"This review should be a big surprise to anyone who knows me: not because i went to this restaurant but because i went to this restaurant because it is in the South Bay....Manhattan Beach specifically. And this Dude rarely goes to the South Bay or the Westside for that matter. But be that as it may, i was visiting a long lost friend who lives in MB and being that Pachanga is one of his faves......we went with the smell of salt water in our noses. Pachanga has several meanings in spanish but the one i like is that it is a wild dance similar to both the cha-cha and the samba. Though there was no dancing going on here: there was some pretty good cooking. Since I will eat Nachos pretty much anywhere and in any form i ordered the Beefy Nachos and this dish was very well prepped and presented. The Guacamole was creamy, tasty and sparked with onions, seasonings and a bit of tomato. Chips were fresh and warm. Beef was beefy, savory and obviously freshly cooked. We also had a steak quesadilla which was less than a success. The steak was a bit chewy probably because the whole piece was cut with the grain rather than across it. This could have happened with the vendor or at the restaurant. In either event, it ruined the product. Also it should have been served with something other than just chips. The Burrito was jammed pack with good stuff: sauce, meat, greens,tomato all wrapped in a home made tasting flour tortilla. This is a well thought out, tasty product. The service was quick. The counter help was nice and willing to help and explain the menu. My MB friend of course was in heaven here and it was good to see him after several years. I will be back here to visit him as well as to dance the P-A-C-H-A-N-G-A !!!!"

"From the outside this place looks a bit questionable because it's a house that has been converted into a restaurant. There's limited parking, but once you are in then you will find the employees to be extremely friendly. They start you off with Fresh Salsa and Chips, then ask you what you want you want to drink. I opted for the Fruit Punch Jarrito, while my Husband went with Mandarin. Having glass bottles was definitely a bonus for me. The flavor will always be better in those, but what you really must know is about the salsa. The flavors were definitely there with the onion and cilantro, but not too much spice. This is of course from my perspective which is one of someone that tends to like the spice in my Mexican food. I ordered shrimp fajitas for myself while my husband had the Speedy beef Burrito. Upon trying his Burrito first, I found it to be the perfect moisture, but lacked the spice. I then tried my shrimp Fajitas. Everything about my fajitas was cooked to perfection, but it also lacked the spice I was looking for. This location is perfect for those wanting Authentic, delicious Mexican food, but without the spice they know they can't handle. That is not to say there is not flavor. There is plenty of flavor. For my Husband it is what he's calling mild flavor because I've spent many years slowly breaking him in. So yes please give this restaurant a chance and form your own opinion because for you it might just be five stars."
