    WARNING: Pancho's does not accept reservations via Open Table. I found out the hard way when I called on Saturday to confirm the reservation I made using Open Table. They had no record of my request and informed me they don't use OT anymore. And, they were booked so ... be careful if you plan to go to Pancho's in Manhattan Beach.

    We took our 7 year old & 3 year old for lunch on Sunday. They loved it. Biggest bummer of the meal was the $17 they charged us for my son's plate of "nachos" (cheese and chips). Im not sure how a Mexican restaurant with a Kids Menu (that has pizza on it) does not offer a kids portion of nachos (on or off menu). Our waiter did bring him a scoop of ice cream with chocolate sauce that comes with the Kids Menu meals...for $17 he should have.

    Lovely courtyard seating and yummy Mexican food, what could be better? The small side of guacamole was not so good, but the waiter took it back and removed the charge from our bill. I had the combo crunchy shredded beef taco and cheese enchilada which comes with rice and beans, plenty to take home and snack on the next day. We skipped the drinks because we were driving, but the next table had a sangria that looked amazing. Definitely will go back when in the south bay. thanks Panchos

    Food was great. This was our last stop before heading to the airport after a weekend in LA. We saw Vince Vaughn. He said hello to us and it made for a perfect ending to a perfect weekend in LA!!
