Colorful cantina serving time-honored Mexican dishes with an inventive drink list.
"Mexican-influenced eatery Pancito & Lefty opened in February 2017, after much anticipation, but the owner announced today that the cantina is no more. The original menu from chef/owner Robert Berry offered dishes like chicken tamales, tacos al pastor, queso fundido, quesadillas with squash, mushrooms, and huitalacoche, and many traditional Mexican dishes. In November 2017, chefs Greg Marks, Reid Henninger, and Corey Phillips were brought in to oversee the kitchen day to day. The menu changed as new chefs circulated through the restaurant." - Erin Perkins
"For those who haven’t already snapped up a copy Holy Sprits! from Charleston’s own Cocktail Bandits, the duo will host a book party at cantina Pancito & Lefty. Authors Taneka Reaves and Johnny Caldwell will sign books and hop behind the bar to sling drinks. Stop by on Friday, July 6, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. for some fun with tequila (and other spirits)." - Erin Perkins
"Mexican cantina Pancito & Lefty locked the doors after a year and a half serving tacos and mezcal." - Erin Perkins
