This place is such a vibe. Food was cooked to perfection, awesome choice of beers (Mahou is always a winner), music on point and Doggo friendly. Not sure if children are banned but our visit was child free absolute heaven!! Would recommend to anyone who appreciates good food.
What a wonderful experience- welcomed as soon as we got through the door, chose where we would like to sit, Vicki our lovely waitress was so accommodating & friendly, seemed as if we'd known her for years. Nothing was too much trouble! Exceptional service. The food was delicious, I had the Chicken Fajitas, my Sister had the Ceaser Wrap with a shared side of Rosemary Fries- all was well cooked, plentiful & quality. Vicki invited us to come back on a Saturday to try out the cocktail, pitchers & to experience the live bands- we'll most certainly take her up on her offer! Highly recommend this establishment- I will be visiting again very soon!
Fabulous new mexican restaurant in Barnstaple. Had only been open 5 days when we booked, but I can thoroughly recommend. My Mum, Dad and I all ordered various quesadillas which were all delicious, the only downside was the fact they're more tapas style so the quesadillas came on a small plate with a small side salad rather than a dinner plate with a big side salad or refried beans or something
Faultless dining experience. We found this lovely tapas restaurant by chance searching right here on Google Maps. The reviews and pictures online certainly do represent the experience we had. My partner is dairy and gluten-free - often a challenge for eating out - but the team and chef were superb. They also have vegan tapas and gluten-free tapas and aren’t afraid to adapt to combine them both into a meal. The service, food, and atmosphere were superb. I would highly recommend booking in. We booked via Facebook and they replied and booked us in within minutes. From start to finish this was a wonderful experience. We’ll be back (they do takeaway pizza, too!)
Stopped for lunch. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Lovely atmosphere and very good food. We opted for the Carnitas burrito - very tasty and so filling. We will be back to try more of the menu
Delicious meal and drinks with great friends at Ponchos Mexican restaurant, thanks for having us
Absolutely loved it here. Mexican food, great variety, cocktails were lovely, recommend the spicy margarita. Food delicious, service great and friendly, comfortable surroundings.
Celebrated my 40th Birthday here with a bottomless brunch and the day couldn't have been better. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who looked after us. They catered for all our dietary requirements and went out of their way to make sure we were happy. The food was great (even for me who can't eat spice). The Mexican hat were a great touch and got us all in the spirit.
