Pancho Villas is the epitome of consistent Mexican food here in the Triad. This is our go to spot for Mexican as it is always a positive experience. The service is good as the staff is friendly and prompt on checking on you or refilling your chips and salsa. Ambiance is friendly although it was a bit cold the day we went so we left our jackets on throughout dinner. Business there is typically steady so if you go at a peak time there may be a wait. We went at 5:30 on a Friday and got right in but by the time we left around 7, the wait was a few people deep. The food is always good and portions are large. As with most Mexican places, they start you off with chips and salsa. The chips do not have salt on them so you may need to add it if you enjoy a salted chip. The salsa is good and not very spicy although my wife who doesn't do spice said it was a little much for her. I had the Cocina plate which is chicken, shrimp, and steak with onions, peppers, mushrooms, and cheese sauce over rice. This is my go to as it's delicious and always hits the spot. My wife had a fajita quesadilla that was overflowing with meat and veggies and she really enjoyed. We tried some of their Paloma drinks this last time which were very strong but had good flavor. read more

We have been coming to Pancho Villa for years. We love it. The food is always good, and the service is excellent. The tacos baja style are my favorite go to meal. I also love the chicken soup on cold days. It's the best around. The restaurant is always clean and they recently updated the back dining area. If you want good Mexican food, this is the place to try! read more

If you're down on South Main St in High Point and are looking for Mexican food, this is a safe bet. It's nothing over the top, but on par with all the other local Mexican spots. They have an extensive lunch menu, reasonable prices with good portions. Service is good, and food fills the craving. Today I got Pollo Supremo, basically ACP with onions, peppers zucchini and mushrooms added. It was good, and more than I could eat. I'm sure I'll be back! read more

Pros: Fast sitting and cleanliness Drinks were delicious Service was excellent and quick. Loved how our waiter asked if we wanted everything on plate. Cons: The food wasn't as authentic or appealing as "Mexican" food. It more the Mexican American style that goes more to the American side. read more

I went looking for a New Mexican restaurant only to realize, once I got there, that I'd been here before. However, no complaints because the last time, I'd had the Pancho's Tacos and they were so good. So I decided to order the tacos de alambre. Great choice. 3 steak tacos on corn tortillas (my choice) topped with fresh guacamole, rice and beans. This was more than enough for 1 meal. The tacos were so delicious. They actually come with not 1 but 2 corn tortillas so that makes a more secure fold as these are really stuffed. So good!! My only complaint was the service. I was seated quickly and drink order taken. I got an unsweetened tea with little or no ice. Fortunately the table across from me was loaded with kids and parents being constantly waited on so I was able to get a server to bring me some ice. Fortunately they also brought it with more tea as I never would have gotten a refill. I never saw my server the rest of the meal. In fact, I had to flag another server down to get a to-go box. I then pushed my plates to the edge so they'd see I was finished but no one brought a ticket. Finally I went up to the counter to pay without a ticket. Maybe it was because I was a single diner but this happens far too often. read more

We visited Pancho Villa's for the first time for dinner tonight. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous, especially on the kids menu. We had the pollo fundido and the fajitas - the chicken on both was tender and right off the grill. The food came quickly and there was plenty of seating for groups of all sizes. Everything seemed clean and fresh - I would definitely come back here again! read more

Spice is real!!!! Just driving in the middle of nowhere and stumbled upon this restaurant. It was very clean-but cold. Service was good. My friend ordered the spiciest Mexican shrimp meal I had ever tasted. Muy bueno! Turned out great because we both had sinus issues and the shrimp made a huge difference. It came with rice and beans. Salsa great as well. I ordered the Fajita nachos with chicken. Lots of yummy cheese! No complaints except we found the chicken very dry. I would definitely recommend checking out this Restaurant. read more

Great service, very friendly staff. 2 seperate dining areas, even has a fireplace (wish they had a fire going though) brightly lit space. The bar area can be crowded between the booths and the bar seating. Salsa has the perfect spice. The queso is the best. Meat for fajitas well seasoned (but they only give you 2 tortillas). Great experience! read more

Hadn't been in several years. The last time was great ! So today me and my best friend went today and got the lunch Chimmichanga ( shredded beef ) everything was great ! Again ! The chimmi. Was full of beef and flavorable. The flour tortilla was good and crispy which I totally enjoy. The refried beans had a good taste also. He and I both got out of there for $18.00 . Will definitely go back again ......soon. read more

This place was Amazing place. They sell traditional Mexican food that actually tastes authentic. They served me a side dish of shrimp kebabs and aguachile that wasn't even in the menu. Service was fast, friendly and the music was pleasant. definitely will be back. I recommend the sopes, carne asada and the specialty dish. read more

Food is always great and fast. Friendly staff always! My #1 go to Mexican place around. Definitely recommend going!

We both couldn't finish it all because it was a lot of food service is always right on spot if you like Mexican definitely go give them a try read more

Pancho Villas is one of many Mexican restaurants to call High Point home, but its size and menu offerings help it stand out from the pack. The fact that it was moderately crowded a little past two on a Sunday afternoon speaks to its value and general competence as much as it does to its popularity. "Big" seems to define Pancho Villas in several regards. There is plenty of parking, plenty of seating, and plenty to choose from on the menu. These offerings include the usual suspects (tacos, burritos, fajitas, etc.) as well as a few dishes I've yet to see elsewhere. Elote (street corn) is offered here in breaded bite form, and the menu also boasts of red snapper with diablo sauce and fried Cornish hen. From light to heavy, mild to spicy, and vegetarian to omnivorous, there seems to be something for everyone here. The "somethings" I had occasion to try for my first visit were the aforementioned elote bites and a monster chile verde wet burrito. The former were amazing: crunch on the outside and cheesy on the inside with just a hint of sweetness. The burrito was appreciably substantial and appropriately slathered (in lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and guac). The pork inside was cut in smaller pieces than typical for this dish, but it was no less flavorful. Nothing on the plate struck a false note. For the amount of food, Pancho Villas' pricing is more than fair. My burrito (which easily yielded leftovers) came in at $9 while the elote bites (app-sized for two) were $7. As mentioned, it was fairly busy during the visit (and therefore a but loud), but service was up to the task. Pancho Villas is not the best Mexican restaurant I've encountered nor is it the most convenient, but it is a tasty, wallet-friendly option worth going out of the way for should specific cravings (a.k.a. elote bites) hit. read more

So, my company recently acquired another company in High Point, North Carolina. High Point is not a huge community, and if you're in the mood for Mexican food, this is basically one of your only available options. However, despite that, the food here will not disappoint. I've been to practically every Mexican restaurant known to man, and I can say with no hesitation that the food here is fresh and nicely prepared. It's our go-to spot for Mexican food during business trips to High Point, and they can accommodate large parties of 10 or more in their large dining-in space. read more

There is so much better Mexican around here. From start to finish this place was lack luster. The service was very slow and just not good. I had to ask for everything. Then had to wait to get it. Portion sizes were small. Food was just ok, average at best. I told the cashier that the service was bad and she just said "ok really". Yea really lady. No offer was made to correct anything at all. So I would not recommend coming here. Any other Mexican restaurant in the area is better. read more

Easily the best in the area. Always incredibly fast, consistent service with great food.

Our crew goes here quite often! We love everything about this place, the food is always amazing & freshly cooked. The staff are always very nice and quick, they check on us frequently to see if we need refills, more chips or salsa and they never rush us. The environment is always very clean and put together. We normally get seated pretty quick unless they are super busy, and we have more than 16 crew members with us. Not only do we eat here for business lunches, but we also eat here on family outings such as lunch and dinner. We get the same kind of service and so do our children. 10/10 recommend. Our favorite dishes are the lunch/dinner ACP, the lunch/dinner Pollo Fondido, The Cocina special, Shrimp ACP, Pollo Con Broccoli, Taco Salad & our kids love their beans & rice or nachos. We always start off with some chip salsa and cheese dip. read more

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in High Point. Service is always great. Rarely have to wait. They can handle large parties.

Food is pretty good, chips are good. Ponchos tacos are really good and fresh, so are the tacos Baja. Would recommend

Food was acceptable, good portions but not particularly great in any way. Service was slow, and the restaurant wasn't full.

The best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to!!! I love their food. The ingredients are always fresh and as a coke drinker, their Pepsi is amazing some how. The service is always good and speedy!! I go there frequently. read more

Having grown-up in a home with a mom from Laredo TX, Mexican food might as well be home cooking. That said I'm a big fan of Pancho Villas, or as we call it Carnitaville. Why Carnitaville? Because this is one of the few places in the Triad where you will find delicious carnitas; which are as close to course-chopped Lexington-Style BBQ as you'll find at a Mexican place. The owners are a family from the Northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, which is where the Man Pancho Villa was once Governor, and where carnitas had their start. Our other favorites are the fish tacos, which are made with a tasty fried white fish, and the Especial de la Cocina (Special of the kitchen). The Especial de la Cocina is a little bit of everything (chicken, steak and shrimps) over rice, with a cheese sauce and I love to eat it with corn chips. The service IS a bt slower than the other local favorite, La Hacienda, but the food is hands-down forth whatever wait you encounter. Be careful not to fill-up on the corn chips, because it's easy to build a large "corn ball" in your belly if you aren't careful. One last hint for the local tongue" The l's in the name are silent! It's pronounced "Poncho Vee-ah". Google it and you'll learn a ton about the man who the place is named after, Pancho Villa. read more

Food was ok, nothing special, but will never visit again due to horrible service. We were completely and utterly ignored. Manager didn't apologize upon complaint. read more

I am new to this place. I'm trying to find a good place to get carnitas. The pork was not fatty and it had a good flavor and you got a lot of meat. The only bad thing I have to say is they put a jalapeño in the to go plate and the juice got all over my tacos. I can't have spicy food so I had to throw the tacos away. I asked for lime and didn't get it. Didn't ask for a cooked jalapeño and got it. read more

Visiting High Point for daughter's Freshman orientation. We were looking for something to eat after 8:00 pm, and everything pretty much closes up at 9:00. Found this gem open until 10. Let me tell you, the food was AMAZING. Super quick! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine. They have a very large selection of food. I had the Pancho's Tacos and they were DELICIOUS. Also try the Xango for dessert. Next time we are in town we will definitely be going again. read more

Absolutely delicious Mexican food and always fast service. I've never waited long for a table or for our food to arrive. I've tried I don't know how many things on the menu over the years and everything is wonderful. read more

My all time favorite Mexican food establishments. It's not so authentic Mexican, but it is by far way better! All the food is very high quality with meats, and sauces. I'd say it's a mix of midwest Mexican food, with authentic Mexican style mixed in. I come back from college and this place is a first I choose! My favorite Mexican restaurant/restaurant all around from, quality, service, cleanliness, quickness, as well as very friendly host and waiters/waitresses. 10/10 recommend if you are around the highpoint area! read more
