“It's been 11 years since my last review. I've been coming to Senor Ponchos when this restaurant was located in Monroe CT. I still enjoy visiting. This past Labor Day weekend was more of the fun and family friendly vibe they're known for. The menu is updated slowly since my last review. Tacos and Tuesday is a large focus of their fare. I had my usual shrimp chimichanga dish and it was pleasing. Cloth napkins are back and the welcoming dish of nachos and salsa is a constant. Walking through the bar to the patio may not be ideal, but that's the way the building is configured. The last few times I've been there, we've been seated in the main restaurant. It's alive but noisy because its a family destination. The drink menu has expanded into its own menu along with the prices $$. Running restaurants in this challenging inflationary business environment must have its challenges in 2025. So it was good to see they're still thriving while maintaining a predictable pricing strategy.
It's a nice they choose to use 40% recycle to-go containers that are secure and easily microwavable. The one problem is there is no recycle stamp anywhere on the lid. I had to look up what was printed on the container to figure out it's composition. I hope a lot of those don't get thrown in the garbage instead of the recycling bin. Keep coming.“

The staff are incredibly nice and work hard to make sure you have a great time. Food is delicious and authentic for the price. Great place for parties and large groups as well, for any occasion!

“It’s like chipotle but WAY better. Better ingredients, better quality, better portions. Soda in the fountain is all real and organic made with cane sugar. Bottled soda is authentic glass Mexican soda. We love it here. And right next door is a great health food smoothie place that makes delicious Açai bowls!“

“food is delicious awesome atmosphere“

“What a delightful, local jewel El Camion is! Everything they do on their limited menu is delicious and fresh.“

“We had been hearing great things about Bocagua Chimi’s truck in Danbury, and since we hadn’t really had Colombian food before, we decided to give it a try! We were really impressed with the special crab empanada they had on the day we went, and their signature chimi was delicious. We had sweet plantains with beef and sauces on it that was just seriously good comfort food. The owner was super friendly, and I appreciated that they had seating available. It started raining while we were eating, and we were so grateful that they had a tent set up!“

“Delicious as usual and carnitas tasted very fresh as well as chips which werent overly salted. I asked for a bowl and when he put in one scoop just asked for extra carnitas which he gladly did without charging me for extra. When i got to the cashier it got chaotic because he was handling a lot of ppl at once and couldnt manage us and didnt complete my order until the other ppl completed theres so i had to wait. Didnt give me a receipt as well and also he said he coudlt give any change whcih was a lie because he did and when someone asked him to change a $50 bill he got quite angry and reluctantly did it. He didnt want to give change because he was lazy and he needs much more effeciency and patience. Moreover as usual chipotle was short on a lot of stuff. Not the best service but do recommend this location overall because it is convenient“

“It's the teen kids' favorite, and since everything can be made with black beans It's the most convenient since none of them eat meat...for fast food, not that bad.

Vegetarian options: Choose black beans instead of meat“

“This is the 2nd time we came . Was not disappointed. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“
