Pachanga - Girls enjoying fab Mexican food

Pachanga

(3 reviews)

As we are visiting from outside the area we arrived at 6pm on Friday evening and hadn't booked…read more Received a luke warm welcome from the foh manager and showed to a table by the front door. It seemed we were really a nuisance to them! Drinks were sent back as at £8.95 for a cocktail i expected something very much better, no ice, luke warm and little flavour despite pre- ordering spicy! Replacement brought with a huff! Plates for starters were dirty, olives fermenting and wings just ok. Mains were better but lettuce, cheese and add ons for fajitas arrived well before the food and got warm and were small and uninteresting. Mains were ok but the bill was extortionate for the quality. Wouldn't go back far better restaurants in town with much better front of house service.

In a town that has a dearth of good dining options I am so glad this Mexican restaurant is now on…read morethe scene. Pachangas offers truly authentic Mexican cuisine with imaginative recipes and great ingredients. A long fully loaded cocktail bar offers a large range of large and strong cocktails all made by hand to order. Kali the barman was great and clearly had a passion for what he was doing. Carlos the owner has been in the trade for several decades and his latest offering is a must try. If you like real Mexican food you will love this. I have lived and travelled extensively in Central America and this is as good as you will find in the UK. The restaurant although rather dull from the outside is wonderfully bright using some vibrant Mexican colours for the decor. Great up tempo music and clever lighting make a great ambience. Ely from South America served us and she was very smiley efficient and helpful. We ordered the Calamari to start which was tender and superbly presented. The pulled pork main was a highlight. A table next to us order the ribs and a huge rib-steak so there are a few dishes for those who don't want to do the full Mexican thing. A must is the fried planton as a side. If you want even hotter spicy food + ask Carlos he can really ramp it up or alternatively tone it down if you are the boiled cabbage variety. A nice touch they use corn flour rather than wheat flour so much of the menu is GF. For smokers there is an outside dining area. There is also ample public parking right behind the restaurant. Book at weekends as it is usually full! In summary vibrant, authentic, owner driven with a South American chef team, prices reflect quality of produce and authenticity of recipes.
