Ponche Taqueria: Reviews & Ratings
Great food, affordable and just 6 minutes walk from Times Square. Cozy little restaurant with just 6-7 tables. A great alternative to the 100 table restaurants a few blocks away! We really loved it and will be back!
The tacos here were amazing! Very fresh and flavorful. I’d put this in my top 5 best tacos list.
Highly recommend the tacos. Really delicious. Enjoyed it a lot. Atmosphere of the resturant is good. Not many seats but very cosy
Great Mexican food !!! Highly recommend the enchiladas! Staff was awesome and this spot is the best !
Great place, with good Mexican food options. Got chicken enchiladas with both red and green sauce. Quantity and taste both was great. The green sauce one was better for me. Got chicken burrito too, that was great too. A good stop overall, a bit higher than average pricing but good for the quantity.
When I arrived I did not know what to expect from this small restaurant. I have to say this restaurant packed a lot of flavor. The grilled chicken burrito had to be the best I had tasted. It made me write a review which I don’t normally bother. I left impressed.
Wanted to try out a taco place for lunch during a weekday Wanted to sit down somewhere with colleagues our usual go to place is lost tacos near Time Square - so we really stumbled upon this place and wanted to try it out We read reviews that the pescatarian tacos are really good So we ordered the Pollo tacos, Ponche tacos, which is the shredded pork and the Pescano tacos, which is fish We ordered a combo which comes with a little side of rice and beans making it a filling dish for lunch The tacos just blew our mind very very tasty. One of the enjoyable taco places we had in the city. The Ponche tacos were the best for me It's great for small groups and the service was excellent Not sure why it didn't come up earlier in our list, but we will be frequent customers over here A little bit on the pricey side for lunch but well worth the taste
Great food and service. The guac is some of the best we've had in a while. I had the Quesidilla Vegeteriana for a light lunch. It is very savory and well-seasoned. Everything was fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My family sampled different tacos. I tasted Carne Asada and El Ponce. The meats were very tender, seasoned exactly right, and prepared perfectly. I was picking the scraps off their plates when they were done. The homemade tortillas and chips were amazing. Next time I will get the tacos myself.
