This is one of my preferred spots on the college side of town. It's a small, casual place with outdoor and indoor tables. The decor is colorful and festive. The place is a bit rundown but pleasant and more or less clean. There are two single-stall bathrooms. The menu is a typical Mexican restaurant menu, but the food is (in my opinion) above average. My favorites are the taco salad and the arroz con pollo, both of which are the same size but cheaper on the lunch menu. They have a small selection of the beers you'd expect as well as some Mexican sodas. Service is adequate and they have Apple Pay. read more

I had the texas quesadilla and the guava agua de fresco. It was delicious and the drink was refreshing and not too sweet. The service is great and the ambiance is colorful. I'll definitely be back and recommend to friends. read more

This place is good. Your typical Mexican restaurant with familiar options and yummy drinks with good drink related deals. I ordered a sangria and it tasted good, although I do wish it had fruit in it like a typical sangria and like what was pictured. To eat, I ordered the chicken taco bowl, however it was brought out as a steak taco bowl. I chose not to tell the server as it was still yummy, just not what I ordered. read more

Absolute mindless trash...unless you are an FSU student with daddy's wallet and don't give a damn about quality. Every aspect of our 1 hour visit to this place was wrong. Went ahead and paid the bill although it was $35 higher than it should have been so I didn't make a scene. I didn't want to be that guy. Waitress thought a Texas margarita was the house version and vice versa. As I was writing this the waitress came back to try and make the tab right. Very sweet young lady. Feel really horrible because the owners didn't teach her anything. She is 18, walked in day 1 and took tables. Shame on the owner. Except for her, pretty much a completely trash experience. Would only come back because she shined greater than the restaurant. read more

Arroz con pollo was so good. Got queso on the side to drizzle on. Very affordable. Yummy.

I got the fried avocado tacos and a side of queso. I split the queso with a friend and there were still left overs and it was only $5.50 total. The tacos were a fair price and filled me up, I still had one leftover when I was done eating and I had come to the restaurant hungry. The fried avocado tacos were tasty but didn't have too much flavor, but nothing hot sauce couldn't fix. The chips were crispy and warm and while the salsa was delicious, it did have a sorta tomato paste texture and taste, so if you like chunkier salsa it may not be for you. They did have a whole vegetarian section in the menu. We came a little after lunch time so it wasn't very busy and the service was fast. read more

We had the pollo con crema and classic chicken fajitas on our first visit to this restaurant. I was drawn to try it after seeing the screened-in outdoor porch while stuck in traffic on Stadium Drive. It's a quaint little place with scrumptious food and extremely friendly staff. Parking was in demand at dinner time, possibly because a graduation ceremony was going on at FSU. My only quibble is that the beer list had Proof 85 but they had run out. It is rare I find any local craft beer at a Mexican restaurant, so I'd been hoping to order that. But everything else was good. read more

I came here a few days ago post-workout with my girls. We were craving some Mexican food and it was taco Tuesday, so we figured we would give this place a try! Parking is tight in the plaza, so carpooling is a must! It's right near FSU so it's very busy in the evenings. However, on the evening we went, we were seated quickly and were given chips and water! Maybe we just got lucky! The staff wear masks and the menus are now on a QR code system which kept the whole encounter sanitary and as germ free as possible. Which is always a plus with the current world situation! I ordered chicken enchiladas with three different sauces. The enchiladas were flavorful but I wish they had more meat in them. My friends seemed to enjoy their tacos! I don't believe that they have delivery but they have online ordering! All in all, we waited around an hour for our food. So make sure you aren't in any rush. But if you need a quick fix close to school, this is somewhere easy to go! read more

Pancho's Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Upon my recent visit to Tallahassee, I was in the mood for some shrimp tacos. In that way, Pancho's did not disappoint. The shrimp tacos were very tasty. The spicy sauce on the shrimp added a little kick to the flavor along with the lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. The restaurant decor is lively and the waitstaff was helpful. I wish the food had been a little more innovative, but the food is standard Mexican fare and I have no complaints. read more

What a disappointment! I put in my order to go and when I got there, they hadn't even started it because of a computer problem. Well, stuff happens, so I'm not too upset. Then the server tells me they don't have choriqueso because they don't have chorizo. What? A Mexican grill without chorizo when it is on their menu in several places? I should have canceled right then. So, the queso would be ok, but she didn't even offer a refund on the price difference. The queso was just boring and bland and the chips were not salted. After waiting, I got my food and took it home. Awful. My friend 's dinner, the Arrachera, was practically inedible with gristle and fat. The corn tortillas were hard, stale, and cold. My food, the seafood Fajitas, was also horrible. The mahi-mahi was hammered. I don't mean just a little over, it was FISH JERKY! Hard pieces of hockey pucks that my dogs had problems chewing. The shrimp were ok, just a little over, but the scallops were MIA. No chorizo and no scallops? Who does the ordering for this place because they forgot the chorizo and scallops this week! And don't even get me started on the lack of seasoning or spice. Bad, bad, bad Mexican food. If you want good Mexican food, please don't think you can find it here. Go to one of the local taco trucks in the area. Much better food at a much more reasonable price. read more

This place is horrendous. Never got a refill the whole time. My friends had to ask for one. The fajita plate is very underwhelming. Small pieces of chicken. The pineapple were tiny. Undercooked bacon. Refried beans taste like out of a can. The bathroom is a mess. Shit stains in the toilet. Paper towels not even in the machine read more

My experience here was great. Great location but a steady stream of customers. I love the " Day of the Dead "motif. Our server was an FSU student, Alina, and did a fabulous job. The chicken quesadilla and steak fajitas were great. Salsa was a bit spicy. Prices were reasonable. Family owned restaurant. Nice to have a Mexican restaurant close to campus. read more

Server was very kind but bland food and weak drinks!! Do not recommend!! There were flies inside of the restaurant.

This place was okay. We initially tried to go somewhere else and that didn't work out. We needed somewhere quick and close to go so we chose here. It was pretty empty when we got there, there were a couple tables with people but overall not many and they were getting ready to leave. The bar was empty. It seemed as if they were getting ready to remodel or something. Things were off about this place. The waiter was okay. Had a deep accent, luckily we knew Spanish and it was easier to speak to him that way. One thing that was weird was that my boyfriend asked for sweet tea and he said he didn't have any. How do you not have sweet tea? We weren't sure if he understood so, again, we asked in Spanish. But to no avail, he was correct. I wanted to go basic and quick so I went with a shrimp quesadilla with rice and beans. It wasn't anything special. My boyfriend had the asada tacos that came with rice and charro beans. He wasn't impressed. Would I come back? Probably but nothing that I'd be rushing into. You can give it a chance if you want. read more

Zach was such an attentive and kind server. He worked for 20 minutes getting the outside TV to work and then moved us inside to fit 9 of us for the super bowl game. He came to ask us what we needed every 5 minutes and did whatever he could to make our experience great. I will come back just to see him! read more

Crew stood around and watched as a new employee made a few fumbles on his first day, and expected us to laugh along with them! It seems that in their focus on Getting that Tip, and not sharing with a new employee, they forgot what workplace professionalism is. The service did not warrant the arrogance I might add. read more

The food is fantastic, the servers are amazing as well! Authentic food and for a great price. The margs are 2 for 1 and they are definitely not lacking on the tequila. Only thing I'm docking is that it happened to be busy on a Saturday and they only had one server. Besides that we will be back!! read more

This was the most basic Tex Mex I have ever had. The taco salad was so bland with charred steak and a shell that def came out of a box. There has to be somewhere better here. Service was fine. read more

So I might have to re-review this place in the future cause I don't know if I gave it a fair shot. Food: I came here for lunch and ordered their $2 taco Tuesday specials. I got chicken and beef. I honestly wanted to like it but it was pretty bland honestly. The chicken had almost zero flavor. The beef was a touch better but still lacking. I'm not sure if it was the special I ordered and their main dishes are better but I was not impressed with the tacos here. They really need some seasoning on their proteins. Service/decor: Service was kinda slow cause they had basically 1 guy for the whole restaurant. Decor was really cool though. Definitely one of the coolest Mexican restaurants in town! read more

Not the worst thing I have ever eaten, but could have been much better. I have never heard of a burrito with green beans, peas, and carrots in it. That threw me .... totally odd in a burrito. Didn't taste good as the beans were crunchy and uncooked too. When I asked why, they told me they use Mexican rice, and all Mexican rice contains this. And said it was a "fusion" burrito. However the menu didn't state this, and I never had green beans in my Mexican rice before. I'd skip if I were you. read more

Love this place! I've been a few times now and had has great experiences each time. The servers are always very friendly and the food is really good. Their enchiladas are really good and so is the burrito loco. They also have BOGO margs, which are some of the best we've had in Tally. read more

Pancho's Mexican Grill - Colorful but tasteless and very stringy - Mexican Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Don't order online!!!! I ordered online and they didn't start making my order until I arrived. Sat for 20 mins because they hadn't started it and then said nothing about the fact that I had placed the order 50 MINUTES AGO!!! Then on top of that, I tried calling many times before we ordered online and I got hung up on twice, then they disconnected the lines. Honestly have never had a restaurant be so difficult to order from. read more

Come to restaurant at 11:20 door was locked. Young boy opens door and says I don't think we are open yet. Waited til 11:40 you still weren't open. Took our business elsewhere. First time visitor. Maybe you should change your time, cause it clearly says 11:00 am. read more

Pancho's Mexican Grill - Chicken quesadilla. - Mexican Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Love love love this place. Very welcoming atmosphere paired with a solid variety of Mexican staples . They have all the classics: tacos, burritos, enchiladas, fajitas, quesadillas as well as burgers in case there are any picky eaters in the group the bases are well covered. For starters they bring out chips and salsa and the salsa is delicious and they have some pretty solid guacamole and queso if the salsa isn't enough. I ordered the steak fajitas however they have chicken and shrimp options as well as a "Texas style" with chicken steak and shrimp . I enjoyed my food however it was very hard to get anything other than the carnitas dinner which is my all time favorite. my girlfriend ordered the taco salad which came in a taco bowl and thoroughly enjoyed it. Solid happy hour too, recommend giving this place a try ! read more

Portion size: The size of the dishes was big for what you're paying for. Service: The service there was fast and the workers came by often. The atmosphere of Pancho's was incredible. The tables were covered in Mexican painting/artworks. The burritos there are good. The tortillas and wrap were heated, but not burnt. The cheese was gooey, and the ingredients tasted fresh. The only thing that could need improvement is the taste of the chicken, but even that wasn't bad. The chicken just has a neutral taste to it, tasted like normal chicken lol. The queso was amazing. At first the cheese was runny, but after about 10 mins the cheese became thicker and more enjoyable. read more
