" I cannot praise El Ponce enough! The food is simply excellent. I ordered the chili relleno—it was rich, perfectly cooked, and came with a side of homemade tortilla soup that was to die for! The patio seating is an added bonus, especially when they have live music. Strongly recommended for anyone who loves genuine Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at El Ponce did not meet my high expectations. The service was clumsy and slow, which was unexpected given the hype. I ordered the enchiladas, and they were sadly bland, lacking the zest I typically associate with authentic Mexican food. The ambiance was nice, and I did enjoy the house-made chips, but I left feeling underwhelmed. I might give it another chance, perhaps on a quieter day. " (*Curated Review*)

" So glad we found El Ponce during our visit! It boasts beautiful outdoor seating and a diverse menu. I enjoyed the shrimp tacos, which were perfectly grilled and had a citrusy kick. The drinks were just as delightful. It’s a great place for families or friends to gather after a long day. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for dinner, and I must say I left utterly satisfied! The food is full of flavor, and the service made me feel right at home. We loved the festive decorations everywhere. The margaritas were amazing as well! Will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Ponce is simply fantastic! The vibrant colors and lively music set the perfect tone for a wonderful night out. My meal was fantastic; I ordered the shrimp fajitas which were freshly made. Can't recommend their signature margaritas enough! Ideal for a night out with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely evening at El Ponce! The ambiance feels warm and inviting, with whimsical decorations. We shared a couple of dishes, but the standout was definitely the fish taco with fresh salsa. Service staff was attentive without hovering. Ideal for both casual meals and special occasions. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my visit, but there were some hiccups. My server seemed overwhelmed, which resulted in a long wait for drinks. The enchiladas I ordered were good, but not mind-blowing. A lovely local spot, but I'd recommend going during less busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)
