We went to a late sitting on a Friday. It was moderately busy but we booked ahead and were seated immediately. Staff were polite, engaged and accommodating. A small but well developed menu with plenty of options for vegetarians. The sides were delicious and plentiful. The tequila cocktails are amazing. I would highly recommend the churro dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant if you make a visit to Hobart.
Need to bring back lunch to the courtyard, was always a good reasonably priced feed with a good atmosphere and friendly staff, I need to visit for dinner and check out the inside setup
What a find! We stumbled across this gorgeous restaurant, with such a lovely interior which is quite moody, modern and romantic. The food is delicious, the quesadilla was particularly good! Highly recommend this place.
Great atmosphere and awesome food! I loved the cauliflower tacos and the fish tacos! Service was friendly. Better than Mamasita, Pacos Tacos and Hotel Jesus in Melbourne!

I'd have rated this place three stars if it wasn't for the service, which was extremely warm and friendly. I was greeted at the front like a long-lost friend, despite never having been. I was seated at the bar promptly, and my wine order taken quickly thereafter. Food recommendations came easily, and I had a great chat to one of the bar staff about his favourite picks. I ended up going with the tofu paella, which turned out to be quite a disappointment. It had frozen peas (the worst) that were hard and lifeless. It was way too salty, though the tofu was nice and provided a decent crunchy texture. The chips that I ordered after the paella were okay. Some overseasoned, some with no seasoning at all. They were extremely oily. The space itself is stunning, and there were plenty of people there to add a fun and convivial atmosphere. Not a bad option, but the food game needs to be lifted.
We took the kids along to Pancho.. as we felt like some good Mexican, we were not let down!!
Great environment, much was said in the family conversations as to how everyone was feeling due to the decor, Fit out and up tempo tunes!
Service couldn’t fault it!
Kids had Guatemala and corn chips, two serves, it was very tangy, real good!
Then the kids followed this with two serves of the beef nachos, they smashed these and apparently they were on par with Mum’s, so that is the highest accolade one can receive!
Lis had the duck, some unusual flavors but she really enjoyed it and it went really well with her Tempranillo
I had the Lamb ribs, the dish of the night, crispy skin, no bones melt in your mouth with BBQ sauce
Mmmmmmmm
Two of the Pacifico beers I enjoyed, with a lime, very nice!
Skipped dessert due to $$$$ @ $16 a head x 5 adds up. So we got cold on a rock elsewhere for $30
But would thoroughly recommend, great night out!!
Cheers 🍻
Who knew there would be good Mexican food in Hobart? We had the quesadilla and the chimichanga. Both were quite good, albeit a little drier than what we are used to. The mexican food from our neck of the woods is a little sloppier, with more gooey cheese and more sauce and salsa, and we like it that way.
Service was good and the overall aesthetic and interiors are instagrammable and hip. It was a little dark. Overall we were pleased with the experience.
Great ambiance, great food, great service and brilliant drinks!!! Had a very nice night here with my husband, couldn't complain about anything!
Amazing food and service 👍👏👌 Couldn't fault a thing. The tacos were extremely flavoursome and the trio of dips was brilliant. The chimichanga was outstanding and the dessert to finish off was even better. If in doubt definitely go here and try it out
Food and drinks quite good, great ambience and I really appreciate all the fine details that they have put in. The drinks are very very nice and good share style food.
Very busy location with good vibes! Tequila range was extensive! Food was good, interesting. I’m not sure if it was just the combination of flavours that I didn’t enjoy or the lack of this night, but will give it another go!
Night #2,
Visited for taco Tuesday and food was tasty 👌🏼 the vego tacos were by far more flavourful, and even for dessert!
I have been their previously and the food and service both times were exceptional. There is a really great Mexican atmosphere and the decor makes you feel like you are in a church. Lighting was dim and cozy and there was also a Voodoo bar attached to the restaurant via a secret bookshelf door.
Great atmosphere, great service and the foods are delicious! The drinks are amazing, we had a different range of cocktails – loved it all, it’s so tasty. We had a really great time and enjoyed a lot!! ❤
Where to start?
This place was amazing and definitely served some of the best Mexican food while we were here in Hobart! The flank steak was grilled to mouth watering perfection, and the fried chicken tacos and chorizo potatoes were incredible.
We loved the Gothic atmosphere with the pressed metal lanterns and stained glass windows, and the Voodoo Lounge behind the secret bookcase was a nice little surprise at the end of the night. Highly recommended!
Delicious meal. Recommend the fried chicken tacos. The cauliflower is tasty but the serving size could be improved. Attentive and lovely staff. Terrific atmosphere and the tunes were fantastic. Great for a date.
First time at Pancho Villa and I have literally no complaints.
Was approached at reasonable times for drinks and food orders. Food came out in a good amount of time. We ordered the shared taco plate between 4 adults and didn't finish everything but it was amazing.
We ordered several different cocktails and all were very nice with great presentation. Towards the end of the night we were gifted free shots of caramel infused tequila for being such a "delightful table to serve", it just really tied the whole experience together. (disclaimer dont expect these free shots as part of your experience, it was pretty obvious our table had been given this treat due to good manners and active listening when the waiters came over, you're not entitled to this, it was a thank you from the restaurant).
I didn't get the chance to check out the toilet but if its anything like the rest of the place I'm sure they'll be fine. Entrance was a ramp and there was plenty of space between tables so pretty wheelchair friendly, was $$$ but in this case you pay for what you get and in my opinion it was totally worth it.
Pretty sure I had an outer body experience here. The food and cocktails were absolutely superb. Our waiter, who was a young guy, was just lovely too. An absolute bucket list item for a visit to Hobart.
Great location with a really incredible fit out!
Fantastic food- fresh and appropriate serving sizes.
