Hey CF,
Just a heads up, since I happen to work next to a Pancheros and speak with the employees all too often. If you have the App and want to enter the coupon “newyearnewme” it’s a free burrito offer until 1/8/25. Happy New Year!

Pancheros > chipotle
Pancheros tortillas are better, but the proteins are better at Chipotle, IMHO.

But they both pale in comparison to Qdoba.

I know it might sound weird, but Qdoba's soup beats anything on Chipotle/Pancheros menu.

Any edible pancheros in crapids anymore? Feel like 1st Ave and edgewood (both) are consistently terrible
I haven’t been disappointed by the one on Kirkwood Blvd, but I don’t have overly high expectations either.
The taco depot down the road keeps them honest as well.

I forgot about that one I used to go there during my brief stint working at TA. The employees were always really nice

Just never give the Waukee Pancheros your business. Place is a nightmare
Wife and I have never understood why that one is run so poorly. That location is largely the reason why I have since shifted my loyalty to Chipotle. That and the fact that every time I get Pancheros the tortilla sticks to the wrapping and tears apart when I open it, that never happens with Chipotle.

I have a working theory that the only good pancheros are the ones who have been in same location for 15+ years. The newer ones are all franchises and therefore suck

The chipotle drive thru lane in waukee is a lifesaver with a young child.
