Panchero's Mexican Grill

Panchero’s is a quick-serve, fresh-Mexican franchise famous for serving tortillas pressed fresh right before its customer’s eyes and filling them with the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. Burritos are customized and mixed with “Bob the Tool” to get every ingredient in every bite. The menu also includes quesadillas, tacos, burrito bowls, salads and homemade salsas. For a fast-casual Mexican restaurant franchise, having roots in Iowa might not sound like a selling point. But Panchero’s Mexican Grill founder Rodney L. Anderson learned a lot from launching and growing his concept in the Midwest. Anderson and his father opened the first Panchero’s location in the college town of Iowa City in 1992, and the simple, taqueria-style restaurant quickly gained a following among students.
