I ate here once and asked for nachos, they loaded them up and waited until it was time to pay before telling me they they don't do nachos so they did it "special" and billed it as chips and salsa and everything I added on them was rang up as a side. So chips and salsa, side of beans, side of meat, side of queso, side of rice. It came out to like 17$. And when I argued it they wouldn't change anything. They said that I asked them for a custom item and that's how it had to be done. Never going back here for that reason. The food was okay at best. I'd rather go to Moes or even Chipotle. read more

The freshest tortilla, off the grill an on to you plate while you watch and enhance your dining experience. I had the beef burrito, chocked full of fresh beef strips, black beans, rice and a large helping of guacamole. Great value for the price. Friendly staff and a very clean environment. I'll be back! read more

Great, fresh quesadillas. Their salsa verde is really good!

I just tried this place for the first time today and I absolutely love it because of the Fresh Tortillas they make right in front of you plus the prices are very reasonable and you even get the 6th burrito free!!! read more

Well, we gave it a month. Burritos on a Sunday night sounded delish, and because of the time change, we were hungrier later. Piled in the car, and headed to Pancheros to give them another shot. And sadly, we were disappointed. The portions for the burritos have been increased which was a big plus from the last time. We estimated my wifes to be the same size as the baby we are expecting in 2 months. But, the meat, the salsas, and the mountains of rice we had, were bland and unassuming. I will say the queso was fresh, and everyone at least acknowledged us as customers, but it still seemed like there were questions and hesitation on the line. Oh, and to the guy with the sleeves (Nice work btw.) get a bandaid or some gauze for whatever was going on on your left forearm. I love the concept. I love the location. I just cant get over the wait to make a tortilla, and the wait that forms whenever there are more than 3 people on line. I wanted to love it, but it just never came. read more

Not a whole lot to say that hasn't been said already...freshly made tortilla shells, a variety of ingredients to choose from behind the counter, chips and salsa, fountain drinks, etc. For a visual, just think of "Subway" but with limited mexican food selections in lieu of subs/veggies, including the handoff of your meal between employees all the way down to the register. I ordered the burrito bowl and practically inhaled it after eating little throughout the day. It was good, but nothing to get overly excited about. The best part was setting my bowl on the ultra narrow trash recepticle hole before I left. I'm not sure what that is all about, but sorry, I'm not smashing anything when I'm trying to throw it away. Dumb. read more

They were really nice people. But the food was down right gross. The chicken tacos we WAY over seasoned and dry. read more

This was a complete joke! I ordered a salad with rice it was no rice, no pico, no guacamole not ANYTHING I asked for and it was nasty this place should be shut down this place should be the face of a bad food experience please stay clear of this peace of shit! read more

I have gone to this place to get my Mexican fix but I feel bleh every time I leave. Pancheros to me is considered the American version of Mexican food because it does not have the authenic taste. Like I said, I go here for a quick fix but feel the same way every time I leave. This one is located at Deer Park Pavilion and I decided to stop here because I just got gas. It was empty with a small group having lunch. I ordered a steak burrito with verde sauce and a drink. For what its worth, the burrito tasted actually good to the point where I almost finished it. I threw some more verde sauce for extra flavor. Even though it was good yesterday, I know in my heart that it would never compare to t he the authentic Mexican food I can get in California. So for now I will settle until I make my way out back west. read more

My experience leaves a lot to be desired. I was STARVING do much that I could eat 2 cows and a horse. Hungry (still am.) I pulled up Yelp and I was craving burritos so I drove here. Disappointed to say the least. I ordered the vegetable burrito. The person behind the counter asked me what I wanted in it. I looked up at the board and pointed at the 'Vegetable Burrito' sign. I didn't realize I had to design my own what's the point of having a menu item of I have to tell you how to make it. That's ass backwards. The servicec was bleh. I realize it's late but don't mouth off about me IN FRONT OF ME in another language. What-the-ef. He acted like he didn't want to be there but I didn't want to be there either.... I wanted to be at my hotel! The food was bleh at best borderline bad. If robots made burritos in space this is what or would taste like: rubbery, chewey, bland, not authentic. I didn't get sick or die but I was disappointed. I was craving good mexican food but got something else. I won't be going back. This place is far from authentic. And with that kind of service ill take my money elsewhere. read more

Another Chipotle wannabe although I did appreciate that the tortillas are made on the premise. Unfortunately I am not the biggest tortilla fan in the world and found that the actual meat (carnitas in my case) was not as well-seasoned as Chipotle's. I did like the blue corn chips and guacamole, though. Overall, a decent place to grab a burrito but I will still be loyal to Chipotle, despite the longer lines. FYI, they do have a coupon for a free drink with a burrito purchase on the website. read more

Me & Husband decided to try, we had a free chips & salsa coupon from Yelp. 4 Tacos and 2 Drinks $20 The restaurant was in need of a sweep & wipe - food was good - music was odd - priced high should've been $17.50 at the highest. read more

Chipotle is my absolute favorite place to eat, so I was skeptical to try a Chipotle type place. But, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a steak bowl, both beans, salsa verde, and everything tasted SO fresh! The people behind the counter were very nice too, and my husband got a quesadilla, and they used a fresh tortilla (we watched them make it!) The chips and queso were also very good! read more

I'm for going to this place for a few years now. I think the food is good and reasonably priced. Making the tortillas fresh makes all the difference. Here is something to look out for: The people who I believe are the owners of the establishment, a husband and wife team, work behind the counter on a regular basis. Usually just one or the other, but sometimes both during busy times. Last year sometime, I remember being in the store eating my food. A father and his young daughter we're there getting food for takeout. The wife was behind the counter at the register at the time. The man became a bit irate with her. He was yelling at her complaining that every time they go in there, and she is behind the register, he always gets overcharged. I do not recall what the outcome was or if she remedied the situation. This occurrence easily slipped my mind until I was in there with coworkers for lunch the other day. While we were eating our lunch, my coworker looked puzzled and kept looking up at the counter. I asked him what was wrong, and he says he thinks he got overcharged. He started doing the math and realized that he was charged for queso that he didn't get nor did he ask for. He does remember the woman behind the register saying the word queso while she was ringing things up but he did not catch it at the time. The coincidence of this occurrence is that it was the wife/owner behind the register. I am not saying out right that she is stealing, just pointing out a repeated occurrence with the same person behind the register. Some people do not believe in coincidences. read more

We stopped here because it was Mexican and had an alright rating. It's easy to figure out your order and the portions are pretty big. It filled us all up for sure. They have blue corn chips, which is pretty cool, and they taste really good too. Their queso is also pretty good. Over all, I'd definitely go back read more

Wow...one of my best mexican burrito experience... Fresh as ever tortillas made in front of your eyen and onto your plate with the taste you choose..!! ...delicious...already hungry for more... Finally a fresh mexican food place...!! A MUST COME ... MUST EAT read more

Pros: delicious food, freshly made (no kidding the shells are pressed right in front of you ), very friendly staff Cons: you can't order by phone or online, a bit pricey for the portion size. read more

Be prepared and be aware of add-ons because they do not tell you as your entree is being built. Study the menu before you commit. I got the bowl and it was sadly half full. The lettuce used was iceberg and when I requested it, she just put a sprinkling rather than a real serving. Talk about being stingy. Otherwise the food is ok not very flavorful and bland. read more

Ordered from here about three times, I always get double chicken from other locations and they give you a good amount. However this locations double chicken serving is every other locations normal serving. Rip off. read more

Freshly pressed burritos with custom toppings. Clean. Friendly. Prompt service. The app is quick and makes pickup easy.

Hello! I've currently been crying for 3 minutes and my friend has been crying for 4. I am crying bc the price of food is crazy here! 16 buckies for a burrito w soda and chips n queso. Queso is bad! My friend is crying bc he found small rock in his burrito. Nearly chipped a tooth! Very upset with location, will not be back! Goodbye. read more

I never knew Chipotle had any real competition...Not only does this restaurant rival Chipotle, it far surpasses them taste wise and staff wise, which I didn't know was possible. I've lived in Hamiliton for 14 years and only recently learned about this place from my son who comes here with his friends...I'm so happy he put me on! The owner, Mike, was very personable and their queso is just wow! Not to mention their fresh jalapeños...For those who enjoy their spice...This is my second time here and I see myself coming back for years to come. -Satisfied read more

The "art" of making a tortilla shell should not draw you in. It's what they put inside (or don't) that upsets me. We just tried Pancheros, are limited on work and want to "treat " ourselves maybe once a month in the community. I ordered $34 in food that when it arrived, felt like a Big Mac and fries. Bad sign # 1. The quesadillas had barely any cheese and maybe 2-3 pieces of old chicken. You could see through them . Bad sign # 2. The tacos were smaller than an egg roll, I thought they were a " giveaway" they were so small.# 3. The burrito bowl had no lettuce, no tomatoes, nothing, just rice , beans and the same old chicken. I may have had to add them on the app, I don't know, but I thought they were standard on these items. Wouldn't have mattered though, it was terrible. I sympathize with the dilemma restaurants face, but with only" the back of the house" (cooks) working, they have to step up their game for the thousands of people who are clambering for their business. read more

Just recently discovered this place and went to give it a try. Wife and I love Chipotle and this place from the menu, looked to be a Chipotle competitor. However they are a horrible knockoff. First let me say the food they served was Luke warm. Easily right off the bat you can tell it's not as fresh, and lower quality products than Chipotle. Serving portions are all premeasured by there specific serving utensils and they give you way less than Chipotle gives you. My wife had a chicken burrito bowl. After 3 bites she threw it away. She said it was just that bad and couldn't eat anymore. She is a die hard Chipotle lover and begs me to get her Chipotle all the time. So if she threw this away after 3 bites that must tell you something. Other than that was also a waste of $7. Never will i set foot in a Pancheros ever again. The fact that it has been there for 5 years and still in business also baffles me. When I went in, on a Saturday night 5pm, there were only 4 people in there. Right there I knew that was a bad sign. Anytime I ever go to Chipotle. There is a line to the door if not out the door and all the tables full of customers eating. The amount of business Hamilton Marketplace area gets everyday. It's crazy Chipotle has never opened a location in there. It would be a gold mine to them. Let's all hope Pancheros eventually closes down and Chipotle moves in. It sucks I'm moving 5 min away with this shit ass Pancheros and Im now going to be 30 min from nearest Chipotle. read more

Burritos are amazing especially with Carnatis. They are huge portion size. Unfortunately everything else as far as tacos and quesadilla are very small portion but worth going for the burritos. read more

I've been a longtime customer at this location. Sometimes I have ordered here weekly. I placed an order through the app for something they no longer had. No one made me aware of this. They just took it upon themselves to substitute and fill the order then charge me the price for the originally ordered item. The first person I talked to hung up on me. The second person denied being able to help bc he claimed that it wasn't his problem to address app mistakes bc "he runs a business not an app". Both were very rude, did not listen, and talked over me for the duration of the phone call. No customer service or problem solving skills at all. They didn't even ask me what I wanted. Just defensiveness. They will never get a penny more out of me. I've been coming there for years and the staff doesn't greet you, smile, make small talk, or attempt to be friendly so this was just the icing on the cake. read more

I've been here a few times and each time it's just ok. I'd rather go to Chipotle. The only thing better here is the queso.

This was the first time visiting Pachero's and I loved it. Great atmosphere loved the decor, nice friendly staff, good management. I will definitely be back. Highly recommended. read more

Panchero's is a chain that was started in Iowa City, Iowa (really...). I lived there, and it was a regular staple, and I enjoyed it far more than Chipoltle, as it's burritos are more manageable, and the tortillas are made fresh. Recently moved to NJ, and was thrilled to see one here! And it looked just like my home Pancheros, and tasted great, too. Will definitely be back! read more

I am literally physically attracted to this place. I walk in to the heavenly aroma and I'm hooked then when I see them heating the fresh burrito shell I just go wild. The chicken is perhaps the juiciest and tastiest meat my taste buds ever had the pleasure to encounter. When I take a bite my body reaches both physical and physiological enlightenment. It is as if you become an entirely new person every time you enter this eatery. The chips are to die for. When you cover them in the scrumptious queso they are out of this world. After you dine here you will try to destroy chipotle compared to this restaurant chipotle is the pits. Drop everything you are doing and eat this food... Your taste buds will thank you . Panacheros where there is a slice of heaven in every bite. read more

We just moved into an area with Panchero's and I am so glad to have found this place! The tacos are awesome and my fiance loves the burritos They make the tortilla's there fresh as you order and you can totally taste the difference, they also don't fall apart. The chips, queso & salsa are great, we always mix the three salsas together. Definitely much better than Chiplotle and Moe's if your in the mood for one of these types of places. read more

Great lunch spot! Food is fresh and very tasty. Recommended if you like fast, simple Mexican food.

I love how they make the tortillas fresh. Their chips and queso are out of this world, and the only thing that supersedes are the SHRIMP BURRITOS! read more

Started going to this place soon after it opened and have made it a weekly routine. The food is GREAT. The staff is friendly and have always provided good portions. My absolute favorite is the pork burrito. Add some green sauce and it is literally one of the best burritos I've had. If you are in the area this should be on your list of places to go. read more

I have been on this obscene quesadilla kick lately. After doing some errands after work tonight and wanting dinner that I didn't have to cook (or clean up after) in my own kitchen, I decided to stop at Panchero's, based on Anja M.'s review [she has YET to steer me wrong!] While I really could care less about the fresh-pressed tortillas shtick, it was a nice touch. I guess for me personally, any Mexican place worth it's salt would be going through tortillas SO FAST it wouldn't matter to worry about whether they were past their expiration date or not [see store signage], but I digress. I was very satisfied with my choice. I received a huge quesadilla overflowing with marinated veggies, blue corn chips, a delicious, smokey queso with a little kick, and some nice, mildly-spiced salsa. I am not one for overly spicy food as it irritates my nose/eyes and makes them both run horribly, I appreciated this. So to those who are seeking true heat, I am not sure how well you would do here; YMMV. Disclaimer aside, I was very satisfied with my food and can't wait to return. Great job! read more

Pancheros Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Hamilton, New Jersey

This is one of the sketchiest places I've ever been to. I came here again after a few months, because I do like their homemade tortillas and how they mix everything together. But it's seriously not even worth it. Every single time I've come here I've been overcharged/charged for something I didn't order. I got a chicken burrito with chips and queso which was around $12.40 and I thought that was a little high so I asked for a receipt and she threw it in the bag. I am assuming an Indian wife/husband own this location and they are always kind of rude and ALWAYS overcharge you. It was my fault for not checking the receipt before I left because she gave me the wrong receipt!!! I added up both items and she overcharged me by about $1. I'm honeslty disgusted that they would think this is acceptable and they are clearly doing it to multiple people!!!!! I probably won't be coming back here because the way they treat their customers is absolutely not ok. read more

I drove 40 minutes out of my way to order from here. I go in to order and the lady is sweeping the floor. She sees me and finishes sweeping and then proceeds to gather trays from the trash receptacles all why I'm waiting. She goes behind the counter doesn't wash her hands and goes to put on used gloves that were lying on the counter. I asked her to get new gloves and I proceed to order a pork burrito a chicken burrito and a Quesadilla along with chips and queso. She makes the food, mind you I've eaten at a half dozen pancheros. So the whole time I'm thinking to myself the portions are all wrong. The pork burrito she puts in so much rice she busts through the shell and has to wrap another around it. She charged me extra for the beans in the burrito, I don't remember ever being charged extra for beans. Wasn't a huge deal as I redeemed the rewards for one of the burritos. The chicken burrito was alright, just too much rice not enough chicken, the lettuce was cut in big chunks. My husband didn't even finish the pork burrito said it was "worse than Chipotle" and "can't believe I just spent 8 dollars on a pound of rice!" All in all I will continue to frequent pancheros just not the one in Hamilton, the ownership is running this one into the ground!!!!!!! If it wasn't for the chips and cheese I would find a way to give 0 stars. read more
