                   PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 1.  Financial Statements

      The consolidated condensed financial statements included herein 
have been prepared by the Company without audit as of June 30, 1995 
and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 1995 
and 1994 pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and 
Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures 
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been 
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although 
the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the 
information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these 
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the 
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 
latest annual report on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of the Company, 
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments 
except as discussed in the notes to consolidated condensed financial 
statements, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the 
Company as of June 30, 1995 and the results of operations and cash 
flows for the indicated periods have been included.  The results of 
operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of 
the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 1995.

      Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, has made 
a limited review of the consolidated condensed financial statements 
as of June 30, 1995 and for the three-month and nine-month periods 
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 included herein.

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             (Unaudited)


1.  NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

    Net earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average 
    number of shares and equivalent shares (including stock options, 
    when dilutive) outstanding during each period.  The weighted 
    average of such shares was 4,398,000 for both the three-months 
    and nine-months ended June 30, 1995, compared to 4,446,000 and 
    4,443,000 for the same periods last year.

2.  RESTRUCTURING COSTS

    In June 1995, the Company adopted a restructuring plan in an 
    effort to return to profitability.  The plan included closing 
    eight to ten underperforming restaurants, and evaluating for 
    potential asset write downs other restaurants operating at lower 
    sales volumes and the Company's constructed but unopened 
    restaurant in Guadalajara, Mexico.

    In connection with the plan, a restructuring charge of $7,572,000 
    before income taxes was recorded for the closing of nine 
    restaurants and the impairment of eight others, including the 
    restaurant in Guadalajara, Mexico.  The charge included 
    $6,624,000 for the write down of leasehold improvements and 
    equipment and $948,000 for remaining lease costs and other exit 
    costs associated with the restaurant closings.  The charge for 
    impairments was determined in accordance with Statement of 
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the 
    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be 
    Disposed Of."

    The assets of closed locations were written down to net 
    realizable value, resulting in an impairment charge of 
    $2,367,000.  The net book value after the write down of property, 
    plant and equipment related to the Company's closed restaurant 
    locations was $663,000 at June 30, 1995.  Management expects to 
    realize over $400,000 of this carrying value through asset sales 
    in the next year.  The remaining restaurant equipment will either 
    be sold or used elsewhere in the Company's operations.  Sales for 
    the nine closed locations were $1,442,000 and $4,652,000, 
    respectively, for the three-months and nine-months ended 
    June 30, 1995.

    An impairment charge of $3,445,000 was recognized during the 
    quarter for seven low sales volume restaurants that the Company 
    intends to continue to operate.  Due to the low or negative 
    projected cash flows of these restaurants, fair value of the 
    assets was based upon their estimated resale value.








                                 -5-

<PAGE>
    As a result of the economic crisis in Mexico stemming from the 
    December 1994 peso devaluation, the Company's investment in a 
    restaurant in Guadalajara was also evaluated for impairment and a 
    charge of $812,000 was recorded.  Fair value of the assets was 
    estimated based upon the discounted expected future cash flows 
    from operation of the restaurant.

    Current and deferred income tax benefits of $2,366,000 were 
    recognized in the United States in connection with the 
    restructuring.  No tax benefits were currently recognized for the 
    write down of assets in Mexico.

    During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company reported a 
    pre-tax benefit of $264,000 related to a reevaluation of 
    previously established restructuring reserves.  The reevaluation 
    resulted from the sale of a restaurant site purchased for 
    expansion in 1989 in Jacksonville, Florida and the sublease of a 
    closed restaurant location in Littleton, Colorado.

3.  LONG-TERM DEBT

    The Company's revolving credit and term loan agreement ("Loan 
    Agreement") with a bank includes various financial covenants.  As 
    a result of the net losses incurred by the Company in each of the 
    three quarters ended June 30, 1995, the Company violated certain 
    of these covenants.  The bank has subsequently granted permanent 
    waivers for each of these covenant violations.  However, in order 
    to obtain the bank waivers, the Company has agreed to 
    collateralize the loan with substantially all of its assets, and 
    is in the process of completing the necessary legal documents to 
    provide the bank with such collateral.

    In February 1995, the Loan Agreement was amended to increase the 
    revolving credit line to $12 million through December 31, 1995 
    and extend its termination date to March 1, 1997.  The credit 
    line reverts to $10 million effective January 1, 1996.  At June 
    30, 1995, the Company had $1,690,000 available under the bank 
    credit line.

4.  CASH DIVIDEND

    On July 28, 1995, the Company's board of directors declared a 
    $.015 per common share quarterly cash dividend.  The dividend 
    will be paid on September 12, 1995 to holders of record on 
    August 29, 1995.

5.  STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS RECLASSIFICATION

    The statement of operations has been reformatted to provide more 
    detailed information on costs and expenses.  Prior period amounts 
    have been reclassified to conform to the current period 
    presentation.

                   INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


Pancho's Mexican Buffet, Inc.:

We have made a review of the consolidated condensed balance sheet of 
Pancho's Mexican Buffet, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995, 
and the related consolidated condensed statements of operations for 
the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 
and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 
1994.  These consolidated condensed financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by 
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of 
interim financial information consists principally of obtaining an 
understanding of the system for the preparation of interim financial 
information, applying analytical review procedures to financial data 
and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and 
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit 
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the 
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the 
financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not 
express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications 
that should be made to the consolidated condensed financial 
statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

We previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1994, 
and related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity 
and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in 
our report dated November 4, 1994, we expressed an unqualified 
opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, 
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed 
balance sheet as of September 30, 1994, is fairly stated in all 
material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from 
which it has been derived.

                   PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
        Condition and Results of Operations


Financial Condition

As of June 30, 1995, the Company's current ratio was 0.7 to 1, which 
was unchanged compared to September 30, 1994.  Cash and cash 
equivalents decreased $1,132,000 during the nine-month period to a 
balance of $529,000 at June 30, 1995, as cash provided by operating 
and financing activities was exceeded by capital expenditures.

Operating activities provided net cash of $1,206,000 for the 
nine-month period ended June 30, 1995, compared to $4,496,000 for the 
same period last year.  The Company incurred a net loss of $6,073,000 
during the 1995 period, versus a net profit of $1,683,000 in 1994.  
The 1995 period included a pre-tax, largely non-cash restructuring 
charge of $7,572,000 for restaurant closings and impairments.  
Operating cash flow decreased due largely to the decline in 
profitability.

Financing activities, which provided cash of $3,986,000 during the 
nine-month period, consisted primarily of net long term borrowings of 
$4,470,000 and the payment of quarterly cash dividends.

Investing activities used $6,352,000 of cash during the nine-month 
period.  Cash was used for the construction of new restaurants, 
remodeling of existing restaurants, restaurant computer system 
installations and payment of accrued construction costs from the 
prior year.  Two new Pancho's Mexican Buffet restaurants, in Pasadena 
and Baytown, Texas, were opened during the nine-month period and two 
former Emiliano's Buffet Mexicano restaurants were reopened as 
Pancho's.  A third Pancho's was opened in Galveston, Texas on July 
13, 1995.

The Company has also entered into a joint venture to build and 
operate a restaurant in Guadalajara, Mexico which is now expected to 
open in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 (see "Other Uncertainties 
and Trends").  No additional new restaurants are planned at this 
time, as management intends to focus on improving sales and 
profitability and reducing debt.  Capital expenditures to remodel 
existing restaurants and install restaurant computer systems will 
continue within the constraint of available operating cash flow.

The Company's revolving credit and term loan agreement ("Loan 
Agreement") with a bank includes various financial covenants.  As a 
result of the net losses incurred by the Company in each of the three 
quarters ended June 30, 1995, the Company violated certain of these 
covenants.  The bank has subsequently granted permanent waivers for 
each of these covenant violations.  However, in order to obtain the 
bank waivers, the Company has agreed to collateralize the loan with 
substantially all of its assets, and is in the process of completing 
the necessary legal documents to provide the bank with such 
collateral.




                                 -8-

<PAGE>
Management is taking steps to ensure that the Company will be able to 
comply with all of its covenants under the Loan Agreement in the 
future.  However, should the bank decline to waive a future covenant 
violation, the bank would be required under the Loan Agreement to 
give the Company 30 days written notice of the violation, after which 
time the Company would be in default.  At the bank's option, it could 
then declare the loan principal and all accrued interest current and 
payable and/or refuse to make additional advances on the credit line. 
 The Company could then be forced to seek alternative sources of 
financing.

In February 1995, the Loan Agreement was amended to increase the 
revolving credit line to $12 million through December 31, 1995 and 
extend its termination date to March 1, 1997.  The credit line 
reverts to $10 million effective January 1, 1996.  At June 30, 1995, 
the Company had $1,690,000 available under the line.

On July 28, 1995, the Company's board of directors declared a $.015 
per common share quarterly cash dividend.  The dividend will be paid 
on September 12, 1995 to holders of record on August 29, 1995.  The 
dividend was reduced from a quarterly rate of $.03 per share to $.015 
per share due to the Company's recent financial performance.  Future 
cash dividends will depend on earnings, financial position, capital 
requirements and other relevant factors.


Results of Operations

Sales decreased $1,379,000 (6.3%) and $2,504,000 (3.9%) for the 
three-months and nine-months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same 
periods last year.  New restaurants provided $2.3 million and $7.6 
million, respectively, in additional revenue for the quarter and 
nine-months, and a price increase in December 1993 added 
approximately $839,000 to sales for the nine-months.  Lower 
comparable store sales, however, along with reduced revenue due to 
restaurant closings and the outsourcing of the Company's grocery 
distribution operation in September 1994, more than offset these 
increases.

Average sales for restaurants open throughout the current three-month 
and nine-month periods were $302,000 and $896,000 compared to 
$310,000 and $910,000 for the same periods a year ago.  
Comparable-store sales (sales for restaurants open throughout the 
period in both fiscal 1995 and 1994) were down 13.1% for the third 
quarter of 1995 compared to being up 9.2% last year.  Year-to-date, 
comparable store sales were down 11.8% compared to an increase of 
13.1% in 1994.  Comparable-store sales for the first nine months of 
fiscal 1994 reflect record increases, primarily due to the completion 
of an aggressive soup/salad and dessert bar conversion program, 
effective television advertising and a December 1993 price increase.

Food costs as a percentage of sales increased 2.2% and 1.5% for the 
three-months and nine-months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same 
periods a year ago.  Recipe and food offering changes, combined with 
higher produce and shortening prices, resulted in the increases.  
Food offerings, preparation methods and recipes were modified during 
the Company's fiscal third quarter to improve quality and preserve 
variety while lowering product cost.  The benefit of these changes, 
as well as seasonally lower produce prices, should be fully realized 
in the quarter ending September 30, 1995.


                                 -9-

<PAGE>
Restaurant labor and related expenses as a percentage of sales 
increased 1.7% and 1.9% for the current three-month and nine-month 
periods compared to the same periods in 1994.  Sharply lower 
comparable-store sales raised labor costs as a percentage of sales in 
established restaurants, while normally higher labor costs in new 
stores also contributed to the increase, particularly in the first 
quarter.

Restaurant operating expenses as a percentage of sales for the 
current three-month and nine-month periods were 23.7% and 22.9% 
compared to 22.6% and 21.6% for the same periods last year.  
Relatively fixed costs, such as rent and utilities, generally 
increased as a percentage of sales in the current three-month and 
nine-month periods due to lower comparable-store sales.

Depreciation and amortization increased $23,000 and $93,000 for the 
three-months and nine-months ended March 31, 1995 compared to the 
prior year.  Restaurant closings and impairments are expected to 
reduce depreciation expense by approximately $240,000 a quarter.  
This decrease will be offset somewhat by the opening of restaurants 
in Galveston, Texas and Guadalajara, Mexico.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales 
increased 0.2% and 0.5%, respectively, for the current three-month 
and nine-month periods compared to the same periods last year, 
primarily due to lower sales.

In June 1995, the Company adopted a restructuring plan in an effort 
to return to profitability.  The plan included closing eight to ten 
underperforming restaurants, and evaluating for potential asset write 
downs other restaurants operating at lower sales volumes and the 
Company's constructed but unopened restaurant in Guadalajara, Mexico.

In connection with the plan, a restructuring charge of $7,572,000 
before income taxes was recorded for the closing of nine restaurants 
and the impairment of eight others, including the restaurant in 
Guadalajara, Mexico.  The charge included $6,624,000 for the write 
down of leasehold improvements and equipment and $948,0020 for 
remaining lease costs and other exit costs associated with the 
restaurant closings.  The charge for impairments was determined in 
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, 
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for 
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."  Sales for the nine closed 
locations were $1,442,000 and $4,652,000, respectively, for the 
three-months and nine-months ended June 30, 1995.  See Note 2 to 
consolidated condensed financial statements for more information.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company reported a 
pre-tax benefit of $264,000 related to a reevaluation of previously 
established restructuring reserves.  The reevaluation resulted from 
the sale of a restaurant site purchased for expansion in 1989 in 
Jacksonville, Florida and the sublease of a closed restaurant 
location in Littleton, Colorado.

Interest expense increased $167,000 and $392,000 for the current 
three-month and nine-month periods compared to the same periods in 
1994 due to increased debt, higher interest rates and less interest 
capitalization due to reduced construction activity.



                                -10-

<PAGE>
Significant current and deferred income tax benefits were recognized 
for the current three-month and nine-month periods as a result of 
restructuring charges and operating losses.  Income tax assets were 
recognized for these benefits based upon tax loss carry back 
opportunities and the Company's long history of taxable income.  No 
tax benefits were currently recognized for the write down of assets 
in Mexico.

Due to restructuring charges, weak sales and other factors discussed 
above, the Company reported a net loss of $5,873,000 for the 
nine-month period ended June 30, 1995 compared to net earnings of 
$1,683,000 for the same period last year.  These results were far 
below the expectations of both management and the investment 
community, including those viewpoints expressed on Page 6 of the 
Company's annual report under the caption "What Wall Street Says 
About Pancho's Mexican Buffet"(1).  Management believes that 
appropriate actions are being taken to return the Company to 
consistent profitability.  However, the restaurant industry is 
intensely competitive, and the Company's future earnings will largely 
depend on its ability to generate a sustained improvement in sales.


Other Uncertainties and Trends

Mexico is currently experiencing an economic crisis stemming from the 
December 1994 devaluation of the Mexican peso.  The Company has 
substantially completed construction of the building and installation 
of equipment for its planned restaurant in Guadalajara, Mexico, but 
has delayed the restaurant opening to make adjustments in menu and 
purchasing plans due to the high cost of imported food products in 
Mexico following the devaluation.

Management believes that the economic difficulties in Mexico will 
have a long-term negative impact on the Company's planned restaurant 
operations, and, accordingly, an impairment charge of $812,000 was 
recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  See Note 2 to 
consolidated condensed financial statements.

However, the long-term impact of this economic crisis on the 
Company's planned restaurant operations is difficult to estimate.  
The Company has invested $1.5 million in this restaurant and expects 
that an additional $200,000 investment will be required.  If the 
Company's restaurant performs below current projected levels, 
additional operating, impairment or restaurant closing losses could 
be recognized in future periods.  Future Company restaurant 
development in Mexico will depend upon the success of the Guadalajara 
restaurant.
