Playa del Carmen, Mexico's virtual guidebook written by locals

pdc directory


Pancho's has lately distinguished itself as one of Playa del Carmen's best culinary experiences and their Frida Bar - a tribute to beloved Mexican artist Frida Kahlo - is a great ambient bar to start out the night. Dont' miss out on their famous flavored Margaritas!

Pancho's has an innovative international menu with a Mexican twist. Their interesting food is served in a pretty and romantic court yard with trees and plants. They make a great boquinete (hogfish) in a red tangy adobo sauce, and the bananas flambé with ice-cream or flambéed Spanish Coffee is the perfect dessert after any dinner.

Even if you're not up for a huge meal, Pancho's is a good place to eat. They have a great selection of smaller dishes, for example the tasty breaded shrimp tacos.

Innovative and delicious food in a romantic lush courtyard.
