Panchero’s Blog

Tuesday, Oct. 12

4-6pm

You heard correct, Bloomington, MN is hosting it’s very own $1 burrito night! Head to the store on Tuesday the 12th and from 4-6pm you can snag a fully loaded burrito for only one dollar! The line may get long, but we always have prizes, giveaways and Panchero’s trivia to help the time fly by. Plus, once you get that delicious burrito in your hands for only $1 you know it was alllll worth it.
See ya in Bloomington on Tuesday!

If you have to go back to school, you might as well go back to school and find yourself with $1 burritos from Panchero’s, right!? We think so too…

Participating Panchero’s across the country are offering delicious, fresh burritos for only $1 and this is where you will find out when and where. Check the schedule below to be sure you don’t miss out on a $1!

And it just so happens that Iowa City and Ames $1 burrito event fall on the same day. Seems like there is already talk of a little competition going on. Which Iowa-based university is burrito-hungry enough to be the big dog this year and stuff their faces with the most burritos!?

There you have it, the official list of $1 burritos happening this year! Be sure to show up a little early, there is usually a hefty line. Plus, t-shirts and other swag will be all over the place, but supplies are limited, so showing up early will guarantee you some Panchero’s apparel!

Be looking for Lia, JayJay or myself at the Iowa events and say hello!

Here are some photos from Iowa City $1 burrito last year.

ps: Harrisonburg, VA and Bloomington, MN will both be having $1 burritos very soon. More news on that later…

Color your burritos!

You can’t say Panchero’s doesn’t have spirit! UNI has overcome some serious odds in the NCAA tournament this year and the local Panchero’s in Cedar Falls is showing their spirit by serving PURPLE burritos!

But…that’s not all. For St. Patties day last week some of our locations rocked the GREEN burritos. Here is a photo pulled from Twitter.

Hope this adds a little color to your day!

Okay, here is a late entry. Our operations guy in the office is a HUGE LSU fan, he twisted my arm til I did this. (excuse the poor photoshop it was done with one arm…)

There is a new protein hitting a Panchero’s near you and it’s name is barbacoa!

Starting today, participating stores will begin to see barbacoa added to their menu over the next few weeks. Change up your usual order by adding this slow-cooked, shredded beef option to your burrito. Barbacoa is available for a limited time only though, so get into a Panchero’s near you and give it a try before it’s gone!

It’s time for another contest. Same deal as last week: you get 140 characters or less to answer the question “why do you like your tortillas fresh-pressed?” You can answer with a comment on this post or you can send it to @pancheros as a tweet on Twitter. 

The contest runs from NOW until 5 pm CST this Friday, January 30. I will draw one name to win a “Bob My Burrito” t-shirt and then we will choose the best of the best quotes to appear on our in-store bookmarks. Find your words immortalized in bookmark form!

Here’s a chance to get some free Panchero’s stuff:

We want to know why you like getting your burrito “bobbed” with Bob the tool (he’s that little red plastic dude that mixes everything in your burrito unless you tell him “no thanks”). If you are someone that says “Yes, bob my burrito!” We want to know what it is about Bob that you like. Here’s the deal:

Send me a response by Friday, Jan 23 at 5 pm CST telling me why you like Bob or why you “bob your burrito” using 140 characters or less. Send your response to me as a comment here on this post or send me send me an @reply or DM to @pancheros on Twitter.

After 5 pm CST this Friday, all entries will be submitted for a random drawing (I’ll post a video so you can see it go down) and the winner will get this “bob my burrito” t-shirt:

We will also be selecting responses to publish on a bookmark to be found in stores. If we choose your quote, you’ll get 2 free burritos and the joy of knowing that your eloquent words will be displayed in Panchero’s restaurants nationwide (and in between the pages of countless books).

Here’s a short clip of Bob in action behind the counter at Panchero’s. Looking forward to your responses!
