    Poncho and Lefty's version of a Fajita Salad...lots of food but not much of a Mexican flair.

    We were First Timers at this place having typically had Mexican at El Tequila. Our server was Kari who was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The food was another story and I'd call it "non-traditional" (see photo). Their version was HUGE but it lacked the flavors and mix of warm veggies/meat that makes up a Fajita Salad. Too bad as we were hopeful. For us, we'll likely not return and consider other options in the region. There must be better options.

    Well stop in with a bunch of us for a bday dinner Had a lot of different orders I had the fish tacos they were really good had a crunch to them the I really liked wife had a taco bowl look great Enchiladas and chimichanga that look great and they all liked Almost every one took a box to go home Was surprised by the low stars Had great decor Will be back Great job

    Queso!  Half order is good. Yummy margarita!

    This could be very successful if only opened and lightened up. It def needs updating. That aside I found the mild salsa too bland and even reminded me of spaghetti sauce. They have a "hot" salsa which I liked better. The queso was okay and bland. I had the barbacoa burrito. It was very meaty. I should have asked for beans and rice inside. The frozen strawberry margarita was very good. Grandson had kids cheese enchilada which he really liked. Burrito was too salty for me.

    Sizzling Carnitas Fajitas with the fixings.

    The food here is decent, but service can be iffy. That about sums up this review. We arrived for a late dinner, and while waiting to be seated we could not help but overhear the two customers paying their bills on the way out. They received an apology from the staff for the quality of the meal, and a reminder that they should have said something about it sooner. We almost walked out. But the pangs of hunger had hit us pretty bad, so we decided to try out the place. The complimentary chips and salsa were very good. The salsa was awesome and the texture and consistency was great. We settled on splitting an order of sizzling carnitas fajitas and a side of the black beans. The fajitas arrived rather quickly and the carnitas were delicious. Cooked to perfection with the right amount of flavor and spice. We were almost done with the meal when we realized we did not receive our beans... The waitress apologized for this error. Overall the food was good, but the service was lackluster. Would return and try again.

    Walked in and got seated within 15 seconds air was cool and fresh. Sat down and ordered a raspberry lemonade it was kinda sweet but you could get a lot of different choices. The chips and salsa was just your everyday starter. Ordered a beef and been burrito for $10.99, and my God I got a 2lb burrito with beans and rice. All the food was hot and fully cooked. Great service with everyday Mexican restaurant interior and pretty clean. Overall a very good restaurant would eat here again.

    Poncho Lefty's has a nice layout and a very friendly staff. Your meal starts with free chips and bland salsa but the water cups are large which is a plus. I wasn't aware ahead of time it was a tex-mex joint so I was not too excited by the menu but I found something decent, the taco burrito. It was pretty gross and I'm not sure it even constitutes Tex-Mex. The refried beans and rice that my 10$ burrito didn't come with (it was an extra dollar) were fucking gross and seemed at least a day old. I would never come here again and only because the food sucked. The establishment and staff were awesome though so if you like crappy pseudo Mexican come here.

    Fajitas were good, plenty of tortillas, come to the table sizzling. Chips were also yummy.

    Service is okay, food is not great. I don't necessarily recommend going here if you're looking for authentic Mexican food.

    The service was slow and the food was terrible. I think that we could have gotten better food at Taco Bell.

    Weird I ordered at the window and got my final order and…read morecharge at the billboard. They apparently asked me to stay at the ordering window until the lady gave me the okay to go to the window to pay . Never have been asked this before (live in Minneapolis) I waited 2 minutes then went to the window to pay.....the weird lady had the nerve to say "next time wait to come to the pay window until I give you permission" super rude I'd understand if she was pleasant Ok I was confused normally when you order you move to window to pay without having to get permission Awful customer service If you don't want a good drive thru experience skip this place. She was 20.ish red/brunette hair Friday July 18 around 230 please let her know her attitude is ugly

    The location in brainerd MN absolutely sucks. I paid extra for chips and cheese and a Doritos locos…read moretaco and didn't receive either of those items . I am highly allergic to tomatoes and I asked for no tomatoes and got it on all of my food items . I didn't receive any of my modifications such as adding onions to my items and removing the tomatoes as said before . All of my food items were cold and hard as a rock that it was not even edible . I ended up having to throw away my entire order and will never be coming back . I will drive out of town just for Taco Bell after this experience . The staff also needs to be talked to about poor service . You could hear them playing around in the background over the speaker and I waited 10 min to receive my food . Not to mention the store manager what also working at the time .
