Service was quick and polite once we were seated. They had chips and salsa ready as we sat down. Ordered an appetizer and meal choice. Wow the food portion were large. Taste was amazing! Also enjoyed the Pinacolada margarita. Cant wait to try this place again!

The waiter only came to the table twice once for us to order and once to bring us the food. We had to flag down other waiters to get refills and everything else we needed. Not once did the waiter check on us. We had to flag down other waiters just to get the check. Very little in the way of atmosphere or decorations inside. we wont be coming back. We will take our business to the other mexican restaurant in town.

The salsa was a good texture and the spice was mild, just like I enjoy. Monday is enchilada Monday. I got chicken & spinach enchiladas in a poblano cream sauce and it was delightful. The sauce was unique but that chicken! I think the chicken is grilled very nicely to bring out such a great flavor. The rice is good. I'd eat here again! Oh and bonus points for cute bathroom decor. I really got a kick out of the ladies room pics of cats. I wish I would have gotten a peek at the mens room which I'm sure had more pics of dogs. I love the sense of humor.

Today I had to run to Claremore over lunch, so I took advantage of the opportunity to try El…read moreBanquete. TLDR: Great food, nice interior, decent prices. I hit the door right at 11:45 and was promptly seated, swapping a menu, chips and salsa for a drink order and a small queso. The menu is reasonably large, but not overly so. Plenty of options to choose from for almost anyone. I'd already seen they had Chile Verde on the menu, so I zeroed in on that like a fat dog on a chicken leg. Almost immediately, the queso hit the table. The salsa was out of this world good. I seriously almost ordered a pint to go, it was so good. Not hot at all, but rich with tomato flavors and subtle heat and spices. The queso was thin, and stayed workable throughout the meal, which is a huge plus for me. Flavorwise, it was slightly rich, very Monetery Jack flavored with noticeable hints of jalapeno. Great queso. My entree hit the table quickly, while I was still face deep in queso and chips. Beatifully plated, I hoped the taste lived up to the appearance.... and it did. While it was all good, surprisingly the rice turned out to be the unexpected star. It takes effort to make a simple rice dish standout like this. Light and fluffy, the flavor was borderline intense, for rice. It had a hearty undertone that I couldn't place, but I loved it. A lot. Nothing but rice... no corn, no peas, no nonsense, no kidding. The Chile Verde was outstanding. Probably one of the top three I've had in the area. Not sure if they slow cooked the pork with the sauce like is proper, but if I can't tell, then I'm not gonna care. The meat was properly shredded, tender and moist, and full of both meaty and saucy flavor. The beans were also really well done. Well colored (not gray), and with some noticable flavoring in the chile powder spectrum, I dipped chips into them until they were gone. Overall, nothing about my experience was less than great. My server was amenable enough, but didn't really engage in any interaction. No issues there, just a difference in styles, that didn't detract at all. With the queso and an iced tea, the bill was just over $22, and for what I got, I came away quite satisfied.

I had a beef and chicken taco. Neither had a lot of seasoning, but they had good flavor. The…read morecustomer service was friendly and attentive even tho they had a lot of customers. The chips were thick, fresh and crunchy, they came without any salt so I added some. The salsa was very mild, so if you enjoy milder Mexican food, you'll like it. If you prefer more hotter ask for the hot salsa, you won't be disappointed. Their burgers looked good, and the steak fries looked amazing. If I go back I'll get those for sure with tacos. I think my favorite thing about this restaurant is the interior decor - it's like you're in a log cabin. With Collinsville being such a small town with limited restaurants, I could see this place be very popular. They even have corn dogs! Who doesn't love a good corn dog?

Firstly, customer service is amazing here. Ambiance was nice & felt like a touch of Mexico in…read moreCollinsville! Everyone was so nice! The star of the show here were the chips & the top shelf margaritas were also great but I wouldn't liked for them to use course salt around the rims rather than plain table salt. The things that could be improved upon at this establishment are the salsa, tortillas & blandness of some of their dishes. I do think if you venture out to The Jalepano Grill, definitely order from their grilled meat selections as that seems to be their specialty. Their menu also is very big, not all of which is done well.

The service was quick and this seems like a happy noisy place to eat. It was crowded and on a Monday night.

My favorite dish is the steak fries which are fries loaded with fajita steak, queso, bacon, and sour cream on a hot skillet. But every dish I have gotten here is good. Drink list is fun and their sangria swirls is delish. Dessert is also great as well, with really good churros.

Pros: my husband and his brother love this place. I think…read morethey go once a week. If my husband gets some kind of street taco plate. He liked the chips and salsa. Cons: The service here is absolutely atrocious. Incredibly and excessively rude. From the way they're frowning when they take orders to the way they throw food and utensils on the table. They don't have Limonada. It's not very clean. They play the music too loud here. My husband said that when he eats there at lunch, it's not like that. But we had gone for dinner. Nobody in the restaurant could even talk to each other because of how loud the music was. I grew up in Texas. I think the Mexican food is a lot better. I don't eat this place. I tend to prefer Texas based chain such as Chuy's, torchy, or uncle Julio's.

We celebrated an event and everything was perfect. Time came to pay the bill, I paid the bill and gave a 20% tip CASH on the subtotal. (Yes, I don't tip on Tax and the Convenience fee). I keep my receipts until I validate the final amount on my credit card. Lo and behold, there is an additional $10 on my credit card that I DID NOT Authorize! I would've let it go but if that person did it to me, he would do it to others as well. Please be careful and check your credit card after you visit this restaurant.

The atmosphere is casual yet comfortable, with plenty of booths and a noise level that makes conversation easy. I ordered the shrimp cocktail with extra avocado and crackers, while my partner had the steak burrito. Portions were nice, and special requests were met without hesitation. At roughly $35 for two, Señor Pancho proves that affordability and quality can go hand in hand. A welcome addition to my list of dependable local favorites.
