    Worth the drive

    What a gem...a small place in downtown Monroe. You smell the barbecue as you enter. The brisket is wonderful. Get the green beans as your side - they’re fresh and perfectly done. My husband loved the Gran Champion (mikes corned beef, Brie, delicious sauce) so...More

    Very Good Fried Pickles, Waitresses could be a lil bit more cheerful and more personable. Sandwiches need a lil more flavor.

    Worth the wait!

    If you're visiting Pancho and Lefty's on a weekend evening or say Cinco de Mayo, prepare yourself for the possible wait. It's completely worth it! Sunday evening at 6:30pm, a bit later than traditional dinner time...not here, you'll likely find yourself wondering what's with the...More

    Description
    This is as small restaurant that packs people in. It has a small bar and you usually have to wait for a table. You can leave your number and they will call when a table opens up.The food is unbelievable. It's a place where other restaurant owners go to eat.
