I'll be honest, when I first heard the description "a 24 hour Mexican drive thru", I thought this place was little more than a glorified Taco Bell. Or perhaps another disappointment like Don Chilitos, which is just a trashy Chipotle knock off, in my opinion. However, I was very pleased with my service and the aroma that filled my car as I drove home was heavenly. I will admit that I had to repeat myself 2-3 times while asking what came on one of the burritos, but I could tell that English was only this man's 2nd language based on his heavy Latino accent, and I don't think it's fair to judge a place based on something like that, especially at a MEXICAN place. So that didn't affect my opinion of the place at all, and it's not fair for anyone to judge a place based on something like that. I just thought I'd mention it so that others don't get frustrated over it, because it's not something to rate a place poorly over. I will say I was not very impressed with the drive thru menu itself. It could definitely use a make over, as it was somewhat complicated and didn't include what soft drink selections there were, and had prices taped over prices to where you couldn't completely tell which one was the true price. The food is really good though and have some very large protions, so trashy menu aside, I highly recommend it. I give it 5 stars because cosmetics aren't nearly as important as the quality/quantity of food and service. I would love to see them replace their drive thru menu eventually though. It's definitely worth the money, and I think even if you have a bad experience once, you should definitely try it again, and hopefully have a better experience, because it really is delicious. Edit: I just want to add that I am a VERY picky eater, especially when it comes to Mexican food. I have never really liked tortillas much at all, in fact, when ever I get to a point where there's just tortilla and a small amount of cheese left in a burrito or a quesadilla, I REFUSE to eat it because it's gross to me... That's how I went about eating my steak quesadilla that I got tonight, but I decided to live on the wild side and try the plain tortilla edge (which there's not much of anyway) and the tortilla IS SO F*ING GOOD that I could not contain my delight and felt the need to update my review!!! Oh my gosh, I would come here just to buy their tortillas, I swear! So good! And I aldo forgot to mention that for about the same price as a Chipotle quesadilla, you're getting not a quesadilla, but a mountain of gooey, meaty, cheesy deliciousness. It is maybe twice the size of a Chipotle quesadilla, and while my burrito is thinner than a normal Chipotle burrito, it's longer so I think they are roughly the same size volume-wise. My boyfriend and I pay $22 at Chipotle for 2 extra steak burritos, and tonight we only paid $32 for 2 burritos, 2 quesadillas, and 1 chips and dip (queso). Even if we got the exact same order at Chipotle, it'd still be less food that Poncho's and basically the same quality and price in my opinion. The steak might be a little bit lower quality than Chipotle, but as someone who basically lives off of steak, it's still really good. Now, let all of that sink in, and get your butt iver to Poncho's. It's definitely worth it.

Seems to be a lot of mixed reviews on this place, but was really craving some Mexican food. We stopped in late night and I ordered the adasa torta and California burrito. Very glad we gave it a try! For 7 bucks the torta was huge! Steak very well prepared and the California burrito was epic. Can never be sure what you're going to get at a 24 hour spot, but I was very happy with the food and price.

I love panchos for so many reasons. When I stopped drinking I learned it’s not only the perfect late-night drunken snack but actually a good quick breakfast spot and fast fresh indulgent meal. They’ve added some new great things to the menu like the Flamin Hot Cheetos fries. Panchos holds a special place inside my heart.

I think the refried beans are so good, I always get an extra side. They are super fast, and WHAT WAS THAT? Open 24 hours? Why yes, they are open 24 hours. My go to place, Panchos never disappoints. It is never crowded and some day I'll try something other than my trusty #13.

Food was good. Fajitas were a Little on the saltier side. The cheese on top of the Enchiladas were still cold and not melted as requested. Probably forgot. It's fine I guess. Rice was soggy when we ate them but Overall staff was quick and friendly. Thank you
