Passing through and wanted Mexican and found Pancho & Wilie's online. It's located in a casino and is a great place. Cool ambience and great service from Mariela (I hope that's here name...very sweet gal!). Good menu and good cocktails too. Delicious food! Can't go wrong! The only thing that keeps me from going 5-star is the price. We eat out more than 300 days a year and also own our own restaurant and bar in Mexico. Like 25 dollars for a combo plate of cheese enchiladas? Three tacos for over 20 bucks? Seriously? Two simple dinners and a couple of drinks almost 100 bucks with tips. I guess there's a captive audience there in Wendover so not many choices and the food is very good, but just be warned. Also, funny thing happened when we arrived, We showed up about 7-ish. Prime dinner time. We told the hostess it would be "two for dinner." She asked, "Well, do you have reservations?" The place only had diners at one table! The rest of the dining area was empty! Reservations? Really? Well, she said she could "still seat us" even without reservations. In the 90 minutes there, only about 8 more diners came in. Far from busy. LOL Hate to baste on anyone. This is a good place and we'll be back. read more

Great, fresh food. Friendly staff. Everything from the complimentary chips and salsa, to the lettuce and tomatoes on the salad were super fresh. I will most definitely return with a smile. I ordered the Halibut with veg. The veggies were nice glazed in butter, soft but firm and delicious read more

We come to Wendover two or three times a year and since this place opened it is our favorite dinner spot. The service is great, the food is delicious and prices are VERY reasonable for the portions received. We never leave hungry and quite often can't finish everything. Ordering a side of guacamole is a must for your chips and to eat with your meal. I've had the tacos, enchiladas and chimichanga and been happy with all. My boyfriend is a fan of the chile verde, but also likes the rellenos and tamales. If you want to indulge in a good tequila, this is the place to do it and don't be afraid to ask your server for a recommendation. Last but not least are the desserts; although we've only had room twice to enjoy them. The pumpkin flan was very good, but so were the soppapillas. read more

Pancho & Willie's - Great food and service. Loved the homemade guacamole, salsas, Dos XX and a good quality tequila. - Mexican Near Me - Wendover, Nevada

DO NOT fill up on the fresh chips and salsas. And don't be fooled by the price. The meal is huge! You get what you pay for. I ordered chili rellenos which were a perfect pair of giant stuffed pablanos covered in a fresh and fluffy batter and smothered in more cheese and tasty sauce And beans (black or pinto) and rice and a sweet ball or corn pudding. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his macho burrito when was plenty for a big guy. read more

Pancho & Willie's - Not just 1 but 2 of the biggest chili rellenos I've ever seen! - Mexican Near Me - Wendover, Nevada

Super meal, one of the best Mexican Combo plates I've experienced. Kudos to Chef and waitress Gloria. Service was timely and courteous, meal was fresh and hot. I had the Grand Combo, wife the Burrito. Great atmosphere and decor. If in West Wendover be sure to visit Pancho and Willies, read more

Not sure this was the best choice. Saturday night - hostess was not friendly and gave a vibe that she did not want to be there. Waiter - same. If you do not like you job please leave or do not reflect disgruntled attitude to paying customers. Price did not match food. Too much sour cream and the rice was not good, tasted old. I would not recommend this place. read more

We are staying at the Peppermill during our stay in Wendover, so we decided to eat at Pancho and Willie's for convince seeing as how it is located inside the Peppermill casino. We stood at the service counter for quite some time before we were helped and it took our waiter even longer to come by and take our drink order. The chips and salsa were good, and our meal was about average. Overall the experience left us lacking. The portion sizes, on the other hand were enormous, so if you're looking to save money, you can eat here and split one meal between two people easily. We had way too much food left over. read more

If I could review this place with ZERO stars, I would! And the fact that I didn't even get past the Hostess stand should say something. I had the displeasure of meeting Maria at the hostess stand while I was attempting to dine here. Maria told me I couldn't be seated for 25 minutes. Normally not a problem, but when I asked her why 25 minutes when clearly half of the tables were empty, she responded with..."Listen, do you want to wait or not"? Well, that would be a big NO! Do yourself a favor and keep on driving to Salt Lake, heck, I'd even drive the 6 hours to Reno before I would stop in this disgusting, 2 horse town. Armpit of the country...period. read more

Have to admit I was a bit skeptical about a 'fine dining' restaurant in Wendover. Pleasantly surprised by the great meal we had. We had coconut shrimp for an appetizer which was great. My wife had the Polo Acapulco and I tried the chile rellenos and both were very good. It was very busy when we were there and our server did a great job. Would have given 5 stars but the drinks were really weak (really weak compared to the free drinks playing games in the casino). If in Wendover again, I would dine there again for sure minus the drinks. read more

This place tucked away inside the Peppermill Casino. I was pleasantly surprised at with the food in this place. For a pretty fancy place the food has lots of good flavors. I had the 3 combination plate with a chicken enchilada, shredded beef taco and chili relleno rice and refried beans. Although it is a bit pricey but well worth the dinner. read more

We were a little worried when we sat down and saw the prices because they were a little high... but the food was amazing and worth the price. The service was very persinable. We will definitely visit again. read more

This place is NOT vegetarian friendly! They advertise that they are but it's not true. We were traveling through the area on highway 80 and just wanted a good Mexican dinner. If your a veggie like my husband and I don't go to Pancho and Willie's. They won't even serve you any rice or beans that don't have meat. How crazy is that? Our server tried to come up with an option so we had a cheese quesadilla, too much cheese and tough white tortilla, and a veggie burrito with just the greasy fired veggies from their meat dishes wrapped in a tough white tortilla. The only thing worth having were the $3.00 margaritas. I tried to talk to the manager and the host came to our table and politely said he cannot tell the chef how to cook! Again don't go to this restaurant if you are a vegetarian. read more

The food here was amazing, and the service was exemplary. We had jessica as our server and she was so nice, helped us pick incredible meals (ribeye age fish tacos) and never missed a beat! read more

I have tried this place twice, I would never go back there. The first time I ate here, the food was super salty. The second time, I ordered a steak fajita, the steak was so chewy, I couldn't even eat it. The manager was nice enough to take it off our bill. The service here is good but the food is horrible and over priced. read more

Always good food, good service. A little pricey but portions are a good size. Never a disappointment coming here.

What a surprise...During our road trip back from California, my husband and I stayed at the Peppermill casino. We had a lovely dinner here and the food was really delicious and our server Mariela made it extra special. Her attention to detail and service was a nice change of pace and completely unexpected! read more

My server Mariela was amazing!! The food was outstanding as well. What a great dining experience!! I will be coming back again.

This place is a must when I go out to wendover. I love the food and it goes great with a bottle of Dr. Loosen risling. ;) They staff is always awesome and I love the atmosphere. It is my favorite restaurant in wendover. read more

Great Mexican food!! If Mexican food is what you want, this is the place. Fast and amazing service, you can tell the people that work here take pride in their job. The only reason I give it 4 stars, is the price, It's to expensive. read more

Great mexican food, had the Gordo platter and it was awesome!. Friendly waitress and great service. Can't beat $3 margaritas either.

Wildly overpriced, and the food is nothing special. The service was adequate but perfunctory. The confluence of smells in this area may have affected my appetite, though: bathroom cleaner, cigarette smoke, and old beer are not a great combination. read more

This is NOW the best restaurant in Wendover. Giant portions of flavorful food. They would have earned five stars but there is some strange happenings with the wait staff/management. The first evening we went they had a very large party seated before we arrived and though they by no means filled the restaurant, for the following 30-40 minutes no other customers were seated for this given reason: "We don't have any more menus." They had plenty of tables, but.....no more menus? I'm quite sure most people if given the choice would have opted to be seated and been served chips and salsa and had a drink order taken while they awaited a menu. The second visit we arrived a few minutes after they opened when the majority of the restaurant was still empty (and there was a stack of menus) yet, instead of being immediately seated we were told to step aside while the couple who arrived a moment behind us were queried whether they had a reservation. I've never had that happen with an empty restaurant. She could have seated us and returned in less than a minute which any person with a reservation would not have seen as an inconvenience. Anyway....yummy food. Just prepare for some interesting management stylings! read more

I really enjoyed the blackened ribeye 16oz, it was really tasty and enjoyed every bite, also well worth the $29 compared to the 22oz bone in ribeye at the Steak House in the Rainbow Casino for $47. On this visit however it was very busy, we were seated at 7:45, and the first waiter presented himself at 7:58, it took till 8:13 to get a water, and 8:22 to get a salad. Again the food tasted great but made for a miserable evening. We will go back but just not during the busy time and more like at 5pm as they open. For busy times more staff is needed. Thank You read more

These past few negative reviews baffle me. I have been to Pancho and Willis's dozens of times and have absolutely never had a bad experience. The food is always fresh and amazing as well as the service. I recommend 100% and can tell you...if a person is not impressed with the cuisine here, they won't be impressed anywhere. It is impossible to make everyone happy. :-) read more

This is in the peppermill and it's the fine dinning for here. Mexican food is the wife's favorite. That being said they bring out two different salsa and chips. I loved the fijitas here VERY LARGE, these were excellent. I would say if you like mexican you will like this place. The cost was around $20 for our meal each and this was a good value compared to the portion. read more

What a nightmare. The service here is good but the food is horrible and overpriced. This food was literally the same quality as a very cheap frozen dinner. The beans had little taste other than salt, no texture, but it did have a crunchy skin and six tiny sprinkles of white cheese. The rice had nothing but orange color and was drier than the desert outside. The three dollar Margaritas were overrated Slurpees. Everything was served cold. First and last visit. read more
