Mexican Restaurants near Southbury

“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.“

“Does the management at the Southbury location even care? Like at all? I've tried to give this location multiple chances, but this has to be one of the dirtiest and ill kept establishments that I has been to. It's almost unbelievable. I mean all the tables and floors in the seating area are filthy, even when they aren't busy. Behind the counter where is food is prepared is even worse. food and trash all over the counters and floor. On each visit I see zero effort from any employee to make any attempt at cleaning. instead they are all chatting away in the kitchen area. It is beyond ridiculous. I've worked in kitchens before, if the area visible to customers is that bad, then you better believe the area you can't see is worse. To top it off, on our $15 bowl, there was maybe a spoonful of chicken, 60% rice, and almost zero veggies. paid an extra 2.90 for guacamole, and got zero guacamole. Complete waste of money when compared to literally any other Chipolte that I have ever been to. DEAR MANAGEMENT.......DO BETTER, or admit defeat and move on..“

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! Highly recommend if you're in the mood for some good food

Parking: Go slow in the parking lot as it's usually busy around dinner time. The lines are hard to see so take your time finding a spot“
