Pancheros is the second rate Chipotle and it’s not bad. I mean, it’s exactly the same as Chipotle, but they make the tortillas with a press. The Pancheros in Berlin is locate near where the old Berlin Circle used to be. The plaza that it’s in is in a weird spot on a curve. If you’re heading north, you could speed right by it if you whip around the curve to fast. If you’re heading south, good luck figuring out how to turn around on Rt. 73 in under 15 minutes. And no, there is no back way there unless you live in the development behind the plaza, in which case you could cut through someone’s back yard to walk there.
The food is decent. I went to this Pancheros because I knew it would be empty and quiet. Just as advertised. So if you want a decent, quiet lunch by yourself, you could do a lot worse.
I give it 8 out of 10 keggers.
I prefer Pancheros over Chipotle.
I alternate between this location and the one in Voorhees. This one is definitely quieter. Having it on a major highway is a good idea, but it’s very difficult (as Tony said) to get into the lot.
Yeah, like why not have the back of the lot go to a side street? Seems like the people in that development would go there.
