I think you’re thinking of El Mageys on siegan close to Perkins


No, he’s thinking of Pancho’s you communist.

The one on Barksdale Boulevard was truly a dinning experience as a child.

Kenner used to have a 2 Amigos that was similar to Panchos after Katrina did them in. Then COVID and Ida got rid of 2 Amigos. 2 Amigos was very similar in concept to Panchos, I heard some former employees of Panchos opened 2 Amigos. They had light system where you turned the light on if you wanted more.

My local Mexican restaurant in Cut Off has a lunch buffet, but I am not impressed, it is one hot bar and is pricey.

Yes, those were great, but the whole enchilada, pardon the pun, was sensory overload as a kid. The one in Bossier made you feel like you were in Old Mexico, or at least what I thought it looked like from Speedy Gonzales cartoons.

I may have put the one on Nicholson out of business with my excessive flag raising.



They suggested to me and my guest that I had eaten enough.

There's one at I-20 and Green Oaks in south Arlington. I go about once a year to defile myself for nostalgic reasons.

Mingo would get anxiety with the thought of going to a Pancho’s

Pancho's was the go-to after a few rounds of bongs

Two Amigos was more Pancho’s than the post-Katrina Pancho’s was.

Damn shame they went out of business. We’d eat there at least once a month.

There is one in Arlington and Ft Worth. Also you raise the Italian flag not the Mexican flag.
