Cantina Mr. Pancho Mexican Grill PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Going to miss this place! In my opinion the best Mexican food in Palm Coast with a very generous happy hour, delicious food, and vibrant atmosphere. Never had a bad meal here including the one last night which was excellent. They close next week so try to get a chance to have a meal here before then.

So, this restaurant doesn't have the pizazz like at Cantina Louis but it definitely has better food in a more relaxing atmosphere. I love Mexican food but find Cantina Louis too bland and Salsa's like microwave food, but here it has the best flavors and freshness. Service is personal and they also have a good bar with great cocktails. If you like more authentic Mexican food then this is your place.

We LOVE this family owned cantina and often go for Friday family night dinner out. They treat us like family and the food is always delish!

Highlight of visit: I love the Texas fajitas, pomegranate margaritas, their habanero salsa and just about everything on the menu. Lots of choices.

Ordered takeout from here and the food was really tasty. We were impressed how good it was and was much better than Salsa's. Good online ordering system but only complaint is that it doesn't have description of the items so we didn't know what many were.

First time back in quite a while... The food and service were the very best... My initial visit here was not very good. They have cleaned up their act so I highly reccommend this place..

Highlight of visit: The salsa was out standing.

Can't really go wrong here! Much better than Salsas in my opinion. Food is tasty and drinks are very good. Nice atmosphere. Service lacking though. When Cantina Louie opens up soon, both Mr. Pancho and Salsas better up their game if they want to survive.

Quite a nice restaurant and more relaxing than Salsa's. Usual Mexican menu with reasonable prices. Rice was a little mushy but the rest of our food was good and plentiful. Staff friendly and drinks were well made.

Multiple visits here and both food and service can be hit or miss here but must admit it's a hit or more than a miss. I think they must have different chefs doing their own recipes because sometimes the food is very tasty and other times it's lacking flavor. Service is mostly very good and friendly and some days it's very off even if not busy. Their margaritas are very good and we like the atmosphere here. It's walking distance from our condo so it's very convenient. It's definitely beats salsas.

Highlight of visit: Margaritas

OH PANCHO!!! OH CISCO!!! This place is pretty good.. the food is decent but the service? Awful. If you can overlook that crappy service, then give it a try.

My wife and I have frequented this restaurant for a few years before becoming Mr. Pancho's. We like Mexican food; and, the food here is OK. The problem we have with it the past couple of times visiting there is the lunch portion size has shrunk. Not only did my chicken fajita have very little chicken, it had very little onion and pepper the last time. It is not a really great location; so, the owners must make amends for that by providing good food at reasonable prices that will not leave a patron hungry when they leave.

My wife and I went there recently for dinner.. When the food finally arrived it was decent. The only issue I have is the service is downright horrendous...Awful. I have been here several times since they changed ownership and every time it gets worse. That was my last and final attempt. Not good.

We have been there several times since under new ownership. My wife and I went there yesterday... what a change from what we were used to. Not good! I always have the chicken or steak fajita and it has always been very good, until yesterday. The fajita portion had been cut in half, mostly a few strips of chicken and not much pepper and onion. I was quite disappointed to say the least. Will give it one more try... maybe they were low on ingredients yesterday. However, if I find the same small portion, I will not go back. The jury is out on Poncho's regarding a recommendation to eat there.

Service was horrendous. Had to speak to the owner to get chips/salsa after sitting for 10 minutes. Asked for water and waited 20 minutes before asking again and finally receiving. Waited 30 minutes for an appetizer before cancelling order. Others were eating and being served all around us (including those arriving after us). Owner offered no apology but gave a flippant response and blamed it on a large party (that was having their table cleared while we still had not been served an appetizer). Muy malo!

Great service..super daily special margaritas for $2.75. Love the hot sauces... ask for the habanero or green to go with your chips instead of the classic.. Food is GOOD. A must try.

This is your typical Mexican restaurant offering nothing different than all the others but their food is good and the margaritas excellent. Our server was very sweet and she made the usual recommendations. I just really wish these Mexican restaurants would go beyond the same old boring menu... Mexico has so many other exiting options which they ignore. Stop Americanizing everything! Zzzzzzzzzzz

My husband and I have been here twice. Food was excellent. I had the steak and shrimp. Very Fresh and cooked just the way I wanted it. Friendly service. We'll be back.

My husband and I went in for Taco Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised at the make over the newer owners have given this hidden hem. They have created a bright, welcoming environment with good food, great Taco Tuesday prices as well as daily specials and friendly staff that was very attentive. Palm Coast needed an authentic Mexican restaurant like this. It's like being on a vacation in our own backyard. We are looking forward to going back and trying other menu items and catching the mariachi band that places there periodically. Congratulations for opening your own place!

Great service! Good food..portions are generous and pricing is fair. Happy hour margaritas are good, there was was 3 of of us and we were all very pleased all around....gsve us 3 salsas to tate from....yum. We will be back. A must try.
