You know when you go into a place that has been around a long time, with lots of decorations… Usually has a build up of dust all over, especially those higher up spots. Happy to say, this place is super clean. Looks so very new. The food was really good, and happy to say service was even better than the food. I absolutely miss having a location in South East part of town, this location nearly ah hour away. For people who have been nostalgic about how they remember going years ago…. Go!!!! Well worth the trip.

“All the Federales say…”
My mom had enough children to field her own basketball team. So when we went out to eat “buffet” almost always appeared somewhere on the restaurant’s sign. And visiting Pancho’s on Long Point was extra special.
But that Pancho’s closed long ago and now if you get a hankerin’ for a Chili Relleno the color of a kitchen sponge you gotta head up 59 to Humble.
Yesterday I did have that hankerin’ and I did head up 59. It’s actually only about 30 minutes which by my Houston Drive Time calculations is practically right next door.
I got all the things – taquitos and flautas and four different kinds of enchiladas and Piccadillo and Calabacitas (squash stew) and tamales and so many different kinds of macaroni (because this Mexican restaurant is in Humble) and of course the unnaturally yellow Chili Relleno and slathered it all liberally in Chili & Cheese. Tasted just the same as it did when I was twelve, which is to say fairly meh Mexican food for gringos. But it made my heart happy because it brought back so many great memories: birthday parties and baseball celebrations and when my huge Uncles would go and leave the flag at half-mast so the waitress would know to bring them “something anything” every time she passed by. They were jackasses.
And let’s be honest – we all just REALLY went for the sopapillas! Is there a better, more simple, simply delishes dessert anywhere? For real. Lemme know if you know one cuz I sure don’t. Yes I ate those bad boys til I couldn’t eat no more.
That was a great little lunch trip, y’all.

This is the restaurant my family ALWAYS went to when I was growing up. The food is plentiful. Staff were helpful. The wait was long, but there was a table immediately available once I got my buffet plate. Sure, it’s not fine dining. It’s bulk BUT it’s about family, memories, and the sopapillas.

Worthy of 5-Stars for the Nostalgia factor alone for me. When I was a young troop in the Air Force, me and the other guys would eat at Pancho’s in Fort Worth, TX because the food was good, it was inexpensive and the Sopapillas with Honey gave us Superpowers! OK, maybe not superpowers, but they were awesome, hot and delicious! I’m so glad I was able to “Raise the Flag” once again in my life at Pancho’s!

Classic that needs an extra TLC.
Service and atmosphere:
Outstanding service. Very friendly and helpful staff – five stars.
The restaurant still has its charm but may need a bit of refresh in my opinion.
This buffet was famous for raising a flag at the table to have service members to get you more food from the buffet area.
Food:
The food was okay. The buffet offers typical Mexican food options. A bit more variety would be a bonus.

Food is served hot and on a hot plate. The cheese enchiladas are my favorite and so are the tamales w/chili gravy. Everyone in my group loved the red chilli stew. I love it over rice. The sopapillas are made fresh to order; please enjoy with honey.
Servers were kind and willing to serve!

Visited Pancho’s Mexican Buffet – near Humble and it’s exactly how you remember it. Old school, nothing has changed. The buffet looked clean and the food seemed hot. If you like that style of Tex-Mex buffet, you’ll probably enjoy it.
I personally went just for the sopapillas, which are still the best part. They’re fresh and delicious. However, I was told I couldn’t sit and eat them there after paying, so I had to take them to go. They now give Kraft honey packets, which suck and really takes away from the original exp
Between not being able to dine in and the honey downgrade, it was a thumbs down for me. Sopapillas still good. Everything else? Not for me.

It’s exactly part buffet, part cafeteria.
You enter and go through a line where you can get anything you want but you are served (probably to make sure you didn’t waste, which I am cool with) you also order your drink here, then you pay and then you are desired where there is salad, salsa, desserts and a few other things, which you can go back for as much as you wish.
The staff was super friendly and will bring things to your table, if you wish. Just raise the Mexican flag on your table.
Seniors get a discount.
Not good for vegans but a vegetarian will find things to eat!

It had been 19 years since I had eaten at a “Pancho’s, but it was just as i remember. Very pleasant atmosphere, staff was attentive to our needs. My 79 year old mom was with me, her highlight was the basket of fresh hot sopapillas. Memories
