"A little piece of our homeland" is how Don Pancho describes Palenque Grill, the Ochoa family's latest venture. It began in 2005 in Laredo, Texas, after Don Pancho's long journey in the restaurant business. In 1975, he started with El Pollo Loco in his hometown of Guasave, Mexico. The chain expanded across Mexico and then to the U.S., with Brad Pitt once handing out flyers. In 1987, he created Taco Palenque, a successful Mexican fast casual chain. Don Pancho's dream was always to open a full-service restaurant with live music, which he achieved with Palenque Grill alongside his son Carlos in 2005. The Ochoa family plays a key role in the restaurant's success, with family recipes on the menu. Palenque Grill offers 100% Mexican food, featuring the flavors of Mexico's North Pacific Coast, including Sinaloa, Sonora, and Baja California.
