“SOLD OUT. We’re sorry but we did not anticipate the quantity of burritos y’all can throw down.” San Pancho Burritos, which recently opened at 7056 Carroll Ave in Takoma Park, was forced to close early on Monday after selling out of burritos. The restaurant will reopen on Wednesday morning at 8am.
“Thanks for the support and we’re sorry for the inconvenience.” San Pancho shared on social media. In addition to San Francisco-style burritos, find breakfast burritos, tortas, salads, quesadillas and a full beverage menu starting with Vigilante coffee in the morning then margarita slushies, Mexican beers, and more.

Owners David Perez and Carolina McCandless met in 2012 at Gracias Madre, a vegan Mexican restaurant in San Francisco. They opened Cielo Rojo in Takoma Park in 2019 and recently moved to a larger location. Now, they’ve brought their take on San Francisco Mission-style burritos to Montgomery County.
A “Mission-style” burrito is a type of burrito that first became popular during the 1960s in the Mission District of San Francisco, California. It is distinguished by its large size and the inclusion of rice and other ingredients. This style gained nationwide popularity when major chains like Chipotle and Qdoba began offering their versions.
Carolina McCandless has local ties to the area, as she is from Takoma Park, and her parents own Amano, a nearby store offering unique and affordable women’s clothing, jewelry, accessories, and shoes.
