affordable, from about $4.50 for small and upwards of $10+ for the XL if you want more than the meat and cheese, lettuce and tomato topper.

Doesn't look like much when you pull up. It actually looks like it was once a Jolly Pirate donut place long, long ago. But currently it is the greatest culinary experience your mouth will ever savor. Just ignore what your eyes are telling you, because that is not what would be the greatest visual experience. It is just an average tiny dining area that has a larger patio space. So, yes! ...There IS outdoor seating available. Back to the culinary delight. It has been years since I had a sopapilla (pronounced: Soap-a-pee-yah) or try to sound cool AF and say "Sopa" which doesn't translate to any Sopa at a normal Mexican restaurant which is completely not the same thing. Trust, Fam. For those who haven't heard of one, picture a dough, not too unlike an elephant ear - with a pocket, that is slightly sweet but it envelopes your choice of ground beef, cheese, beans and rice, chicken, seafood, or even the Sopapizza. The latter being like a pizza calzone but way better flavored dough. This is not a stingy place on serving size. You have a choice between: Small, Regular, Large, and Extra Large. If you aren't bringing your A-game appetite with you, then see fit to eat a small or regular. The large is the general size of an 8"-11" pizza folded over but loaded with your meat + cheese, or beans and cheese. Seriously. A Large and an Xtra Large can actually qualify as an appetizer for two at normal restaurants due to the portion size. Believe me or don't, it's your waistline that will be struggling against you pants if you don't have the benefit of elastic waistbanded skinny jeans, just order small and get two if you are wanting more. The woman behind the counter is direct and to the point. They are currently short-handed and BUSY so don't think she is unfriendly, she is making sure everyone gets an accurate order and you get enough salsa and sour cream. She is great and even answered questions because your first time in here, you WILL have questions. Affordable!! Bring all of your family, your friends, a date, your coworkers you like (the ones you don't, screw them) and you all can dine in, dine out on the patio (weather permitting), carry-out/ to-go orders, or hop through the drive thru. Be warned, the drive-thru line is probably pre-order pick-up orders because this is not fast food. It takes maybe 10-15 minutes to make food for two. So there will be a line during busy hours. Lastly, ENJOY IT!! This is better than Toxic Bell and Chipotle who?!

Excellent sopapillas, generous portions for the price. Some real good Mexican food for not a lot of dough.

I also have to freeze the sopapillas and the sauce and take them on an airplane to my son in CA.

For those of you who follow my reviews, I enjoy finding new Mexican restaurants and food trailers…read moreto put their Birria tacos to the test! This place was an epic fail. Despite other reviews on this place, the staff were actually all friendly and attentive. When I walked in I could tell that this place is no more than a bar with dine-in seating surrounding it. I didn't really find the Birria tacos on their menu however when I inquired about them the waiter stated that they have them. I didn't have to wait long for my food however from the moment my plate arrived it was sheer disappointment. My plate arrived with 3 "Birria" tacos but there was not much about these that said "Birria". They were prepared on flour tortillas that were completely soft with no sign of the classic melted cheese on the tortilla, no limes, and no dipping broth. Of course I asked for limes and broth. The "broth" that was brought to my table appeared to be watered down taco grease and tasted as such! The tacos had a fair amount of meat, onions, and cilantro in the tortilla but these were a far cry from an authentic Birria taco. When I received my check I would discover a charge of $16.08 for a plate of Americanized tacos. Meat was dry and quite tasteless. If you're looking for a place that does not serve authentic Mexican food with higher than a giraffe's nuts pricing then this is your spot!!! I will not be a repeat customer.

This is one of our favorite places for the cozy family feel and great food, making it a great place to take the family when the kids are in town. The fajitas and flautas are two of our favorite dishes there. The vegetables in the fajitas are fresh , the flautist are crisp and never soggy or reheated, and the food is served hot and always flavorful. Very highly recommend. Good selection of beers and drinks, too.

Service: waiters are friendly, but normally a younger crowd so can give off that "just doing my…read morejob" attitude at first. Sometimes a little slow and can find yourself waiting for water at times. Ambiance/Atmosphere: the inside is very nice and although narrow doesn't feel crowded or stuffy. Lighting is dimly lit enough for a nice date night, but not at all to dark. Food: The pocho burrito was amazing the first time I had it, followed by the second and third time even. Just a delicious burrito with an amazing habanero cream sauce and packed full of all three meats. I'd genuinely argue from my memory that it was the best burrito I'd ever had. That being said, I'd highly recommend skipping to go. The last 2 times I had it which has been over a year because I simple could not return it was just that disgusting. I was disheartened to have wasted my weekly cheat meals on it not once, but twice in arrow of dining here. The shrimp was hard, bland as if nothing was in my mouth, but still disgustingly fishy. The habanero sauce was tasteless and the avacado most definitely was not fresh. The chicken, steak, and peppers along with the tortilla still tasted good, but it was almost impossible to enjoy it pushing past the disgusting shrimp. The enchiladas were ok, but definitely a waste of money and calories. Not at all special. It seems that now this place is doing a bit better and has back to back 4 and even 5 star reviews. I'm giving Pocho's a 3 regardless of how awful my last two experiences were due to the fact the Pocho burrito was truly that delicious the first few times I had it. I raved about it and went back 3 weeks in arrow and even told my friends about it who loved it all the same. I used to even get two dining in and all three times getting it to go. Maybe it was my fault for trusting to go orders to much, but the first time it was just as amazing as dining in. I may give it another try as I truly do miss that delicious burrito, but I've discovered much better Mexican and don't want to risk wasting my time. Only time will tell if I give this place another shot.

Service was a little bit slow at first but our waiter then was on top of everything. It's not overly large but has a mixture of tables and booths and a bar area. Has nice decor inside! Food wise: The chicken empanada appetizer was delicious! That green sauce that came on it was so good! I enjoyed the chicken teriyaki taco special and it was very good as well. I also got a side of rice and enjoyed that as well. Others in the group enjoyed their meals and drinks as well. Would return if ever back in the area for some yummy food!
