This is always been a very clean Pancheros. When you walk in there you feel like you're walking into a brand new place and it's been there for years. Always so clean and smells good. Friendly kids at the counter helping you in quick professional manner. I love the simple menu.

Love the fact they grill the soft shells fresh. I chose carnitas and it was good. Do add the Blue corn chips and queso. Good spot for lunch or quick dining.

I liked the simplicity of the menu, and that steak was no extra charge. Guacamole is extra, the sour cream portion was smallish and an extra charge for more. The fresh tortilla was really good. The pop music was loud and obnoxious.

Where do I even start...This place has a special place in my heart. While I was attending Iowa Central as an International, I came to Pancheros at least once a week. Very kind souls in this place. As soon as I walked in they knew my order before saying a word. I was probably the only guy who took a Double Pressed with Tofu. To the staff, I hope you see this. Although in Fort Dodge sometimes I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere, Pancheros created so many memories for eternity. Thank you so much.

We stopped here after a cross country meet on our way back to Newton. There were already lots of people here, and we added about 30 kids and 2 adults to the line. The staff were all in good spirits and treated everyone great! They worked good together and got us all our food in a timely manner.
