Panchos Mudgeeraba

Best Known For

Crisp pork belly tacos with cilantro mayo, salsa rojo, caramelised pineapple and pickled onions.

Those seeking Tex-Mex fare with flair on the Gold Coast head to Panchos on Gold Coast Springbrook Road in Mudgeeraba. There are sombreros and bright murals on the walls, along with well-worn brick, a fireplace and an alfresco area which feels like you are in Baja with cacti, wagon wheels and wine barrels. Grab your amigos and a Margarita to go with crispy fried calamari, chipotle sauce, cilantro vinaigrette and fresh lime, then wrap your mouth around garlic prawn tacos with smoked paprika, fresh chilli, mango, jalapeño salsa and rocket leaves. Carnivores won’t go past Mexican steak served on a sizzling plate with chimichurri, chips, slaw and rice, or ribs and wings with apple slaw and chips; decadent desserts like cinnamon-dusted churros, whipped cream and chocolate sauce demand devouring.
