Owner/chef Antonio Martinez is the man behind the exceptional and casually unpretentious Viva Pancho, a Mexican eatery located in the heart of the famous Theatre District. Reminiscent of Mexico City restaurants that favor a blend of taste and just the right touch of spice, Viva Pancho offers authentic dishes including nachos and guacamole, enchiladas, tacos, and tostadas. The menu also includes children’s treats, and delectable dishes such as steak ranchero, arroz con pollo, an array of combo selections and the house specialty, fajitas: sizzling, marinated strips of steak, chicken, or shrimp. A sports bar features a variety of margaritas and sangrias, and oversized and scrumptious servings are to be expected, as is a fun and relaxing atmosphere — perfect before or after you see the latest Broadway smash.
