While this place is a favorite amongst foreigners living in Japan as the food is good, the price decent and the atmosphere rocks, the staff can be quite rude when it comes to paying. They demand that the payment for everyone would be given together instead of each person paying for their meals separately as is often welcome everywhere else... More

Saw the reviews and thought it would be great to check it out, but ended up leaving hungry, and costs were a bit high for such a small portion, the guy singing with his guitar isn't even Mexican, he's just a white guy singing American music.

Went here last month, they made 3 of us sit at a table that was barely big enough for 2 people. The food portion size was a joke, like a tiny spot of food on a plate, only 3 tortilla chips in the so called tortilla chip basket on the table with some horrible stuff that was supposed to be... More

The only downside is that becaue of its location, it's on the expensive side... More

I first discovered El Pancho in 2004 and have been visiting ever since, and I have made a dozen visits so far. Never have I been disappointed with food or service. This was my first visit in many years and I'm glad to see not a thing has changed, even right down to the great (and long) happy hour. You... More
