I'm down from Phoenix for the weekend and am staying with a friend when I got hungry and asked Google for "Restaurants near me" when Poncho's Mexican Food" showed up right around the corner. This is a little dive that you have got to try. This little hole in the wall is amazing. The service was fast, I mean lighting fast and the price point was spot on. We ordered Take Out and took in home. It was delicious and the portions were better than expected. This 6'5" 280lb man got his fill. I must recommend this restaurant by saying, "Don't let appearances fool you". Check it out. read more

We came here because we heard that the Breakfast Burritos were among the best in town. Personally I have always been a big fan of Nicos, so I had my reservations. Thankfully, this place not only met my expectations, it exceeded them! I can now safely say that the beat breakfast burrito in town is Poncho's. Hands down!!! I recommend their bacon and egg version, which is a humongous thing, filled with crisp bacon and juicy eggs. It's super good! When you walk in, you are met with the same type of decor as you would find in any other hole in the wall burrito place. In fact, it feels a lot like Nico's too. The customer service was ok. When I asked the woman working there what she would recommend, and although I know she clearly heard me, she did not answer, which struck me as odd. Still, it's a great place to visit for a breakfast burrito. I am hoping to try their lunch soon! read more

Had to update my previous review considering they have failed 3 recent safety inspections. For me, enough is enough. I wouldn't feel safe eating here. The local news stated a 4th inspection soon to follow. We'll see how that turns out, but they have yet to comply after the previous 2. read more

Huge burritos and amazing service. $3.99 for a burrito the size of a baby's arm? Oh heck yeah! Wish I got their salsa but the breakfast burrito I ordered stood very well by itself. This place doesn't need an introduction. Poncho's is located in a strip mall. Other than that, the restaurant owners are friendly and inviting. Enough said, go give it a shot! read more

Poncho's Restaurant - Ultimate breakfast burrito next to my work phone for size comparison. So delicious! It lasted me until lunch time! - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

On my way to Summit Hut, stopped by and had the Machaca Burro. It was great! Lots of eggs and cheese, and the Machaca had good onion flavor. The burrito came out piping hot, I even had to wait a few minutes to avoid burning my mouth. The little girl behind the counter was so cute! So polite. read more

This tiny little place is easy to miss, in the corner of this small retail center. I went there for lunch, after they won the "Best Bang for Your Buck Burrito," in the Tucson Weekly Best of Tucson issue. Sure enough, I got a delicious, big carne asada burrito, for $5.25. Check it out. read more

My favorite local place to eat. The family who runs it is very friendly. Loved the California burrito that Pancho himself recommended to us last time we came. Came back today for some more. Thanks for the great food and service! read more

This place has gone downhill. Less ingredients and becoming more and more inconsistent. We went for breakfast on Sunday and the girl at the counter had no idea what was in the items we asked about. Poor service. read more

I go a different place every Saturday to try a breakfast burrito (I'm on a quest to find my favorite) and i was pleasantly surprised by this one! Great price, for a HUGE burrito. The taste was overall great, the tortilla, the burrito itself and I really enjoyed both salsas. The girl at the counter was super friendly and my burrito came out fast and hot! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the horchata was gross. I get horchata everywhere I go, and this was my absolute least favorite. But everything other than that was fine. read more

Great Breakfast burritos. I was looking for a new Sunday brunch spot. I ordered the steak breakfast burrito, my husband had the Poncho burrito which has a little of everything. Our friend had the bacon, egg, and cheese burrito. We all took home leftovers. The coffee was good too. We'll be back. read more

Ponchos is the fucking FIRE. One of the last reasonably priced Mexican food spots in the center of town, this place also hooks it up FAT! I'm talking the burrito I just got is like a fucking babies arm. This god damn things got heft as the memes say. Ponchos is the real deal fam read more

I have been eating carnitas for 40 years now and realize that it is not easy to make correctly. Their carnitas burritos are quite good and are consistent from week to week, month to month. What I find most troubling about most restaurants that make carnitas, is that they are inconsistent and undependable. Poncho's has it figured out. Their pricing is outstanding as well. Quality pays off in the long run. read more

True hole in the wall restaurant with great food and people. Best breakfast burrito in town by far and great pricing

Poncho's has the best Mexican food!! We usually call in our order after a long day at work, when we don't time to make something for dinner. And we've not been disappointed. Our favorites are their delicious burritos--chicken or bean. And their staff is super nice. This is our new favorite restaurant. We highly recommend Poncho's! read more

We were looking for a Good mexican restaurant..So I yelp a place and Ponchos came up with pretty good reviews. I ordered the taquitos with rice and beans on the side and hubby ordered the chile Colorado plate and they were delicious..they are not stingy on their portions and you have more than enough food to fill your belly. I highly recommend this place read more

Tucked into a little corner of a tiny strip of businesses, Ponchos is one of those places you drive past, see the sign that says $2.50 breakfast burritos M-Th and tell yourself, "I should really try that." I had been in once before on the weekend and was fairly underwhelmed by what we got. My daughter really loves menudo, so I got her some. I got a sausage, egg and potato breakfast burrito. Everything, including the salsa, was bland. I will note that it was entertaining to watch the tiny lady in the back climb on a stool and ladle menudo out of the huge pot on the stove. I decided to visit them on a weekday for one of their $2.50 burritos. This time I choose chorizo, potato and egg. I will say that my burrito was so speedily prepared I barely had a chance to fill two salsa containers before they tell me it's ready. I swear that the weekday breakfast burrito was smaller than the one I paid full price on the weekend for. Maybe that's just the glutton in me speaking. It was, again, bland and the potatoes were soggy. The salsa was better than I remember and that saved it somewhat. The little specks of black that laced the salsa tell me that something was fire-roasted, so it's likely pretty fresh. Poncho's lands on the third star for cheap, fast, close-to-home breakfast burritos on a weekday. The rest of the menu is yet to be explored. read more

If what you want is some quick, filling mexican food with no frills, here's your place. Cheap, too! We like the complementary duros, salsa and veggies bar. Burritos run under $4 and they make 'em quick. Bonus points for staying open til 10pm. Know what you're getting and you won't be disappointed. They also claim to use only vegetable oils and no lard. read more

Visiting Tucson area and looked up best breakfast burrito near me and Panchos showed up with a 4 1/2 stars. I'm giving it a 5 star because they were very friendly at the register, our order was done in about 7 min and the burritos were bomb! We ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and the bacon was crunchy (just how I like it), and the burritos were huge not to mention only $10 for both!! Making another visit before I leave! read more

Came in here with a few friends one day and it was a pretty good experience. The place is your average "hole in the wall" small mexican shop. They have everything on a menu on the wall above the cashier. The cashier was super friendly and answered any questions my friends had. I got the shredded beef tacos combo (rice and beans). I must say they were pretty tasty. My orher friends got a few things from tacos to burritos to French fries (yes French fries). They all said it was 4/5 stars. There are a few other places in town that are slightly better, but i wont hesitate to come back here again. If you are in the area, def give it a shot, I don't think you will regret it!!! read more

I never thought I would crave a fast food Mexican taco shop but Ponchos is a step ahead of the rest. The breakfast egg burritos are where it's at! It looks like a husband and wife operation that know what I want before I even order and great house made salsa. #sundaybreakfast read more

It's a great place and it would be 5 stars but lately I noticed that depending on who is cooking your burrito will have different things in it. Sometimes it has lots of rice or peppers or no rice and just loaded with lettuce despite ordering the same item. I feel as though it's a risk to try to get what I want and end up with something completely different. I've ordered the same burrito 3 times each time having different things in it. read more

Wholly cow, the best dang breakfast burrito ever. Had a bunch of clients in to visit our hospital, brought about 6 of their mega #24 and none of us finished it. Was a meat, egg, and cheese paradise. Thanks Yelp for helping find this place when at the hotel trying to avoid their overpriced room service!! read more

Poncho's Restaurant - #24 for sure - Mexican Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The food is so good! I got pulled beef tacos. The red salsa was super hot. The green wasn't as much. They got the food to me super fast. Very friendly. read more

I went in and ordered two breakfast burritos to go right after they opened at around 6am. These guys were very friendly, and I got my food in around 10 minutes. I ordered a sausage burrito and a bacon burrito. Both were pretty good, my wife and I split half of each one. I would say the sausage was much better than the bacon burrito, just because the bacon was a little chewy for my taste. Overall very good though, definitely will be going back. read more

I absolutely love this place! The food is great, the service is great, and the prices are great! The owners are a bus and and wife team, they are always so nice and genuine. Their young daughters are there occasionally on the weekends, doing homework or helping around the restaurant, it's a really nice family environment. read more

I only give 3 stars because of the minimal ability on their end to speak enough english to even understand the word lettuce and their lack of desire to accommodate my request for it even if they charged extra (on daughter's burrito...they obviously had it as there was an over abundance on my tacos...) the food although basic no frills mexican food...was really really good and you can't beat the price! Daughter loved her burrito and although I ordered two fish tacos and the one I ate was heavenly....they were so big I was too full for the second! Will definitely go back for the food...a good quick standby when hungry....hopefully service will improve...lol but doubtful. Update: have gone back twice since then and both times they got my order wrong...so as I thought, their limited ability to understand english is affecting their customer service and apparently I need to take a refresher course on my "spanglish". read more

Very great place love the dam breakfast burritos man it's really a great joint. hospitality is there! the food is perfect the environment is very chill nice pictures of Mexico on the walls there burritos are the best in town I gotta say hands down! Love there chorizo burrito with eggs and beans! Very good! Horchata tastes good not all that rice like others this place GETS 5 STARS VERY GREAT COOL PLACE TO EAT AT! read more

My favorite! I usually get the sausage breakfast burrito and it is by far the best I've had since living in Tucson. It's small and could use some updating but OMG the food is so good!! read more

What a find! I can't believe I hadn't been to this place until recently. This is not a fancy place AT ALL, so keep your expectations in line. This is a taqueria where you order at the counter and either take out, or eat at fast food style tables. There are so many choices on the menu! I feel like you could eat here forever and never have the same thing twice. And the food is so cheap! And big! But most importantly, it tastes great. I've had breakfast burritos, a fish burrito, an omelet, tacos, and enchiladas so far, and everything has been so delicious. Dining partner is enamored of a dish that is a huge pile of chicken, bacon, ham, peppers and onions, and cheese, which comes with a pile of yummy tortillas and is about $7-8. He gets 2-3 meals out of it. This is definitely my favorite new find in a while. They've been really friendly every time we've gone, and we (gringos) had no problem with any language barriers, as another reviewer here did. Tucked away in a strip mall, it's nothing to look at, but man you get some good food for not much money. read more

Poncho's has breakfast burrito specials for $2.99 Monday through Friday. I saw a previous review that stated $1.99. Not the friendliest staff in the world but the burrito was tasty enough and filling. I tried both the red and green salsas from the bar. Red was good not spicy enough for my liking but nice flavor and the roasted green salsa was also good and offered a bit more kick. I didn't try what looked like tomatillo salsa. Burrito was made to order and came out super fast. It's right by my house so I'll definitely be grabbing g something on the go again. read more

The food was good don't get me wrong, how hard can it be to make a burrito? But the hot sauce is wrong it's always watered down its garbage. I can't believe it!! Every time I go there the damn hot sauce is watered-down. I don't care about any of you other fools but if you think hot sauce need to be watered down think again. read more

I paid $11.00 for lunch. The cheap plastic silverware was cumbersome to use. There was a bone in my burrito. The booths are uncomfortable. For $11 my experience should of been better. Will probably go to some place else when I am in the area. read more
