Pancheros Mexican Grill Opens in McKinney

MCKINNEY, Texas – Pancheros Mexican Grill announced today it has opened the doors to its newest restaurant in McKinney at 3905 West University Drive.

Over the years, Pancheros has earned a loyal following for redefining the standards of a burrito. Pancheros has fresh-pressed tortillas and uses a unique spatula to tear down the walls that once stood between the meat, rice, beans and salsas, yielding burritos that are better built. In addition to burritos, the fast-casual restaurant serves burrito bowls, tacos, quesadillas and salads. It has also earned popularity for its chips and queso and unique limited time offerings.

“We are thrilled to introduce Pancheros’ high-quality ingredients and customizable menu to Texas, and are excited to spearhead our multi-unit expansion in McKinney,” said Mike Riley, co-owner of Pancheros in McKinney alongside Jeff Bartunek and Mike Kelvin. “This is a brand we believe in and we can’t wait to share the hype with McKinney.

In addition to the McKinney restaurant, the trio plans to open several more Pancheros restaurants throughout Texas.

The new restaurant in McKinney marks the first Pancheros location in Texas, bringing the total to 71 units open across the country.

“Mike, Jeff and Mike are the right entrepreneurs to introduce Pancheros into Texas,” said Rodney Anderson, founder and CEO of Pancheros. “Their values and strong ties to the McKinney community, their restaurant business acumen and passion for the brand make them the perfect fit as franchisees.”

The brand’s pursuit to build the perfect burrito dates back to 1992, when Pancheros founder Rodney Anderson opened the doors to his first restaurant in downtown Iowa City, Iowa.

About Pancheros

The beginning of Pancheros dates back to 1992 when Rodney Anderson opened the brand’s first restaurant in Iowa City, Iowa. Originally modeled after the Chicago taquerias that Anderson had visited often with his friends during his teenage years, the brand’s pursuit of constructing a better built burrito launched Pancheros into an evolution based on simplicity and fresh-pressed tortillas.

Since it’s humble beginnings, Pancheros has earned a loyal following for redefining the standards of modern burritos by using fresh-pressed tortillas and perfectly-mixed ingredients with the help of BOB the Tool, a unique plastic spatula used to carefully mix ingredients together to create the perfect taste in every bite.

Amid its popularity, the brand has successfully grown from its roots and today a robust franchising program has led to nearly 70 locations across 13 states.
