Authentic ambiance and feel. The service was great and attentive. The menu was extensive and I really liked the Villa enchiladas. For our appetizers we enjoyed the fresco guacamole and tamal. The food needed a little salt but that was an easy fix. My only complaint were the quality of the happy hour margaritas. They tasted like limeade and I tasted no alcohol in them. Overall a good restaurant and I would definitely come back. Edit 2023: came back and everything was perfect.

My husband really enjoys the food ! very delicious ! a big variety of entrees. I usually have the hamburger & fries, they are tasty & food comes hot. ( We miss the unlimited corn chips & salsa ) the music is lively & fun, the owner takes time to visit tables and checks on his customers, which is a nice touch. Staff is friendly the cocktails are great.

Poncho Villa is a staple in my wife and I’s diet. The food and service are top notch and always consistent. While everything is delicious, I would highly recommend the Carne Asada Tacos and the Taco Gobernador. Don’t forget about the Margaritas!!

Absolutely the best Mexican food in the area! Authentic, quick, delicious! So much food for a great price! Verde sauce was perfect! Mole incredible. So many options on the menu. Sat immediately, no wait. Definitley worth a wait if you have to!! Staff is friendly and helpful. So clean. On top of all of that, they had a talented violin player serenading the bar area with beautiful music. Such a good experience. We will be back!

This place is great I have eaten pretty much everything on the menu. Service is always great, super nice patio for outdoor seating. The Bandeja Paisa is probably my favorite to have people try outside of their norm.
