Panchos - In the mood for mexican...


Panchos
Pancho's Mexican Restaurant 
Adress: 127 Lower Main Road, Observatory, Cape Town

Located in the observatory area, which is not as well known as the city bowel, is this awesome restaurant. Think of big plates of cheeeeesy nachos and jugs of delicious frozen margaritas!

First impression: Don't be put off by the area it is situated in. There are dark alleys and strange characters lurking on the street but we have never been in a uncomfortable situation there. As soon as you step into Panchos the festive atmosphere will take you to another level!


Food: Their portions sizes are so big that you wont even have space for the mains. My favourite thing to order is the starter platter for 2 going at a rate of  R90. It consists of  chicken wings, cheese quesadilla, chilli, beef & chicken poppers, potato croquettes, feta wraps, sour cream, sweet chilli sauce, guacamole and nacho chips.  Add another small plate of nachos for R50 and you are set between 2 people.

Drinks: You cant leave ponchos without having at least one margarita(R25)  and a shot of ponchos coffee tequila (R20)! The margaritas come in a range of flavors. They allow you to mix and match between flavors so you can throw together a mango and strawberry combination. If you are going as a big group order the 1L jugs. (R95)

Service: If a restaurant can handle a group op 10+ women .... they get my vote for awesome service!

Dress: Casual ( but leave the jeans and 'tekkies' at home)

Positive points: This really is a budget friendly place if you want to entertain a big group . Make it festive and dress mexican style!

Remember: If your are going as a big group BOOK IN ADVANCE (021 447 4854 ) ! There are 2 time slots , 18:30 & 20:30.
