Great Carne Asada

by kedvale

This restaurant is known for it's skirt steak, carna asada. It is a healthy portion, grilled to perfection. The prices are reasonable. Margaritas are good and the atmosphere is great to watch a sports game. The staff is very attentive. However, they will struggle with a large crowd.

• Pros: Good drinks and carne asada
• Cons: Not great at handling large groups

Pretty Generic

by hamlin1508

Visited here after being told that it is the best they had so I did have some expectations. The service for a busy pre sox game was overall good. The drinks did satisfy as the other reviewers stated. It is the food were we part company. Mostly bland, the rice had no flavor, rest of the dish was greasy. There are many more Mexican places in Chicago that serve authentic food. Most are the smaller hole in the wall places that are not trying to please everyone, and may not serve alcohol, but much better food. I would go back here for drinks and something to nosh on. I would describe Pancho's as the Bennigan's of Mexican food.

• Pros: Very good drinks.
• Cons: Food was bland.

Best Mexican restaurant for steak!

by lmd6204

If steak is your choice for Mexican food, Pancho's is the place! They have the best char-broiled steak on all of their sandwiches and also have steak for an entree served with beans, rice, lettuce, tortillas and the fixings which is succulent! It is very juicy and very tasty!

Margaritas...did I mention that they have the best margarita I've ever had. People I know go there just for the jumbo margaritas, also! The flavors are regular and blended strawberry. Yumm! A great way to cool off in the summer time! Their prices are very modest and affordable. You can eat an entree with a margarita for under $20.00. Great deal for such delicious food and awesome service!

• Pros: Great food, atmosphere, service and price
• Cons: Chicken is always overcooked and dry. Order the steak.
