This place is fantastic. If you want spice, ask for their "Mexican Ketchup." It is a home-made sauce that has some flavorful kick to it and brings life to every bite. We purchased the fajitas (myself, shrimp fajitas; my wife, vegetarian fajitas). The shrimp fajitas were loaded with shrimp, and the vegetarian fajitas has every kind of vegetable on it, from squash to brocolli to onions, tomatos, peppers, etc. It was quite the melody. Flavor was great, especially considering their homemade spice sauce. Their menu is large and has something for everyone. I would definitely recommend, and definitely come again. 5/5. read more

We were seated right in front of a bus cart that was constantly used and went by us and did not look sanitary. It ruined the atmosphere. Also, the waiter did not get us chips and I was not offered a refill until someone in management came over to see how the meal was. I used to have a good experience. If the tables were full I could understand it but not even a 1/3 full. When I said something to the one I paid the bill to he got derogatory toward me with a snarky "I'm sorry" and there is nothing wrong with that. It will be a while before I will eat there, if ever. read more

Charged me 20 bucks more than advertised menu price. Funny how they don't provide an itemized receipt. I'd heard they do this and it happened to me. Won't go back read more

Manager wanted to argue with me when server gave me wrong dish, when the server said that they had dish on menu and then charge us for the full meal. Service was horrible, didn't like the dish. The manager wanted to fight me. Told me they had been serving the same nasty chicken all day. Place is going down hill. Managers need better attitude. read more

eat a lot sometimes once a month, I ordered the pollo loco , it was really good , I had ordered in the past , and it had pickled jalapeño peppers , that made the dish a little sweet , a little sour a little heat , but the food was good , atmosphere is great wait staff very attentive great place to eat reasonably priced read more

It's not anywhere I saw on the menu but they have chicken wings with Ranch! Queso too! read more

The food here is delicious! I always get extra salsa for the excellent chips. My favorite is the chimichanga (I pay a little extra and get shrimp). I always order takeout and have learned to call order in first to avoid a possible long wait. The gentleman at the front desk is delightful. read more

My friend suggested we try Pancho Villa because it's one of her favorite Mexican restaurants in the area, and it was actually pretty good! We went around 1-2 pm on a week day, and they weren't busy at all. Our food was actually brought out to us in less than 5 minutes. The guacamole dip tasted great, as well as the queso dip. My ACP was alright, basic chicken, rice and cheese, but the chicken wasn't the best quality, as it had some gristle in it (my only complaint.) That, and I wish the dish had a bit more spice to it, but it was what I expected for the most part! My husband got the chunky guacamole, and it was amazing. You must try it if you love guacamole like we do. Service was awesome, and we enjoyed our first experience here! They ARE open for dine in right now. read more

I ordered chicken fajitas for 2 coming to almost $24.00..this was take out. I opened the box at home and found a hair. I called the manager and was informed I needed to bring back the food..I just didnt feel like driving back 5+ miles So no compensation They have lost a lot of customers as I will tell everyone what happened read more

Would recommend to a friend and family. The food was on point and had great flavor. The service was great and had no issues to report. The ambiance probably the only negative thing. The restaurant needs updating in my book but the food make up for it. read more

Such good service, and food! Food comes out quickly and hot. Panchos never disappoints!

Foods great for the area. The staff and service make this place, super friendly, fast and focused.

Pretty disappointed and dissatisfied with this place, 3 years ago it would have been my favorite place to eat. I have placed two to-go orders in the past few months from them and both times the orders have been wrong and both times I got the most disgusting attitude from the same man who sits at the counter. When i tell them the togo order is wrong all I get is attitude saying it's my fault? Saying how they don't have a to go menu and the one online isn't them? But it has their name? Doesn't make any sense, if it is a google problem then they need to CALL GOOGLE AND FIX IT. not sure if it's the manager or not but if it is this place needs SERIOUS help. They will never have my service again. Absolutely disgusting read more

Delicious, I had the t bone steak a la mexicano. Nice place with good service and clean bathroom. The menu had a wide verity of options and specials read more

The food is always good, and the are always employees are pretty funny and friendly..

I don't get the rave reviews. The food was barely Mexican. It was some version of a Mexican-ish/Greasy Diner bastard child that even its own mother would have a hard time loving. Service was merely average bordering on inattentive. Why is all Mexican food in the south covered in that weird cheese sauce? Yuck. read more

Delicious food for incredibly great prices! And the atmosphere is very relaxed. I love eating here.

When you dine in you get your food about 5-10 minutes later there is this on waiter he is relly funny.

Called in our 1st order ever at Pancho. Said it would be ready in 15 minutes almost 45 minutes later I got it. I was pretty upset. But after bringing home my wife and mother-in-law and I were delighted. Beef burrito STUFFED, Chicken Quesadilla huge, hot. Chicken soft taco great. Chips fantastico and salsa very good. We've been in Charlotte two years hands down best Mexican anywhere in Charlotte. Keep it up. But tell folks 1/2 hr for pick up. Gotta believe me REAL GOOD read more

This place offers a tastey Tex-Mex option in Granite Falls, NC. My family and I have been coming to this place for years, it's our go-to for Mexican food with great service! A large dining area allows for quick seating. Chips with a nice and not too spicy salsa is provided while you look over the large menu! This place offers something for everyone, from hamburgers on the kids menu to authentic carne asada for the Mexican food lover. read more

Love the food but, twice that I have went to dine in and one particular waiter was kinda rushing us didn't end finish my food because I just wanted to get out of there but I still order out. Would recommend read more

From the entrance we were greeted by cheerful people. Service was quick and professional. I got the nacho specials (very filling), my wife ordered chile colorado (full of flavor). We will definitely be back as it was well worth the drive. read more

The owner was an absolute jerk! My friends and I agreed to meet on their way back from Boone so I could notarize a few documents for them and when they arrived they didn't want to order anything having eaten an hour before. I had a drink and told the waiter I'd place an order to go. He never returned to the table to take my order or to refill my drink. The owner kept giving me the stink-eye because my friends didn't order anything. I had planned to give a healthy tip upon leaving since we occupied the table for 45 minutes. When we were done, the owner approached the table and began to berate me for taking up space and said he turned away 3 people due to no tables available. However, I noticed three open tables that were never used from the time we sat down (these were NOT closed due to COVID, but available for seating). I told him I never had a chance to place my order. He told me to leave the table and come up front to order and continued to chew me out for taking up space. I apologized multiple times, which didn't seem to matter. His nasty, rude behavior was in front of several customers. I still ordered my to-go dinner of chicken tamales, only to get home and find they were beef! I did leave a very nice tip and only hope the server received it. When I told the owner I would let people know how rude he was to a paying customer, he said, "Go right ahead." Too bad he was such an ass, because the food was good. I'll never give the place another dime!! read more

When in the area, this is by far the BEST Mexican restaurant. I have always had TOP NOTCH service, food cooked to perfection, and fast service. You will not find any Salsa better. I have eaten Mexican cuisine all over the U.S. The Queso here is worth having. Superb restaurant! !! read more

Wonderful food and amazing staff! The lunch acc is amazing! This place is worth every penny. Service is fast and friendly.

This was probably one of the worst meals in a long time. Steak was really thin and very tough. There was no seasoning on the steak or the shrimp. A1 sauce was really thin and runny like it was watered down. I had beans and rice as a side. Rice was okay but there was no beans, was actually bean soup and rice. Stay away and save money. The waiter we had was really good, but I didn't pay for wait service. read more

Service was really fast and food was great. Just needed a place to stop on our way through town and we are glad we found this place.

This is absolutely my favorite Mexican restaurant. Love the food and the service is great. Everyone is great they always make us feel welcome. read more

Food came out fast is about all the Postive we had. We used to eat here weekly. Every Sunday after church stop by Pacup!! Never again. Food and service has gone down hill. Portion have been cut. Begged for a drink refill never got one. I spoke with the person taking money. Told him the truth. His response was next time we will find you ano server. No problem! Won't be back Drive a little farther to Lenoir. Better mexican restaurants are easy to find read more

Pancho Villa is a magnificent place to grab food. The burritos are super good, the casuelon is great and service is wonderful. read more

We actually brag about this place as we like the delicious food and the service is fast and friendly. The last time however, we entered and waited to be seated, the manager was talking with another customer and notices us but did greet us. One of out usual waiters noticed us, smiled but also did not greet us or offer to seat us either. Another couple entered several minutes after us and stood next to us at the desk as different waiter approached them and proceeded to seat them first. Never bothered to ask who was next or ask if we needed help but flat out ignored us completely. We decided to leave as this was not the kind of service we usually experience here. We always compliment the food and tip generously. We don't understand what happened this time. I guess it wasn't our day. Next time we will stand in the doorway as to not let anyone enter until we are greeted and seated. BTW, the other couple known they were not next but eagerly cut if front of us without concern or manners. People, go figure. read more

I have been eating at Pancho villa for over four years, since I can remember in high school this was the place to go! The Service is quick, waiters are friendly and the food never disappoints!!! read more

Great food, good prices. Plenty of menu choices. Fast service! Highly recommend if you are in the area & are craving some good mexican food! *try the cheese steak! read more

Typical mexican restaurant menu. Service is always fast and friendly. Food is hit or miss. Sometimes it is good, other times, tastes like they prepared it an hour ahead, just waiting for someone to order it. If you are in a hurry, or have a large group, this is probably the best choice for mexican. If you have a little more time, or a family, I think you can find better just up the road. read more

The food here is always solid. We sit at the bar. Very quiet. Service is hit and miss as they don't have a full-time bartender. All the bratty, noisy kids are on the other side and we don't have to hear it. Guac and salsa very well prepared and fresh. Shredded beef taco the best we've had. Chili verde a little too salty. read more

Great consistent Mexican Cuisine. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is always hot and out in 5-10 minutes.Yumm Yumm in the tumm is what I say Everytime I am walking to the front to pay my bill after a massive helping of Chile Colorado! If there were 6 stars this would be a six star review!!! read more
