I was very pleasantly surprised at my experience at Senor Panchos last night. We ate inside, were seated immediately, chips and salsa appeared immediately followed by our wonderful waiter. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks with "doggie" boxes for all. I will definitely go back...again.More

We had my father-in-laws repast lunch at Señor Panchos. It was flawless! We have been going to Señor Panchos in Southbury for 25 years and have always loved it but we never expected to be overwhelmed by how a Mexican Restaurant could throw a true...Irish Celebration of Life! What is great about having a party there (and it really was a party at my father-in-laws request) is that Andy can have multiple types of food on the buffet and they are all perfect. We had Mexican, Italian and American. There was something for everyone. The food was amazing and as always the drinks were spot on and the atmosphere is so welcoming. In addition we could not have asked for better service. We are so thankful to Andy Adames and his staff. Do not hesitate to enjoy this restaurant or host an event there, you will not be disappointed.More

Disappointed for the first time I have been eating here on a regular basis for 2 years since moving to Southbury. Went early on a Friday night and elected to eat outdoors. Service was fast and the servers were friendly. We each ordered a fajitas...with came quickly. The meal was good as usual. Decided to share a fried ice cream for the desert. Now the problem the dish had so much brandy in it that the flame would not burn off until most of the ice cream melted. Because we were outside we didn’t even see it was on fire and I burned m finger. I mentioned it to a server and nothing was said. I expected at least an I’m sorry First they should warn people it is flaming because you can’t see the flames outdoors and second you don’t fill the dish with so much brandy that it flames for so long it melts Everything in the dish. I will probably return for dinner but I will never order dessert again and I suggest other people don’t either.More

We called the around 11:45 asking for a curbside pick up at 5:00 pm We arrived at 5:00 and called them to bring it out. It took less than 3 minutes and a young man with gloves and mask showed up and confirmed it was...our order. The main dishes were piping hot and I was surprised that they gave us a large order of chips with salsa as well as sour cream pick de galo and guacamole. Everything thing tasted delicious and the portions were so large we had leftovers for lunch. I was pleased with their service and qualityMore

Went here while looking for some Mexican food. They food was really not that good unfortunately. The place looks like it could use a good cleaning and the amount of flys that kept buzzing us at the table was a turn off. The service was...also a little slow.More

No one at the front desk and several groups waiting for tables. The menu lack some of my favorite dishes usually found in most Mexican restaurant, and the fajitas were bland and high price. The fries ice cream was so drenched in rum or tequila...that I couldn’t eat it.More

Senor Panchos doesn’t try to be sophisticated. It doesn’t try to make you say “wow.” It doesn’t surprise you. It just serves consistently good, value-priced, familiar US Mexican staples - tacos, enchiladas, burritos, fajitas and the like. The staff serves every dish with a smile....The chips are always toasty warm, served with a mild salsa. The chili is a standout, and they do a nice tableside guacamole. Nice cocktails and smoothies as well. And on occasion a boisterous mariachi band.More

Senor has stood the test of time. The food is ample and of good quality. Service is almost always excellent. The price is very reasonable. The selection is wide open. Kids really enjoy the place with their families. Drinks are solid with great imported and...domestic beers. The owner, Andy, is usually around .Many of the staff have been pleasant for so many years that you might take them for granted.More

Went with mom and dad. I helped them order because they weren’t sure. Mom had the quesadilla and dad a steak ranchero. They loved it. The food is always good and the staff is always nice. They give large portions and the prices are reasonable....The best chips and salsa ever!!! But I was disappointed in my margarita. The first one was way off and so was the second one. They came from a “pitcher” of already made margaritas. No, no, no ... you make them fresh every time. Don’t care how busy you are. Needless to say I didn’t order a drink. Used to be great margaritas, but not so much anymore.More

Large portions but service is very slow. The food is just OK - nothing to rave about. Best part was the Salad.

While the food was okay, the service was extremely slow. It took about 20 minutes for our drink order to be taken, and another 40 for the food to arrive. When it came, it was the wrong order. They did apologize and discounted the meal,...and they brought out the correct dish very quickly after that. In any case, I am not planning to go back. There are other, way better restaurants in Southbury.More
