We hosted our son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Ponco's Backyard March 5,2009. The experience was perfect in every way. The manager, Manuel, did a great job of organizing his staff and service was excellent and professional. The ambiance was romantic and the setting in the open air part of the restaurant was unforgettable. Our food was ...

I am not happy if I go to Cozumel and can't visit Panchos, it is so good for me that for 3 years now I have bean waited on by the same waiter who remembers me everytime I get there, his name is Manolo he does everything in his power so that we have a very good time.. Keep up the good work, even tho I live in Tampa, Florida I recomend Panchos to ...
Great ambiance. Service was very slow and inattentive. Food was good but portions were small and overpriced. $43 for two plates and two margaritas that were so so. Charged $2.00 for a little bowl of salsa. Not worth the money

Don't miss this place if you only have 2 hours in Cozumel. Pancho's will be the highlight of any cruise that stops there. We plan our annual birthday cruise each year to celebrate with Manuel and his crew of the finest waitstaff and musicians you could ever want. The food is impeccable with its own tropical flair, unique to Pancho's. ...

BEST IN COZUMEL
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/04/08
Loved this place!! We stayed a week in Cozumel and ate there three times. Staff got to know us and treated us like royalty. Food and drinks were second to none. Best on the island.
We go to Mexico a lot, and we make sure that Pancho's Backyard is one of our stops. They have their own reverse osmosis system, so you can drink the water and eat the ice...yes I tested this. The margaritas are the best in the world!!! And if you ask, they will tell you the recepie...and sell you the tequilla that goes in it. The food is ...

Awesome food with a romantic atmosphere at night! This is the best we ate at the island after Casa Mission. The staff is very friendly and the whole restaurant is lite with candels. Awesome Mahi-Mahi and shrimp!

Returning to Panchos Backyard
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/23/08
Loved this quaint little rest. in town. The service was excellent. Food was delicious and fresh. We ate in the courtyard in Oct. 98 we stopped in off of a carnival cruise for lunch. We are returning to Cozumel to stay at the Cancun Palace, and plan to return to eat there. Last time we had way too much food for 20.00. Let's see what the price difference is after 9 years.
We ate here for the first time on our honeymoon in 1993 and loved it!! Took our kids in 2006 and again it was awesome!! Kids had virgin margaritas and we had non virgin ones!! The staff was awesome and so kind to the kids...after we ate a band showed up and let my 3 year old play one of the instruments! This year we are heading back for our 15 year wedding anniversay and cant wait!!! Highly recommend this resturant!
