Reviews for Poncho's Mexican Food and Cantina in Phoenix, AZ
First time coming here and was the best food. I ordered the taco and tostada combination and was really good. Only thing I... disliked was the salsa it tasted to much like tomatoes and the margarita,,the alcohol used was a cheap kind and wasn't topleasant of a taste,,,but overall it's good ???? Read more
Bad food today look at pic. I can't believe they would let it out of kitchen. Burnt dried nasty
Taco shell was so hard I couldn't eat it the meat was so dry like if they just reheated the taco . My friend ordered a beef... enchilada with no rice n beans but when he got his plate it had rice n beans and enchilada had no beef it was a cheese enchiladawe didnt complain we decided to bring the food home and throw it in the garbage did not want to start a scene. Paid our Bill'swith a good tip. But not returning ever again. And I will not recommend that place to any of my family and friend's. Read more
Ponchos is an iconic Mexican restaurant, in the heart of South Phoenix, that I have been going to for the last 25 years now. The... food is excellent. The margaritas are bomb. Their salsa is to die for. You have to go and check it out, if you get a chance. Read more
After the remodel, I'm giving it 1 more star! The structure is the same but the lighter color scheme makes the entire place feel... less cramped. The decor now has some art pieces from local Arizona artists. There are permanent plexiglass dividers in somerooms. The complimentary chip basket is bigger and better! Each table still has its own bottle of red salsa to drown your tastebuds with all the spice you can handle. The menu look has been revamped as well with a few new options. The popular traditionaldishes are still available, and the few I've tried taste the same as I remember. Give yourself at least 30 minutes to park, waitto get seated, to get your order taken and get your food. Servings are still huge. Go hungry... but not too hungry. ???? Read more
Since reopening: Food is good as usual, if you've been expect the same deliciousness as before. The new look provides brighter... lights and lighter walls so the rooms feel bigger in a way. The staff was extra friendly and very attentive. The bar door waslocked and everyone needed to go into the main door an wait to be seated. Long lines as usual but the wait wasn't too bad. Read more
I love this rode side spot. The construction on the street places it right in ur face. U have 2 pass right by it. The food... was very nice. A guy in line recommend the dish w/ red sauce. We didn't get it but he lit up about the dish. Our food hit thehunger spot. Pretty ladies make the food better as well. Hey ladies???????????????????????????????????????????????? Read more
The shredded chicken burrito was so good, the chicken was so delicious. The restaurant?s decor is really cute with the... outdoor/indoor feel. I would caution tall people, because there are some areas where the headroom is low. There are also 2doors, one to enter & see the hostess to be seated and another near the bar. If you enter by the bar (which we did) you have towalk through the restaurant to the hostess to be seated. It?s a little weird. Read more
