Pancheros Nutrition Calculator

A standard Pancheros burrito with large tortilla, cilantro lime rice, black beans, chicken, shredded cheese, pico de gallo, and sour cream comes to around 830 calories. Swapping cheese for guacamole or adding queso pushes that significantly higher. The large tortilla alone is 350 calories, so bowl builds run considerably lighter.

The menus are nutritionally comparable. Pancheros' cilantro lime rice is 210 calories versus Chipotle's 210 calories for white rice. Pancheros' chicken is 80 calories for a standard serving, which is similar to Chipotle. The main difference is Pancheros' fresh-pressed tortilla at 350 calories versus Chipotle's flour tortilla at 320 calories. Both chains land in the same calorie range for comparable builds.

A burrito bowl with cilantro lime rice, black beans, chicken, pico de gallo, and lettuce runs around 400 calories before any cheese, sour cream, or guacamole. Skipping the tortilla is the single most effective way to cut calories at Pancheros — it removes 350 calories from any build.

Carnitas is the highest protein protein at 24g for a standard serving, followed by steak at 20g and chicken at 10g. Tofusada is 8g. A carnitas bowl with black beans adds another 8g of protein from beans, landing around 32g total before any cheese or sour cream.

Pancheros queso is popular but calorie-dense. A full serving is 390 calories, 31g fat, and 22g protein. A single-scoop serving is 190 calories and 8g protein. It works as a protein source but adds significant fat and calories to any build.

Tofusada is Pancheros' proprietary seasoned tofu protein. A standard serving is 80 calories and 8g protein. It's one of the leanest protein options on the menu and is vegetarian and vegan. The single-scoop version is 40 calories and 4g protein.

Pancheros' tortillas contain gluten. Most fillings including proteins, beans, rice, salsas, and guacamole do not contain gluten ingredients, but Pancheros is not a certified gluten-free environment. People with celiac disease should confirm with staff before ordering.

Pancheros has 70+ locations across 13 states, concentrated in the Midwest — Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Nebraska are the core markets, with newer locations in the Northeast and South.
