    El Pancho Villa is located in Lowell, NC. We were greeted at the hostess stand by a man who was friendly, about his business and always paying attention to the door so that he could greet guests. They do have the ability to host a larger party. And, plenty of seating: booths and tables. The guacamole was FRESH! Great flavor, and the salsa was delicious as well. We prefer thicker tortilla chips and their chips hit the mark-thick, crunchy, and not salty! My husband got the combination fajitas and really enjoyed his food. My daughter went with the chicken chimichanga and I got the beef chimichanga. In the menu, it says that the beef is cubed; however, it was ground beef. When I asked, he offered to have it remade with steak. I wouldn't allow it, and it was good. I also got a regular beef hard taco. It was good, not great. The ground beef could use more seasoning. The rice and beans were very good. I will definitely be back to try the steak chimichanga. Overall, service and food were good. El Pancho Villa is a solid choice for Mexican food in the area.

    Great food! The sweet tea, salsa, queso, and ACP were 10/10! Would definitely recommend!

    Finally had the pleasure of trying this restaurant and it did not disappoint. It was so delicious. Food was amazing, hot, fresh and not to mention portions were very generous. The staff was friendly, and they were fast. We will for sure be back.

    Service was just ok but food was horrible. Meat of horrible quality and sides not cheesy at all. Very disappointing.

    Street parking right out front…read more Came in on a Tuesday night for a business dinner and sat at the bar. Speed of service was very good until we had an issue. Started with the egg rolls. They were very good and solid sized portion. For the mains, we both ordered filets medium rare. When the steaks arrived both were medium. If it was a ribeye, I probably would have just eaten it but an overcooked filet is no bueno. So we sent back. The bartender/server returned with the steaks as the cook asked us to "cut in the middle." A perfectly cooked filet is cooked the same way throughout. But we obliged and yes, overcooked. This is where the problem arised. It probably took 20 minutes to get our new steaks. Can't help but to think this was done with purpose. But the second round of steaks were cooked perfectly and very flavorful. I got the creamed corn for a side and it was flavorless. Do not recommend. I also ordered blackened shrimp with my steak. They were very good but lost some points as they were cold by the time my steak came back out. The steak issue was handled poorly. Place is quiet. May go back.

    The food was excellent. I got the po boy shrimp taco. It was fresh and very tasty. My wife got the…read morecob salad. There are enough interesting looking options that we will be eating there very shortly. The only downside is that the noise level is fairly high.
