Pachangas restaurant moving to new location

  Published at

IDAHO FALLS — Pachangas is moving to 439 A Street, according to Randy Waters, the managing director of SVN High Desert Commercial. He helped handle the real estate transaction.

Pachangas owner Antonio Meza applied to the Idaho Falls Building Department on March 8 for a building permit to remodel the property, and a peek inside shows extensive remodeling is indeed going on.

Originally on Capital Avenue across from the Bonneville County Courthouse, Pachangas has been at the corner of Park Avenue and B Street for several years. A great location, to be sure — considering that Alive After 5 is right across the street from May to September — but Meza said things were set in motion early this year when his landlord, Thomas Development, the owner of the Earl Building, told him they had a new tenant interested in their space.

He then learned that Jerry and Jeannie Frazzell were looking for a buyer for their property, which had been remodeled as Black Rock Fine Wines and Craft Beer in 2015. Black Rock’s lease was up at the end of March, which put owner Chuck Chute in a scramble pattern. By the end of March, he had moved his operation to 343 Park Avenue, next door to the Samoa Club.

As for the Park Avenue property, there is a Thonton Oliver Keller sign in the window. We’ll be keeping an eye on what happens there as well as at Pachanga’s new digs.
