As a native Floridian, I was really surprised and somewhat skeptical to find a Cuban restaurant…read morethis highly rated in a VA mountain town. I trusted Yelp and once again Yelp didn't let me down. The food here is awesome and is as good as any Cuban place I've had in Florida. There was even a fellow Jaguars fan here. I was amazed and impressed by the food here. Everything had to authentic Cuban taste and the ropa vieja had more spices and flavor than at most other Cuban places I've tried. The black beans and yellow rice were also spot on and the fried plantains were cooked just right, not too soft and not too hard. They also give you a ton of food here, I was hungry and still had to grab a box to have the rest of my meal the next day. Service is very fast and friendly here, you order at the counter and they let you know when your order is ready. You can also order online if you want something else while you're enjoying your meal. This place isn't huge with just a few booths but there was a good balance of people eating here and getting orders to go. This place is a must try if you're area whether you've never had Cuban food or have tried it before and want to try some of the best Cuban food I've had anywhere. I'd be a regular here if I lived closer but will be back when I'm in the area.

We were visiting the area and stopped here for lunch. Recommend by a local construction worker who…read moreeats lunch here everyday. We were with our service dog and he was welcomed too.

As far as management and service, it leaves a lot to be desired. 2 stars maybe 3 stars. My friend and I wanted to have the lunch special. I had driven by the other day and saw a sign outside advertising a lunch special. It was very hard to read, so I called and an English speaking man gave me bad information. He said the lunch special was Monday - Friday. It's not. It is Mon - Thurs. We came on a Friday. We asked the waiter and he said no they don't have a lunch special because Cinco de Mayo is next Tuesday. Well, that didn't make any sense. We both wanted a regular sized margarita to have with our lunch and everything on the menu was $7.99 for this size. Then we saw "The Skinny Margarita". It peeked our interest. So we asked several questions about it. The waiter said very quickly, so you both would like a jumbo skinny Margarita!?! My friend started to say yes, but I caught it and said NO. We both will have a regular size skinny margarita on the rocks with salt. We felt like we had been had by this. The waiter was very smooth and slick. When we got our bill we discovered our regular sized Skinny Margarita cost $14.99. We'd been had!!! It will be a very long time before we ever step foot in Los Panchos again. Very disappointing to be taken advantage of so intentionally.

I liked the radish on top of the taco and I liked the choice of salsa. My only complaint is the lime in the green sauce and guacamole. Lime should always, always, be served on the side. It's not appropriate in the food. It's always an add on in Mexican cooking. It's much too overpowering and ruins the flavor of the food. The food should stand on its own. I highly recommend a visit to this establishment!!

They have two vegetarian tacos, and I rather liked the more "real food" sweet potato and black bean than their tofu taco, but both were delicious. Upon seeing they had a seasonal special salsa; I was glad I took the option to order it as it was delectable and I liked it enough to haul what I didn't use back with me to save for another day. Their rice and beans have a vegetarian option, and given the option for various indulgences, I went for a semisweet chocolate cake, the sprinkles on which were unnecessary but fun. The salt level in something (or everything) was excessive, which had me gulping water. And it's a shame, because they could dial it back and this would still be some quality food.

We were in the area to celebrate a baby shower and decided to have a group dinner. Mr Garcia was recommended and we were all in!!! Few things cannot be cured with a delicious quesadilla. Upon arriving, parking was FULL! Certainly popular. We even ran into friends in the lot pulling up with their parties too. It's a large establishment! Menu was full of great options- from meat, to chicken, to veggie. Can I just say- as a Spanish speaker myself, I know the food will be good and authentic when native Mexicans are managing and owning the establishment. Even the servers were bilingual! We started with a round of drinks, I ordered a pina colada and several at the table ordered peach margaritas and modelos. Drinks were delicious and a good size! The special prices were just right. Then we ordered our main entrees. Due to it being a Friday in lent, I ordered the veggie combo where I had several options to pick 2 from for a meal. I got the chile relleno with cheese potatoes and beans and the veggie quesadilla. It was very filling! The food came out straight from the kitchen! Other dishes ordered also looked incredible- from the arroz con pollo to the taco salad. The chips weren't my favorite, tbh. Seemed a little burnt and thick. I like my tortilla chips from restaurants "restaurant style" so thin and greasy and crispy, and these weren't that :( they also had a white sauce served with chips and it was sweet and strange honestly. Of all the authentic aspects of this cuisine, this one pick didn't belong. I understand wanting to cater to the locals but this sauce didn't seem enjoyable at all. The chips also aren't bottomless, one basket more is free and any following is $1.99, not much but still. I ordered a flan to go! I'll absolutely be back!
