Panchito's Mexican Grill

This place is tucked away in a hotel’s back side. Don’t be fooled by its low key and dull exterior. We were seated 2 minutes of reaching there. Once seated they provided their famous house chips and 3 salsa. Their salsas are one of the best salsas I have tried around here. Our food came within 22 minutes of ordering. They forgot to properly make one of the dish and our server was quick to apologize (very rare to get this nowadays) and fixed it. Food was really good tasting. One of the best Mexican food I had around this area. Food is also fairly priced. Ambiance is also tolerable. Overall 4.3/5 stars.

Was there Friday and the food was amazing! Vilma our waitress made the best fresh guacamole for us. The margaritas are also really good.

Panchitos was pretty solid. I would say a 3.7 out of 5. It’s definitely more “Americanized” Mexican food but worth a visit. The chips and salsa were free. The chips were warm and the 3 different salsas were good. The Arroz con Pollo and the Fajitas (not pictured) were the favorite dishes of the table. Our waitress was also very nice.

I agree with others, do NOT be put off that the restaurant is connected to a hotel. The staff was extremely friendly & welcoming, you'll be seated immediately. The food was fantastic!!! See below photos to understand why my belly was excited for this meal. 😁 I will definitely be coming back. We were pleasantly surprised at how strong the house margarita special was(only drink one if you're driving, it sneaks up on you). Highly recommend!

Stopped by with the family after visiting Carowinds. It super close to there and we were ready for a good Mexican meal and a cold beer. Was not disappointed, the place was great. It was clean and the staff very friendly. Service was fast for meals cooked to order and great atmosphere. Portions were hefty (See my photos). Will definitely be returning.
