Mrs. Guido's 2 Cents:
La Panchita is your typical Mexican restaurant in every sense of the word. From it's dingy stucco facade to its dark interior with pinatas and mariachi attired waiters, the restaurant did nothing to diminish the stereotype. The restaurant was fairly busy, and is very popular with the locals. It was our first visit to the restaurant, and I believe that we decided to try it because we had a coupon and had heard good things from friends. The food was average, but nothing spectacular. I had my usual for a restaurant of this nature, the Carne a la Tampiquena. The steak was a little dry, and the enchilada was average and had more hot sauce than cheese. We had plenty of chips and salsa as well as bread, so we did not get an appetizer, or drinks, even though I kept looking longingly at the drink menu. Overall, the restaurant seemed to rely more on beating you over the head with the stereotype than relying on food quality, unlike Maria's, which I feel is the vastly superior Spanish/Mexican restaurant in the area. The owner (I would imagine) was a friendly blond woman, who after running our credit card and seeing our name, said thank you and "yia'sou" as we left. So much for authentic spanish dining.
