    Best Mexican restaurant in the upstate. The ground beef isnt the best in the world but they do some authentic dishes realy well.

    Showed up to Monterreys at 7:40PM and told them we had a party of ten. Three hostesses shook their…read moreheads at us and refused to tell us anything. We saw THREE tables sections that would seat at least 10 and they refused to wait for the people in those sections to leave so we could be seated. As we were waiting they kept seating the people waiting behind us at those sections that if they just held even one we could give them our business. After the fourth hostess showed up and shook her head we left and took our business to Fiesta Grill. Fiesta Grill IMMEDIATELY starting moving tables together and by the time the last of our party drove over from Monterreys we were seated. Fiesta Grill will continue to get our business instead of the other place 5 minutes away.

    I usually have nothing but good experiences with this restaurant. I go at least twice a week…read more However, this time we had an older lady as a server. She had an attitude the whole time, checked on us once, and acted like we put her out every time we asked for something while ordering. She was not very good and I didn't leave her a good tip. HOWEVER I gave her something; which her service did not deserve anything! She saw how much I left, and proceeded to follow me out into the parking lot sarcastically yelling thank you. COMPLETELY unnecessary and I do not know if I will be returning. If I return, I will ask for a new server if I get her. Absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for. You should not act like that if you are in the service industry. I understand being frustrated about a low tip, but you earn what you get! Do better.

It was like dried ground beef, no cheese, no spices. The chili Relleno and the burrito was one had a wrap and one had a large pepper on the outside of the try tasteless beef . They tasted the same, both had dried dry tasteless ground beef and nothing else . I had to ask for hot sauce. I had the Le major and couldn't eat it ! Worst Mexican food I have had ever had -Service was lackluster - I barely got the menu and she a wanted to know if I wanted to order, no alcohol . Didn't even offer water . No condiments on the table to try to add flavor to the food. The waitress Never came back after ordering my beverage to see if I wanted cheese or salsa or hot sauce . Mary's grill on 183, California grill on Hwy 130 and Taco Riendo in Six mile are ten times better than pancho's in central . The meal was a feeble attempt at a Mexican restaurant, which won't be there long because of the "I don't give a damn attitude from kitchen to wait staff" for a few hours before. No one ever asked me if the food was alright . So yourself a favor and buy old El Paso taco mix because it's 19 x's better than Panchos in central !

The servers are super nice, and the food comes out fast, which is always a plus. I ordered the steak nachos, and the portions were great -- I really loved them.

Several of us ordered them custom made. Everyone enjoyed them. Well prepared. The chips were crispy. They brought a warm bean dip with was great. They also have a salsa bar in the back with quite a variety of salsas to fit any taste... the spicy pineapple salsa was tops on my list. We had beer, wine, margaritas... across the four of us. Everyone liked what they got. The wine menu is basic, they have a bar so whatever you want is available, they had a nice selection of beer appropriate for the Mexican theme. We will definitely be coming back. Oh, we got there at 5 and were the second table occupied in the place. By 5:30 the place was full. So, on a Friday night be aware that the place is popular.
