• An absolute delight

Whilst touring Japan with a group consisting of four meat-eaters, one vegetarian and one vegan (me!), we decided to stop into El Pancho because at least two of us were craving burritos. We were not disappointed. I found the restaurant without much difficulty - its right by a big Zara and an H&M on the 8th floor of a tower filled with restaurants. Its about five minutes walk from the nearest subway station. The inside of the restaurant is charmingly garish. Everything is Mexican-themed, from the outfits the waitresses wear to the flashing chili pepper lights strung around the walls. The lighting is quite dim but good enough to read the menu and see what you're eating. The food was great. I asked for my burrito to be made vegan and our waitress knew right away what that meant without my having to explain it. She specified what would be removed from the meal (cheese and sour cream) and I reckon I got a few extra veggies in there to make up for it. The portion sizes are huge and the food is absolutely delicious, so its great value for money. They also do a range of alcoholic drinks and cocktails priced the same as soft drinks and they do pretty much every flavour of daiquiri you can imagine. They're also happy to mix you a custom one if you explain it and they have the ingredients. Overall, El Pancho is amazing. I'd definitely go back.
