Our Story
More Than a Restaurant.
A Promise.
Pancho 5 was created from a place of love, remembrance, and purpose. The name honors our son and brother, JT — known to many as "Pancho." The number 5, his lucky number, represents strength, unity, and the bond we share as a family.
What began as a tribute has grown into something greater — a place where his spirit lives on through every guest we welcome. Pancho 5 is more than just a restaurant; it is a reflection of family, brotherhood, and community.
We built this space with the intention of bringing people together — to share meals, create memories, and feel at home. Every detail, every dish, and every experience is rooted in the love that inspired it.
Here, everyone is family. And every visit helps keep his legacy alive.

Brother JT "Pancho" — Que Dog Forever
JT was a proud member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. — a brotherhood built on the principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift. His dedication to brotherhood extended far beyond the fraternity, touching every life he encountered. That same spirit of brotherhood is woven into the very foundation of Pancho 5.
"Friendship is Essential to the Soul."
