Good morning, this is Taiki! This time, I visited a restaurant recommended by @77wakatake77 for the STORY question. It's a Mexican cuisine restaurant, a genre I don't usually eat, so I was very intrigued. I love tacos, so I usually make them myself, but this time I aimed for a different menu. As I approached the restaurant, I could hear cheerful background music coming from inside. The interior was nice, and there were two groups of ladies having a girls' night out. I was there alone, visiting after 3 pm, so it was relatively empty. The lunch set prices ranged from 1100 to 1690 yen. I ordered the "Chicken Burrito" a la carte this time. It's a Mexican dish where you put ingredients on a tortilla and roll it up. The tortilla was topped with avocado sauce, tomatoes, and other colorful ingredients. The dish also came with meat sauce and cheese on the side, and the taste varied depending on what you paired it with. The food was a hit, and I was worried if the a la carte order would be enough, but the generous portion left me feeling full. There were many other delicious-looking items on the menu, so I think this restaurant would be more enjoyable to visit with multiple people sharing dishes rather than dining alone. Overall, I really liked it and would consider revisiting to try other items on the menu. Many lunch places close by 2 pm, but this restaurant operates throughout the day, making it convenient to visit without worrying about the time. Located right in the heart of Shinsaibashi, I recommend stopping by while shopping in the area. See you again!

I made a reservation for Sunday lunch and arrived around 12 o'clock. There were a lot of customers lining up, but because I had a reservation, I was able to be seated first. I highly recommend making a reservation if you can. The seating is limited to 90 minutes due to the crowdedness. The Mexican cuisine on the one plate was delicious and plentiful. I had a great time chatting with my friends and enjoying the food. I definitely want to go again!

After finishing a hospital visit, I initially planned to go for "solo yakiniku" but gradually changed my mind and searched for "day drinking in Shinsaibashi" on the internet. Surprisingly, I found a nearby Mexican restaurant called "El Pancho" with high ratings on Tabelog. The restaurant is located on the 8th floor of the Shinsaibashi Tower Building. I arrived around 4 pm and was surprised by how dimly lit the interior was. I was seated at a table for two and was informed that there was a 90-minute time limit. I ordered the "Mexican Tacos" for 750 yen, "Chicken Chili Quesadilla" for 1,300 yen, and a Mexican beer called "Dos Equis Lager" for 750 yen. I got hooked on Tex-Mex cuisine six years ago while living in hotels for work in America. As I reminisced, the Mexican Tacos were served. The tortilla was soft, filled with plenty of vegetables like tomatoes and onions, and had a good amount of cilantro. The spicy meat was delicious, and I found myself quickly finishing the Dos Equis Lager. To avoid overspending, I switched to the happy hour drink menu and ordered a "Corona" for 460 yen. The "Chicken Chili Quesadilla" that came next was not a single serving size. The crust was crispy, with bean dip and sour cream toppings in the center. It was different from the "Quesadilla" I loved in America, with a slightly weaker cheese flavor and lacking the chewiness of the crust I expected. I ended with another "Corona" and left the restaurant after about 30 minutes, paying around 4,000 yen with PayPay. I may have rushed my meal and drinks unconsciously due to being told about the 90-minute time limit. I wish I could have taken it slower.

The food is delicious no matter what you eat! The nachos were especially good. The atmosphere is nice too, enjoying Mexican music with a Corona beer in hand, and delicious food. The only downside was the service attitude. It felt like a waste despite the delicious food.

Hello, this is Yuyama. I went to El Pancho with my girlfriend, who I love. We ordered the lunch set menu, which was around 1500 yen. All the dishes were delicious. I wish I could have had a beer if I wasn't hungover. I will definitely go again.

The location may be a bit high, but it is quite popular among foreigners and tourists! The interior of the restaurant is dimly lit with lots of Asian decorations. If you don't mind cilantro and spices, you should be able to enjoy the food. The tacos to snack on between drinks are delicious!

When you enter the shop, you can feel the atmosphere of being in a foreign country. It was very crowded with many customers. Since one taco is quite filling, I decided to only order one type along with nachos. My friend and I went and were satisfied with just one bottle of wine! However, depending on the location, the lighting inside the shop is dim, making it difficult to read the menu, and the female staff members seemed a bit unfriendly. The taste of the food and the atmosphere of the shop are truly recommended.

I actually love Mexican food a lot, and this restaurant in Shinsaibashi station on the Midosuji Line in Osaka reminded me of the time I spent a month eating it in America when I was young. It's a popular place so I made sure to make a reservation. When you walk in, you'll be seated right away, and most of the customers are women, with me being the only guy that day. I ordered the Pancho set for 2,200 yen, which included nachos, quesadilla, guacamole, meat dishes, and tacos, and added refried beans and chips for 750 yen. Of course, I had to go with tequila-based drinks! They have a happy hour until 5 pm, so I went for Corona, Frozen Margarita, and tequila on the rocks in quick succession. The plate was really generous with chicken, spare ribs, vegetables, tacos, and nachos, but it was definitely more than enough for two people. The time limit was 90 minutes, and before I knew it, the time was up. I ended up leaving some chips, so next time I'll have to consider the portion size. In the end, I added another Corona and Frozen Margarita, so I ended up with 2 beers and 3 drinks, and had a great time getting a little tipsy.

Second visit. Visited around 6:30 pm on a weekday. I came back because I knew how delicious the Mexican food was here, and once again, I couldn't resist! The atmosphere of this place is top-notch! The interior is cave-like with lots of lamps lit, making it a wonderful spot for dates or girls' night out. This time, I ordered a Mango Margarita, Quesadilla, and Fajitas, which we shared between two people. The Margarita is made with Mexican alcohol, it's icy cold and delicious! It's like a juice and very easy to drink. I want to try more because there are so many flavors. The Quesadilla is filled with cheese and ingredients, so tasty! It might be my favorite Mexican dish. The Fajitas allow you to assemble your own toppings on the dough, and there were so many toppings that I couldn't fit them all. If you ever feel like having Mexican food in Osaka, be sure to check this place out!

The other day, we visited after a long time! ^_^ We were in the mood for Mexican food, so my partner and I quickly agreed to go to El Pancho! ^_^ The atmosphere of the restaurant, as well as the taste, truly embody Mexican cuisine! ^_^ Even though we have been there many times, this is actually my first time posting about it! I definitely want to go back again! ^_^

Today, I had the day off from work so I enjoyed a fun lunchtime drinking session. I started with Quesadilla and Margarita. Then I had Cactus and Chorizo Nachos, which tasted even better than usual today. Next, I had some Guacamole Chips as a palate cleanser. Finally, I finished with Mexican Hot Pilaf, which was also delicious. I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied and full.

We arrived before 10 pm and had to wait in line for a few groups. As soon as we were seated, it was last order. The menu was in katakana, so it was a bit confusing, but we ordered what looked delicious. Overall, the dishes were spicy and went well with alcohol! Everything was delicious! Even though we were only two people, we left feeling full. The interior of the restaurant was dimly lit and had a stylish atmosphere.

I went to the restaurant on Saturday during the three-day weekend around 11:30 am. I didn't have a reservation, but I was able to get a seat! There were several lunch sets to choose from, and I had a hard time deciding. I chose the one in the picture, although I forgot the name, haha. I chose the mix of avocado and chicken (with an extra 100 yen). It was very filling and delicious! I was satisfied with the food, but the atmosphere of the restaurant was just amazing! It felt like I was in a foreign country during the three-day weekend, haha.

We made a reservation and visited with 2 people. It was almost full after 6 pm. By 7 pm, it was completely full. 80% of the customers were women and from various countries. We ordered a course but couldn't finish the amount. You can enjoy authentic flavors. The quesadilla, tacos, and spare ribs were delicious. Next time, I want to order a taco mix for about 4 people.

Four people entered the restaurant for Sunday lunch. The interior was filled with Mexican decorations, creating a foreign atmosphere. The customers were a mix of Japanese and foreigners. They offered frozen margaritas in pitchers. It was happy hour until 5 pm, so they ordered a pitcher of medium size (about 8-9 glasses worth). They also ordered wrap rolls and tacos, which had a local flavor but were still delicious even for a Japanese person like myself.

I came for lunch because I had UberEATS before and it was delicious. It was around 2:30 PM on a weekday, but the restaurant was bustling. I ordered the Wrap Roll Set (MIX) for ¥1,000. The chicken and avocado wrap rolls had a familiar soft and thin tortilla. The main ingredients with lettuce and other vegetables were plentiful but healthy and very delicious. The flavor was kind of like mayonnaise, smooth and mild. I also ordered the Mexican B for ¥1,590. The taco shell was thick and slightly dry, different from the wrap rolls which I think are made with wheat flour. Tacos in my mind are usually meat and cheese with strong seasoning, considered junk food, but this one had beans, avocado, leafy greens, and tomato which felt very good for the body. Maybe this is how it's supposed to be in the authentic version. I love junky tacos, but this healthier version was also heartwarmingly delicious. The pilaf on the plate was tasty with a buttery soy sauce flavor, and the quesadilla in the set was incredibly delicious with a crispy pie-like texture that paired well with the tangy beans. It might be the best dish of the day for me. My husband also loved it, and we decided it's a place we'll come back to. I want to try more dishes, so I'm thinking of coming back at night. They allowed us to enter with a stroller, but depending on the seating, it might be a bit difficult.

First time trying Mexican cuisine!! Let's go to a Mexican restaurant! Usually, I decide on the restaurant when we go out to eat, but this time it was chosen for me!! It was so delicious, I was surprised!! And the portion was huge lol. Lunch recommendation!

I was really curious about a dish called "quesadilla" that was featured on a TV show, so I did some research and found out it is a Mexican dish. I decided to visit a restaurant that seemed to serve it, after watching a movie on a holiday afternoon. I arrived at 1:15 PM and found the restaurant on the 8th floor of a mixed-use building. The menu listed the dish as "quesadilla," and I opted for a set meal called the "Pancho Set," which included mixed tacos, quesadilla, pilaf, taquito, guacamole, beans, and salad. The quesadilla and salad were served separately, while the rest of the dishes came on one plate. The quesadilla had a good amount of cheese and was served with beans and sour cream. The main plate included mixed tacos, which consisted of chicken, beef, tortilla chips, guacamole, salsa Mexicana, and salsa verde. The atmosphere was lively, with mostly young customers and many foreigners. Overall, the food was good, but the service was a bit rushed, and it was hard to order individual dishes. If I were to visit again, I would prefer to order items separately and take my time to enjoy the meal.

On our days off, my family always decides to "drink" for lunch. With the weather getting warmer, it's the perfect season for enjoying frozen margaritas (^O^) This time, we had the plain chili quesadilla, cactus and chorizo nachos, crispy chicken, and Mexican hot pilaf. All of them are our favorite flavors. We plan to visit a few more times this season (^O^)

This is a shop that I visit many times! In addition to lunch menu options like Poncho Set, Wrap Roll Set, and Mexican Sandwich, you can also enjoy home-cooked dishes such as tamales wrapped in banana leaves and mole with chocolate. The lunch sets come with seasoned rice that suits Japanese taste, so it's a satisfying meal all around!

Recently, in an attempt to eat various cuisines from around the world at a reasonable price, I decided to visit El Pancho as I had not had Mexican food since trying it for the first time about two years ago. Mexican cuisine is not very common in the Kansai region, so I opted for a set menu called the Pancho Set. I visited on a holiday for lunch, arriving 10 minutes before opening time. There were already two groups of customers ahead of me, and one group that arrived later had a reservation. Three more groups arrived after me, and the restaurant opened with a crowded entrance as it also served as an elevator hall. I placed my order when I was brought water, and the food arrived in about 10 minutes. - Salad: Lettuce and carrots with tortilla chips, dressed with salsa sauce. The salsa sauce had just the right amount of spiciness, making the lettuce easy to eat. - Quesadilla: A Mexican version of pizza with sour cream and bean paste. The sour cream was quite tangy, but it played a role in connecting the rich cheese of the quesadilla and the simple bean paste, enhancing the quesadilla. - Main: Three tortillas, four pieces of roast chicken, guacamole, pilaf, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, two tortilla chips, and a tortilla spring roll. It was quite a generous portion. The tortillas were made of wheat flour and were light and easy to eat. The size and texture of the tortillas made it easy to sandwich the chicken, cabbage, tomatoes, and guacamole, without making a mess. The roast chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked, making it delicious to eat on its own or as a sandwich. The pilaf, although I'm not sure what it was based on, was incredibly tasty with a large bean in it. The spring roll was also tasty and easy to eat. Overall, the set menu was of high quality, but I ended up leaving one tortilla chip uneaten. I rarely leave food uneaten, but even as a relatively big eater, I found it challenging. If you were to eat this on a weekday, the 1100 yen Mexican set would be a good choice. The bill came to 1690 yen, which was very reasonable, but the portion size is something to be cautious of for women or those with smaller appetites. However, the food itself was delicious, even the tacos were easy to eat, which I believe is why this place has been around for so long.
