We were excited to go since it was so busy on a Tuesday lunch hour & near our home. The cantina bar area seemed cool. We were sat in a back room in the “restaurant part”, by ourselves, near a service station. Atmosphere was not good. The food was not impressive either. We were hoping for so much better. We had the chile rellenos which had way too much egg & yellow cheese, not authentic. The chicken fajita salad was just huge chunks of peppers, onions & a tiny bit of lettuce, although chicken & dressing was good. Our server disappeared we had to ask someone to find her so we could pay & leave, waited for like 15-20minutes after we finished our meals. Might try the Cantina/Bar area again but kind of disappointing.

5 stars alone on the free chips and salsa. Generous portions. The fact the meat was stewed was different but delicious. Please stop in and support this business!

We came back to try Ponchos after a number of years. They’ve remodeled and it’s very inviting atmosphere. You can make reservations specifically for the Cantina/bar area which has live music some nights as well as big screens for sporting events. Tortilla chips were light and crispy served with delicious salsa. Good selection of standard Mexican fare as well as their house specialties. Margarita was decent and beer prices were very good.

We always order takeout. Inside is cool though its fun to sit there and drink those frozen margaritas. The to go service is extremely fast and they have great staff. I suggest the green and red chili burritos.

Loved this place especially for the price! It’s sometimes difficult to find parking but they stay busy for a reason! Wait time for food can be a bit longer than normal when they’re busy, but food and service does not disappoint. Had the chimi platter with rice and beans and it was very good! Husband had burger with beef taco and loved it, but also loves their Mexican food as well, especially the green chili burro. Highly recommend this place especially if you like Sonoran style mexican food!

Our meal was very delicious. Although today there was very Bad service. The lady kept walking away from me when I was trying to put our appetizer order in,so all the food came at once. And she didn’t give us utensils when our food came. We had to flag her down to bring them and her attitude was just very nonchalant and dismissive, not hospitable at all. My husband even mentioned how maybe we should just leave because she didn’t seem too interested in us being there. Anyway here is some photos of our mean to share. If you’ve never been to ponchos the service is usually great. And the chips and salsa is always something to look forward to when you get there.

I wish I could leave 100 STARS!!! I’ve been to Ponchos a few times before, but today’s visit was beyond incredible! From the moment we walked in, the hospitality from the hostess and every staff member was top-notch. However, I absolutely have to give a SPECIAL shoutout to our server, Jaela – she was simply outstanding! Her attentiveness, kindness, and impeccable service truly made the experience unforgettable. Every detail was perfectly handled, and her upbeat, professional attitude made us feel so welcome. 10/10!!!

The food and drinks were absolutely amazing, as always, but it was Jaela’s service that really took it to the next level. I sincerely hope everyone gets the chance to be served by her, although I’m know every server at Ponchos is fantastic!

And to top it off, the best part of the experience was the unexpected surprise—the entire staff singing Happy Birthday to me! It made the day even more special. Thank you to Jaela and the whole team for making this such an incredible experience!!!
