La Panchita Mexican Spanish Latin Cuisine

My entire family went for father’s day, we went based on the many good reviews but we were disappointed with the food. our food was diverse, from steak, to pork, tacos and even seafood. and no one enjoyed their plate. definitely not worth it for the price. it seemed cheap, had no flavor. the atmosphere and service were great. just wished food was better.

We called in a take out order yesterday at 6:05 and was told your food will be ready at 6:30. My Wife gets there at 6:45. Every 10 minutes she’s told by the staff that “they’re making it now and it will be out in a few minutes”. Long story short, the food wasn’t ready until 7:45. Am I supposed to believe that this restaurant didn’t know that it couldn’t meet a 25 minute deadline when it took this order? And on Father’s Day no less? I’m quite sure they knew, they just decided to selfishly fatten their pockets and ruin our family’s dinner rather than be honest, upfront and forthright. Perhaps even worse, is that the food was horribly over salted and inedible. They didn’t even have the decency to throw in a churro or an app as consolation for stealing more than an hour of my spouse’s time (not that I would have been able to swallow it). In my opinion, this place should be avoided like the plague.

I went with my son. We had empanadas paella and chimichangas. Everything was amazing. The service was excellent and the bartender is wonderful and kind. Loved this place will def go again and again ...

Hidden gem of Smithtown. Good drinks amazing food. If quiet and dim lighting is your type of place head here. Will definitely be back.

Good food, good service. Coffee machine was broken and they close early
