User Reviews of Ponaks Mexican Kitchen

Yelp.com Review - by Erin M.

4.0 of 5 stars. From now on, I'm going to live off Ponak's Green Diet: Their gaucamole made with magic and heaven, and their margaritas made with way too much tequila and probably a little bit of magic as well.I'll...

Yelp.com Review - by Bart M.

4.0 of 5 stars. Good food. Fun. Festive. Margaritas are best in town. If you go on a weekend evening, be prepared for an hour or so wait. Food is very cheesy. I like cheese. I like Ponaks

Yelp.com Review - by Kate R.

2.0 of 5 stars. Crappy food, good 'ritas. Endless chips and salsa are provided but the chips are usually stale. A cozy atmosphere with unremarkable staff.

Yelp.com Review - by L. Matt H.

5.0 of 5 stars. I will admit I'm biased to this place. Not everybody is in love with their food as I am but I simply love Ponak's....specifically, I'm in love with their margaritas. I have tasted nothing like their...

Yelp.com Review - by Jay B.

4.0 of 5 stars. Not the Best in town (that honor overwhelmingly belongs to Rudy's on Westport Rd), but still very good. There is a reason why there is an hour wait for a table every Fri and Sat night. The margarita's...

The Best Mexican Restaurans by Cheryl M. at InsiderPages

Come to Ponaks for the best Mexican restaurant around, good prices, good service, when you are there you feel like one of the family. Also good margaritas.

Overflowing portions of yumminess

Hordes of delicious food for nothing. Although many of us got platters (the #16 with 2 burritos is my particular sin), others at the table managed to stuff themselves for under $5. The service was great - the...

Yelp.com Review - by Ashley P.

3.0 of 5 stars. After stopping by Boulevard Brewery this weekend, we checked out Ponaks (thanks to the tour guide mentioning that it was close by. Otherwise we would have never known).We weren't hungry, but we'd...

Why all the good reviews?

I stopped by Ponak's with my daughter based on good reviews I have read, what a dissapointment! I CAN NOT understand how Ponak's gets these good reviews. Both my daughter and I ordered the # 1 and left most of...

Yelp.com Review - by Katie B.

3.0 of 5 stars. There seems to be a lot of people who like Ponak's, at least judging by the amount of people who eat there on a regular basis. Their food is okay, but inconsistent. Some of their dishes are a little...

Best Margaritas!!!

We've been going to Ponak's for many years. You can't get a better margarita ANYWHERE! Their food is good and reasonably priced. In all this time we've only run across one staff member with an attitude, and...

World Class Margaritas by Amy A. at InsiderPages

The food is really good at Ponaks but their margaritas are awesome. They have margaritas on tap and they are very strong. Order a pitcher of margaritas, but make sure you have a designated driver. Reasonable...

Not good

If you want Americanized bland food that taste like it is covered with cheese sauce from a can (think the ballpark nacho stuff from the pump dispenser coming out of a big can) or made from a package of dried...

KC's Best Mexican Food

My wife and I love to date at Ponak's. The food is consistently excellent and the atmosphere and service are superb. Try the chili rellano (#6) with a gold margharita on the rocks!

Truly Margaritaville

The BEST margaritas in town. Not for the faint of heart. On the rocks with salt! Forget the crushed stuff. Be prepared to wait for seating, but have a margarita and do some people watching.

Excellent Mexican Always

I feel that ponaks is the best mexican food in Kansas City. It is always hot and fresh and they do not skimp on ingredients or spices. I have never left hungry, or dissatisfied.
