"Fantastic visit to celebrate my brothers birthday. So glad to see this place still going strong more than 25 years later no hurricanes could stop this place.. We were greeted with piping hot fresh chips with a chunky flavorful salsa as always. Bowl #2 arrived soon after and stood no chance every time I tell myself don 't fill up on chips and every time I eat too many because they are just so friggin good. Birthday brother ordered an Avion Cadillac margarita which tasted well balanced and fresh. Mom ordered a Moscow mule served in a generous copper mug, and Dad had a frozen margarita with Grand Mariner that had a bit of a bitter twang but overall was enjoyable. I partook in an addictive and irresistible frozen PEACH margarita. Yes, this was as addictive as it sounds, perfectly balanced with sweet peach purée and tart lime. Do yourself a favor and order a FROZEN PEACH MARGARITA on your next visit to Pancho 's and in the meantime I 'm going to invent my own until my next visit.. Dinner: Mom and dad shared tacos al carbon which was teeming with avocado and enough for two to share. Brother and I shared two items: first was marinated bbq skirt steak fajitas cooked medium rare and served on a sizzling plate with lots of pepper and onions, a side of typical fajita accoutrement (beans, salsa, lettuce tomato and cheese), and both flour and corn tortillas for wrapping the portion was generous and everything had major flavor. Second shared entree was a new one I 'd never had before: enchiladas in mole with pork carnitas inside holy Mole!!! This may be my new favorite at Pancho 's slow roasted pork shred inside a tortilla, smothered in jack cheese and a savory mole sauce, served with a choice of two sides (we chose fried plantains and waffle fries and both were spectacular). I 'm still thinking of this and will likely be back for another plate next week. Well done Pancho 's! Thanks for another amazing meal!"
