Took my kids and their friends (all hungry boys) to Panchero's near my house. My first time at this location. The place was extremely clean. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly our food was prepared. Chris, Chris & Vanessa were very helpful and had great personalities. One of the Chris's told me I should upload the app and get points due to how much I was spending and I would get points. Thanks Chris. The food was good but the reason I'm writing the review is for the young gents and young lady at the counter. Good team & great teamwork! 5 Stars! :-) We will be back. Thank you. read more

I've been coming here at least twice a month since they opened. Ty and Chris are clearly the all-star here. The others that work there overall seem happier then any chipotle / moes i've been to, so its nice to see people who don't hate their job. I've never been disappointed by my order, and only once has my burrito broken open. Compared to Chipotle where a broken burrito seems to be their trade mark. My normal order is Carnitas burrito rice, no beans, veggie, all 3, spicy, and a little sour cream. Or if my wife is with me: Carnitas quesadilla, rice no beans, veggies, all 3, mild, sour cream on side. read more

I came here for a burrito and I got a good, big, fairly priced burrito. This place has the same concept as Chipotle - build your own tacos, burritos, etc. The customer service was friendly and efficient and I got my custom made burrito faster than my wife got her latte at the Starbucks a couple doors down. read more

Came in 15 min to close (a little late I know.) Jennifer and Haley (hope I'm spelling them right!) were absolutely amazing! Great customer service and took care of me very well. After a very long day, they went above and beyond to take care of a customer even in their last minutes of the night. Much appreciated girls, hope to see you soon! read more

Like most have already stated, the concept is that of Chipotle and Moe's. They seem to pile the food into the tortilla. The guy working behind the counter was very friendly and even took the time to check on tables when he was not serving anyone. To me that shows a lot about a person and the people they hire. It's a solid choice to fill your stomach. read more

Placed a large order Ty was friendly, polite and helpful. Looking forward to picking up my order and enjoying a good meal.

Went at 7pm, they were out of rice. Food I got was cold. Gave two stars because their chips are really good.

I would give his 0 stars if I could. 90% of the workers are incompetent. This is the third time I've ordered a bowl online and they didn't put the tofu on. If they don't have tofu at that moment they won't make more they just give it to you without it. Portions are horrible. Chipotle is more pricey but you at least get your moneys worth and quality workers. read more

Writing this review as I wait in line for veggies to be cooked in order to complete my single burrito that I have been waiting over 10 minutes for. Needless to say almost every time I come here I wait 10-15 minutes for a burrito because they always run out of something which they need to cook leaving the rest of the burrito sitting there to get cold. Food always tastes amazing but if you can't get the service together you don't deserve 5 stars. Still haven't gotten my burrito at the end of this review.... read more

Very clean, bright, and staff were all very friendly. I ordered the 2 taco deal. I was asked to choose from all the same stuff that would go into a burrito or bowl, so really it's just about what form you want it in to get it to your mouth. That being said, the tacos are cheaper than the burrito and still a good serving. You could order it all in the tacos if you just wanted to take it to a booth and eat with a fork! Food was good. Lettuce was disappointing (watery and old looking) ; I didn't even recognize it as lettuce at first. Everything else Tasty. If you miss the entrance going south, just turn in to CVS and you can get to it. read more

Came in at 9:20pm on Friday December 20th. Restaurant closes at 10pm yet we were greeted with stale food and told that they can serve us but the lobby is closed. We were left with no option but to eat else where on a very cold night rather than the convenience of eating in the restaurant which I believe is a right considering normal business hours. Won't be coming to this location again. read more

Absolutely AMAZING food!! Chris was beyond helpful, being my first time here he explained everything to me, everything was fresh, he was so sweet and made our food right in front of us. brought our food to our table and was all around amazing!!! 5 stars definitely read more

Was clean. One star for that. Second star for telling us ahead of time.....THEY ARE OUT OF CHICKEN AND BEEF. Guess I'm going to Moe's.

Love love this place!!! I had the pork burrito today and it was amazing... The chicken was good , and even tried the tofu . So long Chipotle . Everything is made fresh and the tortilla was awesome. If you have not been go try it. read more

I just had dinner for 15 catered and I definitely felt like Pancheros went above and beyond. From presentation and amount of food, great little bottles of hot sauce, being super accommodating and helpful, I would 100% use them again! read more

First visit better than moes and chipotle. The carnitas is spot on! Can't wait to Come back next month to try it again. read more

I love this place. Pancheros is delicious! Love the way the put what you want into your order and then mix it all together. The staff is always very kind and easy to talk to as well. It's just a great experience. read more

I want to start by saying the food is AMAZING!!! Fresh ingredients, not expensive, made to order, all that great stuff. The staff is GREAT. I go around lunch time almost everyday. The 3 male employees are PHENOMENAL. Always friendly smiling courteous attentive. They take all the necessary steps to make sure you have a great experience as if it was their own personal business. This place is an example of a great business and I would recommend to anyone in the area. read more

The food was so good but even if it stunk I would come back because the customer service was AMAZING!!!! Workers were SOOOO nice and really cared about their job!! Great place!! read more

Best Rice/Chicken bowls I've had!! I drive past tons of food places to go here! The staff us always awesome!!! The food is always fresh and always just coming off the grill! I always say I'm going try something be but I sick to one thing lol! read more

Burritos are excellent, tacos were just okay. I love that they make their tortillas fresh - they are so thin that you almost don't even taste the tortilla and therefore can fully taste the ingredients inside. I wasn't a fan of their guac - it's very pasty and doesn't look too fresh. read more

This is basically a wannabe of chipotle -- except the food is not as good. I was excited to go here until I had the food. The place is nice, basically brand new. But, the food was not as good as I expected. I would really not recommend eating here if looking for awesome Mexican food. If looking for some Mexican food when in a rush then you should eat here otherwise don't. Though, if you want to try something new then definitely try it out. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch to go..being the new kid on the block I've been meaning to check them out. Same concept as moes and chipotle, tell me what you want, pick your meat and assorted toppings. The folks working were very inviting and gave a rundown of their menu. We opted for two salads..one topped with carnitas the other with chicken. I loaded the crap out of mine, ending up with a pretty hefty salad with lots of toppings. Both meats were good, flavorful, generous portion..I also liked how you can mix meat choices. Also they have a fajita style tofu for a non meat option-take that chipotle. I'd return..two salads ran us $16..good quick option in the area. Hard to coke here for a authentic burrito or taco when Wallingford is blessed with so many bomb Mexican eateries. (Not moes or chipotle) read more

I have ordered online multiple times from this place and every time I arrive to pick up my order it's never even started yet! They don't even check to see if anyone has ordered online. So word to the wise don't order online it's never ready and they prioritize the line over your online order even if you ordered ahead of the people there. Orders were placed at 11:49am and it's 12:30pm still haven't received our orders... read more

Pancheros Mexican Grill - Wallingford - HAHA! Whata joke..we waited longer than the line - Mexican Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

Better than Moes!! If you like fresh Mex, flavor filled food, with nice decor, in a fast food style restaurant, then you will love this place. My husband and I didn't even realize it was here. I convinced him to check it out and we were both pleasantly surprised. The staff was so nice and walked us through the whole process with great personality and customer service. read more

Went in with high expectations and was very disappointed. The flour shell was very doughy and undercooked. Very little amount of chicken and they put a boat load of sour cream that made the burrito cold, wet and soggy. Compared to Moes, Moes wins hands down. Personally I would even rather have chipotle then Pancheros. It was awful and ended up throwing it in the trash. They also do not give you any chips. Pricey as well almost $16 for two burritos. There are real Mexican restaurants in the area that are way better and less expensive. This is just another sonic. read more

Very good food completely fresh. I love how they make the tortilla in front of you. And how it takes like two seconds. Also the employees are very nice they always have a smile on their face every time I go. read more

Good stuff. cheaper than Chipotle. Better than Moes not as fresh as Chipotle but their burrito kicks ass since its freshly made

Better than the guys down the road The Taste and quality beat the other two big companies and their queso is actually good

I've lived in this area all my life, and I've never tried this place. IDK WHY. People you gotta get with it. This place is incredible. I got a burrito- fresh dough to make the tortilla that they make right in front of you. And just everything is fresh and delicious!!! The employees are nice! Definitely going back, no doubt. read more

Pleasantly surprised at our first visit. Service was excellent and food was fresh and delicious. My only complaint was met with an apology and fixed immediately. We will definitely be back read more

The food isn't half bad.. however, I went in around 3pm & most of the ingredients to make your bowl/burrito/taco looked like they had not been touched in hours. I'm not even kidding when I say EVERYTHING! I ended up ordering a bowl & it was pretty tasty but just the way everything looked was very off putting, not sure if I will return. I know the chipotle comparisons are annoying, but I'd just rather stick to my chipotle lol. read more

Food tastes fresh, staff is very friendly and helpful. Give yourself extra time because it gets full at lunch and the grill is not very fast. read more
