We came with a party of 6 for dinner in a Sunday, it was slow and we didn't have any issues getting reservations. Our server was nice and patient as we asked multiple questions around the table. The food was food. I had the prawns which were really tasty, a little spicy, though for the price I was hoping to at least have one or two more of the prawns. There are only 3 on this dish. My boyfriend had the steak and fries and loved it! Others had different types of enchiladas, which were food. Overall a nice experience and I would recommend it.

Interesting fusion menu. I got the enchiladas with the vegan sauce which was surprisingly flavorful. I wish they had a few more vegetarian items, but they have enough for a small group. The sides seemed a bit overpriced. Nice ambience and friendly staff. Street parking.

Panxa Cocina serves New Mexico inspired food. This is not "Modern Mexican" or "New" Mexican style. These are dishes (Navajo Taco, Frito Pie, Posole) and ingredients (Hatch, Chimayó, Blue Corn) unique to the state itself. This is one of a handful of New Mexico restaurants in Southern California. We were seated on the patio immediately and Destiny was very attentive during the meal. We had the Stacked Enchiladas with Egg and Short Rib and The Green Chile Panxa Burger. It was all delicious, mildly spicy, and very satisfying.

This place is the best. Ambience and food are exquisite and the service impeccable. If you are ever there on a Sunday, have Taisa serve you. We absolutely adore her. My son introduced me to this place and this is our second visit coming back from San Diego. We will be making it a point to try EVERYTHING on the menu, thanks to Taisa.

A low-key restaurant in the Belmont Heights neighborhood serves AMAZING happy hour dishes and drinks. I was shocked to find a standalone restaurant in this residential neighborhood. Parking was tough to find, as the restaurant does not have an assigned parking space for its guests, so the only option was street parking. What we ordered from the HAPPY HOUR menu: ELOTE TEMPURA BALLS (Sweet corn, cotija, Morita, lime, aioli, paprika) - My favorite item on the happy hour menu. If you are looking for something sweet, these fried balls will DELIGHTFULLY melt in your mouth. CHICKEN CHIMICHANGA (Shredded chicken, cheese, pico hatch chili, Chimayo, chili, crema) - SUPERB mini fried burrito with fantastic hatch chili sauce smothered all over the plate that makes your mouth dance with each bite. SHORT RIB TAQUITOS (3) (short rib, shredded lettuce, pico, crema, hatch, and Chimayo chile)--This item is not about the meat but all about the sauce. Those dual hatch and Chimayo chile sauces were out-of-this-world delicious. The dual sauce taste countered and balanced really well. Also, the taquitos were fried incredibly well. CEVICHE TOSTADA (white fish, Morita, cilantro, cabbage, pico) - Interesting ceviche uses cooked white (fish) meat instead of raw seafood. Overall, I enjoyed this item but lacked the definition of a traditional ceviche. PIZZA PORT Beer (Ale) - $2 discount during Happy Hour. Cheers to that!

I had such a nice experience here when I came for lunch on a Friday around 12:30pm. My friend and I were seated right away and were checked on frequently. I got a watermelon basil margarita and it was so refreshing! For my entree I got the chicken sandwich and the bread is what stood out to me the most. I loved the combination of flavors between the lime, pickled onions and avocado (which I added). It was definitely giving a refreshing summery sandwich vibe that you can have all year long. Parking is on the street or neighborhood areas but wasn't too bad when I came. I would definitely come back to try other menu items.

Food and ambience is cool but pricing is a little high. I've been here for an event and lunch before. Panxa Cocina specailizes in new Mexican cuisine which includes chilaquiles, quiches, eggs benedicts, and even burgers. Their foods are pretty and and always beautifully presented. They also have an awesome drink menu with margaritas and cocktails. The last time I came here I got their chilaquiles which came with eggs cooked any way you like. I thought it was pretty good. I also had a smokey mango margarita which was enjoyable. The inside of this place is cute and casual. It's a great spot to meet up with friends or family and hang out. It has a great vibe and they have a cool bar area. The staff is always really nice and helpful. Overall its a cool spot to grab brunch or lunch.
