I hope the one in humble is still open.

I've never been to that one, just the one off I-45. I wonder if it's an original looking one.

I used to go to the Pancho's in Bossier all the time with my Dad when I was in school. I came back 20 years later and went just for old time sake. The food was worse than it ever had been. I knew something was wrong when they had fried chicken on the buffet. They never used to have that. I wasn't really surprised when it closed down.

I experienced the Bazooka effect after my last trip to the one on Nicholson back in the mid-80's.

Luckily I made it to the bathroom just in time and there was a wastebasket with a plastic liner in it next to the toilet so there was no nasty cleanup required afterwards. That was the only time I ever remember experiencing projectile vomiting and explosive diarrhea at the same time. It was awesome.

That was my last time after having already sworn off of them years earlier. I knew better but stupidly let myself get talked into going.

Used to go to the one on Nicholson. Guaranteed you would go home and fall asleep as it expanded in your stomach then be awakened by the need to run to the bathroom. But it was cheap.

I remember when the 'new' location on Siegen opened. Everyone was so excited and for the first several weeks there was a line out the door no matter when you went. The first time I went there was an hour wait... And I waited. All that hype sure died down quickly -- 2 years later the place was dead empty.

Nowadays if I'm in the mood to gorge myself on crappy Mexican food I go to El Magey. I think it's surprisingly decent.
