"We do not live in the area, had to find a spot to meet family members. Something along the 10 freeway. I plugged in this information and knew my brother loved Mex food, I read the reviews and was sold.
I was a bit nervous after looking at the street view, location isn't everything, but take the drive!!! it's worth it!
We all loved our dishes very much! From the chips and yummy house salsa, to the guacamole made at our table-that was outstanding by the way, to the Suiza sauce, best I've ever had.
Bottom line, make it to this gem! We went for an early supper, so we missed the evening entertainment which I am sure would have wowed us as well. We will be back next time we're in area, amazing!
Thank you to the staff for a great experience:)"

"Booked a week early for Cinco de Mayo brunch. The morning of, I got a call while I was getting ready and didn't answer it. We proceeded to the restaurant where we were told that we didn't have a reservation! Seems that since I didn't contact them to confirm my reservation, we were cancelled! The irony is that there were plenty of tables available, even for those that didin't have reservation.
Ok, so for a party of five that booked a week early, they gave us a booth fit for about three at best- REALLY?? Who does that? The waiter was gracious and quickly removed plates as we did the Mexican hat dance every time someone in our party wanted to get up to the buffet. The saving grace was the champagne and the wonderful food and the great music."

"This was my first time visiting Pancho Villas. We had a party of 20 for my mom's birthday. The ambiance is nice and the food was SUPERB. Our waitress was more than excellent. She was courteous and on top of it (refills, constantly checking to make sure we were okay.) The mariachis were FANTASTIC but a bit too loud. All the kids in our area began crying once they started playing. The price for brunch on the sunday we went was $22/adult (of course prices are always subject to change) but the website has coupons for $4 or $2 depending on when you go. Keep in mind that only champagne is included with brunch and it is endless, other drinks are charged at about $3 and up. Our whole party was very impressed. I do highly Recommend!"

"Food was good, but I have had better at a more reasonable price. The extra cost for non alcoholic drinks such as coffee and a mexican rice drink that I thought would have been included in the brunch price were not included, Although sodas, juice, and champaign were included. No one stated these drinks would be extra ( $1.99 and $4.99 each)."
