Pancho Villa Mexican Grill in Lincoln, Nebraska, is a true gem that captures the heart of authentic Mexican cuisine. This family-owned business, run by Eli and Lisa Santana, brings a warm, personal touch to every dish they serve. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a vibrant atmosphere and friendly service that makes you feel like part of the family. The food is outstanding—freshly prepared daily with recipes that reflect their Southwestern roots. The Guadalajara tacos are a standout, bursting with flavor, and the homemade green salsa is an absolute must-try, adding a zesty kick to every bite. The portions are generous, and the margaritas are perfectly crafted. What makes this place special is the love and dedication the Santana family pours into their restaurant, creating not

Wow. I found the new best Mexican spot in Lincoln! They have a grill in the front room where everything is made fresh. The chicken was amazing and tastes better than places twice as expensive. I will need to go back to try the steak and other items. Honestly, some of the best Mexican food I've ever had anywhere!

Run down interior with gaps in the flooring. Depressing atmosphere inside. Took about 30 minutes to get our food compared to maybe 10 minutes tops for the other people coming in after us when we were the only people in there initially with food cooking. Server visited us maybe two or three times. Very bland food. They were out of half the things we tried to order. Costs way to much for the quantity and quality of the food. When checking out server hovered over tip screen to watch what was being out down.

I stopped in on a recommendation from a coworker after i got off of work, and the fact everything i walked by it smelt soo good. And it was even better than anticipated! The food was amazing, and you can tell everything is homemade all the way down to the chips. The atmosphere is very welcoming. Overall I highly recommend stoppinginto this absolute gem, you won't regret it!
