So I have this running debate with my office mate, who is also a regular on here. We went to Pancho's to get some gloriously disgusting grub after a particularly nasty week at work. Afterwards, he swears never to eat there again, makes comparisons to mentos+diet coke+hershey's chocolate syrup, etc. I believe that aggressive diarrhea is part of the charm of this beloved Tine establishment. I'm hoping to start an open and honest dialogue about the pros and cons of the thoedest Mexican buffet out there. Thoughts?

Raise the flag!

I prefer passive aggressive diarrhea

**** you

saw a guy asked to leave one time because he ate too much. he was sitting on two chairs and raised the flag so many times we lost count. this was down in League City a long time ago. I dodn't even think that one is open anymore.

Asked to leave an all-you-can-eat place...wow. I'm impressed. You gotta put the hurt on that flag to make eating there worth it.

Pancho's is no Marco's

Best beef enchiladas in the tine

Are there any left besides the one in the Woodlands??

I went to the old one on Jones road when I was hungover one Sunday morning. Had finished my first plate and was halfway thru my second plate..........when I puked all over the table...

People acted like it wasn't the first time that had happened there.

But I love me some Panchos!!!

The food isn't terrible -- but the after-effects are. Watched a friend eat himself sick at the on in College Station. I tried to warn him, but to no avail. He was sick for at least two days.

More sopapillas please!

I'm pretty sure there is still one on 45 South near Almeda Genoa. Damn, I used to tear up the one at Bissonnet and 59 back in the day.

Is the one at Jones and 1960 closed? I thought it was still there.

Casa Bonitaaaaaaaaaaa!


that South Park episode is even funnier to me as i have been to the actual craphole that is Casa Bonita in Denver.

The sopaphilla is lost with mexican food places nowadays. There is nothing like a good hot one filled with Honey

The one in Humble is still keeping the shopping center it's in alive. Well, that and the dentist office with a parking space in the waiting room.

It was good bang for the buck for my parents when my brother and I were teenagers and ate like horses. We were right by the one at 1960 @ Kuykendahl.

the sprayfactory at Jones/1960 is no more.

I never liked it. We'd go just to get the s***s later. I never understood why people liked it so much?

terrible

If I was within arms length of Captain America, I'd smack him with a cheese enchilada.

Cheap and abundant. My grandma used to take all of us little kiddos there when she would babysit us because it was cheap.

We went my senior year in highschool and tried to see who could eat the most individual menu items off the buffet. Most of us made it into the upper teens or low 20's count, and had to loosen belts, etc. THEN we got into the sopapillas and honey.

We all sat there half comatose for a little while after that...then suddenly someone says "CHEEEEEZE!" really loud, and about 3 dudes headed for the crapper. We all had to waddle out of there, and cursed everyone who said something funny because it was a risk to your underwear to laugh.

Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad!

I went to Casa Bonita long before I even knew what Pancho's was.

I couldn't find a good enough picture of the food at Pancho's. If anyone can find one, I'll be much obliged. Otherwise I'll look again later.

Remember when it was $1.49 to eat there. One still open on Barksdale Rd in Bossier City I believe.

The best part about Pancho's as a kid was the arcade games. After dinner I could usually find another kid from the neighborhood to play Double Dragon or Mortal Combat.

jetch FTW!

my wife's friend has a theory about panchos. it's basically a 5 year cycle - it takes you about 5 years to forget how awful it really is and for your craving to eat there to come back. then you repeat all over again.
