I haven’t been to Ponak’s for about 25 years and after last night I realized, I’ve been missing out. There were 3 of us and everyone’s food was a huge portion and delicious. The Taco Salad was great and I was barely able to finished it. The Chicken Nachos were massive and they had a ton of cheese. We got a pitcher of Margaritas and had a great meal. Our waitress did a great job and she rocked it.

I googled the top mexican restaurants in kansas city and ponaks was in the top 5. I would have to disagree with google and the ratings. Nothing stood out as super good to brag about. It was about avg on flavor. Potions were super big for the price. The salsa also was just like tomato sauce with no flavor. Ive definitely have had way better at other places.

Strong margaritas. Pricy drinks. Got a house margarita and and a draw bud lite while waiting at the bar, $14.25. seems high to me! Food good!, Had shrimp enchiladas and chicken mole enchiladas. Very crowded and usually a wait! Parking can be difficult at busy times!

Ponak’s is my go-to spot for Tex Mex comfort food. Though the experience is unlikely to impress foodies or decor snobs, anyone who just wants some good guac and chips and simple, delicious Mexican fare will love it here. However, if noise and crowds bother you, plan your mealtime for the off hours between lunch and dinner rushes.

Ponaks is our family tradition to celebrate birthdays. The servers seem to be at on the top of drinks, chips and salsa.

My family went around 3:45pm on a Saturday and it was packed! However, we were seated pretty quickly. Our server, Robin, was taking over the night shift and was able to get our table, plus at least four other tables orders in and drinks out relatively quickly considering how busy she was! My order, the deep fried flour shell tacos were awesome! My husband’s pork Chile tamale was perfect, but our daughter wasn’t a fan of the pork quesadilla. Overall, we had a good experience. We will definitely be back but sit in the bar area because there are no TVs to watch sports in the main dining area.
