Panchita'sPlace History
Second daughter of a family of seven girls, Panchita was raised by the matriarch of the family, her mother Chanita. Growing up in a small village in Mexico, Panchita was taught to cook simple yet traditional meals where she excelled and delighted many with her delicious flavors.
Later, as she became a matriarch of her own family, she migrated with her Husband Beto, to the United States where all her children grew up. She began experimenting and combining traditional Mexican meals with her new surroundings and flavors of so many different cultures. Her husband Beto always encourage her to create and teach her children the love of food.
Together they inspired all their children to work hard and dream big, keeping our traditions and history with the ability to adapt and create new flavors in our kitchens.
​
Now her children pay tribute and honor their teachings of great simple mexican flavors with the gift of adaptation.
Inspired by her great food and culinary history, we have created this menu with the help of our Chef Jose Zosayas to honor our Mexican tradition and combine two worlds.
Welcome to Panchita' Place, where great food and comfort is always on the menu. Serving our culinary history one bite at a time.
