    “Great little spot. Almost has a Key West vibe with Iowa prices and hospitality. It's not a quick fast food place. Be ready for a hang. Plan on being here 60mins or more. Food may take a bit as the kitchen is 6 square feet but not only is it worth the wait, you'll pleasantly find yourself wanting to spend more time here. You won't want to leave. Would recommend.”

    “Not one of my go to places; I usually only drop by on the rare occasion when I’m craving some breakfast food and don’t go to somewhere else Actually when I was younger used to come here two or three times a week. Loved the churro and potato bites But even now I’m always pretty pleasantly surprised with how good this all is; espically if you compare them to their competition in town. Honestly worth a stop by if you’ve never had em before!”

    “Hello Mason city, I'd like to point out that my past visit to Pancheros did not go so well. I went there with my mother at around 2:15-2:30 pm, and we were greated with the nicest workers, and all was going good until the manager came out. We had seen her previously overviewing a new employee. And he was a nice guy talkative and just had a good vibe. He made a mistake on an order prior to us, and she called him to the back to "talk to him" and believe or not her voice was heard by others cussing and giving her employee a hard time for a simple mistake. Later on my mother and I were waiting for the steak to get cooked, and the manager comes up and starts telling us what we want. And we told her no we're waiting for the steak politely, and she gave us both a dirty look. So I'm not saying the customer service was bad, but the management needs a good look at on who they put in charge.”
