A mistake worth repeating.

They say the first margarita wasn't made, it was improvised.
A man named Francisco "Pancho" Morales; 1942 - Tijuana, Mexico. An unknown drink that was ordered, a "Magnolia".

What came out of that moment was something better than expected - it was the origins of The Margarita.

We’ve taken that spirit of;​ improvisation, intuition, and warmth

 

- and built a restaurant around it.

MEXICAN FOOD WITH MEDITERRANEAN INFLUENCE

Inspired by the gastronomy scene in Mallorca, Panchos Magnolia is a  quiet reimagining of what Latin food can be - where Mexican technique meets the ingredients, restraint, and elegance of the Mediterranean table.

 

This hybridization works because both Mexican and Mediterranean cuisines are rooted in freshness, sharing, and fire cooking.

 

The guest experience will feel familiar but with constant little surprises.​​.

In the details.

Pancho’s Magnolia lives in the golden hour.
Linen curtains and natural light. Draped fabrics and charred stone.

The vibe is relaxed. The energy is calm. The design is tactile — not loud.
It’s a place for slow meals, full glasses, and real conversation.

This is about a new rhythm for dining - one that slows things down without losing soul, and reimagines Latin cuisine through a softer, sunlit lens.
 
Pancho’s Magnolia is grounded, elegant, and emotionally resonant. It belongs anywhere people crave story, restraint, and a little bit of magic.

Built to Influence Behavior. Gently
