Pancheros grew from our very first restaurant-a local favorite in the college town of Iowa City back in 1992-to one of the most beloved Mexican Fast casual brands in the country. Scratch-made dough and fresh-pressed flour tortillas are integral to our burritos. Ingredients perfectly mixed into every bite is also a key component of Burritos Better Built, so in 2002 we introduced Bob The Tool to mix before roll. And of course, our homemade queso, which has earned a fan following for its ooey, gooey, extra cheesy, velvety texture and zip of zesty, mouthwatering flavor perfect for chip-dipping or slathering on your burrito.
Our fresh-pressed tortillas are the key to Burritos Better Built. Each one, made from house-made dough every morning and fresh-pressed in front of your eyes until perfectly golden brown. Then tightly wrapped to support all the freshest ingredients of your choice for a burrito that stands up to your wildest cravings.
When you keep things as fresh as we do, there's simply no need for the B and the S. (Otherwise known as shortcuts like fryers, freezers, packaged tortillas-we'd never!) We take pride in putting in the extra effort to do things the right way-from scratch, by hand-because that's what delivers the flavor that really sets us apart.
The key to our burritos is mixing every ingredient together in every bite, because no one wants a mouthful of sour cream or rice. We take mixing so seriously, we even created our very own tool to get the job done right: Bob the Tool. Your single-handed assurance that every burrito you order at Pancheros won't just meet your expectations, it'll exceed them.
Every time you walk into one of our restaurants, we're on a mission to make your day even better. Carefully preparing your food from scratch, keeping our restaurants in tip top shape, making online ordering, delivery, and catering as smooth as our queso, and providing quick, courteous service that makes every meal an unforgettable one.
