    From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a warm ambiance along with a mouth watering aroma of authentic Mexican cuisine. Quickly seated by the hostess and rapid service along with quality and portion of the meal and drinks. I highly recommend this establishment. For family, friends full meal or just drinks Food outstanding Drinks of all kinds And such a great experience

    Chicken lunch nachos

    If you're down on South Main St in High Point and are looking for Mexican food, this is a safe bet. It's nothing over the top, but on par with all the other local Mexican spots. They have an extensive lunch menu, reasonable prices with good portions. Service is good, and food fills the craving. Today I got Pollo Supremo, basically ACP with onions, peppers zucchini and mushrooms added. It was good, and more than I could eat. I'm sure I'll be back!

    Tacos de Alambre, rice and beans
    Elizabeth F.

    I went looking for a New Mexican restaurant only to realize, once I got there, that I'd been here before. However, no complaints because the last time, I'd had the Pancho's Tacos and they were so good. So I decided to order the tacos de alambre. Great choice. 3 steak tacos on corn tortillas (my choice) topped with fresh guacamole, rice and beans. This was more than enough for 1 meal. The tacos were so delicious. They actually come with not 1 but 2 corn tortillas so that makes a more secure fold as these are really stuffed. So good!! My only complaint was the service. I was seated quickly and drink order taken. I got an unsweetened tea with little or no ice. Fortunately the table across from me was loaded with kids and parents being constantly waited on so I was able to get a server to bring me some ice. Fortunately they also brought it with more tea as I never would have gotten a refill. I never saw my server the rest of the meal. In fact, I had to flag another server down to get a to-go box. I then pushed my plates to the edge so they'd see I was finished but no one brought a ticket. Finally I went up to the counter to pay without a ticket. Maybe it was because I was a single diner but this happens far too often.

    Pollo fundido
    Nicole G.

    We visited Pancho Villa's for the first time for dinner tonight. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous, especially on the kids menu. We had the pollo fundido and the fajitas - the chicken on both was tender and right off the grill. The food came quickly and there was plenty of seating for groups of all sizes. Everything seemed clean and fresh - I would definitely come back here again!

    Bean dip, beer, and chips. Match made in heaven.

    Great Mexican place with great atmosphere. Service was prompt even with two very large parties right next to me. The meat was cooked properly and tender. Overall a good place and will be returning.

    Spice is real!!!! Just driving in the middle of nowhere and stumbled upon this restaurant. It was very clean-but cold. Service was good. My friend ordered the spiciest Mexican shrimp meal I had ever tasted. Muy bueno! Turned out great because we both had sinus issues and the shrimp made a huge difference. It came with rice and beans. Salsa great as well. I ordered the Fajita nachos with chicken. Lots of yummy cheese! No complaints except we found the chicken very dry. I would definitely recommend checking out this Restaurant.

    Elote bites
    Zac G.

    Pancho Villas is one of many Mexican restaurants to call High Point home, but its size and menu offerings help it stand out from the pack. The fact that it was moderately crowded a little past two on a Sunday afternoon speaks to its value and general competence as much as it does to its popularity. "Big" seems to define Pancho Villas in several regards. There is plenty of parking, plenty of seating, and plenty to choose from on the menu. These offerings include the usual suspects (tacos, burritos, fajitas, etc.) as well as a few dishes I've yet to see elsewhere. Elote (street corn) is offered here in breaded bite form, and the menu also boasts of red snapper with diablo sauce and fried Cornish hen. From light to heavy, mild to spicy, and vegetarian to omnivorous, there seems to be something for everyone here. The "somethings" I had occasion to try for my first visit were the aforementioned elote bites and a monster chile verde wet burrito. The former were amazing: crunch on the outside and cheesy on the inside with just a hint of sweetness. The burrito was appreciably substantial and appropriately slathered (in lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and guac). The pork inside was cut in smaller pieces than typical for this dish, but it was no less flavorful. Nothing on the plate struck a false note. For the amount of food, Pancho Villas' pricing is more than fair. My burrito (which easily yielded leftovers) came in at $9 while the elote bites (app-sized for two) were $7. As mentioned, it was fairly busy during the visit (and therefore a but loud), but service was up to the task. Pancho Villas is not the best Mexican restaurant I've encountered nor is it the most convenient, but it is a tasty, wallet-friendly option worth going out of the way for should specific cravings (a.k.a. elote bites) hit.

    I picked up and was disappointed. I had to season my food at home and my beans had run into and onto EVERYTHING! Maybe a dine in experience would be different. I won't be returning but that's my two cents.

    Service is slow! Clean that up so unorganized and food is okay and there guacamole is always taste bad that comes with the salad!

    The service is super slow! The food is okay I've had better Mexican food and that up there looks so unorganized! Clean it up!!! And put the music down!

    I do love a good burrito, so when I was in the area I decided to try the California Burrito here…read more It is big, but it is also costly at almost $14. This is an interesting dish, one that originated in San Diego in the 1980's, and soon spread across the country. It is quite different from the burrito that originated in Northern Mexico, especially around the city of Chihuahua before 1900. The dish started with the carne asada burrito and added cheese, guacamole, sour cream, pico, and even seasoned French fries. I found this burrito interesting but it is not one I'd order again, entirely too busy for me, and the texture is all over the place. I did like the restaurant overall, and will return at some point to try some of their other offerings.

    Oh. Good. Heavens. If you haven't tried California Burritos yet, you are sorely missing out!! It's…read morea cute little restaurant- not too fancy, just casual, and the service is attentive and kind. I asked for menu suggestions and went with the California Burrito itself. I honestly went in expecting it to be kind of like Chipotle or Moe's, but this place is unique and has a flavor all its own. I got the signature California Burrito, and it was FANTASTIC and so big I couldn't even finish it. Chicken or steak, guacamole, pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, and the big kahuna: their seasoned fries. Ohhhh my gosh. The flavor in every bite of this burrito- I didn't even need the queso or sauces. Aside from the burrito though, the chips and queso were great too! I will absolutely be back, and I'll see you there!

With what I learned, I just can't see myself going back and anybody who has Alpha-Gal syndrome, you may want to really think twice about what you ordered here. I ordered a vegetarian combo meal and got the food, I ate it and about a half hour later I was on the toilet, and it was not a fun night. I called the restaurant the next day because I've had this happen to me before, although with this place, I ordered through GrubHub so I wasn't able to ask questions, but you assume when something is listed as vegetarian that it actually is. Anyway, the refried beans are sometimes fried and vegetable oil, sometimes fried and lard. The day that I ordered mine, well all week they had been fried and lard which makes them not vegetarian. When you stop consuming those types of animal byproducts your stomach doesn't know how to digest them so I had this food and my body immediately was like what's going on and sure enough trying to reject it. Somebody who has Alpha Gal syndrome like I mentioned earlier can get super sick from this, like it could have serious detrimental effect on them.
