Pancho's Sea Food — Restaurant in Guanajuato

A great place for fresh, mostly raw seafood. The atmosphere is nautical, and your waiter may bring you generous samples of their creative dishes. Highly recommended.

We returned, over a year later, to enjoy Pancho's two days in a row. We were attended by Aldo, a friendly young waiter who spoke some English. I had the Ostiones al Jardinero, a spectacular cold dish of 5 huge Rock Oysters dressed with cucumber, onion and tomato and topped with large, peeled, impeccably fresh shrimp. My wife had a large coctel de camarones, without catsup, at her request.

A large tostada that combined marlin in vinaigrette and more was good, but did nor reach the level of the preceding dishes.

On our return the next day, we both had "cazuelas", which are a sort of rustic seafood cocktail in a bowl, with large pieces of tomato and avocado on top. My wife's contained her favorite combination of shrimp and octopus, while I had a delightful Cazuela Campechana, which held a bit of every mariscos of those available.

Aldo was again our waiter and he brought us a complimentary silkenly ripe avocado. When we said goodbye, I suggested to him that a Pancho's seafood restaurant be opened in Morelia, Michoacán, closer...

Pancho’s is my seafood sanctuary in León—no frills, just straight-up flavor. The jaiba a la vinagreta? Tangy, spicy, and always a knockout. Fresh oysters, shrimp cocktails, ceviches that taste like they just hit the shore.

It’s that rare mix: family feel, world-class flavor. No showy nonsense—just honest food, cold beer, and the kind of vibe that makes you feel like a regular even if it’s...

I am pretty sure this is one of the Top10 restaurants in Mexico if you want to eat seafood! The quality is A+++ and I can trustfull recommend this restaurant. If you ask Pancho will also create a vegetarian alternativ for you.

Friendly, Fast, Clean, Fresh and Fast - all of this combined with a familiar atmosphere!

Muchas Gracias Pancho por tu buena atención!
