Consistency is a hallmark of a good restaurant, and Ponak's Mexican is nothing if not consistent. They serve up authentic Mexican food, but with a twist -- the cheese is cheddar in most dishes. The menu is huge, with both the usual and the unusual selections. Chips and salsa are complimentary, but if you want some heat, ask for the green sauce. The atmosphere is family- oriented, with a large dining room that's decorated more like someone's kitchen than a trendy Mexican restaurant. The bar has plenty of tables, and they make one of the meanest margaritas you'll ever drink. Ponak's Mexican offers lunch specials Tuesday through Thursday, and Happy Hour Monday through Friday from 3PM to 6PM. -- Kate Cagley

    Review rating : 5out of 5   hognasty1108 - 03/08/2007

    I feel a great mexican restaurant should serve fresh food. Vegetables, beans, tortillas and sauce are made fresh daily. One other thing that is a plus. Ponak's uses no microwaves. Most other mexaican places I have been to have micro's to warm rice, beans and usually your plate of food. The rice here is out of this world. Manny's always has a styrofoam flavor that personally, I can't eat. As far as the Margarita's, best I've ever had. Unless you are not driving, or want to see things that may or may not be there, pace yourself. For my destination mexican meals, no one else even comes to mind.

  • The best!

  • Love those Margaritas

    The Margaritas have super powers in them. It is amazing what you "think" you can do after you have had a pitcher or two!

    A note to you cheap people, take care of the servers, bartenders and it wouldn't hurt once in a while if you dropped a few bucks to those hard working gals in the hot kitchen!

    We drive way out of our way to go there.

  • Love Ponak's!
