Pancho's Mexican Villa Restaurant - East Vic Park — Restaurant in East Victoria Park

Amazing food and very fast service. We ordered two Chilli Con Carne Tacos (Hot because why get Mexican if you’re going to choose the Mild or Moderate option), one Beef Taco, one Chicken Taco, a Beef Enchilada, Jalapeño Poppers, Hot Chips and two sides of Guacamole.

The food came out very fast, not long after the Fruit Tingle Cocktail had arrived. While the table for 2 was a bit small for all the dishes, the staff were very helpful in making it all fit.

The Jalapeño Poppers were deliciously spicy and the serving was quite large considering it was shared between only 2 people.

The Tacos were so delicious and not overstuffed to the point where everything falls out. They had the perfect amount of cheese and the small taco stands were very helpful. The Chilli Con Carne Tacos were my favourite especially with some Guacamole spread on top of them.

The Beef Enchilada was amazing with the melted cheese smothered on top and I personally think we did not need a side of Hot Chips as we already had plenty of food.

While everything was great, the tables did seem a bit too close together so it seemed rather cramped. It was also unfortunate that the small pots of Guacamole were $4.50 each as you don’t get much but also I feel all the dishes should just come with it as it’s a big part of what makes Mexican food great (it’s like having to pay extra to put cheese...

I have been to Pancho’s Mexican restaurant several times with family and friends, initially my sister and I went to dinner and were looking for a new experience in dining so when I saw the sign I said let’s try this one, it was the best decision I have made regarding a restaurant, it was super busy but we managed to get a table for 2, the deco is superb, very mexicana and in good taste, the service is excellent, very welcoming and cannot be faulted, the food is awesome, the menu has a great selection to chose from, the drink selection is wide and varied, I chose the steak(well done) with potato and salad and a jungle juice drink, my sister Pat chose the chilli con carne and a coffee, the steak was perfect, it came with a pepper sauce, the potato was sliced and sat on a layer of melted cheese with a white sauce, so combined the whole meal was very delicious and filling, the jungle juice was very pleasing to the taste buds and the fruit was a good palate cleanser, through our time in the restaurant the staff came by and asking if we needed anything else, I found this close service very refreshing, I highly recommend giving Pancho’s Mexican restaurant a try, I also book in advance because they are...

Avoid this place if you are sensitive to gluten! We specifically ordered the fajitas with CORN tortillas, as people in our party have huge GI issues with gluten. Despite this, our server brought us FLOUR tortillas! We flagged our server but he didn't seem to understand the difference between flour and corn tortillas, and kept insisting they were "tortillas". Yes, we knew that, but wanted the corn ones we ordered. After going around in circles for a few minutes we gave up, and those that couldn't eat gluten just piled the fajitas on some corn chips we'd ordered earlier. The flavor of the fajitas was off somehow, and i didn't enjoy it. Definitely a disappointing meal. Mgmt definitely needs to train their staff on the differences between these two types of tortillas!

Also, I appreciate that many people seem to love the Mexican-adjacent theme, but I bounced off hard from the place: I found it extremely loud, and the tables packed way too close together. I wanted to leave almost as soon as I'd sat down. You might like the loud, in-your-face atmosphere but it...
