Came here for a late lunch with my wife. I really love that they make the tortillas to order here for burritos and the toppings are always fresh. My wife ordered a chicken burrito and I ordered a burrito bowl. Service was fast and friendly and for a fast food restaurant this place has decent ambience. Would recommend anyone who likes this type of food. read more

Pancheros Mexican Grill - Shelton - Burrito / Burrito Bowl - Mexican Near Me - Shelton, Connecticut

I got tacos for my brother, my boyfriend, and I. I got carnitas which was pretty good I liked there wasn't much fat in the taco! My boyfriend and my brother both got steak they enjoyed it. They did put some extra hour sauce at home but they enjoyed the tacos. They are a little on the blander side but I haven't had pancheros in a while and wanted to try it out again. read more

While the service is fast and efficient, do not get burritos from here. I paid $15 for a burrito that I could eat in two bites. They put absolutely nothing in it. You're better off buying all of the ingredients yourself and making the burrito yourself. Ridiculous pricing for terrible portions read more

Pancheros is easily my favorite Mexican grill, they completely outperform Chipotle and just do it better. I've brought many of my friends because the taste of their food is some of the best ever. Even when it's packed the food quality is still delicious. There's only good things to say about this place. read more

Pancheros is assembly-line, fast-food Mexican, not unlike Chipotle. (Haven't been to Chipotle in years so I can't compare.) But I was hungry so I ate my chicken bowl all gone. I was looking for good Mexican - at least at the level of RIO in Norwalk Still looking. The staff was very nice though. read more

Very rude workers. Will not even give you a cup for WATER. Pretty sad how these people drop their humanity for 15$ an hour.

Pancheros ALWAYS delivers fresh food at a great price! I highly recommend Pancheros to anyone looking for something good to eat! The service is always great and the managers are always there alongside their staff! read more

The Shelton Pancheros is my go-to when I'm craving a good burrito or burrito bowl! Everything always tastes fresh here and they pack those burritos full every time! They actually just remodeled too and it looks really nice. We went at peak dinner time and the staff moved everything along efficiently. There's a reason why there's a line at this place though, everyone knows it's delicious! Honorable mention for the queso too, which is so addicting and a must-order every time! read more

I went to Pancheros and was impressed I thought the taste was great and better than chipotle. Price about the same

This location refuses to give paying customers cups for water, which is the only restaurant I've ever been to that does this. Is the manager incompetent and inexperienced, or just a horrible human being? He should not be working in food service, and this place should be shut down. They also barely give you any food and charge you a fortune for it. Horrible. read more

Love their burritos, was pissed when they didn't give me a water cup so i just filled my water bottle with lemonade lol. Food was super great though. read more

Great takeout Mexican food chain. In an area where good Mexican food can be scarce I'm glad they have a Pancheros. Their burrito wraps have funny things printed inside that made me smile as I unwrapped my tortillas. A group of us including three kiddos needed sustenance one evening so the guys were sent out to get a little something for everyone. It took a little while as the place was busy on the weekend but eventually they returned with our spoils. I had the burrito bowl with tofurizo - it doesn't sound enticing but it was actually really very good. Also an added bonus was it didn't give me any stomach pains or acid reflux as the sofritas from Chipotle sometimes cause. My friends and the kiddos had quesadillas, and burritos - all of us sat quietly entranced by our yummy food. The house was quiet for about 10 minutes before the kids were up and running around again. Thanks Pancheros for those 10 minutes of peace! read more

My daughter loves it, so we decided to try it out for ourselves. The concept is similar to Chipotle & Subways. As you pick your ingredients for the order, your burrito--in our case--is being assembled. I decided to go for steak & shrimp with rice, guacamole, bell peppers & onions, black beans, cheese, Pico de Gallo and corn. It's a pretty size burrito wrapped in a good tortilla. The taste is not bad, but I'm spoiled when it comes to burrito's having lived in California, and experienced the ones in Chicago, it's hard to beat the real deal. It's easy & fast for a quick fix lunch or dinner. Not bad, but IMO it can't beat authentic. read more

I've been here twice and am so glad I found it! The format is similar to Moe's or Chipotle where you build your order as you walk down the line. I love that this place makes the tortillas fresh right in front of you after you order your burrito. The ingredients looked fresh. They had six employees manning the serving stations which made everything quick and efficient. Before they rolled up my burrito they mixed all the ingredients around with a spatula. What a great idea! So now every bite has a tasty mix of ingredients unlike other places that don't and results in different bites tasting different: like one bite being mostly guacamole, the next mostly rice, etc. Why doesn't everyone mix the ingredients! I love it this way! The only con was that they don't include chips with your order- they cast extra. I will definitely be returning. read more

It was alright. It was ok. I feel bad and don't like to give negative reviews but I have to tell what I experienced. It was just ok. Nothing bad but just ok. Bland and again, just ok. I had a burrito with a blend of the two meats and all of the fixings. It came highly recommended from a few people I work with. I heard the other location is better. Everything was fresh though and the service was quick. Just an assembly line. Lacking hospitality. read more

Pancheros Mexican Grill - Shelton - Burrito with chicken and carnitas. - Mexican Near Me - Shelton, Connecticut

Really fresh and tasty and a good size! We got chicken burritos, and this place wins because they load your ingredients and then they toss everything before rolling it up! Will Definitely be coming back - really happy I listened to my friend who lives in Shelton and recommended it to me. read more

Far far superior to chipotle if you want a fast burrito. I really like the tofusada it is spicy and it doesn't mess up the burrito (as I sort of expected). A much better vegetarian replacement than chipotle's. The queso is also significantly better. I die on the hill that pancheros absolutely destroys chipotle read more

Screw this place. No social distancing at all. The markings are there, sure, but no one enforced them. When ordering, the staff is constantly inconsiderate of spacing and will keep asking for the next order. So when you end up telling your toppings, your almost shoulder to shoulder with people doing the same thing. And no one fucking cares. Not the customers or the employees. I had to tell people off to get away. I don't want to hear your breathing. I might be vaccinated, but I don't want to carry your germs to one of the immune compromised people I know. Food's decent though. read more

This better than 'fast-food' restaurant has been a fave since it opened on Bridgeport Avenue. However- you're 'just as strong as your weakest link.' The girl(s) handling the end of the food service line/bagging and cashing out need some lessons on listening, manners when talking to (NOT AT) the customers. We had a quick bite this evening and the cashier was without a doubt one of the worst I have ever dealt with. She insisted that the quesadilla I watched from start to finish wasn't mine - tried handing me someone else's and when she was proven wrong continued to toss the quesadilla in our bag with definite attitude. I know teen/twenty attitude after teaching HS for 20 years. This was a prime example of someone that never heard the word, 'ACCOUNTABILITY'. This employee needs to be reprimanded in some capacity because it is toxic, unapologetic ATTITUDE like this that will lose customers. I WON'T be going back OR purchasing G/C's to Pancheros because of my disappointing experience today. read more

The chicken was horrible. They wouldn't give me a cup to take my pills with my water. Place definitely needs better management.

It's a basic fast food joint. Chicken and steak burritos were huge and tasty. Quesadilla was good. Chicken rice bowl was solid. We were able to customize each item. The chips and salsa were eaten so quickly I didn't even get a photo! Everything was made as per order. I'd order from here again. read more

I agree with a previous reviewer - DO NOT order online because the portion that they give is less than what you would get in a child's meal. Any time savings that you get from ordering online won't be worth it when you receive your order. This is especially bad with bowls. I had ordered lettuce instead of rice and there were about 4 pieces. I called after opening my bag and was able to receive a refund, which I appreciated. In the end, Why go to Pancheros when Chipotle is directly across the street and is equally fresh with a better value? read more

Pancheros Mexican Grill - Shelton - Bowl Only 1/4 full - Mexican Near Me - Shelton, Connecticut

Been going here for years, great food. Y'all gotta train the new employees to do stuff correctly tho. The way they press the tortillas makes them explode out the side of the machine, and due to the way they press them... Now when you bite it, it's almost like it's stale. Oh! Also! They don't give you a new tortilla when there's a big ol hole in it? Like they used to??? (The hole is from how they pressed it) When they run out of their normal cheese (which seems to happen pretty frequently now), the queso changes drastically. I can't count how many times my drink has spilled on me because their covers are too big for their cups. I can't go in without getting irritated these days. I know issa chain, but come on, the place feels cheap now compared to two years ago. read more

Disgusting, tasteless food. Servers were nice, but after dining here I was on the can for the next couple hours.

It was OK. To be honest I was going to give them a two but the person I was with loved it. I did not. First off, their men u is extremely limited. They have no Nachos. It is more of a quick fix. You order at the counter. I guess I expected something different. Second..and I realize it is the summer..to many Flies..I mean I do not mind a couple but..they were all over. It was rather annoying. I really did not care for Pancheros which is a shame as I looked forward to trying it. The person I was with though loved them so go ahead and give them a try anyway as it's all personal preference anyway. I will say the foods came out quick. read more

My first and last trip here, shelton ct. Their quesadilla is pathetic. $9 for quesadilla with almost NO chicken. But person next to me gets a burrito that is Loaded with chicken for $10. Hope they go out of business. Sad when taco bell queasdilla has more chicken for less money. read more

Wannabe Chipotle and I'm not a fan of Chipotle.$12 for a small burrito. You want good Mexican food? You won't find it in Shelton Ct.

I love this place! I go almost every week. The food is fresh and delicious. The inside is very clean along with the bathrooms. Its a must. You can also download the app and earn points to get free food which is pretty cool. read more

The other reviews were spot on. Good solid food. Better than Chipotle but not the best I've had. Had the bowl.

The foods really good but the portion sizes are terrible. I typically get a bowl and the thing is less than half full with all the options I pick and if you order on the app, don't bother adding extra meat/tofu. They never put it in. Again, love the food and I've been going here for over 12 years but honestly I started going to chipotle across the street more given the fact that they load the bowls and burritos better. Like it wouldn't kill Pancheros if they added some more rice read more

Goated, go here everyday. I usually switch it up between a bowl, burrito, and quesadilla with queso. Yea, I'm a fat boy!

food be bussin everytime no cap if you not gettin enough food it's because your not asking the chips are also delicious no kiz

Always an awesome meal and a easy time. Greatest steak burritos in town! Super clean, fast & courteous service. Just when I thought the place could not get better! More seating and more spacious eating! read more

Great food. Poor serving sizes. The bowl is maybe half full. For the $11 they're charging, I'd expect more.

Just a far superior chipotle. Fresh pressed tortillas, flavorful meat being grilled right there, and fresh ingredients. 10/10 and SUCH a reasonable price. And no matter how long the line is they do a great job of keeping orders straight and getting it done fast. read more

Everyone is capping in the reviews, Panch is for the boys. Can't ever go wrong with a burrito with literally anything and queso, made quick and valid. Staff is there to get the job done not wash your car, some of these people in the review are asking for too much. read more

Worst tacos I could have ever imagined. They were sopping and smashed and wrapped like little burritos. I threw them in the trash. Would not go here again. Staff was also rude and aggravated because they were out of so many things. read more

What do you expect for fast food? Mediocre at best. Food was cold and not fresh. Only about 6 pieces of steak in my burrito. Added jalapeños to my order, they added too much, making it too hot to eat. chicken Quesadilla was very good. read more

Totally outdoes Chipotle and Qdoba!! Love their fresh made tortillas. Everything tastes so fresh. If you love hot food try their flavolcano sauce, much better than the stock Tabasco of Chipotle. They don't sell beer that's the only negative. The verdict if you are in mood for fast food Mexican try this place you won't be disappointed! read more

Best Mexican food around. I've been going here for a really long time. I usually get the bowls but the quesadillas are amazing as well. I can't speak on the burritos but my dad loves them. The only thing I would change is to make the shrimp a year round thing! It's amazing! read more
