Chicharrones
Geoff K.

This is THE taco joint. They've got the freshest ingredients, the most tender, juicy, delicious meats, and the big hitter: Chicharonnes. Not fried to death pork skins in a bag like I know you're imagining, but rubbed and fried pork belly chunks that are to die for. I believe it is a South American recipe (possibly Peruvian) that is entirely unique to Ponchito's, and I make a special effort to get lunch here whenever I'm within an hours distance and not restrained for time Not that they're slow, by any means. I've waited for fresh Cheech to fry before, but they've always got the standards ready to go. I only eat tacos, having perfected my favorite combination, but I've had a quesadilla before which was massive and delicious. The burritos are huge and the super burritos are, well.... Insane. The two gentlemen that have literally always been behind the counter for lunch are amazing, friendly, and quick. They clearly know what they're doing, and it has shown for the years I've been coming here as the quality has never dropped. Big shouts out. Don't sleep on the cheech, folks.

This seems to be a Syracuse trying. The divier the place the better the food, yes I think I just coined a new word. Don't be fooled this is not an authentic restaurant of the Mexican kind, instead it is a top of the line Tex Mex restaurant. There's about seating for 15 inside and four picnic table out front. Not when you walked in the menus posted behind the counter but your best bet is just to go ahead and ask the food preppers what's good. That's exactly what I did and I walked out with a super burrito with chicken and some of the best chicharones I've ever had. You have three or four protein options, black or pinto beans, fresh salsa fresh guacamole and the rest of your burrito fillings. Just by looking over the counter you can tell how fresh the food is and you're getting stuff that's fresh out of the kitchen for your food preparation. The wraps are very fresh and don't burst when you're trying to eat. I would rather eat here than at any Chipotle. The food servers and service are great, helpful, cheerful, and really do make you feel welcome. Some of my coworkers had massive quesadillas that really would feed 2 I had a few slices and happy to report that they were great. It's a bit of a chore to find this place if you're from out of town but don't let the area deter you, as with all good food finds the most unexpected places always have the best food.

Gernorous portions, I had a couple corn tacos and an iced tea for lunch. My wife had a taco salad and it was enough for two meals.

Wow! We were extremely impressed with the food, service, and atmosphere on this Monday evening…read more I'm not a huge Mexican food fanatic, but my wife and son certainly are, so we chose this restaurant to celebrate our daughter's 21st birthday; especially since a margarita was high on her list of birthday wishes! The menu offers a tremendous variety of choices. I decided on the steak tacos, and they were outstanding and packed with flavor and just the right amount of kick.Our waiter (who may have been the manager, Enrique, if I heard correctly) was soft-spoken, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire meal. We never had to wait for anything. He even took care of our to-go boxes and accommodated a last-minute addition to our order without hesitation; thank you for that. Great service like that makes a lasting impression. Also the food came out surprisingly quick; under 10 minutes for sure. Before visiting, all I really knew was that the restaurant had a strong reputation and colorful, authentic décor. I left with a full stomach, a new appreciation for their food, and a clear understanding of why so many people enjoy dining here. We'll definitely be back!

Walked in for lunch on a Saturday little after 11:30. Had some minor communication issues as we…read morewere immediately handed a menu when we walked in and asked if we knew what we wanted. I said we wanted to sit down and look and they wanted to do takeout for us as evidence by our receipt saying takeout. Once we clarified no it was for dine or we were ok. Ordered mini chimichangas, and birria nachos with lemonade. Food came out SUPER fast and very tasty!! Loved the music and decor as well very fun, colorful and interesting. They also gave us some nachos and salsa. Very flavorful birria nachos and the salsa was light and refreshing
