Reviews for Pancho's Restaurant in Manhattan Beach, CA
We had a really fun time here with a group of family members during the holiday season! The food menu looked great but we just... had drinks, chips and salsa and Karaoke night. Great time and the server was fast and friendly. VictorB Read more

Just AMAZING. From the staff, service, food, and manager, they made a special day even more special. The food and drink were... delicious. Get a mango margarita. They accommodated our large party and allowed us to bring decorations to celebrate our event.They helped bring in our items as well. The valet staff was fantastic too. If you want extraordinary service, excellent food,and a delightful time, I highly recommend going to Pancho's. Read more
The wait was a bit long. But it was Mother's day so it was very packed. It's much bigger on the inside then the outside. And... it's beautiful too! I recommend the nachos they can be shared between three people! Read more
I grew up going to this restaurant as a child (10yrs old). My friend suggested let's go to Pancho's. I googled it and saw a... pictures and instantly remembered the restaurant. It was so nostalgic. I'm so glad that the restaurant is still there. It's abeautiful place to go. Even the scenery around the restaurant is beautiful. You could even see Manhattan Beach from therestaurant. The inside is beautifully decorated with a lot of plants. And it just looks like you're at a very authentic Mexicanrestaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant . All the food was amazing just as I remembered as a kid. Read more
Sadly, the price of food has increased here much more than other places of it's type. 2 margaritas, guacamole, 2 entrees, and... one deep fried ice cream for dessert was $110 before tip. Taste is always subjective, but we asked for no cilantro and notspicy for the quac, and it ended up being mashed avocado with a couple of onions and bits of tomato, very bland. Deep fried icecream was very hard, so difficult to eat until the ice cream softened, so the warmth of the deepfried-ness lost its heat.Serving sizes are decent, food is fine. You're mostly paying for a cool ambience and the rent for them being near-ish thebeach. Worth it on a rare occasion, but not going to be going there with any consistency. Read more
I'm so surprised I haven't heard of this restaurant before because it is SO awesome! It is such a beautiful surprise inside... with the high ceilings, fun layout and decorations. There is a full bar inside and seating area to wait for a table. Themargaritas and food were both delicious! A very unique and flavorful menu. Walking distance from the beach. Great ambiance andvibe. I will definitely be back! Read more
One of my favorite restaurants! I love the ambiance here. I’ve always had a great time on each visit. This time the waiter... asked us what we wanted to drink and we asked for water and he walked away and didn’t come back for over 15 minutes as he hadcasual conversation with another table. We were about to get up and leave but then he took our order. After that all went prettysmoothly but that initial contact almost turned me off from this beautiful restaurant. It is definitely worth going! Drinks aretop notch and the staff is wonderful. It’s easier to valet than to ride around looking for parking. Very enjoyable place toeat with the BEST decor! Read more
