Pericos Mexican Cuisine was derived from Panchito’s Mexican Restaurants. The owners of Panchito’s, Roy and Evelyn Reyes, opened their first restaurant in 1980 on the Southwest side of San Antonio. With hard work and dedication, the two successfully developed Panchito’s into what it is today.

Evelyn’s parents, Frank and Lupe Sepulveda, helped the two get the business off and running. And, throughout the years, Roy’s parents, Santos and Aurora Reyes, have been very helpful and supportive with their business ventures. As can be seen, the restaurants are known for being very family-oriented and plan on continuing the same tradition.

There are two Pericos locations in San Antonio. They are owned and operated by Roy and Evelyn’s son, Russell Reyes. Pericos, using the same family recipes, offers true authentic Mexican food while providing a magnificently multi-colored parrot theme throughout the restaurant.
