Poncho's Mexican Food and Cantina

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.

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 some rooms.
The complimentary chip basket is bigger and better! Each table still has its own bottle of red salsa to drown your taste buds with all the spice you can handle. The menu look has been revamped as well with a few new options. The popular traditional dishes are still available, and the few I've tried taste the same as I remember. Give yourself at least 30 minutes to park, wait to get seated, to get your order taken and get your food. Servings are still huge. Go hungry... but not too hungry. 😉

We went there and really shock that their restaurant did remodel new bright white, more bright lights than before. I like it because we're deaf and clear to seeing around there. The best restaurant we had been eating there. Haven't go there for almost two years. We love it there and will come back later on. Thanks you rocks!!

My first time in, and I can't wait to go back again! Absolutely delicious, super satisfying, and full of flavor. For the great quality and price point; you can't beat it! I can't wait to dine in the restaurant, which I found out happens from 4p-10p. But we sat out front and it was really nice!
Staff was very kind and helpful as well! 😁

great food very expensive tho
