ABOUT

At just 17 years old, he migrated from Michoacán, Mexico to start a new life in the United States (1950's). He worked in the construction industry and saved every penny. As the years went on, his migration to the U.S. forced him to leave his wife and children. After many months of being a part, the family reunited when they moved to Denver, CO in 1972. Eventually, in pursuit of new opportunities, they migrated to Pittsburg, CA in 1977. He continued to work in the construction industry while his wife took multiple positions as a cook in Mexican restaurants. She brought her own style of authentic recipes that were clearly above and beyond the competition. Then, after years of hard work and leveraging their savings, they opened the first Los Panchos Restaurant in Pacheco in 1991. The name originated from a famous trio of musicians that were popular in the 1940's. With long hours and many personal sacrifices, the family laid the foundation for the Los Panchos Restaurant chain. The success is founded on the strong family values, authentic home-style cooking and a family-oriented atmosphere.
