I super loved the chili dog. It was fantastic. The burrito was supposed to come with pinto beans, the black beans were alright but at least could have said something. For the money it's defiantly great! read more

I'd say I am proud to be the 7th five star rating on this joint. I love this place! They will make you a special, even if they don't have the special you want that day, if they have all the ingredients. There is only one complaint. Why aren't they EVERYWHERE!?!?!?!? For reals, there should be a Pancho & Lefkowitz on every corner. At least a few in every town, but with clones of the awesome guys who work there. For reals. All teh specials are the bomb. The crocodile tamale, OMG. Their dogs and sausages are the best pretty much anywhere. These guys are like straight off Madison Sq. Garden with the goodness the have in their dogs, whether you want em Polish, Italian, German, or just plain regular. They have all the fixins, are quick, kind, and just plain better than almost all other food joints in Mount Shasta. read more

Good Mexican food. I ordered veggie burrito, salsa/ chips and veggie tacos. They were delish! I didn't like their salsa though - bland and unseasoned. read more

Seriously delicious hot dogs. My 86-year-old father lives and dies for a good dog, and he SWEARS by this place... My favorite, the huge German brat with sauerkraut. Nice little dining room to get out of the cold in winter, with great blues posters and blues on the radio... Keith rocks ! read more

Poncho & Lefkowitz - Killer Dogs & home-made Mexican - Mexican Near Me - Mount Shasta, California

See all

Five of us had a great lunch there last week! Fish tacos and hot dogs! Quite tasty!!!!

I've got 3 words for you: Crispy Pork Quesadilla. Get it. You can thank me later. Oh, i should probably mention, they only offer this on Fridays -- which is my one gripe! But seriously, it's the best! You're welcome. read more

Perfect off the highway stop. It is always nice to leave your money in the towns you travel through, and even better when they are cool people serving good food. Had a good kraut dog and a taco to make sure and enjoy the eclectic nature of the place and was out of there for under 10 bucks. Hit the spot! Thanks read more

For street food in Mount Shasta, Poncho and Lefkowitz hits the spot. They have really fun specials on different days of the week, and some overall great fare for their regular menu. I've always had really personable service from them as well. read more

Food is always consistent and yummy! Always order chicken or steak quesadillas and on Fridays their special is crispy pork! Ordering a soft taco is almost the same a quesadilla but smaller portion in my opinion. read more

Poncho & Lefkowitz - Crispy pork quesadilla on Fridays! - Mexican Near Me - Mount Shasta, California

Wow! I have driven past this place for years and never bothered trying it! Maybe it was because there was always a long line outside when I was in a hurry, but it's totally worth the wait! They get the food out quickly and everyone is so friendly and fun! The chicken tacos and fish tacos are to die for! I had them 5 days in a row last week read more

Quick and tasty. Convenient and clean. There is a nice little side room to stay out of the cold. Bathroom was clean. Really liked the dogs. read more

Poncho & Lefkowitz - Mexican Near Me - Mount Shasta, California

Great little place! We stopped by for lunch on our walk through Mt. Shasta. The place seemed busy, but the wait wasn't as long as expected for the amount of people ordering. I ordered two fish tacos, and my husband had the Big Nasty. Both were amazing! The fish tacos were flavorful and the cream sauce was delicious. My husband wasn't able to try any because I ate both. :) His burrito was also very good. When we come back to Mt. Shasta, we will try to stop here again. read more

Always love eating Keith's food! Been a fan since the start and never been let down. Simple and fresh! Love the Friday special pulled pork quesadilla can't get enough. Local favorite give it a try. read more

Poncho & Lefkowitz - Young crew rocks a chicken quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Mount Shasta, California

Great food and probably the best lunch prices in mount shasta. We got the lunch special and a quesadilla which they were able to put on a corn tortilla for me. Not huge portions but perfect for lunch, and quality food beats quantity. Chicken was in a delicious sauce and very tender, the grilled veggies on the lunch special were perfectly grilled and not over seasoned with a nice portion size for bell peppers! Nice outdoor seating and some indoor seating as well. Pet friendly for the bench seating, we brought our dog and one of the guys working there was super sweet to her! read more

Our family has eaten here off and on since Keith was in front of Payless in his tiny little portable. Yes, before Payless was bought by Rite aid) in the snow we would eat in his "heated dining" tent. Loved the dogs then and love them now in his (fairly new, actually 10plus yrs.) location. Our daughters ate there for lunch all through high school. Now one in NY and one in Seattle still need their Pancho Fix whenever they are home! Can't beat a kraut dog from there or a kitchen sink. Great food, great atmosphere and great music! Thanks Keith read more

Tasty, slightly unconventional food. The sausages are nice and tasty, and I found the "infamous fish taco" to be pretty good as well. The price is a little bit high - about $4-5 for a slightly small portion. Still, I would say it was worth it. An interesting place that's worth going to if you're just stopping by town. read more

Great little place. Love the homage to Townes. They are always nice and the burrito is just as tasty each time I order it. I can't complain about their hours but you have been warned, they ain't open late!! Get there early and often, won't disappoint. read more

The big kahuna so awesome I love the unique taste Whenever I'm in Mount Shasta that's where I wanna go the works is also one of my favorites

Very under whelming food. This is a big local hangout, however ownwership has changed within the last 2 years and the food is not the same. This is Tex-Mex food and I cannot speak to the dog,sausage menu. We waited over 30 minutes to get our sub par food. We had 4 tacos a burrito and a side if rice. My husband handed me the bag with the tacos and burrito. It was so light I thought we only got half our order. The tacos had about a tablespoon of meat in them, nothing like you see pictured. Burrito was small with mostly rice and beans and again very little meat. Both chicken and steak were cooked on the same gooey uncleaned grill so they taste the same. Mind you we got there less than 30 minutes after they opened andcthe grill was a mess. They ran out of steak within 45 minutes of opening. I think people like this place because for My Shasta it is a cheap meal. If you like a thick flour tortilla and beans and rice you might be alright. For us we will be er go back . We prefer authentic mexican food. One tip is go over to Berryvale during your long wait and get your chips and salsa. You will have something to eat while you wait and you will get more for your money. Also do not let a short line fool you as the locals call their orders in. There maybe 10 orders in front of yours. You can only make so much so fast in a 25 ft trailer. read more

My family and I found this place on line and ended our recent road trip here because it sounded so great. And it was every bit as good as we had hoped. The food was fabulous. It was a perfect mix of cultures coming together to make delicious-ness. Keith the owner was very welcoming and we will be back for sure. read more

My kids are picky eaters and they both give this place two thumbs up! White rice and pinto bean burrito for Ella and grilled chicken taco for sarah. Me? Jambalaya burrito. Tasty! read more

Poncho & Lefkowitz - You can't beat the view. - Mexican Near Me - Mount Shasta, California

Great little place for burritos and hot dogs. A Mt Shasta staple, Poncho and Leftys has been a local go-to for years. Having changed hands this past year, the transition had been seamless. Food is better than ever and new owners are affably accommodating. Try it. You'll like it ! read more

If you are lucky enough to arrive on the jambalya burrito special day, do not miss this opportunity to experience the best gol durned bite you can get in your mouth. Everything else is great and the kraut dogs are the big kahuna. read more

Big Kahuna-phreaky phenomenal!! Quick service. Love it. Keep up the good work. Definitely adding to my favorites list.

This is stationary food truck with one restroom. But it does have 5 tables in an air conditioned alcove. The menus choices are varied polish sausage, hot dogs, etc. And tamales, fish tacos (yum!) , nachos, etc. and even a veggie taco! My man says the tamale comes with a hot! Salsa. But he did enjoyed it read more

Tiny little Mount Shasta secret on the north boulevard. Been eating there for some twenty-five years, and despite a change in ownership, still had the best 'grab n' run' Mexican food in town. read more

Found this place on yelp and pulled off the freeway to find it, it's definitely worth the stop!

Really tasty Mexican food served in large portions. Well, served is not exactly the right word. Poncho & Lefkowitz is street food. It's a local secret/favorite. Burritos are incredible and a very reasonable price. Take your food with your or eat it at one of the picnic tables near the food stand. They don't take credit cards, so bring cash (or a check if you're local). This is probably the best burrito you can get in the area. read more

This hotdog cart comes with great service and great food. I personally think that you can't go wrong with the polish dog so that is what I'll recommend to you. You can get something else but it probably won't be as delicious as a polish dog. Nah, I'm just kidding...all the food great and if you can't make up your mind then just go for the special. read more

You know it's going to be a good place when the line to order is insane. The wait was a bit long to get your food, but it was well worth it. The burritos are amazing and the strawberry lemonade....YUMMY! This is a place you definitely do not want to pass by. read more

We are longtime customers of Pocho and Lefkowitz. Sadly, since the ownership has changed, the quality of the food just isn't the same. It is my understanding the new owners are using the same recipes, but the food is just okay as opposed to being great (as it use to be). Perhaps we have had a few days where the quality is just not as good. We will continue to go back with hopes that the taste of the food improves. read more

My wife and I stopped by the restaurant on Thursday, June 12, 2014. The place was dark and appeared to be closed. No lights on in the evening. read more

A nice taco and hot dog stand. Definitely a local place. Bring cash as they don't accept cards. Had a couple tacos and the crispy pork quesadilla. Tacos were okay both the chicken and fish were bland. Pork was delicious, but it was more a large taco than a quesadilla. Don't get me wrong, I'd gladly order another one! Yummy strawberry lemonade with free refill. read more

I work pretty close to here now and have stopped by a couple of times. Last week I had, what I think was called a Kauai burrito, it had a pineapple sauce mixed into a chicken burrito, it was freaking good! And today I had a steak burrito which was also delicious and grounding in this snowy weather. The owner, Keith, is friendly and creates an uplifting atmosphere! read more

We met the owner- great guy. We had genuine amazing burritos on Cinco de Mayo. Locals were all over the place which says great things about quality, value, service, etc. It will become a regular experience every time I am in Mt Shasta. read more

We are heading to Portland OR on the way for a stop over for lunch. Awesome! Hit the spot for 8 of us includes the old and young ones. My parents are picky. Surprise they have 2nd rounds. Worth stopping for a meal and heated seating area for a break and loo. read more

Best fish tacos anywhere. Also, super hot links. Friendly staff. Great prices!

Excellent place to stop for a taco or sausage. I love the fresh ingredients and super reasonable prices. I travel through Mt. Shasta frequently and this is my must stop place for lunch. read more

Stopped by this small restaurant . It's a very nice take out place and to also sit out and eat . The owner is really welcoming and nice :) the tacos were good the burritos was heavy ( could have added lesser beans and rice ) I would definitely recommend this place . read more

Seriously delicious food for a super reasonable price! Every single special I've ever had was amazing and they all sounded pretty weird, lol. The owner is very nice and friendly and the service is speedy. Perfect place for lunch on a nice day! read more
