    First time here, restaurant is clean and ordering at the counter was quick and easy. Menu is not overly crowded and seems like all the classics are on there. Ordered the chicken enchilada plate with red sauce. Sat at a booth, lots of room with mostly working folks taking their lunch break. Ambiance is a high 7, everything is clean and there is lots of room for bigger parties. My order came out quickly, delivered by a pleasant server and a "provécho" nod. Food was hot and the first bite of the enchiladas was a 10-star experience! What a killer, homemade, flavorful red sauce! The taste was unexpectedly stellar and the chicken/cheese accompaniment, with lettuce and tomatoes on the side, rendered me beyond content! I confess, this was my third straight day looking for a good place for enchiladas during my lunch break and I know now that this is the right place. The chicken enchilada portion size was huge, with a surprising amount of very good quality breast meat. There's a nice covered patio outside and more menu items for me to explore on my next visit, which are assured. I'll need to spread the word amongst my office co-workers and bring them along next time! Ps. Easy on the wallet!

    The food was amazing. I tried the tacos Pastor and Asada (fajita) and they were a 10/10. Came on thanksgiving night and they were open. Service was fast and friendly! Tacos were BOMB!! and fries were a 5/10, pretty average fries. Ambiance is very texmex and a couple of arcade games here. Im from kansas city and i definitely recommend this place.

    First off, one of the reviewers on here said they had a moldy burger. I'm sorry but not sure why anyone would believe them when they literally had a picture of a bite left. Like, really? Were you you trying to get a free meal and they wouldn't refund BC you ate 99% of your meal and you gave them a 1 star? Anyway...now on to my review. Wow! My Arlington friend recommended this place and am so glad we tried it! We stopped by after the Cowboys game on Sunday evening and it wasn't busy. It's a standard hole in the wall where you order at the front, they give you a number, than take a seat. Restaurant was clean. They had bussers and servers walking around. There are no drink refills since they have soda cans and water bottles. But they are only $1, cheaper than anywhere else. Posole- flavorful, hot 5* Barbacoa tacos - 4* not fatty, juicy and lots of meat to tortilla ratio (not sure what other reviewers were complaining about.) Al pastor - flavorful 5* Horchata - 3* I was excited someone said the best horchata vs other places but it was okay, just really sweet. French fries - 4* crunchy and hot, seasoning was nice This place is actually great. Food did take time coming out but we are not at a fast food restaurant so ‍. Don't be alarmed because I ordered in English and got my order correctly. I did repeat it a couple of times though. My friends ordered in Spanish and had zero complaints.

    No words for this place, this place was out of so many ingredients. The tortillas for the tacos are nothing closed to homemade and they are cold. The staff speaks Spanish and we ordered in Spanish but they still managed to get most of our order wrong. We came here because it is open 24 hours. I do not recommend this place to anyone!

    Pancho tacos never fails to disappoint. We always stop here before our drive back to San Antonio. You order in the front style of restaurant and sit, they bring out, you eat and head out. Very fast service which is super good since I was trying to beat the storm this last time going through Waco. Barbacoa is ALWAYS good and the menudo is a killer. I've had pozole as well and is good for hangovers, haha ! But seriously, I'm gonna have stop here every time I head back to San Antonio just cuz I know that last meal here keeps me coming by back

    Moldy bread. Burger was disgusting. Mediocre service.

The restaurant reveals itself to be larger once you're inside. It's a cozy dining experience and I liked the cluttered decor of Mexican tchotchkes and liquor bottles. The owners were very kind to reserve tables for our large group and arrange for us all to pay separately. I tried the cheese enchiladas and they were very filling - they came with Spanish rice and refried beans on the side. I was tempted by the taco salad... some fellow diners ordered it and they were serving size was enormous! Most dishes here seemed well suited to having enough leftovers for the next day.

Got pretty crowded by the time we left around 2:00 rising to a little bit noisy noise level. We got a guacamole side, taco plate, chicken chimichanga, and blue Cancun drink. Everything was pretty good sized. However, the guac and drink respectively were padded with lettuce and ice. Despite the padding, you still got a good amount--just not as much as it appears. The quality of everting was good, nothing was exceptional, but it was above average. The manager, server, and hostess were all very nice and provided good service. The lot was crowded both when we got there and when we left, but we were able to get a spot. Nice place for a casual sit down or business lunch. Give them a try.

They do still have the great warm salsa and chips. The beef fajitas are still real good and a good price. The flour tortillas are not as good as the old days. I like the margaritas as will. We still go just not as much as before. The service is very good for us sometimes like anywhere they have bad days. We go Friday night and the place used to be busy not anymore. I think it is because they change the menu.

We decided to head over to the ever popular El Arroyo. We were hoping to be able to find a parking spot in their packed parking lot. I say this kindly since El Arroyo is very popular and to plan accordingly. I'm an amputee and there are only two handicapped spaces. Arriving we were optimistic, and we were in luck. We didn't get a handicapped spot but one just as good on the end of a row allowing my lots of room to transfer to my mobility chair. We love El Arroyo's patio, and it was going full blast. The hostess tagged the perfect accessible table for us and had it cleaned and set! We settled in and were greeted with salsa and a basket of piping hot chips. There was an awesome vocalist singing America standards in the background. She was wonderful, I wish I had gotten her name. Ashley, our incredible server, greeted us and took our drink order. It was definitely margarita time. We love their margaritas! They're a must if you're dining at the restaurant. After looking at the menu, my wife and I decided to split an order of chicken fajitas for one. We've found out fajitas for one are perfect for the two of us. The order usually provides at least two fajitas for each of us. So that's what we ordered. This would be the first time we'd ordered fajitas at the restaurant. In a jiff, Ashley delivered our margaritas to the table. She apologized that the food may take a bit longer since it was Friday evening and the restaurant was slammed. We told her we were in no hurry and just wanted to relax. We sat back, munched on chips and salsa and enjoyed the live entertainment. After a reasonable wait, dinner was served! Our chicken fajita entree was delivered smoking and sizzling along with all the necessary sides. Oh my, the fajitas smelled so good. We knew by the smoky smell they were going to be incredible, and YES, they were. They were some of the best chicken fajitas we've ever had. The chicken had just the right amount of marinade on it, and it was grilled to perfection. The side, rice, refried beans, guac and pico, were perfectly prepared and seasoned. To the flour tortillas, they were some of the softest and most tender tortillas we've had. To top the evening's visit off, Ashley, even though she was super busy, took excellent care of us. Thank you, El Arroyo for a relaxing dining experience, superior customer service with a smile, and a pronominal order of chicken fajitas. We'll see you again soon.
