All the Mexican restaurants in Brookings are Americanized to some extent. They are all very similar in what they serve, and how it tastes. Pancho's is my favorite for our area. They are consistent and I enjoy the meals I have had here. I also appreciate their kids menu and nice staff! After a not so great experience at La Flor, I stopped going there and now rely on Pancho's. They have accommodated us for large groups and always bring you refills, more chips, salsa, etc. They also have many salsa's for every different palate. We usually have 3 different kinds at our table! My kids love everything on the kids menu and sometimes if can be hard for them to like anything, so that says a lot. My husband loves their burrito's, I love their carne asada. Great portion sizes and prices. Love the outdoor seating area, they even have heaters if it gets a bit chilly. Nice bar area and great decor. We have been coming here for over 10 years, when they had their old building, and will keep coming back! read more

Great salsa, and delicious food. Try a seafood burrito.

Quick update. Just had a blast at the bar with the personable bartender Dez and a mix of customers. Grilled fish salad continues to be spectacular, as does everything else at Pancho's. Put the other Mexican restaurants in Brookings on the "pay no mind" list and advance directly to Pancho's...... you won't regret it. read more

This is an exellent Mexican Restaurant. The Ex-Rubio's really did a masterful job remodeling. Great decor and very good food. You can't go wrong here. It is located the east side of 101 heading north out of town. We are local and eat here often. read more

Amazing Mexican restaurant !!! The minute we walked in we were greeted by smiles and friendly staff. The staff all acted like it was their first day at work (happy to be there).They were so nice! I can't remember the last time someone greeted us at a restaurant like this. The place is CLEAN. By far the cleanest Mexican restaurant I've ever seen. They accommodated our large family and immediately served us ice water and smaller cups with lids for the kids, along with TWO different kinds of salsas...one with no spice for the kids and the other one with spice for the adults. The food and drinks came out in no time. The beans and rice were amazing. The kids loved the cheese burgers. We were so impressed and can't wait to go back!! A+ read more

Great Mexican food. The carni asada is very good as is the vegie fajitas. Ate here a couple of times while staying in Brookings and it was consistently good. Everything is reasonably priced as well. read more

Their portions are large and in charge! they are super cheap and delicious. The place is really clean, the service is fast. My family and I go out there a lot, its the go to place for mexican food which we love! The margaritas are jose, serious tequila! They are delicious and refreshing on a hot day! yeah thats right, its okay to day drink. read more

Ate here recently and, while the food is still excellent, the service disappointing. They seemed to be quite understaffed for an evening dinner crowd. Factor in that summer time in Brookings means more visitors and more business, management should be much better prepared to offer good service, rather than reducing staff. Took a long time to get anyone to take our drink orders, even longer for anyone to notice we hadn't had our dinner order taken for almost a half hour, then when we ordered , they mixed up my dinner with someone else's. Hopefully they will address this and have plenty of staff on hand for dinner service. read more

We just enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Pancho's while traveling through Oregon. Plenty of parking in the back. We were greeted immediately, and chips and salsa and water were provided right away. We ordered two crispy tacos with lots of shredded beef, lettuce, cheese and tomatoes. Rice and beans were delicious and everything was very fresh and hot. We lucked out on margaritas as happy hour ends at 7:00pm. So we paid half price for blackberry margaritas that were to die for! We will definitely be back our next time through Brookings! read more

Don't eat here. This place is horrible, didn't give us one of our meals to go and when we found out at hotel the called us liars and ended up charging us for a extra combination. And the food was gross read more

I love this place. Great servers are always fun and friendly, the food is second to none, the margaritas are made just right, and .it's very clean and has an old time homey feel to the place. I sometimes call in a take out order and you just pull up to the take out window and don't even have to leave your vehicle. That's nice when it's raining like heck. read more

Seated fairly fast. Hot food, a bit bland - 2 of our group thought it was the best, 2 thought it was ok. We will return. Prices are good, nice people too. read more

The best veggie burrito I've ever had; I requested mole sauce. My spouse had a #10 chile relleno; she said it was the first one she'd ever had that was NOT greasy. read more

As new residents to Brookings we have eaten out here more than anyplace in town! Nice atmosphere! Clean with Wonderful service! Quality food and very affordable! Someone else posted here that this may not be the BEST AUTHENTIC Mexican food EVER = true, But it is our favorite place in Brookings =for sure! We will be there more than a few times EVERY month read more

We ate here during our over-nighter in Brookings.The service was great, the food hot and tasty and the atmosphere warm and inviting. The strawberry margarita hit the spot. It was the perfect place to wind down after a long day of driving. We'll definitely be back on our next trip through Brookings. read more

This is really good Mexican food, probably Great when you remember where we are! Everything was tasty, the service excellent, and the margaritas delicious! read more

We're from out of town and really in the mood for Mexican. Wow! This was the best from start to finish. Service was excellent, cheese enchilada and beef tacos my husband said were great. I had a shrimp enchilada and it was the best! Cadillac margarita topped it off and was out of this world. We have pretty high standards when it comes to Mexican food and we weren't disappointed! read more

What a pleasant surprise to find such good Mexican food in Brookings! The inside of the restaurant is quite colorful and attractive albeit quite noisy and our waitress Yolanda was efficient and timely. The chips were warm and the salsa tasty and mild, I would have like it a bit hotter. When our chips and salsa got low they immediately replenished it. We had a 1/2 carafe of wine, $8, the Fish Burrito $11.75, smothered in a creamy sauce and loaded with pieces of snapper, extremely tastfull and rich in fresh fish and spices flavor. Also had the Seafood Combo $12.95, a bowl of a rich hot and sour tasting fish broth filled with large shrimp, pieces of snapper, scallops and peppers, wonderful medium hot flavor and when I added some lime juice, it was over the top! I will return for sure, great and very tastefull meal. read more

The chips and salsa and guacamole were fantastic. Also had the wild snapper which came with rice and beans and it was meh. The carne asada was bland. The server was very nice, however. Overall, we started off very strong with some good appetizers but then the main entrées were not so good. Would come back again just for the appetizers. read more

The best food in Brookings. A great staff and very reasonably priced. Awsome food!!! We drive two and a half hours to get to Brookings for an ocean day trip but it's all worth it to finish off the day eating at Panchos. read more

Pancho's was recommended by the B&B where we stayed. I shared a single fajita's order with my wife and we both had plenty of food, and it was fantastic. Waiter was very nice also. We really liked the salsa and ended up purchasing a few jars to take home with us, at $2.75 a jar it is certainly a bargain. read more

A few years ago my rating would have been a 4 or a 5 but they have gone a bit down hill. The chips and salsa are fantastic. In fact, I buy there salsa (they sell by the jar) for home. It is cheap and much better than anything store bought. I used to love their cheese enchiladas but they just have not been the same. Their refried beans are fantastic and many of their foods are good..........just not "out of this world". I highly recommend the margaritas. The blackberry is to die for. It is the best sit down mexican restaraount in town. read more

Very clean. Friendly fast service. Good menu. But the food is BLAND. You'll be hard pressed to find a jalapeño or sauces made with ground chiles. I had the shredded beef burrito and my wife had the veggie burrito. We even asked to have them spicy but not much flavor. This was our second stop here with the same opinion. Not really bad just not satisfying if you want authentic Mexican food. read more

This place has great Mexican food, drinks and atmosphere. Enjoyed the homemade guacamole.

This place is absolutely amazing! The margaritas are delicious the food wasn't bad either prices were even better!!! The staff is also so very friendly! I would definitely come back and recommend this place!!!!! read more

One of my favorites in town! Food is ultra flavorful. You truly get a lot of food for your money. Be prepared for leftovers. Favorites: Prawns Tequila, Mexican chicken soup. So far in my book....the best Mexican dining in town! read more

been waiting here for an hour with my family for our food I'm very poor customer service

Great Fish tacos made with Red Snapper. Prices are very reasonable and service was EXCELLANT. Fish Taco dinner with rice and beans for $9.95. read more

what a gem in this little town of brookings! we spent 7 days in town and had to eat out a couple times/day, and ate here twice. then we ran out of time. wait staff superfriendly and attentive with the refills. the mini tostada with chicken was absolutely scrumptious. the mini tostada with pork, was good, the pork a bit dry. but still so good. hubby's tacos and enchiladas were excellent. he has never raved over enchiladas and tacos and rice and beans like he did here. wow. when we go back, our first stop will be at pancho's!! read more

I was in town to see my grandparents who live in town and the first night I got there we went to Pancho's. It was pretty good! I loved the rice, chicken tacos, chips are amazing, and they are very nice! I ended up going again (my Papa likes this place a lot hehe) and I had the same thing! Good combos, not pricey and I liked the atmosphere. Now, is this the best and authentic Mexican food ever? No, but it is the best bet for good food and good people! Oh and they do accommodate large groups and check on your table quite often which is nice! Go here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! :D read more

Great food! Two of us had pancho's snapper. Grilled just perfect. Two had chicken and steak fajitas. They loved them. Guacamole was great. Strawberry margarita was very flavorful read more

Came up from Crescent City to do some shopping in Oregon for the day stopped by for a bite to eat with my boyfriend. I had the El pastor and he had the Carne Asada both were very tasty. I also had a Margarita which was made very well. I will most definitely go back when in the area. Great service, good food and amazing drinks. read more

When we first moved here from Las Vegas, we tried evey Mexican the town had to offer, most were 'acceptable' one was totally disgusting & has now closed but, the pearl in the oyster was & still is Pancho's. Very clean, the staff always are dressed smartly & cleanly, very friendly service even when hectic lunchtime rush in full swing. The green pork salad, although not really mexican is really rather good, ask for it in a Tortilla Bowl with Mexican Ranch. read more

Great, consistent food and service. Super friendly and attentive food servers. Great margaritas.

Really enjoy Panchos and eat here when I'm craving authentic Mexican food. Service is fast and friendly. Cute atmosphere. Alcoholic beverages are on the weak side so order a beer instead. read more

Best Mexican food and the best service. So fast and consistent. I would know because I eat here a couple times a week.

We love Pancho's!! We have family in Brookings and come up a couple of times a year. Pancho's is very consistent, good pricing, excellent food. We went to eat there a couple of times while we in town. The first time we shared the fish enchiladas, first time I have ever had a fish enchilada. It was so yummy! it had a green salsa and excellent fish. 2nd time we shared a quesadilla, very good. I mention we shared because the portions are large! if you go in the afternoon after 3pm the margaritas are half off, such a great deal! Enjoy read more

Service was good. Chips and salsa was excellent. Food tasted fresh and served hot. Prices reasonable for the amount of food you are served. read more

food is good, the server ( sandy) made a nice night. The bartender Mykila?) dose not know how to make a simple margarita.

Came highly recommended and it did NOT disappoint! Service was excellent, portions were generous, margaritas on rock perfect - not too strong and not too sweet! Plenty of parking and clean, nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to others. read more
