Margaritas. Sangria. Margaritas! Complement pitchers of the good stuff (in lime, peach, strawberry) with a host of traditional Mexican fare at Pancho Pistol's, a crowded Bridgeport restaurant near U.S. Cellular Field. Exposed brick walls, festive Latin music and a casual atmosphere make this family-owned eatery a treasured stopover before and after Sox games.

Fantastic Fresh Mexican Food!
By lindsay4th on 05/05/2007
The last guy must have gone to a different Pancho's because I have been eating here for over 6 years and the food is always fresh and flavorful. The guacamole is freshly made and the salsa that is brought to the table is terrific. Margaritas are the best. The restaurant (and washrooms) are always spotless and the outside eating area a plus in the nice weather.

This made it on the top 10?!?!
By slinker13 on 01/30/2007
Seriously, this place ranks as one of the worst places to eat "Mexican" (if thats what you want to call it) food! I'm not fond of QDoba or Chipotle Grill but I would definitely rank those places higher than this restaurant. The meat is slimey and tasteless, the salsa was absolutely disgusting...a shame it's even called "salsa", their guacamole that was just squeezed out of a plastic bag shows they don't care about the quality of food they served...never ever serve guacamole warm either!!! Their beans taste like they had been sitting out for hours...nothing fresh, nothing good! If you can avoid this place, please do so...if not eat at your own risk!!!

Simply the BEST Mexican Food!!
By chgosteaks on 01/05/2007
Pancho Pistolas has the absolute best mexican food money can buy. And its not alot of money. We have been going there for over 10 years, sometimes 3 times a week. Never getting tired of it. The carne asada is to die for. Between the top quality of their outer skirt steak (most other restaurants serve less quality/expensive steak) and their flavorful seasoned cast iron grill, you can't duplicate the flavor & tenderness of their steak anywhere! Awsome margaritas. Great for large parties at last minute reservations. The Garcia Family really knows how to provide a great dining experience time after time. Give it a try you won't be dissapointed. MJS
