Tacos Ponchos — Restaurant in Port Saint Lucie

I absolutely have no clue how this place has anything above a couple stars. This is mediocre Mexican food at best. First of all, I ordered for pickup and cannot attest to staff but they seemed friendly. We ordered the Birria Tacos and a Chicken Fajita Burrito. Birria Tacos: this was basically a roast beef sandwich in a deep fried tortilla. The beef had absolutely zero (and I mean ZERO) seasoning! It was literally like roast beef out of a can with the sauce poured over it as well as, more of it served as the dip. I expect Birria Tacos to have at least a hint of Chiles and smoke and the dip to have that greasy savory heat. There was none of that at all! I ate half of one and my wife ate less than a quarter. Chicken Fajita Burrito : There was almost no chicken whatsoever and what little there was, again had absolutely no flavor. Just plain grilled chiken with no flavor and no heat and no hint of that char and smoke that a Fajita chicken of any kind should have. The burrito was physically big however, it was all rice and veggies again with almost no seasoning or flavor. I am highly disappointed in this new place. We wanted to enjoy it and come back for more as we live close and love good Mexican but, like so many Mexican restaurants in Florida, it is so tamed down, bland and so far off from good Mexican or TexMex that it just isn't worth it. $37 for a burrito and a few tacos of mediocre quality is not cool. Major thumbs down. Sorry. We were...

You ever bite into something and instantly know you’re in the right place? That was me, hunched over a tray at Taco Ponchos, halfway through my first beef quesabirria taco, hands messy, eyes wide, thinking: Damn, this is it.

No frills here just heat, hustle, and flavor. Cynthia, the owner, doesn’t need to sell you anything. She just points to what’s good. For me, it was the quesabirria. Tortillas soaked in that deep red consommé, crisped to perfection, then stuffed to the seams with tender, juicy beef chuck, melted cheese, and just enough onion to bite back.

And that cup of consommé on the side? Liquid gold. Rich, savory, borderline addictive. I dunked my tacos like a savage, then drank the rest straight from the cup. No shame.

It was the kind of meal that makes you stop talking and just eat. The portion? Perfect. Enough to kill the post gym hunger without putting me in a food coma.

Taco Ponchos isn’t trying to impress anyone. It’s just doing what it does damn well....

I came here after I saw the review from baldy eats on tiktok. Everything on the menu sounded so good, it took me a minute to decide what I wanted. It's a bit small on the inside, I wanted to take it to go, but since it was my first time there i sucked it up and dined in. Only because I wanted to know what the food tasted like fresh, rather than when you order to go, to me when you order food to go it seems like sometimes it's not made as well as if you were dining in. Anyway, I ordered the birria tacos and for my drink I ordered horchata. The birria tacos were amazing! They had so much flavor! I was so happy and the horchata was so good I order a second one to take home with me. The service was friendly and my food was made in decent time. The wait wasn't too long at all. The restaurant appeared to be clean as well. I can't wait til I'm...
