★★★★★ 5.0 Matthew DiCristina · Oct 2025

My fiancé and I visited for the first time yesterday, and everything exceeded our expectations. The food was incredible, and the service was top-notch. We had the tortilla soup, empanadas, and seafood paella all perfectly timed and delicious. Don’t forget while drinking their delicious homemade sangria. We’ll definitely be coming back regularly!

We visited early on Sunday afternoon, a slow time. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Our food was excellent, served propmply and well presented. The Quesadilla Tropical was delicious, with a generous amount of cheese, ham and pineapple. My chicken fajitas were generous and served with safrin rice, guacamole, sour cream, Pico de Gallo, refried beans and 4 tortillas. The Arroz con Camarones was huge with more shrimp than I could count. There was more than enough left over for another meal at home. La Panchita has made it to our go-to list for good food & frendly service.

Got it 👍 — here’s a **professional, but still honest and firm** version of your review that would fit well on Yelp or Google: --- **Red Flag Review 🚩** I came in expecting authentic Mexican cuisine, but unfortunately, the experience fell far short. The chips and salsa were disappointing — honestly, Taco Bell’s sauce has more flavor. After the meal, I didn’t feel well, which is never a good sign. Menu options for tacos were very limited, with just an order of three priced at \$24. At that price point, I expected a high-quality dining experience like you’d find in the city, but the food and overall execution didn’t match. On top of that, the restaurant’s appearance could use some real attention and care, as it doesn’t reflect the prices they’re charging.

I don't usually review restaurants but this place was so awful I don't understand the reviews. The only reason we ate the food was because we were hungry after an hour wait at 7 p.m. on a Tuesday night. The place had two other tables. Nothing about my garlic shrimp said "Mexican," especially not the Bird's Eye veggies they were served with. The staff was nice but not attentive. Will never go back.

It's been a while since I was in here. I dropped in at about 5pm. The place was deserted. I was thinking about a margarita and maybe something to eat. I have learned to asked the price of drinks these days and I am glad I did. They said a margarita was $15. I then realized why the place was deserted. Thanks but no thanks, I left.
