Gave K Pacho another visit and rated it 4 stars. I had the nachos, spicy Mexican wings, and a passion fruit margarita. The wings were the highlight—crispy, flavorful, and had the perfect amount of heat. The nachos, which I’ve loved in the past, didn’t hit the same this time—maybe just an off night. The margarita was a bit too sweet for my taste. Still, the vibes and service were solid, and the wings alone are worth the trip. I’ll definitely be back to try more - Sammer Nasar
