“Efrain provided excellent service and recommendations! We will definitely come back again!“

“Now let me start by saying that I’m a Chipotle girlie through and through. Always have been. Tonight was my first time trying Pancheros, and let me tell you, chef’s kiss. 😚

I got the burrito bowl as ordered:
• Rice
• Extra chicken
• Queso
• Hottest Red Sauce
• Shredded Cheese
• Jalapeños (super fresh and spicy 🌶️ btw)
• Corn Salsa
• Pico De Gallo
• Extra Sour Cream

It was soooo good! 😋 The flavor of the chicken was great, super fresh and not dry at all. It was so juicy! The jalapeños were fresh and the hot sauce was saucin’! 🔥 i love the way the shredded cheese just melted into the ingredients in the bowl and every bite was perfect. I also ordered the guacamole and chips and that was also tasty! Love that they use the blue corn chips, perfectly salted btw.

I definitely will come back here for some more! The pricing was reasonable, similar to chipotle but I think a little cheaper! I also ordered two tacos for my six and four year old, pretty basic with just chicken, cheese and sour cream but they both devoured them. So it’s a win for mom!

Thanks Pancheros. 🤍🤍👏🏽👏🏽“

“Great happy hour prices!!!“

“Zantigo is excellent. I usually order their green chili burrito, with two hot chilitos. Very yummy. (you have to slurp the burrito. hahaha)“

“Great food friendly service great place to take family and friends for some good eats 🔥🔥🔥🔥10/10 must try again and again ….“

“A bit tricky to find if you don’t know the area well, so just be aware:) It is a hidden gem 💎! We’ve never had to wait long to be seated. the staff is always quick, attentive, and friendly! Everyone in my party loved the meal they ordered. The lunch menu has a lot of great choices!Their chips and salsa is awesome. Drinks are always full! my brother and his wife love the tres leche cake 🍰 , so we ordered 2 pieces between 4 of us, and it was finished:) The decor is my favorite of all! the paintings on the tables and chairs are so beautiful and colorful! The other location in bloomington had the same beautiful decor until they closed. If you want good american mexican, El Loro is a great choice! They have a really lovely bar area as well! 🥰😍“

“I stopped by this Taco Bell today and honestly didn’t expect to be this impressed. The moment I walked in, the energy felt good. The staff were genuine, friendly, and fast, the kind of people who actually look at you and make you feel welcome instead of just rushing you through a line.

The place itself is spotless. Clean tables, clean floors, clean counters. Even the parking lot has plenty of space, which is rare these days. It makes the whole visit feel easy and stress free.

And the music… surprisingly good. Not too loud, not boring. Just the right vibe while you eat.

But the part that really took me back was the tray. They still serve your food on a tray here. It sounds small, but it reminded me of the old days when places cared about the dine-in experience. It feels respectful, like they actually want you to enjoy your meal instead of rushing you out with a paper bag.

Overall, this location hit all the right notes for me. Clean, welcoming, well-run, and a little nostalgic in the best way. I’ll definitely come back.“
