Ismael was the absolute best. He has the best energy and attitude towards everyone that walks in. I asked about the dollars that are taped to the ceiling near the bar and he said people have done this tradition since the restaurant opened in ‘08. So he gave me a dollar to sign and tape it to the ceiling. You can feel that he loves people walking in and experiencing his restaurant. The food was great, the waitress was very nice as well. I Definitely recommend this place.

Okay, I understand "good" customer service and the usual experience we expect at any restaurant. At Pansa Llena, the customer service is good but you'll have to get their attention for additional or continual service. We enjoyed our time there, so the service was just one factor to consider. Some of the perks include, any customer has the ability to play music using the Jukebox and it's a friendly environment. However, the female bartender's service strong drinks and the chicken mole is best in the area. Give this place a try.

Keydi is a waitress there in Pansa Llena, and she had excellent service and she was very attentive. The food was really good, especially the pollo blanco. I will definitely be coming back here again.

My neighborhood bar and eternally grateful! The best spot for happy hour, tacos, & margaritas! I’ve lived in the area for 5 years and I keep coming back. If you’re looking for a real place with real good service, give this place a try. Worth every dollar.

I wouldn't exactly call this a cozy place, it's a pretty standard restaurant. The interior could use some updates but it's not unacceptable. It's also not the best Mexican you ever had but the food is definitely good. I'll come back again. I came with a large group for a team lunch and pretty much everything we ordered was good. I'm just curious about the happy hour and what that's like.

We have been going to Pansa Llena for about 6 years now. The food, service and atmosphere are all consistently wonderful! Owner Ishmael and his sister, Flor, and the rest of the staff are so friendly and welcoming! Go find out for yourselves! :)

This is a great neighborhood Mexican restaurant. The food is delicious and the service was very good. Just about my only complaint is that the night we were there they had the music turned up too loudly for good conversation.
