Pancho's Tacos is apparently a legend for feeding some of the wild and strung out rockers who lived in Venice in the swinging 60's. While the spirit of Jim Morrison might be in the house, our main concern is whether the tacos are too. I have a feeling Pancho's is a sort of White Castle in the taco world, either a taste acquired or a taste loved from nostalgia. Each of my three tacos came doused with a very specific tasting red salsa, that wasn't neccessarily that good; rather commercial and funky tasting.
The quality of the tacos were good, though the tortillas are store-bought, we ain't mad at 'cha Pancho's. The carne asada and pastor were of great and tasty quality, a little greasy and completely scrumptious. But that damn hyper-colored, picante salsa kind of drowned out the true sabor. I was about to leave...unamazed by the Pancho's experience when my stomach and tongue began a vast right-wing conspiracy (they are total Nazi dicks) to get me onto some carnitas...
