Pancho’s Mexican Restaurant

Pancho’s Mexican Restaurant is a bustling, popular gathering spot in the heart of Downtown Summerlin, and it’s easy to see why. Always busy, especially during peak hours, Pancho’s offers a lively and welcoming atmosphere that draws in locals and visitors alike. The restaurant has a small outdoor patio, but the real action is inside at the large bar area, which includes plenty of tables for seating. However, you’ll want to arrive early—this place fills up fast.

While there’s a fine dining area in the back, the bar area is where you’ll want to be for happy hour. The energy here is upbeat, with patrons enjoying good food, great drinks, and plenty of TV screens to watch sports. During my visit, I ordered the Spicy Jalapeño Margarita, and it was excellent. If you’re into spicy drinks, this one delivers a serious kick with just the right amount of heat. It’s the kind of margarita that leaves a lasting impression with its bold, fiery flavor.

For food, I tried the Botanas Especiales Combination Platter, which was a generous portion that could easily feed two people. At just $16, it felt like a steal for the amount and quality of food you get. The platter was filled with tasty appetizers, perfect for sharing or enjoying solo. Though not on the happy hour menu, I couldn’t resist trying their Don Julio shots, which were priced at just $7 each, another great deal for fans of quality tequila.

The chips and salsa were fresh, with the salsa offering a nice level of spiciness that complemented the margarita well. Pancho’s also has big-screen TVs scattered throughout the bar area, making it an ideal spot for catching a game while enjoying some drinks and snacks.

If you’re a tequila fan, Sunday nights at Pancho’s are a must-visit, as they offer 50% off any tequila from 3 PM until close. Pair that with Sunday Night Football, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a fun evening out.

Overall, Pancho’s offers a lively, vibrant experience with a menu full of great deals, delicious food, and drinks that are sure to satisfy. Whether you’re coming in for happy hour or to watch the game, Pancho’s is a fantastic spot to gather with friends and enjoy the energy of Downtown Summerlin.
