Pancho Villa Mexican Grill: A Love Story

Here’s a love story: Eli, born in Mexico, works as a chef. He comes to the United States and goes to work at a restaurant in California. There he meets Lisa, the daughter of the restaurant owner, and they fall in love, get married and work together. Both are incredible chefs. They come to Lincoln with their four children and open up Pancho Villa Mexican Grill on the north side of town.

They opened about a month ago, and people have been telling me about this restaurant. Once I went there I found out why. Their food was to die for – authentic, absolutely incredible, everything from scratch. The only canned items they have are caned whole tomatoes. All the sauces tasted so fresh.

When I visit a new restaurant, I try to get combination plates to get an idea of the different flavors. On all their tacos, burritos, or enchiladas, they have a choice of meat: two kinds of beef, pork in green sauce, chicken in red sauce, grilled chicken, Mexican style BBQ pork, or grilled steak (carne asada).

I was in heaven. It’s one of those little hideaway places that I love discovering. They’re at 5800 Cornhusker, in the Mercantile Shopping Mall, and they’re open from 10:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

  3. Raw or cooked chicken breasts can be stored safely in a refrigerator at 40°F or lower for several days. The amount of time that it can be refrigerated will depend on the freshness of the meat when purchased, the temperatures it is exposed to in transporting from the store to home refrigeration and the type of packaging used. wholesale chicken wings
