"Order was not received like I ordered it. I got the 5 enchilada plate. Replaced bean one with a spicy meat one with chili con carne. It was supposed to have cheese and onions. There was a whisper of cheese, I asked for more, and no onions to be found. The cheese enchilada was also supposed to have onions but found none. Sent back when it came with the bean one not replaced with the spicy meat one. The flavors were nowhere near what I remember as a child, some 60 odd years ago! They even tasted like they had a hint of sugar in them. The chili con carne was horrid in my eyes. I asked for fresh avocado instead of guacamole on the avocado enchilada which was not. It came with the guacamole not as ordered. This was a very big disappointment to me for all the years I have come to El Chico. There was no real butter either. It used to come with tortillas and relish dishes in years gone by but alas, no more. You would think with today's prices that the restaurants would go the extra mile to please. Very sad experience also. Service was lacking. They only checked on me twice before asking for my check. Once to switch out bean enchilada for the spicy meat as ordered and once to ask how it was. I told them not good. They gave no notice to that. Did not get the chance to replace the guacamole one with fresh avocado. The whole restaurant was sad to look at. It had tiles in the middle of replacement with walls and floors showing rough spots where they had been removed and not replaced yet. In the middle of a remodel I guess? I probably will not go back. Vegetarian options: If you want vegetarian there are plenty of choices. I would stick to sauces with no meat in them and no sour cream or cream sauces if milk intolerant. The red and green sauces are probably good for this. Dietary restrictions: I asked for no tomatoes on my salad which they did. Parking: El Chico Pantego store at Park Row and Bowen, Pantego, Tx Kid-friendliness: Did not notice if they had high chairs or boosters seats but probably did? Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of table space for wheelchairs and a handicap accessible stall in bathroom."

"We decided to give Panchos a try as we were in the area and remembered having good experiences in years past. Such a disappointment now. Atmosphere is pleasing, and the whole bar area has been opened with more of a cantina feel--not a bad start. From there it was downhill as our server was barely present throughout the meal. It wasn 't too busy, although she may have had an outdoor table to cover. Long waits for every request...taking the drink order, bring drinks out to the table, taking our food order, etc. We only had a refill of iced tea because the runner who brought our food asked if she could bring anything else. Our waitress did notice that our refills could 've used ice (brewed iced tea a plus), but we only saw the ice at the end of our meal as an afterthought. She wasn 't attentive to our table, and we had to initiate any request to keep her moving. To be fair, we did see other wait staff stepping up to serve their tables--our waitress just didn 't seem to be interested. Food could 've been decent, but as hubby ordered fajitas, it seemed every other component waited somewhere to chill while they were prepared. Only his fajitas came out hot--everything else was tepid at best. I tried the Chicken Suiza, which showed promise, but the congealed cheese left it a better choice for leftovers to heat up tomorrow. Beans and rice on both plates were outright cold. Not much flavor on those at all. We were really hopeful to try a new old favorite, but don 't see ourselves going back."
