Great chips and salsa/guac. Your basic Mexican food restaurant w/in walking distance to beach. No real signature dish so you can't go wrong with anything here. Interesting atmosphere in dining room.
Expensive yes. Atmosphere is great and the Pollo Pipian is excellent. If you want guac you are better off ordering taquitos app and getting the guac on the side.
Alexandra A.April 10, 2013Overpriced, yes. But great atmosphere and tasty eats/drinks. Good for groups & special occasions! Have always had good service even when it's packed, & psst! There's a discount if you pay with cash ;)
Justin HoslerJanuary 8, 2014Sammy is one of the sharpest most punctual servers around! And Abbot always hooks it up with primo seating. Pancho's is a must try!! The guac is best in California.
Shae Agustin-LibbyMarch 31, 2013Not sure why others complained - for the best seating, request the mezzanine area that is at the top of the atrium. Feels like you're dining outside and the food was delicious.- Hunter ThomasJune 14, 2015Classic spot with authentic food and great salsas. Big restaurant with a loud karaoke bar heard throughout...
Geoff WintleAugust 13, 2014This place has not changed since I was here 6 years ago. So I can say they are consistent. Generous servings, more American-mex than Mexican due to the amount of dressing that accompanies each dish.
Best salsa in the world :-) Bar and restaurant staff rocks and makes you part of the family if you visit enough
Zuzana CizovaJuly 31, 2015Naughty Maggie is the best! It's going really well with the homemade guacamole
Lusi GhazaryanJune 9, 2019I loved the atmosphere and the location here, but the food is not of high quality, for just a regular Mexican food itโs overpriced!- Ask for the taquitos ponchos they aren't on the menu but they are so good
- The BEST salsa ever! The staff rocks and so does their tacos, taco salad and burritos
Courtney BreslerJuly 4, 2012Margaritas were great. Service exceptional for our largest group, but menu is wildly overpriced. With drinks, you won't leave under $30
Alexandra PrinceJuly 15, 2014This place was way too expensive! I expected it to be delicious based on the prices and was very disappointed as I have had much better Mexican food for way less money. But it was nicely decorated.
Meghann IngramOctober 6, 2012Major cougar night on Fridays, an older crowd for sure! At least some live music to enjoy!
Lindsey HollandNovember 16, 2011Overpriced because of the awesome location (on the beach), so better for groups and special occasions.- This can describe the food ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Megan TarosAugust 10, 2010Their chicken mole is the best I've ever had outside of Mexico. You won't regret it!
Jeff KinleyApril 4, 2010Go there and listen to Jimmy play on Fridays and Saturdays. You can thank me later.
So ridiculously overpriced for the mediocre quality! Get a mango margarita, karaoke it & then go across the street to El Tarasco. Better Mexican to be had in LA elsewhere~try Lares on Pico Blvd.!
