Walking down Calle Loiza and we popped into Panucho's for dinner. We split the largest bowl of ceviche I've ever had as an appetizer. Very tasty. Then followed it with an order of shredded lamb tacos. Great food. Great service. Huge portions. We simply could not eat the third taco. Service was very good -- as it has been almost everywhere we've eaten in PR. Seriously. read more

The tacos are surprisingly good and on point. Grilled Grouper (Mero) with Cole slaw, crema Mexicana and their in house smoky chipotle salsa hit the spot - at $13.99 even better washed down with an ice cold Medalla Light ($4). I would come back to try the salmon tacos next time..... Friendly and attentive bilingual (Eng/Spanish) service. read more

Panucho's - Grilled Grouper Tacos, flour tortillas with all of the fixings - Mexican Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Visited this restaurant twice during our visit to Puerto Rico. Lovely drinks, and food options for all. The server were friendly and very helpful with menu suggestion and accommodating with customizing vegetarian meals for us. The first time we got an order of elote and quesadilla. Both were extremely good however the quesadilla was a little spicy and we had to scoop out the jalapenos. The second time, we ordered the same plus an additional order of nachos. We didn't realize until the food arrived that both the nachos and quesadilla had plantains and this time we had to dig and leave out the plantains. But again, no complaints. The overall vibe and food satisfied our souls so we would definitely be back wherever we are in PR. read more

Our waiter was really nice and attentive. My friends and I only got drinks and appetizers but both were delicious! The guac is more on the zesty/ lime side but still good nonetheless. Would definitely come back to try their food next time! read more

Panucho's is one in a long line of restaurants I love for doing food well. You won't have the best meal of your life here, and if you're looking for that from a fast casual restaurant please check your ego at the door. What this restaurant does best is provide good service, good food and good prices that end up being a 'good' experience. Will visit again if I'm in the area. read more

Food was delicious. Elotes came on the cob & were with Parmesan which is very different than the kind I've had in the states but worked very well. Pastor tacos were a very good recommendation. Mainly impressed with the corn tortilla- softer than anything with corn in the states. Diana was a great bartender with amazing recommendations for margaritas. She made us feel at home. She was very transparent about which margaritas were made from scratch (the juices/syrups) & which ones were bought. She let me try the flavors before getting the margaritas which is going above and beyond for me as a cocktail instructor back home. Cooking time was slow so don't come for a quick bite but we are vacation which a lot of people seemed to be as well. Great experience overall. Place is decorated in a fun Mexican pop art style. Pleased with the great service we received on vacation! read more

Do yourself a favor and order the pastor burrito it is not your average! Super good thanks for lunch

Horrible service! We ordered guacamole and chips and ceviche and plantain chips - took an hour for those appetizers- than they forgot our fish taco - we didn't want to wait another hour so we left. Very disappointing, wasted our vacation time .. don't recommend this place. read more

Wander over here cause it was a restaurant that was open at 9pm night and it was the closest one to us walking distance wise. We came up to the door and their was a bouncer at the door to greet us and asked us if we were staying or going. We decided to stay and have drinks and take food to go. We order 3 quesadillas, 1 burrito and their tuna poke special. The inside has music bumping and people chatting away. It wasn't as busy until after we were there 15 mins then it got really busy. The only thing that was disappointing about last night was it took an hour for our food to come out. But the piña coladas were so tasty here. So were definitely coming back for those again. read more

Fabulous food and service!!! Got steak fajitas they were awesome. The bottled hot sauces were amazing and for desert we got the deep fried cheesecake. You wont be disappointed read more

The salmon tacos were great! Good portion size and even better flavor. Very good value for the price.

Staff was very friendly but the food was kind of gross/weird unfortunately. We got the pork tacos but maybe the quesadillas are better.

Tacos were phenomenal. Good sized portions. Service was great, host was able to accommodate food allergies. Seems that the regularly run deals on drinks/food through the week. Would definitely visit again next trip. read more

Wanted to give them a good review but I can't. I ordered nachos with CHICKEN to go and they said it would take 30 mins. I thought was a little long but I was hungry so I sat at the bar. It finally came and it looked great when I got to my room and opened it. And then I realized THEY GAVE ME PORK. Unfortunately the place was now closed so I couldn't even go back. So essentially $19 and 30 mins of my vacation wasted. Please PAY ATTENTION. I don't eat pork at all and I could've gotten sick had I not noticed. read more

Cute place and Great service, margaritas happy hour tuesdays with $5 excellent margaritas , my favorite is cucumber, and fish ceviche a must!!! Service in the bar with Diana bartender amazing!!! One of my favorite spot in PR. read more

This place has the best daily specials! We came on a Wednesday and the waitress told us they had $10.95 fajitas (chicken, steak, fried fish, or veggie) & $5 margs! We got spicy cucumber margs, a watermelon marg, & a coconut marg all at just $5 each - and they were great! The fajitas were delicious with all the extra toppings they came with and were super filling (you can make 4 large tacos). I did wish the fajitas came with more veggies, but for 10.95 they were amazing! Make sure to use there hot sauces at the table, they are delicious read more

I was staying nearby and looking for dinner and chose here even though a local said I could do better. I ordered chicken fajitas with corn tortillas. It was ok but not anymore than that. It doesn't deserve a 2 score but I should have taken the locals' advice and tried somewhere else. read more

Place was very hip , and very solid with the food! Good Mexican feel with a bit of an overall Spanish twist. portions were decent size food was fresh and I like that they had 2 types of hot sauce already on the table waiting! Also it was easy to order if you dont speak spanish , because the menu has translations on it . Would def recommend going here if you are in the area! read more

We got two orders of the nachos and one rice bowl. The chips in the nachos were too thin and become very soggy with all the toppings. The chicken didn't have any flavor or seasonings. Places to Eat if you enjoy flavor: Tayzan (chinese) Serafina (Italian) Ali Baba (Turkish) Bebo's Cafe (diner type) Finca Cialitos (coffee) Anita's (ice cream) Pinky's (breakfast) read more

For a tex-mex in the Caribbean is good! The food is always great and we never had a bad experience every time we came pre pandemic. My BIG Pregnancy Craving has been 1) Mexican Food & 2) Lemonade I remember the fajitas of this place being really good so we decided to have lunch! It was kinda packed when we arrived, perk there were tables available so we did not have to wait not even a minute! We already knew what we wanted to order so it as soon as our server came, we order drinks (2 waters & Hibiscus juice for me). My juice took a slight while to arrive and when it arrived we did only asked for recommendation of appetizers. We had already ordered the chicken & steak fajitas, noted that we cannot consume lactose so to change the cheese & source cream (which they did for more guac & beans at no extra charge). The server KNOWING we cannot consume lactose recommended the corn (elote). Soooo the Elotes arrived and it is full of cheese and cream after that our server never came back.. I had to call someone else to please change the plate because we told our server we cannot consume lactose. They brought the elotes with lemon & very little Tajín... we were charged $7 for 1 friking corn cut in half... Sorry, but you can purchase the whole bag at costco for this price... After that, the rest of the food came and it was good, but our server NEVER came to bring water or anything.. Someone else ended up bringing all of our food, taking empty plates, bring the tap & charging us for the food. Our initial server waited other tables and ignored ours, after that I saw her in the bar using her phone. Hey, if you're going on a break or something please let the people you are serving aware. Food was great and I do recommend this place, but if your server sucks ask for another one or say something to the manager. read more

Parking can be found in front during off-hours. We had to park about a block or more away. Service was friendly and prompt. Decor is kind of hipster Mexican... if that's a thing. Pricing is a bit high for the amount of food but it's been good each time. They also have some cheap $5 margaritas during certain hours. This is the second time we've been here. First time was great. This time was great. On this visit we ordered the Torta con Cochinita Pibil (Pork Sandwich) and the special, an enchilada plate called Enchiladas Gratinadas Entomatadas. Both were delicious. The sandwich bread was soft but firm and the filling was tasty. The fries it came with were also good. The enchiladas were good. The Mexican rice and beans here are unique in their flavors from the usual Mexican style rice and beans that I am used to. But they were delicious and satisfying. I think this place is pretty good overall. Both times we've been here, we've had a good experience. The service is friendly and prompt but perhaps inattentive at times. The quality of food is good but the pricing feels high for the amount. So I feel this place is a solid 4 stars. I certainly recommend it. read more

Walked in in a hot afternoon with my service dog, immediately told that dogs were not allowed, showed the id, and then told that dog could not eat nor drink from the table. Food, I totally agree, but when I questioned about denying the dog water, the said those were the rules. That's inhumane, told them so and walked away. Do not patronize a place where a dog would be denied water on a hot afternoon! read more

We have loved our food experiences on the island. But couldn't deny that we were missing some Mexican food. Holy crap. The chicken torta that we had was OUTSTANDING. We frequent the Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago. This absolutely buries any other weve had there. The bread... oh man... it tasted super fresh and was perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. We also had nachos with no meat...super good. read more

Awesome food, awesome vibe. The staff were super sweet and accommodated our party of 10 without a reservation. Definitely worth a visit in Puerto Rico :-) read more

Did not expect this place to be amazing It was our forth choice after full restaurants and things being close we ended up here because we were in the neighborhood. I was stunned! The staff is so incredibly nice and the food was outstanding Never heard of a cucumber margarita!?!?! Loved it. Thanks guys you were awesome! read more

FOOD: The Mexican cuisine here is delicious. We got taco platters, which were ginormous and satisfying. The margaritas were a bit weak, but pretty cheap, so seems fair. EXPERIENCE: The restaurant ambiance is cozy and lively. There's a good amount of energy inside, but we were still able to enjoy a relaxed conversation at our table. The staff were friendly and helpful. VALUE: Prices were fair, especially given the large portion sizes. Expect to pay around $20-$30 including tax and tip if you get an entree and a drink. OVERALL: A great restaurant for a casual meal out with friends. Pay a visit! read more

While i wouldnt consider this authentic Mexican, the food was well portioned and delicious. Nachos were loaded and piping hot with freshly melted cheese (not that yucky Velveeta-type). Churrasco arrachera was super tender and my mexican wife loved the panuchos tostadas. read more

$5 Margaritas all day every day- with tons of flavors to chose from. Except they're pre-mixed and don't taste like there is a drop of tequila in them! We ordered the flautas, chicken tacos, pork with pineapple tacos, and a beef soup. The flautas and the tacos were just ok, not the best or the worst I've ever had. The chicken tacos were STUFFED with chicken. So that was nice. My wife said the soup was delicious. The decor in the place is awesome. Very cute spot for lunch or dinner. read more

I was super hungry coming in from the airport. Panucho's was open on Christmas Eve and I thought a torta sounded delish. The ingredients are high quality and the mix was great. I was not a fan of the bread...kinda mix of torta and baguette. It is also served with fries, which I didn't know. For not being a big fry person, I thought these fries were fantastic. read more

Dinner tonight was spectacular!! we tried the jalapano burger (good luck that thing is massive) and it the best burger in existence. We also tried the steak and chicken fajitas (there was so much food) and they were also amazing. The best part about the evening is that a mariachi band came in and played of songs for us all. The atmosphere was SO fun, busy and loud but in the most fun ways. read more

Wow, so delicious! Our Uber driver, a San Juan native told us this was one of his favorite restaurants. We decided to check it out and it was a crowd pleaser for all. The burritos were flavorful and delicious. The sauces provided add some nice heat. My kids loved the nachos, which were loaded to the brim. Maybe my first nacho experience where there were more toppings than chips, but in my experience, the perfect ratio. I will totally hit this place up again on my next trip to San Juan. read more

The service was bomb.com I ordered the fajitas mixtos (chicken&steak). So much flavor! It was a nice change after PR food every day. Again the staff was attentive, the establishment was VERY clean read more
