Delicious : ) 5/21/2012

The food was good, the atmosphere was interesting, and the service was fine. A little loud, but if you're looking for a fun place, then you won't mind the noise factor. more

Fiesta Time! 10/4/2008

Love the atmosphere and great for parties. Went to a birthday party there and had a super time, got there early and watched the game in the bar area, music on selected nights. Food is average and great for groups. Service is OK, the place gets really crowded. Great that they have their own valet parking, hard to find parking around there. Pros: Great for parties, valet parking Cons: large crowds and loud, service can be slow more

Mixed review on my visit 9/5/2008

I have to say the portions are Tejas (Spanish for Texas) size. Do not think you can have your own appy AND your own dinner. The dinner was plenty. We arrived around 6 - 615 and were seated promptly on a Thursday. Margys are WAY expensive...$10.95 for a standard no frills. For three adults, no apps or desert and one margy each it was around $80. Too many unrully screaming children here.\r Pros: Big portions, great quality. Cons: Valet only, screaming kids, EXPENSIVE DRINKS! more

Beware of the Naughty Mags! 11/11/2007

Don't say I didn't warn you, the Naughty Mags are awesome but strong! The food at Panchos is great, but overpriced. The bar is always packed and there is usually a wait to get a table. Definitely try to make reservations or be ready to wait it out with a Naughty Mag... Pros: Food, Drinks Cons: Wait more

Best Mexican Food in the South Bay 11/7/2007

Great food, great margaritas, great location! What else do you need? On top of this, we occassionally get coupons for one free entree which also turns it into a great bargain. Pros: Food, Margaritas more

NOTHING LIKE A NAUGHTY MAGGIE 10/26/2007

These are the best margaritas in all of Southern California. Their Fish Enchiladas are excellent with huge portions. Service is great as well. more

Mole Mole! 9/20/2007

If you are looking for an authentic experience, with authentic food, than Pancho's is the place to go. The old world feeling when you walk in makes it feel like you are stepping into a little piece of Mexico, if you can, try to sit in the back garden. Without a doubt they have the best Mole in Los Angeles. Not to mention the margaritas are to die for. The Cantina has several large, nice HD TV's that are great for watching sports and hanging out. A place not to miss! more

Authentic Food & Excellent Margaritas! 9/20/2007

Two weeks ago I took my parents and fiance to Panchos on a Friday night. It was busy but with reservations we were seated within 15 minutes. The margaritas are amazing, truly worth their weight in gold. Overall, I enjoyed all the food but the ceviche appetizer was really unique. Also, the staff were friendly and accomodating. I can't wait to return! Pros: Ambience Cons: A little loud more

Always a treat 8/10/2007

Panchos is great spot to go with basically anyone. Great for a party with a huge group to a first date. The ambiance of this place feel really authentic. It's full of Mexican and American antiques including the two front doors taken from a castle in Spain. Try the Enchiladas Suizas with fresh avocados on top, the are SO good! The waiters are great too, they don't cycle though a million waiters so if you go there enough you will get to know all of them more

Impressed 4/12/2007

My husband and I stopped by for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Mole was delicious! Prices are expensive but portions are HUGE. We split our entree and still had some left over for lunch. Service was good. Parking was bad! They do have valet. We didn't have drinks so I can't rate the margaritas. Overall, we were impressed. Pros: service and food Cons: parking and price more

Manhattan Beach staple 3/13/2006

This place is great for a large group or for entertaining out-of-town guests. The margaritas are good and strong; the waitstaff is attentive and authentic - some of the servers have been there for more than 20 years! Two drawbacks: the place gets packed (read: loud) almost every night and, while portions are large, the menu is a bit overpriced. It's Mexican - not French food! We love Pancho's - no question we'll be back. Ask to sit downstairs in the open ""patio"" area. Pros: Margaritas, Excellent service, Yummy fajitas more

Very large Mexican restaurant 8/13/2002

This cavernous restaurant is only a few blocks up from the water in Manhattan Beach. The inside has sort of a tropical theme to it. During my meal, I kept hearing rock songs like ""Patience"" and ""Crocodile Rock"" very faintly (I was in the downstairs section), only to realize later that they were coming from the karaoke bar. A pretty fun if slightly spendy place. more
