Another great experience at Pancho. The food was as amazing as ever— can not express how good the ceviche is. Everything is fresh, tasty, and perfect. The passionfruit margaritas are hard to go by. The wait staff was spot-on too, fast and always friendly. It’s a solid choice when you're in the mood for great, delicious food and yummy drinks. Definitely recommend it!
