"Everything remains just as we remembered. This location on Hwy 45 South is clean, the service is friendly, and the delicious Tex-Mex cuisine tastes exactly the same as it did back in the day. (Just a heads up, the Hwy 45 North location is a different story, unfortunately.) My family has fond memories of special dinner outings at the Bellaire, TX location, while my husband's family enjoyed meals at the Spring Branch spot during the 1960s and 1970s. After we got married in the 1980s, our kids would look forward to their annual family birthday dinners at the SW Houston/Hwy 59 location. We can't wait to return soon and share this experience with our children and their children, so they can create their own wonderful memories while raising the flag. More soppapillas, please!"

The worst experience I've ever had. There was no one present, and the doors were locked.

Service and Food were good, haven't been to a Panchos in over 15 years since they left Arizona. Was not disappointed. A great place to bring the family.

I'm sorry but I have to be honest. The food looked ok but no flavor in anything. Put it this way. My table didn't finish their first plate, much less get seconds. Staff was cool though. View menu

We just left Panchos in Humble and OH MY GOSH! This is the cleanest restaurant and friendliest people!! We will be coming back next time we’re in this area!! This brought back so many childhood memories with my family.

Experience was alright. All the food tasted as if they were a few days old. The Salsa for the chips tasted expired.Been going here since I was a kid and each year the quality keeps going down.The only thing that felt fresh was the Sopapillas

My family loves Panchos! I grew up eating here. Birthday dinners every year, wearing the sombrero and getting a piñata! Good memories. I live in Tn now and I must say when I go back home, I always make a stop here. Would love one here!! Hoping to come again soon! View menu

It's been years since our last visit, and my mother-in-law used to adore coming here for the sopapillas and honey. The food itself deserves three stars for taste and quality, and the portions are generous. The fourth star, however, goes to the sweet little lady who brought us everything we requested with a radiant smile. We made sure to give her a generous tip because she truly deserved it. They also have a dessert bar with churros, chocolate cake, and cookies, and the churros were quite good. I still remember on our last visit, I humorously raised a white flag to signal our surrender—hey, I’m easily entertained!

I’ve been going to Pancho’s since the 1st one opened in El Paso, TX over 60 years ago! My Dad even talked the owner into opening Pancho’s in the Houston, TX area (where we later moved to) That’s when Pancho’s first opened in Pasadena, TX. I grew up eating out at Pancho’s, so did my kidd’os and grandkids! So, I must ask…why did you change the recipe?!?!! The chili relleno’s look and taste completely different, and the green chili stew is not green nor does it even taste similar to the green chili stew I knew from Pancho’s! All this changed in a year!! I visited Houston last year and could hardly wait to enjoy a great Pancho dinner. This year…what a huge disappointment. The service though was...

"Food good. Location good. Service good. BUT, the hidden charges REALLY ruined an otherwise nice experience. Example: HH menu lists Martinis as a $3 upcharge to the $7 base charge. Fair enough. Bombay is a listed alcohol; requested. When the bill was returned I was charged for a Bombay Sapphire which is not on the HH list. Charge? $11 $3. I asked for Bombay, not Bombay Sapphire. Waiter: Oh, let me look into that. AND, by the way Blue Cheese olives? Extra $1. REALLY? I 've NEVER paid extra for BC olives ANYWHERE. AND the confusing menus that a dish as including an extra sauce, [and I don 't recall the exact language but it made it seem that an additional items could be selected as well. Oops, there goes an extra $10.95. AND, the waiter recommending a twice-baked potato. Bah, boom, another $5.95. [which in fairness is disclosed on the menu in a different location, but waiter made it sound as if it was a no-charge option on the surf and turf. AND the split plate charge which I don 't think was disclosed on the menu. Ding, ding, extra $3.00. Was this a waiter, who was overly up-selling or restaurant deception? Don 't know. As I said, the food WAS good. AND, the ambience [at least in the bar area, stay away of the hotel-ballroom-like main dining area was nice. Just beware the nickel and dime charges that the waiter won 't be disclosing to you."
