“ A staple in the Kensington neighborhood of San Diego, Ponces is good old home cooking Mexican at its finest! Friendly staff, great food, full bar and just a very comfortable homey vibe. Parking lot seems to be usually full, but I have never had trouble finding street parking metered or nonmetered ”

“ Had an amazing dining experience at Ponces in Kensington! The tacos were absolutely delicious, and the burrito chimichanga style was to die for. Big thanks to Michelle and Parker for their excellent customer service they made the meal even better with their friendly and attentive care. Highly recommend! ”

“ Overall, this was a great experience. The guacamole was the best I ever had. They make it very smooth. I usually like it spicy but they have a twist to it. I loved everything about this place. Parking can be challenging. I cant wait to go again. ”

“ Portions were great for the value. Waitresses were very friendly and staff was very quick and efficient on getting orders out, despite being busy. Flavors were great, their salsas taste were spot on. A little more citrus and it would all be perfect. Id definitely come back for more. ”

“ Love the Lunch specials here. Always a good time here. The Queso dip is my go to. I could put it on everything. ”

“ Great sit down Mexican restaurant, good tequila bar vibe but also family friendly. Food is a bit more pricey than other smaller Mexican shops, but for a sit down, prices were good. Food was great, had to wait a bit but normal for a popular restaurant. Waiters and waitresses were friendly and they cleaned the high chairs after each use. ”

“ Came back to my beautiful little neighborhood and its best restaurant, Ponces. Been eating there since I can remember. Its as good now as it was then. The staff is professional and friendly. The food is FANTASTIC. This is the place I dream of when I want delicious Mexican food. Thank you to the hardworking family and staff that keep this the best restaurant in my heart and soul! ”

“ 5 stars for great service and of course their killer cheese enchiladas! Also this place exudes happiness vibes! All the folks that work at Ponces seemed genuinely happy to be there. We started out with Large Guacamole and a Large Salsa Fresca pico de gallo. When they say large they mean it! Mind you, they serve chips and salsa on the spicy side once youre seated, so we gilded the lily. Next time we get smalls, was too much, even for us I know right?! Both of is ordered lunch specials plus I added an extra cheese enchilada, also not necessary. I have to say that this is by far one the best cheese enchiladas Ive had in a very long time. You know the kind, smokey chili, cumin spiked. supersaucy and covered with more cheese. So comforting and so delicious! Can we also talk about their refried beans? Wow. If you come to Ponces for anything it has to be the cheese enchilada , refried beans and those beautiful smiles. ”
