My husband & I are here in the Valley visiting his family and his sisters were like “OMG, you need MUST go to Ponchos!!”. We have a Ponchos in the Dallas area and it’s grimy & disgusting so I told them I wasn’t interested in going to this one.
One of the sisters showed me pictures of the food & that’s what got me to come here with them.
This Ponchos here in the Valley is nothing like the garbage in Dallas I can promise you that!!!!
Great service and phenomenal food!!!
The fajita tacos were the best thing I ever had That meat was cooked perfectly. The rice & beans were great as well
I enjoyed how a gentlemen playing guitar would come around with his guitar & sing at your table, then another gentlemen would come around with roses to buy
What a wonderful experience ❤️
Thank you Ponchos!!!!!

Dont know why this place its famous. In general this restaurant its really bad. Place its all dark you cant see the menu. Waiter was fast but he forgot things several times we had to ask twice. Tampiqueña plate was really bad meat was raw all red on thicker parts meat was really bad we did not finish it. 70 bucks for two go to bigos, palenque grill, or roadhouse but this place not good at all.

I ordered a botana for, 4 & the picture proves that this is not for 4 people. This is how a botana for 2 people looks like. I normally don’t give negative reviews, but I don’t want this to happen to anyone else. In fact this is my 2nd negative review out of the many reviews that I have done.

DO NOT GO!!
Wow — what a disappointing experience. The restaurant closes at 10:00 PM, and we arrived at 9:00 PM. To be respectful of their closing time, we chose our meals right away to avoid any delays. However, the waiter took quite a while to return and actually take our order.

Before we even finished our meals, I asked for the check to help expedite the process and be courteous of their closing time. Once the food arrived, we ate quickly so we wouldn’t keep the staff past closing. We finished at 9:46 PM and were simply sitting for a moment to digest when, at exactly 9:59 PM, the waiter came to our table — politely, but firmly — to tell us we needed to leave because the doors would be locked at 10:00 PM.

Mind you, this was after I had already paid a 22.7% tip. I commented that it felt rude, and he responded that it wasn’t meant that way, just that they would be locking the doors. Regardless, being asked to leave one minute before closing — after making every effort to be considerate and tipping generously — left a very poor impression.

In addition, as we were still in shock while exiting, we said goodnight to a male and female employee, and received no response. That lack of basic courtesy only added to the disappointment.

Very large indoor Mexican restaurant. It’s lost its appeal over the years. The service becomes a little weak when serving large parties. We’ve had the fajita botana platter and have been very satisfied. Portion sizes are large. Rice and beans taste authentic. Their chips and salsa are also good. Nice added touch with the traditional Mexican colors and decor. The large fountain in the center tie it all together.

Where do I start! I went with family for the first time to this place. We ordered beef and chicken botana for 6 that was literally the worst botana I have ever had, ever! The botana was brought to the table very quickly which leads me to believe that it was pre-cooked. The meat looked greasy and old as if it was sitting under heat for hours, which it likely was. The botana was very liquidy, dripping water or juice, and the meat was over seasoned. Also, it was over $160 and ridiculously small with only a small amount of meat and lots of overcooked veggies and soggy chips. Very overpriced for the size and more so for the quality. We also asked for water and we got a bunch of hot plastic bottle and no glasses. I had to order glasses with ice and the waitress forgot and I had to remind her like 3 times until she finally brought them. The place was desolate and now I understand why. The place also looks old and the floors and ceilings were dirty and dusty. That should have been a clue! I truly don’t know how this place has managed to stay open. Horrible food, bad service, dirty building, overpriced meals, and poor quality food. I will definitely never go to this place ever again. Do yourself a favor, don’t go to this place. There are many other much better options to enjoy with your loved ones. In fact, any other place you go to, even jack in the box for their crispy tacos, is probably a better choice than this place. That’s saying something!

This restaurant was an awesome restaurant, but now very disappointed with their service.
Meat was raw and disgusting unable to chew and enjoy the meal. My family was disappointed as well, will never go there again.
