    The food was pretty good but our server did everything she could to prevent us from enjoying our meal. She was very rude for no reason.

    Had a great time on a Friday night. Super chill environment and the decor is so nice and warm. Had the shrimp tacos and elote and it was so yum! Also had the mango margarita and it had us LIT! Will be back!

    Love going to El Ponce! It's my go-to place to take visitors. Great food and service. Usually can get a table no problem, although I make a reservation.

    Went as soon as they opened at noon on a Saturday. It wasn't very busy so the noise level was low, but there were families meeting there, friends, and so on. I thought the pricing was fair, and the food was well prepared and delicious. I recommend this restaurant and would go again!

    Loved this place!! Real Mexican food served by the nicest people. Everything was delicious from the guacamole cheese dip and salsa to the steak fajitas for two which could of fed six! Very accommodating. Refilled drinks. Chips salsa without even asking. Would definitely go back again next trip to Atlanta. Loved how people were Sitting outside and they gave them mexican blankets to wear. Such a nice place.

    While we were on the patio they were changing the sign and it was unpleasant and noisy. They really could have done this not during dining hours. Service was slow and if we ordered water it took ten minutes and kind glass showed up .. I would never go back
