    El Poncho Menu

    My overall pick for Mexican cuisine Pikeville, KY. The Ambiance offers casual kid friendly but can also serve as a good place to have a celebratory dinner. The staff are friendly and very efficient. Everyone practice safety with wearing a mask and having sanitizer located when you walk in. If you do not want to get out of your car they have a drive thru located on the right side of the building. Ok ok the Food is perfectly seasoned and if your sitting in the restaurant it will be hot (temperature wise that is ). The chips and salsa comes out first and it is complimentary when dinning inside or with certain entrees. The salsa is just ok personally but hey it's complimentary. The margaritas taste good but if your looking for something a little stronger add a shot on the side. The entrees we ordered both came with refried beans, rice, and toppings. The beans and rice taste amazing. Seasoned to Perfection. We had the beef burrito with white cheese and it was delicious. Then we also ordered the Shrimp and Steak fajita. The serving comes with 2 tortillas however order 1 extra set because the serving is enough to make 4. The shrimp were big and juicy. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly for the tortilla. They also have specials. If you are in pikeville and have a taste for Mexican with good prices and a drink this will be the best place to go for where your at.

    Shrimp in special sauce.

    We stopped for lunch. Was super busy. Salsa and chips were usual and fast. I had shrimp in special sauce (tasted like canned enchilada sauce ) still pretty good. Was served on beans by my choice. Beans were good. Wife had a chicken burrito looked good and she liked it. Seemed to have way more wrap than filling but was good. Saw some old reviews and a few bad ones. I reviewed to see a current one. Was inexpensive so for the price I would recommend.

    Portion size is pitiful at best. Taste is ok. Speed is hard to beat. Price is way too high for what it is

    Every time I come here, the service is very slow and the food is not good. The waiters are nice though, so I rate it 2 stars.

    Food was good, but service was weird and not great. Only had 3 employees on schedule, one was a new…read moreemployee on their second day of work, second one was clearly unhappy with their choice of employment, and the third was everywhere back and forth. They didn't seem to get along at all, the second and third employee did not communicate well because of this. The second employee left us waiting way too long, focusing on adding water under the food counter after asking what we wanted and I said I wanted a bowl. We then waited 6 minutes after being asked what we wanted before the third employee came back to assist us. I had to repeat myself multiple times when stating what I wanted in my bowl, because they were trying to focus on too many things at once; filling my bowl, teaching the new employee, checking times on machines, and trying to fill my fiances order at the same time. It was chaos. No wonder they have a hiring sign up!! P.S. - New tequila lime chicken not meant for rice bowls or burritos, belongs with pasta.

    17.50 for a sub-par Taco Bell-looking burrito a regular drink and a handful of broken chips. No one…read morein the prep area wearing hair nets. Not even the wooly ZZ Top-looking guy One of the salsas tasted like it was ruined. The ice machine was broken. The sweet and unsweet tea was sitting on the counter uncovered and there were Flys in the dining area. I hope I don't die but being hungry and after paying that much I hated not to eat it.
