The food was not hot and piping as I wished it could be. The food also tasted pretty awful. The service , however was wonderful.

Food, menu choices, and service is excellent.
We like this restaurant very much.
We go there often from neighboring Newtown.

Last time we were there though we had to eat and leave as quickly as possible. The band was SO LOUD that we could not say a single word to one another. I wished they had started playing before we ordered because we would have realized and just gotten up and left. I asked them to turn it down so people could speak. Nope! Couldn’t even hear the server asking us a question without yelling huh? What did you say? But we had ordered already so we just ate as quickly as possible, got the check and bolted. I will always call ahead now and make sure there is no live music.

Not only is this the best Mexican restaurant in Connecticut by far, today we also had a burger there. I got my favorite Mexican food, some salsa to go (out of this world delicious by the way) and my mom got the burger which I tasted. I have to say the burger was one of the very best I have ever had anywhere. Great food, great people and great service.

Food was excellent and prompt. Steak tacos were juicy and delicious! I could even tell that the steak was cooked medium rare after being sliced for the tacos. The staff was personable, attentive, and fast, working together collaborativly. There is no way to run out of chips and salsa with this crew. Definitely will be back, even though I'm not from the area

Excellent services and delicious food !!

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.

We had an enjoyable lunch - Enchiladas Banderas(three different types of enchiladas) served with refried beans and rice and the Tootsie Roll(shaved steak in a spinach tortilla) served with plentiful portion of beans and rice. The restaurant is spacious and clean with friendly and attentive wait staff. They also appeared to have a bar with many creative beverages. We’d highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Southbury area!
