El Ponce

I never even heard of El Ponce. I was invited to a tasting event hosted by Copita Club which featured Producer Mezcal. We had the opportunity to indulge in four distinct expressions of Mezcal, paired with three savory courses to enhance the tasting experience. This was a very informative guided tasting with producer Mezcal Maestro Juan Pacheo and Coo Carlos Sada visiting from Oaxaca, Mexico. My takeaway from this immersive educational journey was excellent. I really had the opportunity to learn the process and profile of Copita Mezcal. The food was so so nothing to brag about,but I did enjoy the Chocolate Tarte for dessert. I even tried crickets and worm salt for the first time. We were gifted Producer Mezcal and a mixer provided by Tiendita along with a copita. I would definitely return to El Ponce.

My review is based on several UberEats deliveries from this restaurant. I have been in person and it is better. BUT, if you order via UberEats, you will spend $12.00 on stale, disgusting chips. I enjoy the chips as much as the entrees at Mexican restaurants. Both must be good. I have paid for stale chips three times now. I kept hoping they would improve. They didn't. I'm convinced these $12.00 bags of chips are several days if not several weeks old. They are beyond stale. They are gross. It's like biting into garbage. Save yourself and never order chips from this restaurant. Roll down your window and throw your $12. out the window. You'll feel better.My Mole Chicken enchilada was delicious. It's too bad sending out old chips ruins the enjoyment of the meal. I will not be spending my $35. for one meal ever again at El Ponce. Zocalos is always good.

Had a great dinner here. We sat on the patio because it was great weather. They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating. They have happy hour from 4-6 and have $6 select cocktails and $3 small bites. We got the frozen marg (add $1 to the happy hour special) and the mini queso. For entrees, we got the grande burrito with chicken and chicken enchiladas with a side of refried beans. The burrito was massive! Everything was super yummy. They have a huge menu - lots of things that's I'd go back to try!

Decided on stop in for Taco Tuesday this past week. The restaurant is super popular with it being close to the Beltline and in a walkable area. So, it was nice to be able to visit during "off season".Unfortunately, I forgot our server's name but, he was excellent. I was bummed out when learning that the Lychee Cocktail was recently removed from the menu, he quickly suggested another drink, Como la Flor, which was DELICIOUS! For food, I ordered the Shrimp Bowl which was your basic bowl with toppings. I hi-key wish it was served as a skillet but, that's just personal opinion.The food didn't blow me out the water but, it was a good experience.

Such a find! Good food and great prices. Everything tasted so fresh and everyone enjoyed their meals. Salsa is great and there's a good selection for everyone. Great quesadillas and burritos. Nice choice for a simple takeout meal.

This was just so bad. I'm sorry, we really wanted to like it. 1 star just for a nice patio with a fun atmosphere but literally every single bit of food was bad. We had the chicken mole, chimichangas, and some enchiladas. Everything tasted like it came out of a jar and was just awful. We had multiple errors in our order and eventually just gave up. $100 for two adults and a child (admittedly we did get one margarita each.) I can't find a thing to compliment here...

el ponce has great, affordable mexican food and drinks. we love to go for the $6 happy hour marg (4-6pm) and delicious chips and salsa. the food is good and you get great portions for what you pay. they have an awesome patio and the inside is decorated with colorful lights. the servers are kind and attentive. always a great casual mexican spot!

Service was really quick and friendly. The restaurant decor is very cute and cultural. I ordered a steak grande burrito. It was pretty huge and is topped with queso. The queso was really yummy and the burrito in general was good but I felt like the steak pieces were cut very small and it was mostly rice. As an appetizer we got the elote corn bowl. It was okay and a little watery. Not a bad experience at all just not perfect. I recommend this place if you are in the area :)

One year later still a good place for some good flavorful Mexican food! The chopped pickled Jalapenos served with Queso just elevates the Queso experience to a different level.Good food and excellent service!

We have heard so much about El Ponce and decided to give it a try on Cinco de Mayo no less lol. Thankfully even then we did not have to wait long for 3 people which was awesome! We waited maybe 20 minutes and got a seat on patio quickly. Our waiter was nice and brought us some water to start. We got the queso with jalapeños and the salsa they have is delicious. I got a margarita as well to drink which was delicious. For the entree, I got the chicken fajitas and the portion was massive!!! It came with rice and beans on the side and it was steaming hot. The food was delicious and well priced. And for Cinco de Mayo, considering how busy it was the service was really good. Our waiter was attentive and nice and they had a great DJ outside on the patio. Would definitely come again!
