Great place to meet up with friends, bring out of towners or even take the edge off at the end of the day. Weekends (including Fridays) get busy so I would recommend reservations. Service is top notch and our Friday night here was met with explanations of menu items, drink recommendations and even food recommendations. Our waitress kept an eye on our table even when the happy hour and evening crew started filling the place. My ground beef enchiladas were really good but the leftovers really shined! The flavors set in nicely and reminded me of the wonderful time the previous night. I would certainly return! read more

Came in for happy hour. The patio is really nice to sit at when the weather is good but doesn't offer too much shade in the afternoon so just be aware. They have a nice happy hour and we sampled just about 1 of each thing on the HH menu. The highlight was the loaded fries and the Elote while the worst item was the beef tostada which was just super basic and boring and I wouldn't order it ever again. Drinks were good and I enjoyed their happy hour deals on house margaritas, beer and shot on a good deal. Service was nice but a little slow on the patio. Overall would come back and try their other items and go for those fries again. read more

Though I adored Logan Street, I am happy with this new iteration of Pancho Poncho! You really can't go wrong with mexican, in my opinion. Hubs and I dropped in for HH and an early dinner on Saturday (since PP continues the everyday HH tradition) and started off with the house margs and chips and salsa. The chips could be a tad salty with the seasoning added, but I still gobbled them up. The creamy green salsa is delicious! The margs are really tasty too and we had another round! We also tried the carne asada and pastor torta sliders (carne asada is better- but I don't know that I'd get either one again), the pastor tacos (very good!), the elote corn dip (delicious), and the nachos with carne asada. Their carne asada is quite tasty and the nachos had a fair amount of toppings for HH. I'd definitely return here for more HH and other treats. read more

Stopped in yesterday evening for happy hour drinks and dinner. Showed up at 5:30 in time to take advantage of the HH menu. We were seated right away. This spot is in the previous Logan Street restaurant location (and previous before that, Governors Park). The decor has been updated a bit to reflect more of a southwestern vibe. On a Thurs night for dinner service, it wasn't very busy. Our server took good care of us and recommended a few things on the menu. We had frozen margs, carne asada nachos and then for dinner the quesabirria and fish tacos. Our margs were yummy and I loved the carne asada on the nachos. Super tender and well seasoned. My fish tacos were good. My son enjoyed his quesabirria. The rice and beans were okay. Being plain, everything was good. No complaints about the food, but the issue is that I could have gotten everything we ordered at a number of other Mexican restaurants. I am sure it's a bit of sour grapes on my part, but the previous menu at Logan Street was unique and you couldn't find it anywhere else. The new menu is very similar to things you can get all over town. I'll come back to try more of the menu, but overall I'm disappointed. read more

Picture this: It's summer, the weather is perfect, you're NOT in Texas (so no humidity, and you have rights), and you're surrounded by tons of Mexican food and margaritas, just yapping away with friends. That's exactly what happened at Pancho Poncho last year and it was a blast! What I tried: Pancho Poncho Molcajete - Steak, chicken, bacon-wrapped shrimp, chorizo, nopales, Oaxaca cheese, green chili Elote Skillet - Grilled corn, crema, cotija cheese, cilantro, mayo, Cholula butter Queso Blanco Taco Plate - Pastor, Carne Asada, and Carnitas with refried beans, rice, and red & green taquera salsa Best bites: I love a good molcajete, and this one hit the spot! Add in fantastic margaritas, and I'm sold. PLUS that Cholula butter on the elote? Corntastic. If you're looking for a prime patio yap session, Pancho Poncho is the place! read more

I've only been for happy hour, but it's great! A great selection of food and drinks. We sat on the patio. It was perfect, but the inside is super cute as well! We cannot wait to go back and try their full menu! Service was slow, and they weren't that busy, but to be fair everyone has an off day so it wouldn't stop me from going back. read more

First timer. All was good. The receptionist was friendly, the waitress was attentive and helpful, and the food was good - - very good. It was nice to have the warm corn chips and to have red and green salsas placed on the table to start the evening. They have a tequila of the week. A nice surprise was that the tequila was a top shelf label and the silver margarita was only $10.00. Si Senor ( I can't get a tilde to show up to place over the "n" of Senor). The chilli rellenos we ordered were excellent. A co- owner of the business, Joe, came to the table to check up on us as we were finishing our meal. When that happens, which isn't often, you know you are in good hands. Thanks Joe, and, Yes, Joe, we will be back soon. read more

Excellent spot! While I loved Logan Street, Pancho Poncho packs a punch with flavorful food, friendly service, and a laid-back atmosphere. The prices are great for the portion you get and the menu is quite diverse! As someone on a gluten-free meal plan, this restaurant went above and beyond to accommodate my needs! The chips are naturally gluten-free and fried in a separate fryer than other gluten products. The enchilada entree (DELICIOUS) was prepared with a corn tortilla and was big enough to eat for dinner and then lunch the next day! The house marg was top-notch for $10. The icing on the cake, however, was our waitress. She was so enthusiastic and positive about our dining experience, very familiar with the menu, and gave us extra chips to go! It was her first day on the job and we couldn't even tell - it was truly some of the best service I've received in awhile! Wonderful staff. I will definitely be back! read more

We loved Logan Street Restaurant, we're avid regulars, but wow! They stepped it up a notch. Food: (1) Chips/salsas: come complimentary and have such great flavor! The creamy jalapeño is super spicy but beautifully complex (2) Queso: So good! Drool worthy. Must get (3) Ribeye a la parilla: incredibly deep, rich flavors with the steak seasoning and chimichurri. They give you tortillas to maybe make your own taco but don't! It just distracts from the incredible flavors of the ribeye. This dish was phenomenal (4) Coin, rocks marg: delicious, can taste the tequila a little -- exactly how I like it! But still balanced. Could be dangerous and I'm here for it Happy hour was a great deal as well offering every day of the week 3-6PM read more

Tried this place 6:30pm Saturday night. It wasn't crowded for that time and we were seated right away. Got chips and salsa to start. The green is super spicy , the red was just ok. I got the enchiladas with chicken and green sauce. The plate was a mess to eat, the enchiladas were falling apart and just overstuffed. Also didn't love the green sauce it had a bit more spice than I like. The rice and beans were just ok. My guest for the Branzino with green and red sauces on side and also was just ok. Not anything wrong with it but not amazing my any means. The standard margarita was tasty. Pricing wasn't terrible my enchilada were $16 and the margarita was only $9. Would I come back here? I don't know, wasn't blown away but maybe just off night? read more

Went in with very mid expectations after being disappointed by other trendy Mexican places (looking at you, Senor Bear) and were actually blown away. Service was excellent, and the food was lowkey incredible. We shared the small elote dip (elote is always a hit) + ribeye + marisco molcajete, and downed almost the entire basket of chips + salsa (husband even needed some of that green sauce to go and they delivered). We ended up also ordering churros to go (easily reheated in the microwave, who knew) and this was like, the first time I've ever *truly* raved about churros (I think because this time they were really dense, which I loved). We alsooo didn't realize that Sunday was all-day happy hour, so some cheap (and very strong) margs didn't hurt either. Will absolutely be back! read more

Fabulous dinner at Pancho Poncho and honestly, still surprised at how affordable it was! I thought it was going to be pretty small based on the building but the restaurant is pretty spacious and just kept going on and on. Service was great and our server (can't remember her name) checked up on us throughout the night but wasn't annoying. I loved the tortilla chips they served, they had a chili lime seasoning on it which was a little too salty for me (spoiler: Im a sodium hound) but I feel like that also kept me in check because them paired up with the red and green salsa could have been my entire meal! Three of us ate for $60 (no drinks) and all three of us had enough for leftovers, who doesn't love that in this economy?? read more

The best new Mexican spot in Denver! Everything was amazing. The service 10/10, the chips and salsa 10/10, the drinks 20/10, the entrees 10/10. The margs were so delicious and they make their own tajin! We also enjoyed some of the Pinot Grigio they have - highly recommend pairing it with the jalapeño crema. We loved our server. She recommended the fish tacos which were the favorite of the night! All of the proteins were marinated very well. Joe came out several times to check in and make sure everything was going well - he's the best! Their queso is the best queso I've ever had. I would go back just for the queso and chips. The elote and shrimp ceviche were also amazing. We were lucky to get the last table outside! The patio was full but plenty of space between tables so it didn't feel overcrowded. I can't wait to see this place thrive. Going back asap! read more

Wow is all I can say. Pancho Poncho is the perfect addition to the neighborhood. My roommate and I decided to stop in for dinner since we were craving Mexican cuisine and noticed this location had just opened. We are so glad we did even though there might have been some lower reviews prior. Our experience was great and we enjoyed everything from food/service/ambiance. Everyone has their own experiences but I believe everything that was presented to us as restauranteurs were excellent. We were immediately greeted upon entering and sat immediately in the beautiful patio space along Logan St. Our waitress Lilly/Lily (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was great, friendly and outgoing. We ordered several items - Amargo De Pomelo - Blanco Queso w/ Chorizo addition - Carne Asada Enchilada Plate w/ Red & Green Sauce - Camarones Momias - Horchata Brûlée Everything was DELICIOUS. I could have drank that queso it was so good. The carne asada in the enchiladas were great and the choice of double sauce was perfect to enjoy. The shrimp wrapped in bacon were cooked perfectly and topped with a savory seafood poblano cream that topped it off. You MUST get the Horchata brûlée, my roommate only had two bites because I couldn't stop eating it. This location is a beautiful brick building at the corner of Logan and 7th. Plenty of tables and space to enjoy your dinner with friends or family. We will be back to try more items soon! read more

Looked at other reviews & chose Pancho Poncho even it was a further drive some of the other choices. We made a great decision! Joe met us at the door and seated us. Ashley was slammed, but her & Joe took great care of us. Great ambiance! Will split a burrito & had drinks! All good! Try it! read more

The worst thing that could have happened. Logan Street was always busy and the food was delicious. Now let's swap it with another sub par Mexican joint - the LAST thing Denver or this neighborhood needed! Salsa - might as well be a jar of Picante. Chips are from a giant bag. Tacos - share them with the trash. Store bought flour tortillas. Uncle Ben's rice. Drinks - the bartender was the same and his drinks were delicious despite the restaurant. Atmosphere - let's hang some fedoras and cliche Mexican art from Temu on the walls and keep all the Italian decor from Logan Street. No server had tasted the food. They couldn't give recommendations. She literally said "it's my first day at the new restaurant. I don't know the menu yet." What I'm excited about: This place won't last long at this pace. The patio was empty. Inside was maybe 40% capacity. read more

Came here for dinner with a friend and was underwhelmed by the atmosphere, manager on duty and quality of the food. The food was highly greasy and it left 2 of us with bloating and stomach aches after. Initially we waited a bit before a waitstaff greeted us. The waitress who ended up helping us was attentive, although seemed to be expected to care for our table and manage the bar, which seemed a bit unreasonable. The male who addressed us initially and I'm guessing was the manager, was impatient, lacked awareness of how his behavior impacted others (at one point he used explicit language towards one of the cooks at the grill near our table) and was dismissive of the waitress who was helping us when feedback was provided of her positive service (did not seem like a cohesive team). We don't plan to return here due to the experience both with the atmosphere, male manager and food quality. read more

I saw my friend post the watermelon and burrata and HAD to give it a try. Not going to lie I was a little disappointed, but I think it would be a really good combo if it's seasoned correctly. The rest of the food was really good! We got to sit outside on the patio which sits on Logan street so lots of action. Our waitress was super friendly and made conversation with us. She said she had been there for a while and really enjoyed working for the company which is always nice to hear from the employees. read more

Seven of my friends and I met here for happy hour on a Tuesday afternoon. It was still early, so we had no problem getting a table. I was the first one there and the server immediately set the tables with water, chips & salsa, and took my drink order. I ordered the Reposado Espresso martini. It was incredible. My non tequila drinking friends even liked mine so much, they all ordered one. I ordered the Caesar salad (good but very salty) and my friends got nachos, fries, and tacos. We all enjoyed our food, but the service was spectacular. Will definitely come back. read more

I'll definitely miss some stuff about Logan Street Denver but the conversion to Panch Pocho is pretty great! You can definitely tell what a difference having the input and investment of the BOH staff makes. I think I read that they went over like 20 different family Green Chile recipes from the entire kitchen staff before they settled on one. It shows! The bar program is also super solid!!! Not like overwhelmingly cluttered with nonsense. But they have pretty much every tequila you'd want to see up there. Congrats to Mack and the staff and the whole Angelo's/Carboy Group! read more

Went when they were just opening, and went back the next day for the grand opening! Went for birthday dinner with a big group a week or two ago and they were super accommodating. Everyone loved their food, server was on top of everything. I haven't had bad food or drink here. Service is always good even when they're busy. And I love that it's attached to Carboy bc I'm a wine gal and most Mexican places don't have great wine. The taco plate comes with 3 tacos and you can mix and match the meats which is nice. Their salsas are actually spicy too and addicting. Deffff recommend read more

This restaurant had such a cute vibe, and our food was delicious! We went for Sunday brunch, and I got the carne asada skillet with a rumchata martini. The food was cooked perfectly, came out quickly, and was nice and hot. The service was also great. My only small complaint was that my meal was listed as $13 on the menu and it was $15 on the ticket, which wasn't a huge deal at all. They also brought out complimentary chips and salsa which were fantastic! I can't wait to come back for dinner. read more

I've been eagerly waiting for this restaurant to open all summer! My family and I finally made it over tonight. The big hits were the beautiful outdoor patio and awesome happy hour (daily from 3-6pm!). I got the house frozen margarita and it was STRONG in the best way--definitely worth the $6, especially for happy hour. We received complimentary chips and red/green salsa for the table. The al pastor tacos were tasty, though a bit on the smaller side (go ahead and order 3). The green salsa that came with the tacos was my favorite! While they didn't have a kids menu yet, the chef was kind enough to whip up a smaller bean and cheese burrito that my two kids shared. We also enjoyed the ceviche, queso, and nachos and would order them all again. The staff was attentive and pleasant. I can't wait to come back and try some molcajete on a crisp fall day! read more

We randomly stumbled on this restaurant and hadn't ever heard of it but figured we would give it a shot. The restaurant itself is very nice inside and out, the decor is well put together and very inviting. Staff were all very friendly and service was great. Food and drinks came out extremely fast. We ordered the happy hour carne asada fries to start, they were good and perfect size for sharing. I wasn't very hungry so I ordered a carne asada quesadilla which came with rice and bean, the quesadilla was a decent size and had plenty of cheese and meat. The carne asada was a little greasy which I wasn't a fan of but other than that it wasn't bad, they used real quesadilla cheese not the Mexican blend so that was a plus. My wife ordered the chicken fajitas and said they were good, the chicken was really tender but could have used a little more seasoning. They didn't have any selection for kids which was a bummer, our son has a dairy allergy so a lot of items had cheese so he was very limited. It is definitely not an authentic Mexican restaurant it's more of an Americanized version but it wasn't bad. I think it would definitely be a great place for happy hour or a nice warm day to have drinks on the patio. read more
