Poco's has been around a long time and I have been there a few times over the years. This is a casual restaurant and bar with a comedy club upstairs. The bar room has a large 2-sided bar with dining tables on both sides of the bar, plus there is a separate dining room. There is a large selection of draft beer and cocktails. I had the house margarita and the hubs had Dos Equis on tap. The marg was made with Cuervo and triple sec, had the right amount of tang and wasn't overly sweet. We sat in the back room by the bar with a large group of friends on a Sunday night. There are hooks on the walls for bags and jackets, which is helpful in the winter since the seating in that room is all high top tables and stools. The walls are made up of windows that are actually roll up doors to allow for an indoor/outdoor effect during nice weather. The service was good. We had a very helpful waiter, who knew the menu and was able to make recommendations. We were served complimentary chips with 2 types of salsa. One was a milder chunky salsa and the other was a zestier pureed style salsa. We ordered guacamole for the chips. The guac was good, but not the best I've ever had. For dinner, I opted for a daily special of shrimp stuffed avocado. It was a halved avocado stuffed with chopped grilled shrimp and pico de gallo, served over a bed of romaine with a creamy house made dill dressing. This was one of the best salads I have had in a while! It was very fresh, flavorful, and had the right amount of spiciness. The hubs had the Korean pulled pork tacos, also from the daily special menu. His was a generous portion of 3 soft tacos filled with pork and topped with slaw, avocado and cheese. He said they were very tasty. read more

Stopped by for a comedy show and had some food downstairs while waiting. The service was great as well as the food. I was initially not impressed by the portion of food in comparison to other taco joints by was impressed with their quality. Would stop by again for a night of great food and entertainment all under one roof. read more

Poco's Restaurant - American Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Going for the Bar experience is acceptable, but for "dinner", still a big No. As of 7-2017 read more

What do you get when you cross a bad American restaurant with a bad Mexican restaurant? You get a really bad Mexican American restaurant. I tried this place at 5:30pm on October 15, 2018. I had chips and salsa, the 9-Layer Dip and a house margarita on the rocks. The margarita was strong, but that's pretty much the only good thing I can say about this place. The mild 'salsa' tasted like it was straight up canned tomato purée with no spices. The 9-Layer Dip was ridiculously bad. It was a plate heaped high with shredded iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, Jalapeño rings and nothing else that I could see. When I dug way down into my 9-Layer Dip, I found a few beans, a little bit of sour cream, a bit of shredded, tasteless cheese and about 8 little pieces of a diced onions. This was the most bland, unappetizing thing I've been served at a restaurant in years. It's like this place buys everything in pre-made bags in a grocery store and just dumps them on a restaurant plate when you order. They can't even be bothered to sprinkle on a few spices. The people at the bar look happy, so for that reason only, I gave Poco's two stars instead of one. I gave them the benefit of the doubt on the off chance that their bartenders and cocktails are good. But their food is definitely sub-par if my dinner was any indication. read more

It's very nice on the inside and the food is good but the wings were ok and the nachos were amazing. Everything is very Mexican it's super nice including the bathroom. read more

So I've never had poco's in person before but because of Covid I saw them on DoorDash soo we decided to order & It was absolutely the best decision ever! Every time we order it's soo good! They even wrote on my burrito which was HUGE! Bigger than my hand that's for sure. It was delicious and surprisingly still warm even though it was cold out. My boyfriend had gotten the chimichangas and he loved It every time! Their Queso is 100% not store bought. It's legit queso and it's made with real cheese and salsa , we get mushrooms in ours and it's delicious! We also always get the chili! It's perfect and has a good kick to it. I love it. This place is 10/10 food wise. I can't speak for the inside of the place since I've never been but our food has always been great and I will continue to order and support this business! I promise I will visit inside the place soon! We order from here probably once a week or once every two weeks! Highly recommend if you're craving Mexican food! read more

Had a very pleasant experience at Poco's amid all the craziness of COVID, Lexi and Katie took excellent care of us. Will definitely be back here more often! read more

kaitlyn was great server. yummy drinks, good comedy. caesar wrap was ehh. the Mexican food looked really good and the energy in the establishment was nice. read more

Bartenders are nice, but I wouldn't eat or drink anything here, unless it comes in a package or a can.

UPDATE: to clarify, this review was written several weeks after the incident, and it most certainly did happen, Michelle. The individual was an older man with white hair and glasses and I distinctly remember him giving us a snarky attitude for not having every single person there ready to go at the same time to the extent where we decided not to go. And to further clarify, just because you're busy or have been in business for years doesn't mean your food is good or your colloquial reviews are satisfactory. I never leave reviews on yelp so the fact that I went out of my way to write this one review should be a testament to the truth of this incident occurring. read more

I love Poco's. Maybe it's not authentic Mexican food but Tex-Mex can be equally as good. Plus they have some American additions (Burgers, Wings, Cheesesteak Eggrolls, and FRIED PICKLES) on the menu. I highly recommend the Pickle Pickle. It's my favorite fried pickle appetizer in the area. I find myself comparing other pickles to this. It's only 4 spears so you can definitely eat an order yourself. It comes with a yogurt dill sauce that is drinkable. It's a very fun and friendly atmosphere. The service is fast! FYI - Half Priced Margaritas on Thursdays! read more

The drinks are pretty good if you're a fan of margaritas. The food is freshly prepared and waiting staff is very friendly make you feel right at home. read more

Usually really enjoy coming here. But this evening they let us down a lot. Waited over 40 minutes for food that included soup, and appetizer and 2 simple entrees. Even mentioned politely that we were on a slightly tight time schedule. After 40 minutes told them it would have to be to go and waited another 15 minutes. Check overcharged us on drinks and when we got the food home the order wasn't right. This was on a Wednesday evening so it wasn't even very busy. Our server was fairly good mannered but never offered the customary chips and salsa and was not attentive to our long wait. All this for almost $100. Just not acceptable. read more

We are from California traveling through and stopped here for dinner. The food was great and the Margaritas were wonderful. Service from Zack was also great. They also serve wine from the Valle de Guadalupe located in Northern Baja California. If you are looking for great Mexican food and drinks I would recommend that you come to Poco's read more

Went to Peco's before the Comedy show with some friends. Our waiter was very attentive, I would say our service was excellent. However, the food was not so good. My wife got the grilled fish tacos which she said was good. I ordered the beef fajitas. The beef in my fajitas was so tough, my jaw was sore from chewing. My son ordered the New York strip steak which had no flavor. The steak literally had no taste. Over all I would say it was the worst meal I have ever had. read more

The blandest food I have ever eaten. I ordered their version of a Cobb salad and added chipotle chicken. The salad came chopped with maybe one half of a sliced egg and chicken that was so tasteless I thought it was boiled in water and left to dry on a countertop. The only reason I gave them 2 stars was because the service was great and the drinks were decent. My takeaway, just come for drinks. read more

I'm not a fan of everything they have and have had several bad meals. However I do like their quesadillas, nachos, chicken enchilada, Pocochilada and potato skins. The chips and salsa is ok but the chips seem to always be fresh and not stale. I made the mistake of ordering the fajitas once and won't do it again. I'm from Texas and love Tex-mex but do not understand when fajitas are not served on a cast iron skillet. Even Chilis gets their fajitas right. I also don't like that you have to pay extra for beans and rice I think that's just a staple with every Mexican dish and should be included. Another thing is their fountain drinks are not good. They use a off brand for cokes and sprite etc and it's just bad. Ending on a positive the service has been overall good for the most part and out of the Mexican in Doylestown I'll go here unless I want to drive to Chilis or Taco Bell. read more

Pocos or should I say "joke os" This place makes my moms boiled hotdogs look good. If I didn't know any better I thought I was in the hood. I'm not gonna lie the music was on point. Playing rap songs while sipping tequila really helped my joints. When I first bit into my taco my expression was priceless. It reminded me of the time when I thought I was homeless. Would I go back? 100%. How could you go wrong when you play rap songs like that. Some may say the food was mediocre. However, I here they do comedy night with some pretty good jokesters. On this note, order a shot of don Julio and relax. Your gonna need it after being disappointed paying that food tax. Yours truly, Dave and Jess (Jess wrote this) Anonymous read more

It's no secret that everyone who works there hates their lives. They don't pay well which is probably why their food sucks so bad because no one actually wants to be there. I'm surprised they have customers who want to be there. The only people who frequent pocos are junkies from the crack house they call a motel and their string of weirdos they call "regulars." They got one star because their drinks are solid and I'll eat fried pickles anywhere. also I had to give at least one star. Anyway, save your money and make shitty tacos at home if you want food that's better and not 20$ per meal. ALSO I get "how could it be so bad if it's been around for 30+ years?" Why would anyone stay married to someone they hate for 30+ years? People settle. read more

Well, if you read the reviews you probably wouldn't choose this place for a meal. I however, like to find out how bad (or good) a place is for my self so we ventured to Pocos for a meal before a Saturday night comedy show upstairs. Lesson 1) when a 17yr old babysitter warns you that the food is terrible, if you don't heed, it's all on you. Probably rated with the worst food I have ever eaten. Server & bar staff were very nice. Don't take the stomach distress out on them. read more

So consistently mediocre...overpriced under-spiced insult to American Mexican food. I give Taco Bell a higher rating than this. Poco's did a renovation with an enclosed glass patio & bar but that still doesn't make up for the terrible food and lackluster margaritas. While the menu is extensive and enticingly worded, the food doesn't live up to its descriptions. Chicken Fajitas were served with cold white flour things labeled tortillas and the chicken was bland with maybe a lot of oregano or other stale mystery spice. It was served on a plate that had been microwaved. Guacamole consisted of a green tasteless mush that could have been made in China. It was that authentic. The other dish which was a grey meat special, I wish I could delete from my taste receptor cell memory. We remembered why we didn't like Pocos 10 years ago and sadly, nothing has changed regarding food quality. However, if you're into hanging out at a local bar, this is a good spot to meet & greet fellow barflies. *Response to Michelle L.: I think it's great you're taking the time to respond on Yelp to the many negative reviews. I hope Pocos does follow through & make improvements. Those fajitas I had the other week were just horrible. You may want to look for other food vendors to supply your tortillas. And new recipes? Just a suggestion. Everything we had was sub par. We're not the only people who feel this way. Eating at your establishment was a total waste of money. I'm writing this on Yelp hoping to save somebody else the expensive mistake of mediocre food. I wish I had read the Yelp reviews before I went there. And I've had better margaritas at chain restaurants where they openly admit to using a mix. But hey, if you say it's not, ok. Read previous reviews. Nobody loves your margaritas. Be the change, Michelle L.! Or call Restaurant Impossible. He'd have a field day with your food. read more

The food was outstanding, so delicious. We also had their homemade jalapeño poppers.. they were to die for.. the bartenders were great.. the comedy cabaret was awesome.. it was a truly perfect casual date night! I'd highly recommend read more

These people spend more time defending their poor customer service, instead of simply apologizing. It is true that not all the time the client is right. But, the client should always be respected for letting the restaurant know about their experience. Even if it simply the customer's perception of the service. How else can the restaurant improve? This is the first time that i have gone to the trouble of writing a negative review. I have certainly been to many other restaurants where aspects of the service are not great (or have been fantastic). In both cases, the restaurant should hear this. But no way should the restaurant employees or owner, especially, react in any way but take it as an element of the customer experience that they should work to address. Not simply defend it as if nothing is wrong....! read more

I just came from Poco's and boy am I starving! Why am I starving after just coming from a restaurant? Because the food was...how do you say in spanish?...oh yea, El Gross-o. They should change the name of this place to "The Can Opener" because after trying to eat what they served it's clearly the only kitchen utensil they use. The Salsa must come from the Dollar store and the beef definitely comes from cardboard cows. Update: after telling myself I would never return some friends wanted to go for beer and tacos. The beer was cold and the tacos weren't too shabby. I've raised my rating a bit. Hopefully things continue to improve. read more

A group of ten of us went to this restaurant last night to have a goodbye dinner for a work colleague.Upon arrival,we asked for a place to sit since the bar was full and we were still waiting for the whole party to arrive.We told the owner we would be having drinks and appetizers,followed by dinner-a nice sized tab,no doubt! we were rudely informed (by the owner,no less) that this was not possible;when we tried a second time,he told us to get out.We should've left immediately,but with part of our party still enroute,we decided to stay.At no time during the unremarkable meal did the owner approach us to mitigate the earlier unpleasantness. After a $200+ meal of mediocre,over priced Mexican food,we left but on my way out I reiterated our displeasure.We were once again left with the owner's rude,surly response "Get Out". read more

I don't know how to explain it. I want POCOS to be amazing. I live in doylestown and pass it always. But every time I go it's disappointing. The best way to describe the tacos are as if your mom made them when you were a kid - but only bland and tasteless. The 9 layer dip was just lettuce, an incredible amount of lettuce, on top of maybe a spoonful of refried beans from a can which costs 9$. I don't understand why it can't be better, I really want to go and support it but every time I go it's actually bad enough where I feel I should leave a review :( I want to leave on a positive - the waitress tonight was really sweet. read more

This may be the second worst Mexican of my long and varied career as an eater. They don't even try to make things seem Mexican. Everything is bland and lifeless. The place itself is all right. The staff is mainly acceptable. But the food does not get there from anywhere. They need to remove the word "Mexican" from their sign and leave the word "American." If you have rated this place above two stars, get back in your car and continue north on 616 to the tacky little shopping center in Plumsteadville. Find El Mariachi. Eat something. Be ashamed of your Pocos review. Change it now that you know better. read more

Best place to come relax and sip some delicious margaritas. Try a "Preferred" fresh squeezed margarita if you like martinis. It's awesome! I also love their chimichangas, delicios! Their new "Poco's South" is beautiful! Awesome garage doors that open up this bar and it becomes out door! Open, airy, and did I mention its beautiful?! Wayne did an awesome job! Surely the new hot spot in Doylestown! Check it out and see for yourself. read more

I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN! I have been going to Poco's for years. The food was always good. They jacked up the price of the chimichanga and the portion has shrank. And the last 3 times I went, our order was wrong. Forget Poco's, go to Tu Casa in Chalfont. Same quality food, their chimichanga is $3 cheaper, and the portion is bigger. read more

Recently gave Poco's another try for Cinco de Mayo and was disappointed again. This is your average tex-mex food, with nothing outstanding. Oh and the salsa and chips leaves much to be desired imho. very watery salsa. some like it that way; i prefer to see some ingredients left intact. read more

Went to poco's for dinner with my family. Everybody thought that their dinner was kind of blah. Mine was about average but overpriced so that made it below average. The house margaritas the best thing they got going for them but that's still pretty highly priced if you don't get it on Thursday half off day. Would not generally recommend this place unless I was recommending a comedy club where you can get good margaritas. Update: thanks Michelle for response. Will ask for recommendations next time. Btw our server was good and the guy bringing the chips was great. So will call that out as a plus. read more

Michele to answer your questions: I had chicken Fajitas which weren't seasoned well, and my wife had shrimp chimichanga which she described as mushy and fishy. Why did we come back the 6-7 times even though the owner was rude? Well, people have some bad days and I believe in giving local business my money versus corporations. I am a self proclaimed "foody", what I have to say positive about your restaurant you have a good local, and your new side bar looks great. But, that's where it ends. You need to take stock of your reviews, after reading them again you have an issue with the quality and taste of your food, and the overall professionalism of the staff. Maybe talk to to owner and explain the issues. I don't want to see pocos go under, but Doylestown is super competitive place to eat. I hope this helps, and good luck! read more

About 3 years ago 5 stars across the board in every area including comedy upstairs. Food, drinks, entertainment and service were on point. Last I was there was this past August and now I will not return with all the other options dtown has to offer. Tables chairs and floor were sticky. I had my baby with me and the seat that attaches to the table was caked in I don't even know what. I couldn't sit him in it and there was not another option to sit my baby. It was an afternoon so it was slow. The sever was nice and knowledgable of the menu. The food was luke warm and not flavorful. Something I could have prepared much better at home. I had 6 adults with me, 2 kids and a baby. The kids wouldn't eat their meals and the adults were not impressed. Lastly I had to take my daughter to the bathroom and I wish she could have held it. It was not up to any standard. To improve Pocos: I think this place needs a serious scrub down. Baby chairs included. A downsized menu to focus and master popular menu items and maybe add three options mild medium and spicy. So all different people can enjoy the same dish. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here looking for a tasty Mexican dinner, what we got was far from it. Honestly, the best part was the chips. Both our burritos looked terrible and tasted the exact same way. Sloppy presentation and just a bad taste in general. It looked like they just threw it on the plate as fast as they could without caring. Our meals were both soggy and smothered in sauces. My boyfriend didn't like his first burrito so he sent it back and they had the audacity to charge him for both. We could have gone to chiptole for a better cheaper Mexican meal. The decor of this place is not only tacky but also so unoriginal. We regret even walking in the door. There is nothing Mexican about this place from the food to the wait service. You can bet we will not be coming back. read more

No.No...NO. I had a grilled chicken taco salad. The salsa was like ketchup.The guacamole was bland. The lettuce was in big chunks & should have been chopped. The tomato that was cut in quarters should have diced. The taste of the chicken was nothing special & I could of done a better job at home. Whatever my boyfriend had I can't remember but he didn't like his either we have never went back for a 2nd shot because it is that bad. read more

Best place in town for happy hour. The new menu and renovations have made this a regular in our "rotation". read more

Poco's Restaurant - Have one for me - American Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

A VERY big DISAPPOINTMENT. The Guacamole was a sauce texture and tasted very old. I ordered a "Mexican pizza" for dinner and it was surprisingly a bigger disappointment than the guacamole. Mexican pizzas are supposed to be deep fried tortillas with beans/cheese/toppings (Taco Bell makes these). This Mexican pizza however, was a raw flour tortilla microwaved with beans/cheese and CARROTSSSS... Please understand that carrots do not belong in ANY Mexican food and Mexican pizzas aren't made with raw tortillas. If you do not know how to make them, please pay a visit to Taco Bell. The best thing about this restaurant is the Diet Pepsi. read more

I love Poco's. I've been going here since I was a little kid. If you're expecting real mexican food, turn away now. Poco's is your stop for TEX MEX. The Green Mary Lou is the best dish on the menu, super spicy and just all around amazing. Endless chips and salsa certainly help my rating, as does really great house margaritas, with salt of course. Don't forget to ask for the "hot" salsa they make in house. It's not offered on the menu but if you ask for it with your chips it makes everything so much better (spicier if you're into it). Great for those who are fire-breathers. read more

The service was great and the place was spotless so I'm giving them two stars. The food was meh. It was serviceable but wouldn't go out of my way to go there again. The burrito was a bummer, the vegetables were not exactly dazzling and the salsa was watery, but my friend got the taquitos which looked a lot better. Typical bland PA food. It was also overpriced. No thanks. read more

Tonight was to be a special birthday celebration for a very special friend and our group of 30 was told this was an excellent Mexican restaurant. Boy were we disappointed. The food was horrible. Seasoned terribly. Drinks were expensive with no alcohol.. just bad. In fact rancid describes my fajita...... poor young waiter did his best but owner who appeared impaired was screaming at him .and was extremely rude to the guests. . .I'm so glad there is a new Mexican restaurant opening soon at rt313 and ferry Rd.... also I just want to mention we moved our party to the Plumsteadville Inn we're we felt welcomed and received excellent service. One star is one two many .... read more
