Seriously? Compared to Pancheros? Are you sure you didn't put a rubber glove on your tongue?
Qdoba soup with cotija, pickled onions, chili crema may not be for everyone, but it sure as heck isn't bland.
1st Ave is straight trash still. Granted I couldn't tell you the last time I went there because of that fact. Haven't been to the Marion one as it is not convenient.
Yep…I have honestly never found another good location. Had a bunch of bad experiences elsewhere (CR, IC/Coralville, Mason City, Altoona). Really dirty, food behind counter looks and tastes disgusting. But the Johnston one is consistently excellent. It’s the reason I can’t be fully down on Panch. I try to get there a couple of times a year when I’m in the area.
I can assure you that there is not a worse Pancheros out there than the Grimes location. Johnston and Jordan Creek locations are top tier though
If you are going for a burrito Panch is better than Qdoba and Chipotle but if you are going for a bowl it's Qdoba and Chipotle all day.
Back when we were a proper country!
Also, Panch changed their hot sauce like 8 years ago and I'm still upset about it.
Funny that everyone can basically agree what’s the best pancheros but there’s no consensus on what location in the worst
I would avoid the Altoona Pancheros ... went in one time at lunch to see all the employees literally holding tortillas to their noses going "do these smell weird"? to each other with a long line of customers growing increasingly concerned (we 180'd out of there fast)
Been to one in Cedar Rapids without incident, but Altoona seems really sketchy.

Only thing I take away here is Johnston is the least-bad Pancheros, and also I want Chipotle now
The Grimes Pancheros is horrible, like should be shut down, and probably will be with the new Chipotle set to open soon.
Worst I have seen is Grimes, it is absolutely TERRIBLE. Staff, management, food, closing randomly, out of food randomly, dirty equipment laying everywhere behind counter. Basically I can say zero good things about that location.
Pancheros in Brooklyn Park is pretty good. Both Chipotles in Brooklyn Park are terrible.
as if any of you care about the Minnesota stores...

I had at one point 40 bottles in my car in high school. Gave them out on senior skip day and then one day they switched to the way worse hot sauce.
Nothing better than a good pancheros location. Nothing worse than a bad pancheros location.
The best are Ankeny and Jordan Creek Parkway in WDM. The one in Grimes is absolutely terrible.

If you want an excellent burrito in Ankeny go to Amigos Mexican Grill. The best IMO.
agreed, wife really doesn't care for that place. She's says the Johnston location is good but I've never been there
