Panchos Observatory

25/05/2026

After 41 years in Observatory… Panchos is turning the page. 🌮❤️

Our little Mexican restaurant on Lower Main Road has seen first dates, birthdays, tequila-fuelled celebrations, student dinners, family traditions, and probably a few questionable decisions after margarita number three.

Following the sale of the building, Pancho's will officially serve its final meals in Observatory on 13 June 2026 before relocating to a new home in Cape Town.

Before we pack up the chilli sauce and sombreros, we’d love for you to come visit us one last time in Obs, share your memories, post your favourite old photos, and celebrate 41 incredible years with us.

More details about our new home will be shared soon. 👀
Thank you, Cape Town. Thank you, Observatory.
And thank you for keeping Panchos alive since 1985.
