What a tourist trap… 20 Euros for half not fresh tacos… Who cuts nachos tortillas in half? Are you serious? How to save save 1 cent and loose your clients… This should be your new slogan! I will spread the word as much as I can! 20 euros for a chicken burrito without chicken… The waiters had no clue what they were doing. The food took ages, and went all over the restaurant until they could find our table. Definitely a no go!

Good if you want to see but not taste Mexico. Nice location, very colorful and large on 2 floors restaurant. Lots of attention to make it look like a typical Mexican restaurant. Staff nice and friendly. But the food hasn't seen Mexico. Simple food, not spicy at all. Hot souce not even offered. Salad too simple, half a slice of tomato, green salad and 3 beans with mayo on top.

I am in no way a picky or posh eater but the beef in the tacos and the chicken was in no way fresh. Either the restaurant used to be amazing hence the reviews on here and declined or something else is up. Wouldn't recommend this place at all.

Always nice to be here. Very delicious food really heerlijk, and the staff are friendly and they come to you with smile. We ordered fajitas and burritos, it’s really delicious, very nice, we are very happy, let me say “as always”! The music here is great however it’s always crowded!

What a place! I love this vibe. Everything is in mexican style - so colorful 🦋✨ Food - the best nachos I ate in Zaandam. Tasty coctails also. Good prices.

Really nice Mexican food. Good cocktails. Worth a visit if you’re around 🌯🌮🫔

Great place to have a drink and get some dinner. Great Mexican food.

Really great vibe and friendly service. Well decorated! The vegetarian fajitas were delicious.

Great food and service! Yesterday night we had dinner. We ordered fajitas, margaritas and pancakes as desert. They were delicious. Although the place was full, we received a pretty fast service. Our waitress was very professional. We had a wonderfully time!

Pretty decent food for the price and friendly staff. Told us the tuna was fresh which is wasn’t but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and hope it was the language barrier.

If you wanna taste Mexican food - go to Pancho’s Cantina in Zaandam! Clean ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Friendly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fast ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tasty ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you enter the restaurant it feels like you are on vacation. I love how much thought and care they put into the decorations. Food was phenomenal - quite some options for Vegans too! Price - super affordable, I was surprised how cheap it is. Service - they were busy, like I mean - they were actually busy but managed still to give a great service! All of them were super friendly even though they had a lot of stress. Toilet was clean even with so many people there. (That’s not normal, unfortunately)

(Translated by Google) Good stuff (Original) Goed spul

(Translated by Google) Panchos is back! And now with 🌱VEGAN🌱 dishes on the menu !! How beautiful the new restaurant has become. The atmosphere is good again as usual. The food is delicious and made with care. You will not go home hungry, because the portions are good! The staff are friendly and capable and the cocktails .... Delicious! Great restaurant to spend a pleasant evening with your friends. All in all, a winner! (Original) Pancho’s is back! En nu met 🌱VEGAN🌱 gerechten op de kaart!! Wat is het nieuwe restaurant prachtig geworden. De sfeer zit er weer zoals vanouds goed in. Het eten is heerlijk en met aandacht gemaakt. Je gaat niet met honger naar huis, want de porties zijn goed! Het personeel is vriendelijk en capabel en de cocktails.... Heerlijk! Geweldig restaurant om met je vrienden een gezellige avond te beleven. Al met al een topper!

(Translated by Google) The food as usual: delicious. Furthermore: lax Covid-19 policy, staff friendly but not very hygienic, had to wait a long time for the food (starter over an hour, main course over an hour and a half) and we were often asked if we wanted a drink, 7 times. My tip: definitely go after Covid-19 has left the country. (Original) Het eten als vanouds: lekker. Verder: laks Covid-19 beleid, personeel vriendelijk maar niet erg hygiënisch, lang op het eten moeten wachten (voorgerecht ruim een uur, hoofdgerecht ruim anderhalf uur) en er is wel vaak gevraagd of we iets wilden drinken, welgeteld 7 keer. Mijn tip: zeker gaan maar nadat Covid-19 het land heeft verlaten.

(Translated by Google) Delicious food and fun on top (Original) Heerlijk gegeten en gezelligheid op en top

The place is nice, exotic to the Dutch I assume, warm, and cozy. The service was great and the food was pretty good. However, I'm not sure if it is because it is one of the few restaurants open in the area or it is something different, the restaurant was fairly expensive for Mexican food. A Strawberry Daquiri was more than 13 euros, and the meals themselves came with rice and salad and started at 17 euros, which was 2 tacos. If you're used to mexican food, especially stateside, you will find this restaurant expensive. However, if you can bypass the price on it, I would recommend this place.

Great place. Good if not great food and super atmosphere

(Translated by Google) Spareribs were delicious, everything on time and nice and warm. Top! (Original) Spareribs waren heerlijk, alles mooi op tijd en lekker warm. Top!

Had a lovely meal here. Even though they were really busy they went out their way to accommodate us. Service was super fast and friendly. Hat off to all the staff. The atmosphere was amazing. Great decor too. The food was delicious. Unfortunately forgot to take photos. Thank you for a lovely evening

We had guacamole to start, i loved the guac and the amount and the chips felt fresh. The vegetarian fajita I really loved the taste, only thing that could be improved would be it was drenched in oil. The soup of the day (tortilla soup) this was really bad, it was a soup-like salsa with some tortillas in them. And the meat mix was good. And finally we had the virgin mojito, it was good! The staff was also very nice. All in all, would recommend however there are points for improvement.

Im really very disappointed. The food was so average! A salad is just a few vegetables tossed into a bowl with some tasteless sauce. Enchilada without spices. Quesadilla also nothing special. Rice just served with a few corn, tasteless. The service was there- just- they showed no interest in customers. The only plus is the decor of the restaurant. I will never back there.

Nice mexican restaurant. Good food - typical prices. Tables in- and outside. For a place outside, it's good to have a reservation (especially in the holiday seasion). Service was quite good and only 20 minutes to wait for our food.

Ordered Enchilada with stewed beef, taste was not up to expectation. Rice was also bit hard and dry. Hopefully they’ll improve the taste.

Nice atmosphere but we expected Mexican kitchen not Dutch way if Mexican

Great Mexican restaurant! great food (especially churro!!that was the best churro I ever had, crispy outside, soft inside)and very very nice service! We sat outside which the view is the best for an early dinner 🫶🏿

Loved the interiors,the vibes,the colors,the smell makes you want to devour all the food there. Ordered churros,it’s too delicious but the portion is so small. Also the staff aren’t welcoming at all.

Colourful interior. Friendly and helpful staff. The strawberry daiquiris are fabulous and the nachos were delicious. The portion sizes are almost too generous so we should have stopped at the starters really and had another drink or two.The food itself was not great. The rice was dry and tasteless and the chicken and tuna were not particularly fresh. Overall, this place is neither good nor bad nor ugly but needs more wow from the kitchen.

The food was delicious and the place was very cozy! The service was also great! Everyone was kind and receptive! 😊 I really recommend it!

Delicious food! Will definitely be coming back next time we visit Zaandam!

On a Friday night 6 of us were lucky to get a table, it was very busy and buzzing. Good atmosphere. Despite it being busy the food came really quickly, was very tasty and large portions.

(Translated by Google) The food is good, but the delivery is a bit less. Many things are caked to the trays, so that's a shame. (Original) Het eten is goed, maar de bezorging is wat minder. Veel dingen zitten aangekoekt aan de bakjes dus dat is jammer.

(Translated by Google) I worked there back in 2003-2004 while I was still living out there, great owners, very welcoming and amazing food! 16 years later and I still remember it all like yesterday!

For a quick bite it’s good. Serving staff is polite as we did not speak the language. If you are in need of Mexican I would say go there.

Good mexican food and awesome drinks

This was good food. I am from Texas and live in France. Due to this, Mexican food is one of my favorites and I am far deprived of the food I once ate daily. This was a surprise that caused us to pull off to the side and give it a try. We enjoyed it and they were really kind staff. They have been there for 26 years and opened the restaurant after visiting Texas and Mexico. It was a treat. Thanks for the offerings and keep it up!

Great place to eat Lovely people, good service and reasonable prices

Good food, service and friendly staff, reasonably priced menu

Xmas night and I got here without reservation with my kid! They were full but they found a special table for us. Food is good. People is friendly.

Very nice cosy place. Although they don't say it on the menu but they easily created for me a great vegan meal. Super flexible team and great food!

Really nice personel,teasty food and beautiful decor :)

A little taste of Mexico right in the city centre of Zaandam! Located on the best place of the city you can find Panchos Cantina. The food was delicious, seriously very tasty. From burritos, enchiladas till nacho's, taco's and different kind of meat/fish dishes. A wide choice of very tasteful food in a nice atmosphere. Great service. We got checked if we were or right several times, got great recommendations food wise and loved the inside of the restaurant as much as the good looking, comfortable outside of the restaurant where you can sit on the terras and have some coffee or cocktails. I definitely come back here and would recommend it for everyone.

(Translated by Google) Good that Pancho's is back! The food is still delicious and the new restaurant is attractive and cozy. Hopefully the paving of the terrace will be adjusted because the tables and chairs against the facade are very skewed, which is just not comfortable. Unfortunately, the service did not go completely smoothly, we had to wait an hour for the starter while we were constantly asked if everything was okay, and so we indicated this. After a while the cutlery was cleared and asked if we wanted to order something else 😂 when after almost an hour we were asked if we had had anything it finally came. Unfortunately, it went exactly the same with the main course. Probably there are some start-up problems, it will probably be fine 👍 luckily the dishes were absolutely great !! (Original) Goed dat Pancho's weer terug is! Het eten is nog steeds heerlijk en het nieuwe restaurant is sfeervol en gezellig. De bestrating van het terras wordt hopelijk nog wel aangepast want de tafels en stoelen tegen de gevel staan erg scheef wat gewoon niet lekker zit. Helaas liep het met de bediening nog niet helemaal soepel, we hebben een uur moeten wachten op het voorgerecht terwijl er constant werd gevraagd of alles naar wens was, en wij dit dus hebben aangegeven. Na een tijdje werd het bestek opgeruimd en gevraagd of we nog wat wilde bestellen 😂 toen na bijna een uur ons werd gevraagd of we al wat hadden gehad kwam het uiteindelijk. Met het hoofdgerecht ging het helaas weer precies hetzelfde. Waarschijnlijk zijn het wat opstart problemen, komt vast wel goed 👍 gelukkig waren de gerechten helemaal top !!

Noisy... Cramped.... TOTALY NOT Adhering to the Covid 1.5 distance regulations. Tables were SO close together ... A Horrible Experience to be in there... Though staff are warm & friendly....

(Translated by Google) Very nicely decorated so attractive, we were on the first floor and we could sit how we indicated it so customer is really king. Very nice staff that caught my eye and the food was delicious, the Spareribs just slid off the bone, definitely recommended. (Original) Heel leuk ingericht dus sfeervol, we zaten eerste verdieping en we konden zitten hoe we het hadden aangegeven dus klant is daar echt koning. Heel aardig personeel dat viel me zo op en het eten was heerlijk de Spareribs gleed gewoon van het bot, zeker een aanrader.

(Translated by Google) Food was delicious, we came here especially because there were vegan dishes on the menu, and someone from my party was completely vegan. This also indicated at the operation. However, it all went wrong with the main course. As a result, the dishes were vegetarian and not vegan. Very sloppy for a company that has vegan dishes on the menu. I don't know whether the error was in the operation or kitchen, but this is a serious point for improvement. (Original) Eten was heerlijk, we kwamen hier speciaal heen omdat er veganistische gerechten op de kaart stonden, en iemand uit mijn gezelschap was volledig veganistisch. Dit ook aangegeven bij de bediening. Echter ging het zowel bij het voor al bij het hoofdgerecht mis. Hierdoor waren de gerechten vegetarisch en niet veganistisch. Erg slordig voor een bedrijf dat vegan gerechten op de kaart heeft staan. Of de fout bij de bediening of keuken lag weet ik niet, maar dit is wel een serieus verbeterpunt.

(Translated by Google) Nice staff and great food (Original) Leuk personeel en heerlijk eten

(Translated by Google) The food was very good, the service could have been better. Took a long time for order to be taken and they forgot my drink. It may have been due to the newly introduced corona rules. (Original) Het eten was zeer goed, alleen de bediening had beter gekund. Duurde lang voor bestelling werd opgenomen en mijn drankje waren ze vergeten. Mogelijk kwam het door de net weer ingevoerde corona regels.
