Pancho Villa's Mexican Grill & Entertainment

In 1976 becoming the owner of a successful restaurant business was just a vision in the eyes of Francisco J. Jara. Throughout the years he worked hard in several local restaurant establishments where he learned the tricks of the trade. Francisco knew that the only way to accomplish his goals was going to be through hard work, determination, and the most important component “family”. Mr. Jara could only hope one day of opening up his own Mexican Restaurant offering live Mariachi Music. Several years later, in May 1988 Francisco J. Jara opened up his first restaurant, “Pancho Villa’s” located on Cherry Avenue in the City of Fontana, which is still operating to this date. The first few years were difficult but with the support of his wife and children and plenty of hard work Pancho Villa’s legacy was born. In 1991 the Juniper Avenue location in the City of Fontana opened up its doors to the public. This was the first Mexican Restaurant to offer live Entertainment in the Inland Empire. Pancho Villa’s became the home of the World’s Greatest Mariachi Internacional de Mexico de Francisco J. Jara, the overwhelming demand for the well known Mariachi group continues even after all these years.
