    Wanted to try as we've not had Mexican before. I csnt handle really hot food but this was really delicious! They made my main course less spicy for me. Really lovely staff too. Definitely recommend!

    Staff were very friendly, comfy seats and atmosphere was nice. Starter was lovely, we shared nachos and chicken and chorizo starter, these were lovely but spicier than I expected. For main I had the popular chicken and rice dish, again, tasted lovely but I found the portions to be large (would not order a starter in future) and the dish was spicy, both the rice and the chicken dish had large chillies. Sour cream was provided with both courses and the drinks were lovely but overall I would say this was an average meal for a Mexican restaurant.

    We came for the lunch special. The food was delicious. A perfect level of spicing. The chicken in both dishes was succulent. I had a margarita perfectly made. The service was friendly, warm and pitched at the right level-attentive enough without feeling too intrusive or aloof.

    Food was really good. Service was nice. The girls were clearly busy, but friendly and helpful. The only reason for 4 stars is because the Churros did not come as advertised in the menu. It was supposed to come with a "rich dipping", but it just had some sauce (not sure of flavor) poured on it and an ice cream on the side. It did taste lovely, but not what we imagined based on description.

    I had jalapos for the starter, which was crunchy on the the outside and rich inside. Then for mains, I had the tasty and generous portion of Beef Verde burritos with mild spice. The service was 5 stars and the reason why I marked it as 4 stars was because the food was not exceptional for the cost. I would still recommend checking this place out.

    We keep coming back here. The food is great, very tasty. Yes, you have the standards but they are far from ordinary. Good portion sizes leave you satisfied not over faced. The staff were fantastic, attentive not over bearing. Food and drinks service speed was just right, I don't want food thrown at me, but I do want a drink bringing when I ask for one. So many places fail at that, this one doesn't. As the food and service is great, it's popular therefore a super atmosphere with nice decor as well. All adds to the authenticity of the restaurant.

    The food at Nacho Pancho Dundee is superb and tasty, and considerably affordable. The staff are courteous and friendly. Food was served professionally. This restaurant is also close to the Dundee Museum; after Lunch or Supper, you can take a walk and enjoy the seaside and the beautiful environment. Packing here is charged, so ensure you pay your parking ticket to avoid penalty.

    Was here after a busy day at uni with some friends, and before starting a conference. The food was so good. It's definitely one of the best Mexican style restaurants I've been to in a long time. The atmosphere was great, and the service team was lovely. I'm not local to Dundee, but I'll definitely be making a point of coming back 😁

    So walk on at a half 5 sitting shown to table and server was fine however order she never took order for till 5:55. Finished our starters and mains ordered a couple of more drinks. She then took our plates, asked us if there anything else, my partner then tried to get the dessert menu and was then greeted with 'actually we need the table back!'. At no point were we made aware of this. This is shocking service and poor table management. Will no be going back.

    Delicious Mexican food, big portions. The place was busy, but staff were attentive and never felt rushed. We were a party of 6, and most chose different meal options, all were great.

    Had the enchiladas with mole sauce - have never tried mole before and the color does look lighter compared to the ones online but it tasted nice. It was sweet and rich that paired well with the enchiladas. Generous portion size. My friend has the tacos - the shell was soggy when we were served it, but the overall dish was bursting with flavor. Different textures in the dish. The rice (served as a side) however tasted stale. Would love to go back someday to try their weekend brunch menu

    Been here a few times, never disappointed! Food is great, meats were tender for all our meals, and flavours were just perfect.

    We booked a table for our double birthday meal. We was expecting hot& spicy food& atmosphere from "Mexican restaurant ". In reality we both struggle to relax/ chill because it was freezing inside, food on plates looked like someone threw it on, sour cream was warm. Unfortunately, not to our taste. Customer service was spot on. Thanks.

    Came here after a hard days work and it was a superb tonic. Great food. Warm atmosphere and good service. A little noisy but you can't complain about a buzzing restaurant. Great flavours on the food and good price point. One star down for being so slow at paying his suppliers!

    Amazing food, ambience and service! The fajitas were the best I‘ve had in the last decade. The starter was really good as well, it was spicy, but not too spicy. They even ran after me because I forgot my bag! Just all around, great!

    We ate here on the 22nd July. It was really good, food was fresh and really tasty and the staff were lovely. Raspberry Margarita was ace! Overall it was amazing and would highly recommend it.

    Upon arrival, the atmosphere was great and the staff were welcoming and professional, guiding us to our table. It’s fair to say that this is possibly the nicest Mexican restaurant we have visited, the food was extremely tasty and the portion sizes were generous. We were amazed at the price for such high-quality food, being only £24.00 for 3-courses each (we couldn’t handle pudding). We recommended Rancho Pancho to anyone visiting Dundee.

    Absolutely stunning restaurant in Dundee. Very on trend with some wonderful art work and a beautiful look and feel to it. Service is sublime and the food is simply out of this world. I had the steak Tacos which were perfectly cooked to Medium rare as I requested and washed this down with a beautiful Pacifico Clara beer. My wife had Nachos to start followed by a wonderful Salmon and Prawn dish. Thank you to all. Dan and Rachel—visited Sunday 1st April.

    Tasty food. Loaded potato skins were delicious. Hubby said his steak was good. Really lovely staff. We will definitely go back when in Dundee.
