When I was a kid in the 1970s, my parents and I went to the Pancho's off SW Loop 820 and Old Granbury Rd. for many years. That one moved to the shopping center on Old Granbury Rd and Hulen, facing Old Granbury Rd. It took up part of the space Buddy's supermarket used to be in many moons ago. I've lived in the "Mid-Cities" since 1991, and used to go to the long-departed Euless, Texas location frequently on Industrial Blvd and Hwy 10. I also went to the North Richland Hills location on Hwy 26 across from Golden Corral several times. That Pancho's was in the building where Shoney's used to be. Most recently, I went to the newest one on Rufe Snow in North Richland Hills, but it closed during or just after the worst of COVID. It was real good when I first went to that new one, but last time I was there, it had gone downhill. Then it closed.
Drove all the way from east tx.area to eat here before it was delicious.Please keep it open as well as the others for your faithful customers.We love Ponchos.Its an icon for Texas!!!!
Oh wow, I never thought I'd see the Pancho's line again. Thanks so much for uploading this! I grew up with Panchos in Metairie (a suburb of New Orleans). We got a bag of tacos and sopapillas for takeout a lot and also dined in. I remember the long line and the partition very well! This one looks so much like the one I remember. Pancho's sopapilla is the baseline I judge all sopapillas. Every single one since has been lacking.
Day One Minecraft I sure miss the Metairie one too. This one in the video looks just like it. I also remember the long lines and being starving haha. They tore it down after Katrina. I still look for the old place but they built something new there and it's confusing to find the old spot. I can still hear them singing the happy birthday song. 🥑🌶🌮🍴
I know y’all! They closed here over 12 years ago and just tore the building down last summer! Of course Posados was right across the street and that probably took a lot of their business. Loved it!!
Blast from the Past. Our Main Pancho's Restaurant was on Piedmont St. in Houston I believe it. Here in Ohio 2023, Today Is Enchilada Day, I'm here to see the White Chicken Enchiladas, Yayy!! I did See in the Video. I had them only once in my Life. Ahh the Rice&Beans, Chalupas&Tacos. raising the Flag, please bring me 4,5,6 more tacos and 1 Chalupas. I'm making Chicken Enchiladas if I can find recipe. The Red Beef Enchiladas are easy to make. The only Tamales I get now is if I make my own. But my Tamales Need Much Improvements.. I can and do make the Sopapillas. My Daughter still remembers me taking her there in early 90s. Thanks For Video, As soon as the front door was opened, The Smells I Remembered Came Back All Soo Well... Panza Llena,Corazon Contento..
Grew up in the 90s going to Panchos out in Oak Cliff that was next to an old Blockbuster where my cousin and I would go to on the weekends. There was an old Pizza Patron there too before you could find them everywhere. Charbroiler, Jerry's Tacos, Taqueria Chanos, all within like a 2 mile radius.
Ah! Pre-Covid days! Alot less people seem to be here tonight at about 6:55pm. Still brings back memories of when I used to eat at the Pleasant Grove location as a young buck! Love me some Pancho's! 🇲🇽🌮🫔
Just to let you know that the very first Panchos Mexican Buffet opened up in 1958 in my home town of El Paso, Texas. The price for the buffet back then was $1.76. And one of them was right up my street on McRae Blvd. five minutes from my house. It was also headquartered here in El Paso until the owners moved it to Fort Worth, Texas in 1966. They then opened up more places later on. The original taste is probably not the same anymore. Oh well. I sure do miss it though. One side note though... they also own Carlos and Mickeys Mexican restaurant on Magruder Street which is still open in El Paso.
Damn made my mouth water miss the one in Phoenix Az wish they would bring it back I miss the tacos tostadas rellaños rice n beans tamales shoot everything about Ponchos was great!!!!
Spike R Albuquerque location is where I would go as a kid. Sad when they closed. But when I saw they had one in TX when I lived there a few I was so excited I had to film it for my family back home.
@@Jazzombie666 Thank you for filming it! Just the sight of the plates brings back great memories. I live in Las Vegas NV now but I think it might be worth the 17 hr drive haha!
Was told the Panchos on Marback closed. Wish we had Panchos in NE San Antonio. Please! Yes, San Antonio has good Mexican restaurants but none so good as Panchos with the delectable, delicious chile rellenos. How on earth could they make these heavenly delights with the lighter than air, spongy crust. The fried rellenos are just not as wonderful. Please come to San Antonio! We love you!
For my New Orleans folks , check out " 2 amigos " Classic real panchos food ,run by some former employees of old school panchos. It's not far from esplanade mall.
@@maxinemccartney5284 old comment. But if you haven’t went that did. I believe it was a couple of the workers at ponchos after closing opened 2 amigos. So decor was different but the menu food look taste an all were ponchos. Unfortunately though Covid I believe killed it off.
I'm really surprised this Pancho's is still around. It's the only one left in Fort Worth. I haven't ate there since I was a kid. I've gone by to the take out corner to get sopapillas but even that's been a good 4 years at least.
There are only 2 panchos left in North Texas. One in Arlington and one in Fort worth. Their used to be one in mesquite and Duncanville before they closed.
There used to be a group of us that would go to the one in Metairie and do serious damage to the profits that night + 2 or 3 32 oz. margaritas. You rest good that night.

Here in Louisiana also. Just wish I knew even a couple of the recipes the way they done them. Tried many times.
I miss this place! Used to go in Albuquerque as a kid but they closed. Didn’t realize there were locations open in Texas! Road trip!!

We use to have them in New Mexico. I miss it. I loved their flautas and taquitos. 😭😭😭
I miss this place on san mateo and Montgomery
@@Cobrakailives yup where i took my first date. 😂😂😂 she actually liked it.
I miss Pancho's. I grew up going to the one on Spencer highway in Pasadena that has now been converted into a pool hall. What a waste!
Not the same cups that we had in Phoenix, Arizona when I worked at ponchos, they were plain red😮 and no green beans.
Hello . Looks like a great place to get some eats . Much love and respect . FFP
No fried burritos?!? Omg I miss Panchos😫 They need to bring it back to El Paso!!!
Was this the one right before Fort Worth on 35?
For my New Orleans folks , check out " 2 amigos " Classic real panchos food ,run by some former employees of old school panchos. It's not far from esplanade mall.
Do they have the original rellenos?

Lucky!!!!!!!
I want to make the flags or buy them for the tables in my classroom. It was a great way to signal "I need attention".
I think I just gained 10 pounds watching this
jjh lk a good 10

Looks a lot better than the one in south dallas

There are only 2 panchos left in North Texas. One in Arlington and one in Fort worth. Their used to be one in mesquite and Duncanville before they closed.
My aunt worked at the one that used to be on Granbury Rd. I crave it a lot lmao
Was that the one in the Westcliff shopping center off Old Granbury Rd, or where it moved to on Old Granbury Rd and Hulen?
@@MisterMikeTexas yes the one that was in the westcliff shopping center
Seems high though 28 dollars for 2
0:24 , 4:07
Looks good
There used to be a group of us that would go to the one in Metairie and do serious damage to the profits that night + 2 or 3 32 oz. margaritas. You rest good that night.
OMG, are there any other Restaurants still open anywhere, do you know?
Yummy!!!
How much is it?
Which one did you used to go to?
It was in Albuquerque NM
GET THOSE GREEN BEANS AWAY OMG
I thought it is a buffet, why are the workers serving
It's actually more like a Mexican cafeteria. old school. they are great. I hate that they are almost extinct.
That's seconds or 3rds....lol
I haven’t been since the 90’s, but there were waitresses in the dining room that would bring you whatever else you wanted.
Your supposed to raise the flag and the server will bring you more food until you are full.
