Reviews for Pachanga Cocina Mexicana in Ellicott City, MD

The family has been going here for awhile. The service and food never let us down. My personal recommendation from the bar is... the Cadillac Margarita. Order the Fish Bowl if you can handle it, otherwise, order the starter size. We've sampled many foodchoices on the menu. If you like hot salsa, ask for the habanero salsa. The curve I was thrown came from the Cholula Wings."Who goes for Mexican and orders wings?" were my last words before having them. #Delicious Read more

The food was good and the portions were generous. The service was pretty good too and there wasn't a wait either.

Came here a couple nights ago and it wasn?t too bad. Service was kind and food tasted great. I am normally not a big fan of... cheese but the cheese in my enchiladas was bearable. What I am a fan of though is hot sauce. When asking if I could have hotsauce I chose the more spicy option since, why not? Anyways for the hot sauce, at first glance it looked like salsa but aftertasting it, I really liked how they added the jalapeños in it. So now I?m wondering, was it actually salsa? Anyways the craband shrimp enchiladas was good and the stater of chips and salsa was great. Read more

This was my favorite Mexican restaurant for year and when I was visiting asked my parents to eat here. The food was okay. My... dad and I were the only one whose food was decent. The desert was also good. The service is where they get 1 star. We had atable between two others that had a fantastic female server. Ours was a man that seemed miserable to be there and disappearedfor 15 minutes outside the building. None of the other servers came to check on us and we had to awkwardly sit while we waitedfor him to come back. When he was back in the building he still took long periods of time coming to check on us. He left thedishes on the table when he brought our dessert which made it hard to share. We would let him know we needed something but whenhe came he would rush away. It was very frustrating while we watched the two tables next to us have great service. Managementreally needs to make sure all servers are as good as her. We always tip at least 20% and this is the first time we left a 10%one. Read more

Very good happy hour. Edit: Service can be atrocious. Asked for water 3 times, and it never arrived. Food has gone downhill in... a matter of weeks. And forget getting your check, unless you have 20 extra minutes to kill. A shame, since this restaurant usedto be great. Read more

We went there for Mother?s day dinner, the service was great in spite of the busy crowd. Food was amazing as usual and our... waitress Joselyn was wonderful! If you are a spicy food fan like me, try their Habanero sauce ?? Read more

Service was great! Everyone was so nice. Food was okay. It was blander than I was expecting.

The service was alright. I was disappointed on how greasy the fajitas were, steak is very dry and flavorless - there?s more... onions then anything else. The chicken burrito was just pure tomato sauce, very droopy, as seen in the picture. Only thing weenjoyed was the ceviche. Read more
