You must try! Service was great and the food is amazing. Light not too heavy and the tacos are so unique. We get the street corn every time we come here as it's just delicious. The roasted corn is a little detail that makes the difference.

Really disappointing experience at Poncho Lefty’s Cantina.
It took about 10 minutes just to be acknowledged at check-in, and we only got seated after flagging down a bartender—even though the place was mostly empty. Once seated, service didn’t improve. We waited another 15 minutes with no server, had to wave someone down twice, and even then it took more time before anyone came to take our order.
The food didn’t make up for it.
• Quesadilla with grilled chicken: just okay (my son barely ate half)
• Avocado bowl: decent, nothing special
• Fried avocado taco: honestly terrible—sweet/cinnamon flavor that just didn’t work
• Beef taco: mediocre
• Street corn: also oddly sweet with cinnamon… not authentic at all
We also ordered chicken tortilla soup and never received it. When the server finally checked on us (once), we mentioned it—but by that point, we were over it.
To top it off, we waited another 15 minutes just to get the check, along with another table nearby doing the same thing.
Overall:
Service was slow and inattentive, food was underwhelming, and flavors felt off.
There are way too many great Mexican spots to waste time here. Would not recommend.
