Gettin’ in the Spirit!

March 25th, 2010
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.

The Green Monster!

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...)

The End of Barbacoa

March 24th, 2010
All good things must come to an end... Some of our locations are still offering the meat option of barbacoa. However, this option will soon be coming to an end! So, if you are a big barbacoa fan, you may want to go get your fill soon because it may not be around much longer! Here is a list of the stores that are still carrying the delicious shredded beef option. Hurry before it's gone!

#BurritoUp

March 15th, 2010
I've done a few #BurritoUp gatherings in the past (Ames BurritoUp!) and they were a ton of fun! It's a concept I would like to continue, so I thought I would give everyone the low-down on what exactly a #burritoup is. If you have ever been to a tweetup, you are already very familiar with the concept of meeting people from your online community in person. If you are not familiar with a tweetup, don't worry, it's very simple. A lot of very active users on Twitter and other social media networks, have a community of friends they interact with via the internet. But you may never get the chance to really meet these people in real life, even though they may live in the same city as you! (sad) :( I love meeting my followers (and loyal Panchero's fans) in person and having an opportunity to really connect with everyone! And what better way to do it than meeting at the nearest Panchero's and enjoying the company of great people around some pretty awesome burritos! Thus, the #BurritoUp was born! A burritoup is a gathering of people that meet at a designated Panchero's to enjoy company and great food. The event is generally organized and talked about via Twitter, or other social sites.
