Pancheros Mexican Grill

Pancheros really comes down to two things for me: freshly pressed tortillas and nostalgia.

The tortillas are the main reason to go a Pancheros restaurant. You don't know good tortilla flavor until you've had it freshly made right in front of you, and you don't get that at any other fast casual burrito place around here. There's so much flavor in that alone, before you add the rest of the perfectly seasoned and cooked components to your burrito, that it sometimes makes you want to order your burrito with a tortilla on the side or even double-wrapped. (In rare instances, when a burrito bursts open while being wrapped, I've received a second layer of tortilla as a "patch" for free.) Everything there is made so well.

Nostalgia also plays a major role in this. Let's be honest, it's still a fast casual burrito place with the shortcomings of service. My experiences there (and I've visited quite often) haven't always been the best. I can't say I've had a horrible experience, but there have been some that rank as simply not as good as others. But I've been going to Pancheros since college. I went to the other big school in the state, not the one down the street. The Pancheros there was where we went on Friday nights after the comics shop and the arcade. We'd inhale el gordo burritos (which they've renamed as something much more tame now) and hang out later than we should have. Pancheros simply held up better for us than the competition. I'm sure recipes have changed over time, but it still takes me back to the fun times -- even at a different location.

And that's what we want from a restaurant, right? We just want good food and to feel good eating it.

Panchero's is always good. Decent pricing. Great value and they are always friendly.

It is always wonderful to get a most amazing burrito and they make it vegan so well. It is very impressive how carefully they put every ingredient into a burrito and mix it perfectly before wrapping it. A wonderful Sunday meal to take out or eat in. If you are not vegan, there are plenty of meat and cheese choices too. The staff is well trained and kind.

Great food! Quick in and out and awesome food. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quick Mexican food. Prices are normal. My chicken quesadilla was $6 and that doesn't include drink or anything else, but it is way large enough to fill me up. Stop by, you won't be sorry ????
