Slow service throughout, but waitress said she was new so we understood. Pork in my chimichanga was half fat! I had to pull it apart to separate the meat from the fat. The meat was very tender and delicious, I just don't know why there was so little of it. Crabmeat nachos appetizer was excellent! Chips visually appeared to be seasoned, but really didn't taste like it - still tasty though.
Been going here since the 70's! Best place anywhere in several countries for Mexican! Margaritas are amazing as always. However, should never have messed with the flan. They absolutely had the best I would 9998878say% countrywide and not it's got pineapple in it! Not the same and I'm allergic to pineapple!
We had our company holiday party here. Approximately 50 of us, and we all ordered off the menu. Food cam around the tables, in order. Servers were polite and efficient, including drink refills. Food was delicious, and their chips and salsa were excellent too! We will definitely put this restaurant in our regular rotation! Thanks for a great experience!
Finally found time to check out Don Pancho's. Wish I had done so sooner. Absolutely Tex-Mex. The queso was thick and hearty. The salsa spicy. Even the chips were fresh and crisp. My Texas Special (enchilada, burrito and tamale) were smothered in beefy chili. There was even a small green salad. I asked to not have beans and rice. Saves room for the delicious, thick flan. The only thing missing was pralines at the register. Every thing was made in house. Definitely going back when I can.
Update: I got invited here by friends. The service was great and the chips and salsa are still to die for. Had a good time.
(Update: 2 years ago: 3 Stars) Food is still good but we don't eat here anymore because they got rid of all of our favorite servers. Now everytime you go there it's someone new or a server that acts like they hate their job. Not sure if they need paid more or just need a moral boost but if you can't keep your happy staff, or your staff happy, you are obviously doing something wrong.
(Original Review. 3 years ago: 5 Stars) Don Ponchos is everything you could want from a restaurant. Great food, excellent service, and good prices.
Big thank you to the server Rick. He always greets you like he's happy to see you. Great attitude and great service. Every time we eat here we hope he's our server because he's never let us leave disappointed.
My family eats here often. Almost everything I've tried tastes great. My old standby was the chicken or beef fajita jr. I've recently been hooked on their chicken quesadilla but their Mexican chili burger is also a favorite. They also offer a buffet and rooms for large groups as well as the banquet side of the building for special events.
If you like tea, the unsweet is refreshing like cold water and not bland like other places. The sweet tea however is nothing like you'll get at other places either. We still like it but its definitely not what we had first expected. They also offer pop and alcohol as well.
The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are always beyond friendly. The service is always good even when they're busy. And to top it all of, 2 people can get full for under $20. They also offer military discounts if you ask even though they don't advertise it. I usually just give it to the servers though because after the low price of the meal and the high value of the service, I really think they deserve it.
