Rancho Pancho

The staff were very friendly and polite. The food was tasty, though I wasn't a fan of the salsa but that could be down to personal taste. I had a couple of margaritas, my personal favourite of them was the pineapple version.

One of my favourite restaurants in Dundee! Excellent, rich flavours, and a variety of menu options to suit most palates! Would recommend the enchiladas (with Poblano sauce!) as well as the fajitas. Cajun chips as a side were truly well done!!! Staff are friendly, accommodative and attentive, happy to offer a sample of the sauce if required. Atmosphere is great, although a tad too dim/dark for our liking. Drinks are lovely too - would recommend the strawberry daiquiri! *Almost always needs reservations, and is often booked out - reserve in advance*

Visited Rancho Pancho yesterday and I must say—this is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve dined at in Dundee. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by Maya, setting the tone for an amazing evening. I kicked things off with the Nachos Grande with chicken, paired with a glass of Big Wednesday. The nachos were phenomenal—crunchy, flavorful, and loaded, with possibly the best guacamole I’ve ever had (and I’ve tried a lot from different countries!). For my main, I had the Margarita Chicken: strips of marinated chicken breast pan-fried with cumin, chillies, garlic, cream, and a dash of Jose Cuervo Gold. It was beautifully plated and absolutely delicious. While it could’ve used a bit more spice, the flavors were still top-tier and well-balanced. It came with rice, sour cream, and flour tortillas—perfect accompaniments. I paired the meal with a glass of Pinot Grigio and later tried a Hurricane cocktail, which was refreshing and well-mixed. To finish, I went all out with a shot of Don Julio 1942—smooth and the perfect cap to the meal. Service & Atmosphere Special shoutout to Sarah and Maya who looked after me all evening. Their attentive and friendly service really made the experience stand out. The restaurant’s layout and vibrant décor create such a warm, festive vibe—it's Instagram-worthy and comfortable. From food to drinks to service, Rancho Pancho delivered on every level. Can’t wait to return!

Heard a lot about this place, so made the trip from Edinburgh up to Dundee to find out for myself. Was it good? Well, yes it was. Was it fabulous? Not sure. Arrived 5 minutes before opening and instead of being offered the drinks menu and our table, we were asked to go back out into the rain until the full compliment of staff arrived. 5 minutes early!! Once at our table, service was quick and satisfactory. Food was very good, it really was, traditional Mexican options to eat on your own or to share. But the menu did not offer anything that I had not seen before. Cost was a little more than I expected, but I had no problem handing over the cash as it had been a good experience over all.

Great atmosphere, and service. The food was also very tasty although we didn't like a lot the desert, 'churros'. This ofc might have been due to personal preferences. Also, we think that the big menus were not very handy. The cocktails needed a bit more alcohol (again personal preference). Everything else was excellent!

Always had good food from this family run business however, a special occasion was booked well in advance then I called a few days beforehand to adjust the booking to be told they were unsure if they were going to be open, that someone would call me the next night...guess what? I had to phone them back to be told no manager available and still unsure if open could I call back? So called the next night....unsure why I was even bothering at this point tbh but no manager again, the girl was just home from uni and helping out could I phone at 4pm the next day....the DAY BEFORE OUR BOOKING, I phoned anyway as we actually wanted to still go lol but when I did phone, I was advised the manager was serving a table, could they pop me on hold? ....Then I was cut off....so I phoned back AGAIN to be met with STINKING ATTITUDE, asking if I was the one who had been continually phoning? Eh yes!!!! I was utterly shocked to be told that I had been told already they are closed on Saturday........When I pointed out my many phonecalls during which not one of their staff knew the restaurant was closed that day, I got a half hearted apology said in anger. I have been left utterly shocked and appalled by this behaviour and aggressive attitude towards me that I honestly would not feel comfortable to ever set foot in that place again. I advised that it is totally understandable that things change but advance warning would have been preferred in order that I may make alternative arrangements. This is no way to treat loyal customers. I think he may not have spoken to me like that had I been male, shouting over me any time I tried to convey my upset at this treatment. Anyway, I'm not interested in your no doubt justified response to this review, you know how you acted and I'll NEVER RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN.

My hubby and I had a delicious meal at Rancho Panchos. We were running late due to traffic and were worried we'd lose our table but when we phoned the staff member reassured us we had our table until 6.30pm and they would rush our food for us when we got there. We finally got there at 5.30pm, table was booked for 5pm. I had a raspberry margarita which was very good. We ordered our food and it was with us very quickly. I had 2 starters as my main course, the loaded potato skins and nachos. My hubby had the fajitas combo and he ended up helping me with the nachos as I was so full. All the food was well cooked & delicious. Staff were excellent. We loved all the day of the dead themed artwork in the restaurant. We'll definitely be booking here again! Tip: Make sure you pre-book. The restaurant was fully booked when we went.

We ate here last night Saturday 3rd May as a group of 4. We had the sharing nachos which were delicious and very very tasty. I had the chicken burrito which was stuffed full of very very flavoursome ingredients and was simply delicious. Service is top notch and so very friendly. Would highly recommend. Special shout out to Sarah who looked after us so well. Recommend booking as the place was packed. We booked 3 weeks in advance.
