Like their main location at 16th and Valencia and their sister shop, El Toro, Pancho Villa Embarcadero is a good spot for a well made burrito or quesadilla. The carnitas are flavorful, the carne asada (chopped steak) is smoky, and the al Pastor (spicy pork) is just perfect when wrapped up in a fresh tortilla with rice, beans, cheese, sour cream and guacamole.
Are there better burritos? Sure - but not in the Embarcadero/South Beach area and especially not after 4pm or on the weekends when everything by our apartment seems to close down.
The food is a definite 3 star, but the fact that it brings affordable food to the Ferry Building area is worth a fourth. Sorry Mijita - I just can't justify your wallet draining tacos any more.
