Avoid Restaurant Pancho's y Tequila Bar in Cabo
A bunch of us just completed a trip down south and went out to dinner in Cabo. It turns out Restaurant Pancho's and Tequila Bar has some major math
issues.
Yes, they thought we were all having so much fun nobody would notice. They really jacked up the bill and then made a big issue of it. Do NOT go
there. I wrote this up on Trip Advisor and found that many others have had the same experience. STAY AWAY from Restaurant Pancho's and Tequila Bar
in Cabo San Lucas.

Some employees think they are smarter than they really are. You should inform the owner but I guess you have through TripAdvisor.

I think it is a little more like Newport Beach or Balboa. So Cabo prices are always high to me, but the bill should reflect what you ordered and
consumed - not what management thinks they can gouge you for.

Restaurant owners like that already know. I knew an owner in Laguna Beach who brutalized his customers. When I asked him why, he just said eff 'em.
They're tourists and I won't see them but once anyway.

It has always amazed me how restaurant owners don't go the extra mile with all of their customers and if the customers are enjoying themselves and
already drank and eaten and the bill is pretty high give them a drink or appitizer on the house. Not only will it bring them back but word of mouth is
better than spending a ton on what you would spend on adds or flyers.
In Mexico it seems that when business id down the owners always jack up their prices or add what they want and screw you......

Not just in Cabo, mind you they reach the top.
In Todos Santos we had a simmilar thing, not one item on the bill reflected the price from the menu, and always MORE. This was at La Casita, the
pleace near the only traffic light in town. The food was great but everything was over charged.
The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

We live in between Cabo and San Jose. Many fine places to eat. We eat in San Jose most of the time. No issues. Some people just have a note on their
backs I guess that says "Kick Me"

Ron Ristroph took me and a buddy in many years ago while on a 2 month trip to Baja. We were broke but he seemed to like us for whatever reason. He
kind of ran his sister's restaurant, Panchos. We soon met John and Mary Bragg who were very, very generous to us. Our friendship began.
While it's been some time since I've been to Cabo, I have nothing but great memories of Panchos. In fact, we had Mary set us up with our civil
wedding ceremony in town.
John and Mary moved to mainland some time back but I believe Ron might still be down there. I'm guessing you had an off night. That doesn't make it
correct but be careful painting a broad image.
I suggest you email Mary and let her know your situation. She is an astute, honest lady and will not put up with any nonsense.
Just my two cents.

Cabo is a great town, same for San Jose and La Paz. I love these towns for different reasons. Cabo has lots of tourists and that spells $$$.
Stuff happens down here and if a tourist can get fleeced, a fool and his money....
It's always a good idea to keep careful track of money during transactions and not take ''misunderstandings'' personally.
Tourist destinations seem to attract scammers. Just be careful -- and try to judge the situation rather than the culture or city or pueblo.

Yes, Cabo has culture and it was here before the tourists came. It's a MX fishing town that grew up.
Cabo is more than tourist clubs and those living down here know how great it is. Lots going on and it's just beautiful. World class food,
great beaches, and best weather in the Baja.
Seriously, it's the foreigners who don't get it -- locals love it.
