About Pancho's Restaurant

Pancho's has been anchoring South Bay celebrations since 1977 from its spot on Highland Avenue, serving reliable Mexican classics in a room filled with greenery, warm lighting, and the energy of a restaurant that knows its community and has decided to be exactly what it is for fifty years. The margaritas are proper — lime juice, good tequila, salt rim — and arrive in glasses large enough to be an occasion. The enchiladas are filled generously, the carnitas plate arrives with all its accompaniments. Weekend brunch adds eggs and chilaquiles and a bottomless option that the beachside crowd has thoroughly embraced.
