Tried the Birria(beef), pollo(chicken), and Al Pastor(pork) tacos.

My experience with mexican food is limited, but this place for sure is a great option for Tacos. I read that the tortillas used are all handmade, and they appeared to be so. They were crispy, having a crunch on the outside with a nice subtle corn flavor, great.

I wasn't sure which taco was which when I got served, but as I ate each one I think I knew which one was which. I tried the pollo taco first. With a small dose of the avocado sauce and mild hot sauce that the owner(I think Mr. Poncho himself) told me about, I had my first bite. First impression was that the chicken was seasoned strongly, maybe too salty for my tastebuds as the sauce seemed to overpower the meat a bit which was not exactly what I hoped for. When I finished this taco, it was still great and I enjoyed it but the seasoning of the chicken was a just a tad bit too salty for me.

Birria was next, this one was the best. I've tried a birria taco before in another Mexican chain here in Greece so I knew what flavors to expect. This birria taco was great, best one I tried so far. The seasoning/marinade was slightly sweet and salty, just the right amount to not be overpowering the beef. I'd say the must try of Poncho's Tacos is the birria.

Last but not least, the pork taco. Unfortunately, similar issue to the pollo taco, it was a little too salty for me. This time, I also put in the extra hot sauce which was indeed spicy but not overbearingly so. However, I think that this may have not been the best idea to put in so much as the spicyness with the saltiness made the taco a bit too overbearing in terms of flavor, but this was my fault, not on the taco itself. Nevertheless, pork was alright, but personally it was just a little bit unbalanced in terms of flavors with the salt.

All tacos had toppings of cilantro, onions, and tomato which provided a much needed refreshing flavor to the tacos. The veges were all fresh.

Overall, the tacos here are great, but I guess my tounge is just not right for the sodium level of the seasoning here. I'd say the reviews I read may have backfired on me from the high expectations I created of the tacos. I thought the tacos here would be the best ever/extraordinary, but sadly I would not say that they were. However, don't let this deter you! I still highly recommend this location, just know to not expect revalutionary tacos.

A little bit underwhelming, but still highly recommend.

제가 타코를 잘 모릅니다. 하지만 여기 리뷰들을 읽고 진짜 멕시코에 먹었던 것보다 맛있다는 평을 보면서 큰 기대를 가지고 방문했습니다. 간단하게 말하자면, 제 기대가 너무 큰 것 같았네요, 타코들은 다 맛있고, 특히 수제 옥수수 또띠아의 구수한 맛이 특별했지만, 그 외로는 눈에 띌정도의 퀄리티는 못 느꼈습니다. 제 입맛으로는 돼지고기, 닭고기 타코들의 간이 조금 짰어요 고기의 본연의 맛을 누를정도로 너무 짜진 않았지만 한국인들에겐 안 맞을수 있을것 같습니다. 하지만 소고기(비리아) 타코는 딱 맞고 좋았습니다, 이건 추추천. 이집 타코들 추천할만합니다, 하지만 큰 기대를 가지고 오는것은 추천하진 않습니다. 딱 적당히 맛있고 근본있는 타코들을 먹고싶으면...

We wanted to find an authentic taco/Mexican cuisene resteraunt in Athens. After searching we found they were all tex mex style and not genuine Mexican food, then I stumbled upon this little beauty. When we arrived we was greeted by the owner, he was very welcoming and the small rsteraunt had a real traditional Mexican vibe going on. Now the important part, the food, delicioso! It was like being back home in Veracruz. There were multiple options of tacos, from beef, chicken, pork and more. I tried them all, and equally all as good, a real taste of proper Mexican food. We will be returning before we leave Athens. Anyone who travels to Athens, who wants proper authentic Mexican tacos, this is the only place, as you can see, I cannot talk highly enough about my experience here. I forgot to mention, the shops also has proper Mexican beers, depending on if they have stock, so worth visiting just for...
