Panchos is as vibrant and lively as ever! Still serving variety of good quality, interesting and exciting Latin American dishes in a fabulous environment, and I just love the pisco sours. If anything, even better than on previous visits!

Such a beautiful place, has good vibes. Food was lovely and staff were attentive to us. The only negative was the stools at the ‘counter’ seating were uncomfortable towards to end of the meal! Otherwise a great dining experience, got to try some new foods which was great!

You just can't go wrong with this place. The service is great and the food is to die for. And the cocktails! Don't bother with a glass, just get a jug!

Always a fan of pancho and its food, which is delicious but on Saturday they said we can’t sit you at 8 for your booking, cause we let walkins have your table… which I was like hang on … what???so we were seated at 825 waiting outside in the heat. Nothing complimentary to say sorry and when I asked about the alcohol of a certain cocktail, she couldn’t tell me what the alcohol was… bit of a mess service wise.
