Panchito Barcelona Reviews
Panchito – Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Barcelona If you’re craving authentic Mexican food in Barcelona, look no further than Panchito! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The tacos were perfectly seasoned, the guacamole was fresh and creamy, and the enchiladas had just the right amount of spice. The margaritas were also fantastic—refreshing and well-balanced. The service was fast and friendly, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Barcelona, Panchito is a must-visit for anyone who loves great Mexican cuisine. Highly recommended!
The best TexMex that I have tried so far. Amazing experience of Mexican dishes and great service, you have quite a diverse menu, with tacos / burritos / enchiladas and much more. You have both the easy guacamole & nachos or more elaborated ones. The price is mid range but the quality and service makes it totally worth it. Highly recommended for an special occasion or simply to enjoy it on a day to day.
Forgot to take photos of all food. 😊

Wonderful mexican food restaurant. Very nice food with the original flavours and recipes. An excellent service and quiet place originally decorated.
This is a quite a found place close to where I'm staying at if people enjoy good beers and tequilas something casual on your tour this is literally next to a case next to market catalan galbani. Very chill place and if you want to get together with friends this is also good to meet for tacos and beers and the guys here are amazing services exquisitely very accommodating!!!
The food was delicious and great service
Had a fantastic meal. Was there at 18:30 on a Friday and we were the only 2 there. Wonderful food and great service (granted only the 2 of us). Enjoy it.
Michelada was delicious, seasoned and spicy. We also had the achicalada and the enchilada suiza. Both tasted really nice!

Expectations were definitely higher, food, quantity and even service. Quick delivery was good though, all together little value for money

Nice TexMex style Mexican food. Not the most authentic but definitely tasty and for Barcelona fairly payable.

I ordered 4 tacos de bistec and the meat was cold. When I asked for a refund, they refused. Poor service, poor quality, do not recommend.
The worse Mexican I’ve ever had. Tiny portions and the food was disgusting. 7.70 for two small tacos
I don't usually post reviews but the food here was pretty bad with little resemblance to Mexican cuisine.
Catching up on reviews. We went there earlier this year. This food is by far the worst slop I have ever tried to eat. Was not worth the paper my money is printed on. We left nearly all the tacos uneaten and the waiter asked if we liked our meal! Haha... Save time and go elsewhere fast! Incredible it is still in business. It is a shame because it is a nice space for a new restaurant...maybe a real mexican one!
Not good in the slightest. Guacamole was bad. Margherita was not drinkable because it tasted like strawberry flavored bad tequila. Tiny portions of mediocre food and not terribly cheap. In a town with a bunch of good food at fairly inexpensive prices I would avoid this one.
The owner is great and welcoming and clearly takes pride in his restaurant but unfortunately that pride is misplaced. He would do well to reassess the menu which isn't really Mexican and also the recipes. The flavours are poor and bland, nachos with a mass of flavourless melted orange cheese and a few jalapeños, guacamole in a portion the size of a thimble, poor, rushed, surly service and generally a poor experience. The owner should go and eat in the other Mexican restaurants in Barcelona, all of them. This place needs to change and it can.
Ordered food from here and it's the saddest thing you can get. We got Tacos that were just meat wrapped in white sliced bread and the size of the enchiladas were like side dishes. Nachos were cold and maybe about ten chips in total.
I feel like the food has been heats up by microwave. Spicy sauce is really good. But the food is not recommended at all. You might need to find the way to not heat up the food, too, overcook. Services is good.
