    This is my second visit to El Pocho and I am even more impressed with the total dining experience offered at this local hotspot than I was the first time. Every single dish my table of 6 sampled was so delicious, so beautiful, so perfectly proportioned. Our favourite is the fish tacos and the fried chicken…can’t remember their spanish names, and this time I had the ceviche ...OH MAN are those good! And the cocktails…the lychee margarita! One thing my daughter notes is that the music is appropriate to the Mexican food, and not too loud, which is really important for us as we love to visit during dinner. Considering how busy they were on a Wednesday night the service was super fast. The amazing thing that no one talks about is that El Pocha is a 100% Gluten Free restaurant…right down to the bar. My daughter can order absolutely anything here just based on what sounds good, not on what might be safe. It’s all safe! Well done El Pocho.
