We came here with the entire family for brunch. With the bottomless brunch you had a choice of an appetizer and an entree. The portion size was plentiful and worth every penny. Our Steak and eggs were really good, the steak was very tender and nicely seasoned. The flavored mimosas and sangria were pretty good and not watered down. We tried the hookah and it was pretty good. The DJ was jamming, the food, drinks and hookah were flowing we were having a great time. The decor was very relaxing. I would definitely come back again. read more

Great service and great food all around. The music was on point and the vibe was perfect. Drinks were a little on the weak side, but the presentation was beautiful, so I'll give them that. Overall, still a great experience and I'd definitely come back! THEY GOT HOOKAH TOO! - cash only read more

Once I walked in the music was playing and I didn't stop dancing. The DJ was doing his thing. Our waitress was amazing but she got switched from our table after a while which we didn't like. The food was delicious. The drinks were on point. The only thing I would say that threw me off was the $35 fee to sing happy birthday to my sister with sparklers, bubble gun and a sign. I thought that was a little much for like 15 secs . Other than that we all had a great time. Definitely would go again! read more

Don Pancho Villa - NYC's Most Unexpected Brunch Party If you think brunch is always mellow, think again for me!! Don Pancho Villa turns it into a full-on party! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is electric: low lights, incredible DJ, and an energy that makes you feel like it's Saturday night, even though it's only 2 PM. The drinks are strong and beautifully presented, the food is flavorful, and the staff keeps the good times rolling without missing a beat.

My first visit to this place was during the pandemic. Although things have changed since then, the food and service remain the same, and I'm very pleased with everything. I had the nachos and the Don Julio peach tequila frozen drink, and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

EXPENSIVE tacos great taste. You're literally paying for the staff and decorations. But the drinks and food are so good you ignore the cost. Orrrr maybe you didn't see the cost bc those drinks were so strong. Either way don't sit down unless you have $100 to spend here. But please do come prepared for great tacos!! read more

I loved all the performances & the dj was so good!! We did a party brunch and the food & mimosas were alright, but I think they could have more flavor. They also never gave us the dessert but not sure if it's because we brought our cake for the birthday girl. The service was a bit slow after the main course came, as it took almost an hour to get the cake out. read more

Loved the drinks. The food was decent. Good service & attentive staff. We went on a Monday & there was a DJ, which we loved, but it was definitely too loud to talk to each other regularly being seated next to a speaker. Loved the decor. Very chill, low key spot to have a drink & some hookah. read more

I came here on a weekday as soon as they opened at 2pm for Happy Hour- their selection is awesome! I got a pina colada and a mojito. I loved their nachos, HUGE PORTION! The steak was perfectly cooked but I wasn't a huge fan of the shrimp. We really enjoyed their Birria Tacos! Highly recommend their happy hour M-F from 2-7pm. Great music selection as well read more

Security and door staff were moving reckless. People getting let in without IDs, attitudes for no reason, and too much unnecessary drama outside. Whole thing felt unprofessional and chaotic. They let spanish ppl in and let balconies people stand out side. Please be mindful of where you are going. Those ppl there fo not like black people Please stand clear. read more

I have visited this restaurant 3 times in the past. The bouncers recognized me when I went tonight. I was alone and waiting by the bar to be seated. 15 minutes after I was seated and just placed my order, I was told that I had to leave. I was not even asked rather I was accused by 2 staff members of saying something inappropriate. When I asked qs about who I made the comment to (I was alone) and if I felt some kinda way why would I frequently visit the 2 gentleman became very agitated and hostile. I am very insulted that I'm accused of making a derogatory comment to myself (at that). I resent being pinpointed and escorted out like a criminal. I will no longer recommend this restaurant. read more

My friend hosted a brunch to celebrate her birthday here. The place is lively I will admit that - they had a DJ that ONLY played Spanish music. Now I know this is a Mexican restaurant, but it would have been nice to have a sprinkle of maybe some R&B or hip hop during that time. So regarding the food, if you do the brunch menu there isn't alot to choose from. For $39.99 per person you get an appetizer, entree and dessert with 90 minutes unlimited sangria and mimosa. I had the sangria - it wasn't good, didn't even finish my glass as it was too sweet. I was told the mimosa was the same - just sweet with no alcohol. You don't have much to choose from on the menu (they didn't even have a burger option). I ordered elote for appetizer - which was very bland, the steak and eggs (which is an additional $4), the steak was good but small, the eggs were well they were eggs so what can you say lol and the potatoes - I could literally count how many potatoes were on my plate. You had to ask for salt, pepper and ketchup - not sure why when you have potatoes but whatever. The steak was cooked well though although the meat itself was VERY chewy. The dessert was a chocolate pudding - nothing to write about there. Overall I think there are way better brunch restaurants out there than this. No read more

This place was such a great experience. I met some friends for an impromptu lunch and was very pleasantly surprised by the service, attentiveness and flavor of the food and drinks!

Don Pancho Villa Restaurant - Happy hour frozen margarita. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Want some real fun even on a lousy Tuesday afternoon? Come to Don Pancho Villa! The music is so loud, the drinks are so strong and the vibes are always there even when it's empty. I celebrated 2 Birthdays here along with some Happy Hour last week and although the price is pretty steep, it's still a great time and when I mean great, I mean it. You'll stumble out of there happy and glad you came. The DJ is always so much fun too. As for food I love the chicken Nachos, Chicken wings and Tacos. I'm always too busy drinking I forget all about the food but the food is amazing. Doesn't lack any flavor at all. I'll probably go again this week just because I love music and drinks. Hookah is really good too but that's only when I'm partying hard. I can't do much of that regularly. PS-They do ID you at the door even during Happy Hour on a weekday. read more

Great food, great drinks and great service. Decided to come here last minute at 6pm on a Saturday and we got seated right away with no reservations. So glad we decided to come here. The Dj was playing all the right songs and the place itself has many photo ops. Everything from the margaritas to the tacos were a hit! I recommend the birria tacos, shrimp tacos and the explosive nachos. The only thing I didn't like was the waiter showed me the bill on a small machine I wish I would of asked for the idomized bill - made it a bit sketchy especially when it's a bill for 10 ppl. read more

Took over 5 minutes to be seated but there were only two other tables when we arrived, so I wasn't a fan of that. The restaurant has nice decor and is very aesthetically appealing. We came for the bottomless brunch which was $40 per person - included an appetizer, entree, dessert, and bottomless mimosas or sangria. The food was decent, nothing to rave about though; best thing we had was the potato croquet. The steak was $4 extra. The mimosas did the trick and the server was very good about refilling our carafe. There were two of us that had the brunch, and the bill was $112 after 20% gratuity, taxes, and 4% credit card fees. read more

I came here for a night out, and yes the only reason why I'd give this spot a four star is solely because I do love the party aspect of this restaurant, I just couldn't hear my friend when we were talking lol that's my only complaint! Besides that everything was delicious and fun, we ended up grabbing a bunch of their apps and their entrees everything came out delicious! read more

My first time at this establish. Was first greeted by the friendly security staff. They advised me that i would have to wait for the rest of my party but wasn't rude about it. Once my guests arrived we were let in with no issue. Upon entering the lighting and the music allowed me adjust to the environment and set the mood. I was immediately comfortable. The place was booming with guests who all looked to be enjoying themselves. One of the workers showed us to our seats not long after. We ordered drinks and food. My drink of choice was the "Tequila sunrise" which was very good. I stayed with that the whole night. I then ordered calamari and the chicken quesadillas. There was another gentleman that approached the table and offered us hookah which was a clutch addition to our night. The food came and the calamari was on point. The quesadillas were ok but were missing something. It was my friend's birthday so once the Dj found out he made sure to give him a shout out multiple times which was cool. Around 11 o'clock the party really begins. They have dance performers who come out and liven the place up. BUBBLES, BALLOONS, and CONGO LINES! The night was perfect mixed music selection from pop rock to reggae to reggae tone, it had everything to make it a good night. Me and my guests were very pleased and would definitely come back again. Would recommend to anyone for a good fun night! read more

Well, service was pretty good, didn't get to eat there, so not too sure about the food, although it looked pretty delicious , but ambience was not my cup of tea, was more for hooks smokers and early party ppls, idk, I don't enjoy those types of ambiance, music was way too loud for the hour I was there, would understand if it was after hours, but not for brunch time read more

Came here with my friends after work on a Friday. The place itself is really nice! There is a lot of photo walls. I HAVE to mention that it was super HOT in there. Like project heat. Heat plus alcohol is a terrible combo lol The food was okay. I ordered the steak tacos. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. The tacos are very small. They come 3 in an order and you can't mix them. My friends ordered the burrito, they enjoyed it. After we ate we were all still hungry! It was so strange lol We ended up ordering the birrea tacos. I got mine with cheese. I enjoyed them more than the steak tacos but I still didn't LOVE them. The place has hookah for $40, cash only. $25 for coal refill after. My birthday was the next day so my coworkers had them bring me out a tres leches cake. The cake was good. The way they celebrate a birthday was cute. They had someone playing an instrument, someone came from behind and put a sombrero on my head, out of no where there were bubbles everywhere, it was really funny. As per the service, our server had a disgusting attitude. Mad at life. It could have been because we were a group of ladies and there was no man for her to flirt with. ‍ The gentleman who brought our food out were kind. For those who take server positions, just know, we're here for a good time, not a long time. read more

Extremely Disappointed -- Will Not Be Returning !!! I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience deserves one. My friends and I spent over $500 across two tables at Don Poncho, expecting a fun night out. Instead, we left feeling disrespected and shocked by the service. Since it was the last hour before closing, we politely asked if we could make a simple music request. The DJ had already left and even told us they were just using an iPad playlist, so we figured it wouldn't be an issue. But the staff refused to change the music at all, even after the amount we spent. It honestly felt like very poor customer service -- especially because we weren't asking for anything unreasonable. What made things worse was how the situation was handled. Instead of talking to us respectfully, they brought over security. I expected someone to calm things down, but in my experience, the situation got more tense. I personally felt like the security guard's tone was provoking rather than de-escalating, and one of my friends felt insulted by the language used toward our group. On top of that, a group of staff members gathered near our table and stared at us like we were a problem, which made the whole environment feel uncomfortable and hostile. It honestly felt like we were being singled out just for speaking up about customer service. For a place where we spent that much money, we expected to feel welcomed not disrespected and judged. We left feeling extremely disappointed, and I can confidently say we will not be returning or recommending this restaurant to anyone. read more

Wouldn't Recommend This Place. So I Went Here For Taco Tuesday To Get Turned Away Because "It's Reservations Only" And When They Turn You Away It's Without Resolution. You Couldn't Wait And They Werent Taking Reservations Then On Their IG IT DOES NOT STATE NOTHING ABOUT RESERVATIONS ONLY Nor Does It State What The Procedure Is When They Are "Fully Booked". The Way You Promote Taco Tuesday They Should Let The Process Be Known That Its Reservations Only By Telephone And When They Fully Booked, Let It Be Known By Instagram At Least. The Security Guard Was Nice But Thats Why They Getting One Star. To Travel To Brooklyn From The Bronx To Find That Out What I Coulda Read That Online Is Wack. read more

Food was ok. Guacamole was warm. THEY ADD 20% to every party!!!!! regardless of size without telling you. this was a huge problem for me as you have a right to know and they gave a lower quality of service to us. Very frustrating with the lack of quality service and the surprise 20% at the end (party of 4). Good ambiance with DJ, cool lighting & hookah. The waitress would take a puff of the hookah before putting it down on the table. I'm not sure if this is the standard. We had to ask for the check 3 times. Nachos were disgusting, drinks were bad, and service was poor. Fried calamari was good. I had asked for a splash of pineapple in my drink which did not happen. read more

Planned an outing after working a 10 hour shift with my nurse girlies and we were super excited to try the drinks and food and experience the vibes here. A hour after getting a food we tried making some requests with DJPM to play soca or reggae music, he played mostly Spanish music, and he refused the first few times and then stated he is limited to the selection of music he can play. After several attempts ten minutes prior to leaving he played two reggae songs and switched right back to Spanish music. While there were 10 of us and Barry anyone dancing to the music of his choosing and spending over $400 he could've accommodated us for the duration of our time there which was a little over two hours. He refused. This was our first and last time there! We won't be coming back and we'll be sure none of our relatives or friends do! Cater to your black audience and your black paying customers as you do to others. read more

This was a really nicely decorated lounge/restaurant. They're big on the aesthetics. The food was decent, you pay for the aesthetics over the taste of food. The service was decent as well. My server took orders and ran away and didn't really check on me that I had to ask other staff for things like silverware. It's not a spot if you like neon lights & music but if your going quality taste this may not be the spot for you. read more

The food, drinks and service are good. The music however was obnoxiously loud, I couldn't even hear the person sitting accros from me. The reason for my low stars is because of how they present the bill to you. They will just give you a total and not an itemized bill. They don't tell you that THE TIP IS INCLUDED ALREADY. Once they print the bill, (that still isn't itemized) they give you the option to tip... but you're actually tipping AGAIN. I just find this so deceiving and messed up. I don't even know how much I tipped bc I never saw the bill. Just be careful when paying. Aww read more
