This place has an amazing ambiance, staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is delicious and it is overall just a great experience

The service is great and the food was very delicious. Such a beautiful restaurant. Will definitely go again on my next trip to California.

Very nice experience. The food was excellent. Not only is the food good but the have some type of entertainment most nights. Everything from comedy nights to karaoke.

After mediocre reviews we decided to try this place anyway and were rewarded off the bat with fantastic salsa, which is my litmus test. If you can't this well you've got no hope. The banana margarita is made with real fruit and the Carnitas were delicious

I was in the southbay area wondering where to go to, when I stumbled upon this restaurant. I ordered the mole pipián which was delicious, ate every single bit of the entree. Coming into the restaurant, I did not expect it to be as big as it was. A beautiful and specious venue, which amazing decor. Super convenient location, especially if you want to hang around, and take a nice stroll by the beach. The house margarita was perfect. Definitely a place worth checking out!

Met friends for happy hour (2-7 PM) after work. I arrived late so I shared nachos and a taco plate that my friends ordered. I ordered a blended pomegranate margarita. The drink was too sweet for my liking and didn't seem to have much alcohol. Nachos were yummy and plentiful and the taco was delicious. The bar area was well decorated but looked dated. The dining area with skylight above seemed like a nice place to dine. The waitress was very attentive. There was live music at 8, but we didn't stay.

Panchos is a fantastic dependable Mexican - American restaurant. It is the perfect place to bring visitors to Los Angeles. The servers are professional and fast. The atmosphere is cute, relaxing even when noisy, and fun. It's also near the beach to walk off the 2,000 calories you will consume. Everything on the menu is good and portions are huge. Sometimes when busy the food may come out a little less warm then desired. You will know if that happens because the food is normally delivered very quickly. If you are waiting a while, Eg more than 15 minutes, ask the waiter or the dishes may be warm not hot. All traditional Mexican drinks are amazing. Margaritas are $17.50 with dinner. They don't have a drink menu, just ask for a suggestion.

I always have such a good time visiting Pancho's with friends. I love the atmosphere here, and it very much reminds me of family restaurants I've dined in while traveling in Mexico. The aged wood embellishments throughout, the handmade furniture and authentic Mexican tile, lush courtyard with greenery and fountains work together to create an authentic charm that is often attempted, but seldom achieved in the US. This place just makes me happy! First and foremost, the guacamole is outstanding! It's surprising that such a simple dish with only a handful of ingredients can be prepared so many different ways. It's just magical here at Pancho's! Also, you'll also want to try the spinach artichoke enchiladas. While I've never had this specific presentation in Mexico, it's absolutely delightful and one of my favorite dishes here. Speaking of favorites... you should also try Birria Chef Ramon because it's an explosion of flavor. Marinated beef with guajillo chiles and herbs, this dish makes you want to write your Yelp review before you even finish your dinner! You'll want to shout from the rooftops just how good it is. Pancho's Restaurant has a whole lot of appeal, especially in this Manhattan Beach location. Come here hungry with a table full of friends and you'll be sure to have a great time.
