Pancho's Restaurant & Tequila Bar

Pancho's Restaurant & Tequila Bar Review

Owner John Bragg has an enormous collection of tequilas, and an encyclopedic knowledge of the stuff. His restaurant is something of a tequila museum, with a colorful array of hundreds of the world's top tequilas—many no longer available—displayed behind the bar. Sample one or two of the nearly 1,000 labels available, and you'll appreciate the rainbow-colored Oaxacan tablecloths, murals, painted chairs, and streamers even more than you did when you first arrived. Hungry, too? Try regional specialties like tortilla soup, chiles rellenos, or chamorro (pork shank in wine sauce). For larger appetites, the Pancho's combo, which includes steak, quesadilla, chile relleno, and a chicken enchildada, is the way to go. Though dinner is pricier, the breakfast and lunch specials are a bargain. Pancho's offers special and private tequila tastings, which will give you a greater appreciation of this piquant liquor from Jalisco.
