Winner: Panchito’s Mexican Restaurant
Multiple locations
Roy and Evelyn Reyes opened their first Panchito’s in 1980 in Southwest San Antonio and quickly developed a following for their enchiladas and menudo, both of which taste even better when accompanied by the spot’s not-to-be-missed tortillas. Panchito’s two current locations boast colorful interiors and affable waitstaffs, though we suspect the business’ deft hand at two San Antonio staples may be the principal draw. Lots of people serve enchiladas and menudo in the 2-1-0. Few have them down to this kind of Tex-Mex science.
