Panchero’s Mexican Grill

I’m giving Panchero’s a 4 out of 5 because I’m comparing it to Qdoba, which I absolutely love. It is set up like a Qdoda or Chipotle, where you go down the line and tell them what ingredients you want in your entrée.
Pros:
Nice, clean eating area
Staff was friendly
Food was tasty
Burrito tortilla did not stick to your teeth like I’ve noticed at other places
Outdoor eating space
Cons:
They charge extra for guac, queso, and fajitas. It wasn’t very clear on what was extra and what wasn’t so I just stuck to rice, beans, shredded cheese and salsa. The end result was good tasting, but not as good as Qdoba. Since I can get it free over there, I don’t want to spend extra for it!

Went there once with my friend, I ought when they opened. I got a steak and rice bowl with salsa on top. My friend got quesadillas, she said they were good. But my Steak and rice was cold, but I was good just cold. And over priced. I work at a food business and seeing the guest service employee on her phone made me laugh. Nice, clean place, average food.

My favorite fast/​fresh mexican food!

Great service. The people are nice, but unfortunately the food is just not great.
The food is boring and with Qdoba and Chipotle to compete with, up your game. The seasoning on the chicken did not stand out. It was all very bland. It was also very dry. I added salsa and sour cream but it just was not enough.
I ordered a burrito bowl with a tortilla. So same thing as a burrito, but they charged me an extra dollar for the tortilla. Blah.

I truly wish these kind of places didn’t exist. They give a bad name to mexican food. For reference I just ordered the standard array of rice, beans, salsas, etc.
As others have said, go to Chipotle or Qudoba if you want the american/​mexican style burritos. This place is simply not worth spending your time, money, daily allotment of calories, etc.

This place is my favorite. I’m addicted. Can’t stop eating burritos. No, but seriously, I’ve only had great experiences here. The staff are friendly and helpful, they even take the time to remember their regulars’ orders.

Seems to be a lot of pretty brutal reviews on here, I honestly don’t think it’s that bad of a place. I mean, it’s fast food Mexican. I’ve been here a number of times, and although I prefer Qdoba or Chipotle, this place really isn’t that bad. My wife, daughter, and I went again last night. I had a chicken burrito, my wife had a chicken quesadilla, and my daughter had the Tot Quesadilla.
My burrito was hot and tasted good. I thought it was a good size, no different than the previously mentioned alternatives. I do like how they mix everything up before rolling up the burrito. At the other places, it seems that you get splotches of ingredients as you make your way through the burrito. I was also pretty excited that they had a tot quesadilla. Essentially a small quesadilla for $ 2.25. Worked perfect and my 2 year old loved it.
Don’t go here expected gourmet, hit Qdoba or Chipotle if they are nearby. But don’t be afraid to try Panchero’s the next time you’re looking for a quick burrito.

Ingredients are fresh and tasty, and the staff are fast and friendly. Try the pico and mild salsa combo on your burrito or tacos! Tortillas are made fresh and taste like it. My wife and I keep coming back for more. Negative reviews? Completely baffling.

Very bland, underwhelming food. If you were to rate Panchero’s against other restaurants in the same class such as Chipotle, Qudoba, Burrachos, etc, Panchero’s is pretty far down on the list. Taco Bell is just across the street; that would probably be a better option.

Who likes this place?
This is my second try here, I wanted to give it another chance, but it was just as bad as the first time.
I got the burrito bowl and its just a bunch of low quality ingredients thrown in a pile. Taco Bell is way better, so thats saying something. Also, Taco Bell is cheaper. I paid 6.59 for my burrito bowl and I still felt hungry afterwards.
If you want a real quality burrito bowl for the same price, go to Chipotle, hands down. Plus Chipotle includes guacamole for free with veggie bowls, this place its extra.
The only cool thing about this place is that they are freaking everywhere, and they are new and clean on the inside. I don’t know how they sustain themselves though, who comes here?

Average American-​Mexican food. I had the vegetarian burrito. Peppers, black beans, and the hot salsa. Peppers were a bit too chewy. Rice was good. Salsa was OK. Tortillas made on site, pretty good. They mix up the contents of your burrito, which I do like. Good service. Quick lunch. Clean and plenty of seating. Even so, not much different than the other ‘burrito’ chains around.

Yuck! Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to find a Chipotle or Qdoba, they are SOOOOO much better. Chicken looked processed and was cold, the veggies were mushy and the rice they use sucks. Stay away.

The meat is still not hot enough but the tortillas are excellent, the man who prepared our food was attentive and pretty friendly and they washed their straw dispenser! Getting a little bit better now.
I would like them to help me more in the selection of my meal. They just sort of say, «what else would you like?» What I would like is a great tasting burrito etc. Just put on it what you would put on yours perhaps. Is there more charge if I ask for more meat, cheese or sour cream?

The pico de gallo had canned jalepenos in it. Nast-​y. The other salsa we tried tasted like tomato paste. Really bad. I didn’t see any fresh tortillas, just a tortilla thrown on a warming plate. Not nearly as flavorful as Qdoba or Chipotle.

Es muy bueno. Preparan las tortillas al momento. Los sabores estan bien. La decoracion del lugar es muy americana, con pinturas de símbolos de la cultura mexicana. Lo único que no me gusto fueron las moscas volando, pero lo demas bien.
It is very good. Prepare the tortillas on the spot. The flavors are good. The décor of the place is very American, with pictures of symbols of Mexican culture. The only thing I did not like the flies were flying, but the rest well.

The best Mexican food I had at Madison! I am a vegetarian and I would go back to them anytime I craved for Mexican. Loved it always…

5 stars when comparing to other fast food restaurants. Nice staff and yummy, quick food. Tolerant of kids. Never see more than 2 kids in here at once, so non-​breeders won’t be put-​out.
