Pancho's Mexican Buffet

Pros: buffet, sopapillas homemade, inexpensive
Cons: food could be better

My first visit to Pancho's was in Longview, Texas at the tender age of six. I fell in love. Every time we went shopping in Longview I had to eat at Pancho's (of course Chuck E. Cheese's had closed down!). As an adult, I have found that Mexican food is...

Pros: Cheap fast filling food
Cons: Cheap , get what you pay for

There was a tradition in my family. Since we are from a HUGE family we needed somewhere cheap to go. See my cheapness runs in the family! Family Reunions and special occasions are scary. There are lots of laughing women , and even happier men. My tia's...

Pros: Inexpensive, plentiful ,some good dishes
Cons: on the bland side, horrid taco meat

Put on dark shades, possibly a false nose and mustache-(not recommended for female epinionators), park down the block a bit and sneak into Pancho's before your gourmet friends spot you. Try to look casual and get into that line of tray carriers,...

Pros: Great food, excellent service (raise the flag), and affordable prices.
Cons: I leave too stuffed to move.

I have been a customer of Pancho's since I was old enough to remember eating. Infact, when I was a child my mother informed me that if I wasn't careful I would turn into a walking cheese enchilada (from Pancho's). I was born and raised in the Oklahoma...

Pros: Cheap food, but we all know what it is. That's why we go there!
Cons: This last time was a problem, management and corporate couldn't figure it out

I am 23 years old. For as long as I can remember, I've been exposed to Pancho's Mexican Buffet. The earliest I can remember is when we went to Pancho's in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When we moved to Texas 15 years ago, Pancho's was here too (actually it...

Pros: quick, lots of food
Cons: bland food, poor customer relations

I've been to Pancho's about 3 times, because it's quick and the food is tolerable. Like most Mexican places, the food is highly UNDER seasoned. Taco Mayo has more authentic tasting Mexican food. I realize that many Americans are wimps when it comes to...

Pros: cheap, easy to fill up
Cons: not the tastiest!

I will be the first to admit, Pancho's is not the BEST Mexican restaurant in the world. Any food produced in a large quantity will lack the touch that a professional chef can put to individually prepared meals, but people eat at McDonald's for...

Pros: Reasonable Prices, decent food
Cons: Easy to over eat if you get the buffet!

Poncho's offers an extensive buffet of mexican foods. It is set up cafeteria style where you go through a line and select your food. They have tamales, tacos, burritos, beans, mexican rice, and several different kinds of enchiladas such as Tex Mex,...

Pros: You can get as much food as you would like for one cheap price.
Cons: The food is tasteless, it's loud inside, and you get what you pay for.

Panchos is for families who have a very low income or for those people who love to eat. This is a buffet line- you start out telling the people what you want and they put it on the plates for you. As you sit down and eat, to get more, all you have to ...

Pros: terrible food
Cons: it is a buffet

I am a great fan of Mexican food and I can tell you that Pancho's barely passes for it. Sure, it is an all you-can-eat buffet and they have many choices, but usually one time thru the line is more than enough. After finishing your first plate you are...

Pros: Cheap food, and lots of it
Cons: You better bring your Pepto Bismol to the restaurant with you!

I haven't been to Pancho's in about 15 years, but I remember it oh so well! I was a freshman in college in Texas, living with my newlywed sister and brother-in-law in San Antonio. We were poor, and hungry. For an all-you-can-eat buffet at $3.99 (in...

Pros: Desert bar
Cons: Onions in everything

Our family does not eat onions, and I don't have a problem with those that do. My husband is violently allergic to onions and cannot eat them.
I just don't like them.

My first exposure to Mexican food was Panchos Mexican Buffet back in...

Pros: Good variety
Cons: Service not great sometimes

I have been to Pancho's around the Clear Lake area several times. I am going to offer some pros and cons to eating there.

Pros
1) The food is good. I think they under-season some stuff because they have such a variety of people coming...

Pros: cheap price
Cons: cheaper food

Every couple of years I find myself passing by a Pancho's Mexican Buffet, thinking to myself "Hmmmmm, maybe that wasn't so bad, and I really am hungry". Knowing full well that the last time I left there feeling like a fool, that I didn't...

Pros: If you are hungry you get your belly full.
Cons: The food is really bad most of the time, but my boyfriend loves Panchos

My boyfriend loves Pancho's. He thinks their food is the greatest, but he does not like the service that is given there. Pancho's has a tendency not to enforce customer service on their waiters/waitresses.

As for me there buffet is not all...
