Panchero’s Blog

Feeling a little patriotic again today! Congrats to our winners who are taking home a $10 gift card, as usual, along with the prize of the week! Winners, don’t forget to DM me your contact info so I can mail you all your goodies. Thanks to everyone who played.
Have a great weekend!

If you have visited the Panchero’s website recently you might have noticed a change to the homepage.

Panchero’s is now offering online ordering from the website! (but only to select stores in Iowa right now) We are still experimenting with some of the logistics, so we appreciate the patience while we work to expand into other areas with this feature. I am going to give a quick rundown of how to place an online order in case anyone is curious how this whole process works. Don’t be shy, go try it out for yourself!

Here we go!

Step one: Check out Pancheros.com to see the new link.

Step Two: Tell us where you want to pick it up

Step Three: Sign in or create an account to save your address and billing info!

Also, signing in will allow you to save previous burrito orders for the next time you want a burrito in a hurry!

Step Four: Choose the takeout or catering menu and start customizing your burrito! Attach a note to your order for more specific directions about how to properly care for your burrito.

Best part of the online ordering? No more waiting in line. Print the receipt number that is e-mailed to you (or show it on your phone) and present the number to the person at the register for an all access pass to instant burrito goodness! Your burrito will be waiting for you hot and fresh. Enjoy it to go or in the store!

Remember: this is a new feature we are trying out in certain stores through Iowa. Your feedback is greatly appreciated about how to make this process easier for YOU! So, leave a comment on the post and let me know what we can do to make this experience a better one.

Thanks and Enjoy!

Feeling patriotic after todays trivia question? Well only three patriots can go home with the $10 gift card and the Panchero’s prize of the week. Watch the video to alleviate your curiosity of both mysteries! Winners: don’t forget to DM me all your info so I can get you your prizes.

Have a great weekend, tweeps!

Some of you may have noticed people proclaiming themselves as “Mayor” on Twitter and Facebook. Then you think to yourself, “I don’t remember voting for any of these people!?” No need to write a letter to your senators, everything is okay. It’s actually an up and coming social media platform called Foursquare who is responsible for all this Mayor talk recently.

Foursquare recently opened it’s virtual doors to all cities, allowing people to take advantage of their new services. My friends over at Lavarow do an amazing job explaining common uses of Foursquare if you need some insight!

But what does this have to do with Panchero’s you ask? Being a loyal patron of a coffee shop, restaurant or bar has always been a point of personal pride. But now, you can broadcast that loyalty to the world and compete with other loyal patrons! If you have the most checkins at a location you are dubbed the official Mayor of that location and inevitably receive burrito bragging rights until someone comes along and ousts you from your seat of power.

So, get out there and proclaim your status as the Panchero’s Mayor of your city!

Here are a few people who already have a spot in office:

Mt. Laurel, NJ – Coralville, IA – Livonia, MI

Already on Foursquare? So is Panchero’s!

It’s Friday! This weeks question was in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Today is his birthday and Monday is Martin Luther King day! Congrats to our winners who are taking home a pretty sweet prize this week! (you’ll have to watch to find out.) Winners, don’t forget to DM me your mailing information so I can get your your prizes! Have a great weekend everyone.

Well, I sure started the year off on the wrong foot when it comes to Trivia. All details are explained in the video. Sorry to anyone who had mass confusion and hysteria over the question. I promise next week will be better! Congratulations to our winners @dlayphoto, @jowhaley and @bradley_jason! Taking home a $10 gift card and the prize of the week! Don’t forget to DM your address so I can get you your goodies. Have a great weekend, everyone!

That’s right! STREET TACOS!

Select Panchero’s locations now have the option of Street Tacos on the menu. The reason they are only in select locations is because we want to find out what you think about them before introducing them everywhere.

So here is the deal, if there is a participating location near you go try the Street Tacos! (right now) (…not later)

Then! (this is the important part)  Hurry back to your computer (or fancy phone) and cast your vote on the awesome poll to the left of this post.

Poll not enough for you? Got more to say about Street Tacos? Not a problem; leave a more detailed comment on this post!

We want to know what you think about Street Tacos. (we’ll take the good and the bad)    So tell us already!

What are Street Tacos you ask? In a nut shell (or fresh tortilla shell I guess) Street Tacos are similar to our previous tacos. We changed up the tortilla size a bit to allow the tacos to be packed with more ingredients per bite! Plus, we’re giving you a whole extra taco! (that makes three total!)  We also developed a brand new, delicious onion cilantro relish to garnish the top of the Tacos. Combine that with our freshly grated cheese, a dollop of sour cream and maybe even a side of our signature salsa and you have yourself a Panchero’s Street Taco!
