Panchos Mexican Restaurant - Lincoln Park (MI)

1 /5 Ben Brown: My wife and I went out to dinner tonight. I had heard good things about Panchos and wanted to give it a try. My wife wanted Fajitas Tejanas which they didn’t have but offered to make it if she paid an extra $14 for the shrimp and chicken. We told them to go ahead so she could get what she wanted. The food looked good but was greasy and hers had a weird smell. We attempted to eat our meal, and the grease made our stomachs feel queasy. We then found out our total bill for two people was over $75. Come to find out they charged almost $40 for the fajitas. With that experience I don’t recommend nor plan to return. It would’ve been simple to just make what she wanted without charging outrageously for the ask.

5 /5 Amy V: This is definitely one of my favorite places to get carry out from. I’ve had it so many times I cannot count. My favorite things are their pork Mexican sandwich, burrito dinner, and their flaming cheese!!! And top it all off with a 8 ounce mild salsa, cannot go wrong! This place offers ample seating, but the parking lot is a bit small.

3 /5 Tony Apperson: I’ve been going here since I was a kid and really enjoy the place. Just hard to give the place the best rating when a lot of times the service is kind of slow and I’ve heard some not to great things about how the owner can be at times. The food is pretty good though and they serve alcoholic beverages unlike a few of the restaurants in the area.

1 /5 Y B: I am 1st time customer and yes I am a food critic. This is beyond disgusting, too much grease, it had bad smell, and over charged $40+ for this. Margarita, too much ice for a small class cup for $8.00 each? Server was a bit attentive till my partner had to get up and get napkins from the bar, but I don’t recommend this place. No greetings at the door you also seat yourself.

3 /5 Daisys Page: First time visit. They werent that busy and we got seated immediately. Food wasnt bad but my husband and I have had better. I cant recall the name, but we ordered a cheese appetizer that had chorizo, onions and peppers. A little soupy. The sauce appeared broken, like all the ingredients wouldnt come together with the cheese. A lot of our tortilla chips were too brown just shy of being burnt. I dont personally like pureed salsa. It didnt have much going for it. The spicy salsa was better, but a few bits of onion would go a long way. My husband had the Mexican pizza. He said it didnt have much flavor and it also was drowning in not so flavorful sauce. I had the combo plate which included a beef taco, tostada, enchilada and burrito. I liked the taco and tostada. Nothing special about the other two items which I took home. The waitress was nice and attentive. My only issue with service was a flighty woman who came aggressively to our table and was practically forcing us to box up our food and leave. There was another table with a couple who had been there longer than us and had actually finished eating, but she didnt approach them. I dont like being rushed and having someone clear dishes around me when Im clearly not done with my food. There were plenty of open tables and booths, so its not like we were keeping anyone from being seated. That being said, I took my time eating my food and packed up when I was good and ready; no time sooner.
