    Chicken soft tacos

    Real deal Mexican food here... the owner tells you when you come in "if it's not on the menu, and I have the ingredients, I'll make it!" And- he's being completely honest. The food is fresh, homemade, and beyond reasonably priced for the portions. DO NOT WAIT to try it.

    Don't let the facility deter you, the food here is amazing! The place doesn't look like much, as a matter of fact we thought the place was closed. So glad we checked because my chicken enchilada plate was the best enchiladas I've ever had. This is a tiny place but prices are very reasonable and portions are huge. And the menu is just a suggestion... don't see something on the menu you'd like? Just ask and if they have the inbred they will make it for you. Oh and the staff, very friendly. It took a while for our food to come but that's only because everything is made to order.

    Great food & lots of it... Excellent service for singles,couples or families... Wonderful ambiance because the owner/chef-Luis makes you feel at home & aims to please... Nuff said?! Mmmm

    Ponderosa burger about a 3/4 # burger fries are the bomb!

    What a great little restaurant ! The burgers are cooked to order and literally will feed 3 people . Come with an appetite ! Doesn't look like much from outside , but you will be surprised !

    Don't let the outside deter you from coming in. It's definitely a hole in the wall, but this quaint place is filled with delicious food. The servings are large so if you decide to order an entree or two, it might be worth sharing. We ordered two entrees to split between three people and oh, my we were full within minutes and couldn't finish the food! We took half the food to go. The owners are so friendly and nice--we enjoyed our conversation with them. They are a hard working couple and thoroughly enjoy filling bellies and doing it with a smile. If I'm ever in Snyder again, I'd definitely come back here and would recommend this place to anyone visiting or in the area. It's a mom and pop shop and you won't be disappointed.

    This place is a little weird looking but trust it and the food is amazing the owner is so friendly and also the menu is a option if you want something not on the menu he will make it. Everything is fresh not pre made or frozen so it will take some time to get your food. But once you get the food is flavorful and them portion oh wow and worth the wait

    Club sandwich... amazing!!

    Had seen this place on an Instagram post from one of the folks that road trip around Texas. Anyway, so happy I bookmarked Ponderosa for when we unexpectedly might drive through Snyder. At first glance, you might think, oh my, let's find somewhere else. Please don't let the looks fool you. I promise it'll be worth the it!! Service was so personable, it was as if we had been there a dozen times. We had the club sandwich, and it was no little sammich! It was so delicious, and the next time we come up this way, you better know we are going to be coming back to Ponderosa!

    Very small restaurant but huge plates of food. Anyone that's passing through the area I suggest stopping here. I had menudo that's was one of the best I've had in awhile. My wife had the ranchero plate and my kids shared the grand slam platter.

    Grand Slam!

    Great food and portions. Very nice people. Went for dinner and breakfast the next day. Took a little time for the dinner but was worth it. This is the norm as it is made so fresh. Take your time and don't be in a hurry.

    Carne Asada!!! Absolutely Delicious!!!!!

    It was AMAZING!!!! Everything was Absolutely fresh! Everything was delicious, it is truly a hidden gem in Snyder, TX!!!! The owners were so friendly! The husband cooked the amazing food and the wife waited on our table. She was so friendly and help me with my pronunciation when I pointed at a drink and said I didn't know how to say it properly.

    See all
