Eleven out of ten, For service atmosphere. As well as quality of food. I would definitely take anybody else with me to this place to eat.
The five stars for you Amanda from the bar area thank you for your service. You made my night to catch my flight to Miami thanks for your service
A small quiet and trendy spot. A nice guy attended to my Mother and myself right away. Served us our frozen Mango and Pineapple margaritas. We came for the super monstrous frozen drinks. It's 91 degrees today's and frozen margaritas were much needed. Mother & Daughter outing.
My wife and I went here for Cinco de Mayo, which is also our wedding anniversary. I had a virgin watermelon margarita and she had a true strawberry margarita. The watermelon wasn’t so sweet that it tasted like syrup, it was PERFECT! My wife felt the strawberry margarita had the perfect mix of tequila and mixer. Our server, Giselle, was so kind and lovely. She told us that most of their drinks can be made virgin! We had fresh chips, the salsa is more watery but very tasty. I also got my favorite, the white melted cheese. So good! For entree I ordered the chimichangas with cheese and shredded beef. My wife ordered the enchiladas with chicken. She ordered fresh salsa verde in the side and said it was great. Our entrees tasted fresh! They remained hot for a long time. The rice and beans were top tier. We ended up chatting with Giselle and told her it was our anniversary. She got ‘mad’ at us and said next time we come in we get a shot and a desert on her! Lol! We are new to the area and have been looking for those staple restaurants and this will certainly be one of them!
Great service the waitress was very friendly and attentive. First time of visiting this place so it was hard to decide what to get. We ended up getting some cheese dip with some chips on the side to start and my husband ordered the chimichanga and I ordered the three tacos one of each meet. The food came exactly as we ordered and tasted good, it had a nice flavor. The bathroom was a little small and the door was wide open and could use some cleaning and even though the music was a bit loud in the restaurant it was still a nice environment and we enjoyed our dinner.
Swung by woth my semi to planet fitness and then here afterwards for a meal. Took a steak with veggies and a bowl with combo meats that the server recommended, was delicious, definitely will be back when I’m around.
We love Pachanga!!! Every time our food and service have been nothing short of perfect... I always get 'steak con rajas' which has been consistently perfect each time. The steak is cooked perfectly, tender and great grill flavor. Vegetables are fresh and delicious with the grill flavor as well. Drinks are refilled before you realize it was getting low and they make sure you aren't lacking anything ask how everything is. Obvious the associates of Pachanga like working there and want you to like it as well, every visit has exceeded our expectations and we will forever be loyal customers.
Had a three top, chicken burrito, steak mole enchiladas (photographed) and steak taco dinner. All three were fantastic, I haven't had mole that good in some time. Guacamole was delicious also, best I've had in town so far. Service was quick, and the waiter was friendly and polite.
