Pancheros

I’m so glad that there is a Panchero’s in Mason City!!! I love me a good burrito and Panchero’s is the place to get the best burrito. I’m talking better then Chipotle! Seriously. They press the tortilla right in front of you so it doesn’t get much fresher than that. Also the meats in my opinion are juicer then Chipotle. You have to get it with the queso cheese inside the burrito. Take my word for it, you’ll love it!

Had lunch here today with some French guests. I ordered the Carnitas bowl along with a raspberry tea. The meal was great! I also tried some of Panchero’s hot sauce and loved it! I will definitely return here!

I’m a huge Pancheros fan and go to the one in Cedar falls often. I was worried that this one would not live up to my expectations of my hometown one. But they exceeded all my expectations.
I was greeted immediately when I walked into the door by a nice lady. She asked to take my order and kept calling me ma’am. i’m not that old but I do see it as a sign of respect. The employee who rang me up was also very polite and courteous with lots of pleases and thank you’s. The service was wonderful.
This was a new location so all of the Décor and booths and seating row brand-​new. It has a streamlined Tex-​Mex feel to the Décor.
How it works is you order at the start of the line. You pick whether you want a burrito tacos quesadilla or a bowl. They fresh press all the tortillas in house to order. I like the burritos but my favorite right now is the bowl. It’s all the deliciousness of an inside of a burrito without the tortilla. You pick whether you want rice black beans or pinto beans. And then you choose your meat. They have steak chicken veggies or Carnitas which is pork. I really like the Carnitas. Then you choose your toppings. Queso is extra but it’s so delicious it’s a white cheese sauce. And then you pick the salsa or pico sour cream guacamole cheese etc.
The food is all very fresh and flavorful. I found the toppings at this location to be extremely fresh today. I usually get the chips and queso as well. But today I just stuck with the burrito bowl.
If you haven’t been here yet give it a try it is absolutely wonderful. The food is fantastic and the staff here was very polite. Get a punchcard because after 10 burritos or meals your 11^th one is free.
