We dined here to celebrate my partners birthday. I ordered the Pabellon Criollo in the vegan option and it was one of the best meals I’ve had! My partner ordered an oyster, street corn, lamb skewers and the chicken tacos and enjoyed them all. The staff were very friendly and accommodating 🩷 It was a busy night with a particularly loud group, but otherwise the ambiance is lovely!

Fresh, delicious tacos and the corn was incredible too. For $65 - 2 people, we shared an entree and 6 tacos and was full. So good, I’ll be back if I’m Ballarat.

This was our first experience at this restaurant, and it was a mixed bag. First of all, we loved the design and the vibe; it reminded us of South American restaurants in the States, and the professional interior design was appealing. The service and the margarita were also quite good. However, the food was disappointing. It was poorly made, overpriced, and the small portion of protein was unjustifiable. This place is definitely great for hanging out with friends, enjoying the atmosphere, and having drinks, but I wouldn’t recommend it for dining.

We had a fantastic experience at Pancho, a vibrant, modern spot with great energy and even better food and drinks. There was plenty of seating available inside, which made it easy to settle in and enjoy the night without feeling rushed or cramped. The cocktails were absolutely delicious, expertly crafted and full of flavour. Whether you’re into something citrusy, spicy, or spirit-forward, their drinks menu has something for everyone. You can tell the bartenders know what they’re doing, each drink felt balanced and thoughtfully made. Food-wise, the ceviche was fresh and zesty with just the right amount of heat, and the charred corn was a total flavour bomb, sweet, smoky, and generously topped with cheese and seasoning. Both dishes were beautifully plated and perfect for sharing. Empanadas are also recommended. Highly recommend Pancho for anyone passing through Ballarat or looking for a fun, flavourful day out.

Came to Ballarat for a basketball ball tournament and stumbled across this place for dinner! Pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of the food! Really enjoyed every dish. The waiters were lovely!
