The food at Ponchos is second to none. Everything is made fresh and it never leaves me unsatisfied or with undesired side effects later on. Its by far my favorite establishment to eat

The food was excellent. The staff was nice. The place is small and parking may be an issue on busy days. But definitely worth it.

A group of 6 friends pick a different place every Taco Tuesday and today we descended on Ponchos Tacos.Surprisingly they didnt have any specials like many of other places do in town.Another note, dont get your tastebuds set to have a margherita. They have no alcohol license sadly!3 of our friends had the 3 tacos for $10. It comes with rice and beans and is quite a meal. Another got a single Taco with rice & beans, which were extra. Another in the group had the Carne Asada burrito (which was HUGE) and I had the 3 Empanadas for $10 (2 ground beef & 1 chicken) which only came with lettuce, pico de gallo. No beans or rice, unlike the taco 3 for $10. Everyone throughly enjoyed their food....EXCEPT me! 🤷🏻‍♂️The Empanadas were very good except they had been fried until the shells were burnt, especially 1 of them that was black.Still, it wasnt bad enough that I wouldnt give them another chance...if they get their liquor license.

Delicious food! And huge portions. The waiter was very friendly. Our party tried a variety: quesadillas, burritos (the carne asada was amazing!), tacos and guacamole. Everyone really enjoyed their food! Highly recommend.

My wife and I live a block away and have been eager to try this establishment. We each got a taco salad (1 Beef & 1 steak) and they were excellent. The price, portions and service was great!!! Hopefully they can ad margaritas & Coronas soon... Keep up the good work guys.

Review №14

Food was absolutely awesome, portions were definitely well worth the money!. Salsa tasted homemade as well as the chips. I got there fajita steak burrito with all the fixins, and let me tell you this picture does it no justice! Other than the small piece I cut off it was about the size of my arm. Me and my boyfriend live right across the street, so trust me we will be back!.

Review №15

Great food and great hospitality. Burritos are like the ones from the 24hr places in WA,CA & CO that I like. I come here several times per month. Way better than the few other Mexican places in the area, better than anything over the bridge for sure.

This is the real deal Holyfield... We got the fajita burrito, fajita quesadilla, Pollo asada tacos.

Review №17

I will say, this place is by far really really good! Almost want to say better than La Fiesta 🤫🤐Just had 1 dish (American style, Birria taco) with some queso dip, which was probably the best queso dip I have had in a while 🤤 Make sure you get the dip with the Birria taco. Its like the juices the meat is sitting in..I would recommend this place for a good Mexican street style dish...My only complaint was the shredded beef was not very shredded... Maybe I just a chunk of beef they missed, but that wont stop me from coming back... Just will make me ride home with beef stuck in my teeth from having to bite down to rip it.*You will get messy eating this dish*

There is another called Ponchos Tacos and its the same place but has more reviews. i decided to post a review to both pages. I had the Mangonada and it was amazing!! Great serving size and great taste within a reasonable price. The staff seemed super welcoming and the place was decorated beautifully with the hand-carved chairs.

Seriously so delicious! And shout-out to the crew working on 9/9/21 - everyone was so friendly, bringing us water/silverware/boxes for our food before we even had to ask. And one order has enough food for 2-3 meals!

Review №21

My new Mexican son-in-law picked the restaurant and I was concerned a place so small on Seabreeze could not be good, but honestly it was absolutely the best Mexican food Ive ever had. I cant wait to get more. Ill be going out of my way to eat there very often.

Review №22

Amazing Mexican food!!! The best in Daytona Beach for sure and we live here and tried them all. Do yourself a favor and get here now! Best cheese dip and salsa, best food and best drink. They homemade different Aqua Fresca flavors and they are to die for. 10 stars out of 5..

My mom and I went here to pick up dinner tonight! The owner came out to great us and asked us how we were doing, which was super sweet of him! He’s super personable too, him and his wife carved and painted every chair in the place! They have fruity waters, I got the strawberry one but my mom liked the piña colada flavor!You won’t regret getting a taco (or three) from this place!

I decided to try this place out because of someone’s review of the Mangonada. The treat did not disappoint! My family also enjoyed their chicken empanadas and the key lime ice cream. If and when I return to Daytona I would like to try all the items on the menu. Everything is made fresh to order. We watched as they fried up the chips. Delicious!By the way there is 2 hour street parking and a side parking lot available. It’s a quick car ride from the beach.

Friendly service and welcoming atmosphere. Tried the street tacos, they were fantastic! Chatted with other customers while I waited and they gave rave reviews for the street corn. Definitely going back soon to try some for myself!

Poncho’s has the best Mexican street tacos I’ve ever had, most delicious Horchata and ice cream, & Poncho is a great guy. Always going above & beyond to care for customers. Came back 3 days in a row, 45 minute drive. 11/10!

This is probably the most authentic Mexican food you can get in Daytona. Soooo good and they have friendly service. Carne asada fries are delicious!

Re
Review №34

Street corn and burritos were very good. Mexican tacos were subpar. Ordered to-go food and didn’t receive napkins or silverware. Cans of Dr Pepper were $2 each, which I think is a bit ridiculous. All in all, I wouldn’t return because there are too many delicious authentic Mexican places in the area that are cheaper, with better service and quality.

Review №35

I’ve had a lot of tacos and in my opinion Ponchos Tacos has the absolute most best pork Carnitas tacos that I have ever had in my entire life. The portions are huge and the owner and service is amazing, he is very attentive and polite. It is obvious that they take pride in putting out phenomenal products. I also have a severe wheat allergy so I don’t go to restaurants ever because I’m afraid of cross-contamination to which they go out of their way to guarantee that that doesn’t happen. If you love tacos then this is the place to go. The Best In Town.

Good casual taco shop. Torta Al Pastor was good, but no slice of cheese on it, bread and meat were very good. Chips were good but salsa a little sweeter than I like.

Review №42

Odd that I should say that after 50 years of traveling and eating at every taco joint I ever encountered, these are the best tacos I have ever eaten. I had tinga de pollo, asada, and birria. Every one was amazing. The proteins were all bursting with flavor. I mean, delicious in every respect! I could eat that birria taco with their house hot sauce every day for lunch.

Review №46

So far Ive had the Cochinita Pibil flour tacos, and a Burrito al Pastor both were delicious! The amount for food for the price is a great deal. I posted a pic of the burrito it is huge. Reminds me of Bennys Burritos in NYC (for those of you that are NYers). Oh and lets not forget the Mangonada... yum; although thats an aquired taste of a spicy mango/strawberry mix. But if you really like spicy try the mango/chile paleta (popsickle) that will wake your tastebuds. The paletas are all natural and all are delicious.. the Nuez (nut) paleta tastes like the old school MaryJane candy. Try the food and experiemnt with the paletas many are unique flavors of Mexico! This spot gets a big Olé!

The best Mexican food in the stse of florida. Hands down frsh food everyday. My wife is from California and weve tried so many places and yet they all failed. BUT NOW we have found the closest food to California for her. The flavors are awesome and the horchata was the best since Cali. Thanks for great food and service

Im from az and cant find anything even close to what Im used to. Mexican out here is hard to find and its expensive! It was 30$ just for two asada burritos and two large horchatas! Im from az so this is ridiculous expensive. It was sad 4/10. I wont be back due to the prices/ lack of options. Not worth the drive from Ormond beach for me... I MISS MY FOOD TRUCKS lmaoo 🤣

We love Ponchos! The food is amazing, but the real winner is the drink options! You have to try the aqua frescas... all of them! We sometimes go in just to buy a few drinks. Im so glad its doing well. The man at the register (assuming the owner) is always so friendly and welcoming.

Review №66

Tonight was our 1st try and most assuredly far from our last. The burritos appeared to be put into a press to give the flour tortilla a bit of a crisp to it. The meat marinade could be tasted. The homemade ice cream is thick and divine. We fed 3 people including drinks and dessert for just under $60. Well definitely be back.

Review №74

Gross. Dont waste your time or money. The rice was mushy. Beans were ok, for refried/reheated No-salt beans. Tacos had a slight hint of beef flavor, and strings of beef? mixed with ground beef. Taco shells (homemade?) were tough. Definitely not a place I would recommend. Two stars because the guy who impatiently took my order brought the food to me.

Got a recommendation from Bryan at O’Connel’s Pub down the street to come here for the best tacos in Daytona, and he did not fail me. My fiancé and I both got the birria tacos, split the queso, and got an order of taquitos. After finishing the queso and tacos, we couldn’t even get to the taquitos and had to take them home. The food was PHENOMENAL, and the taquitos were awesome, even as lunch the next day. 10/10 recommend this to anyone looking for great tacos at a great price.

Went on their grand opening and have been almost every week since! Best place and best staff (-: best elote, horchatas, mangonadas, and tacos in town!Only thing I wish was better was their phone orders. I’ll usually have to call about 4 times, before they pick up.

Hands down the greatest birria tacos I have ever had in my entire life and no, I wasn’t asked to write this review or even mentioned by anyone to. I am so confident and amazed by how insanely great these tacos are.The foodnetwork guy needs to put these guys on his show, because whatever they are doing, they are doing SUCCESSFULLY. If you want to legitimately smile as you eat then make your way to this place!!! This is Gods Food I PROMISE. This meal deserves to be delivered on a golden platter. 10/10 Recommend. If you don’t believe me, atleast believe that I took time out of my day to write this descriptive review which goes to show something !
