Review by Celestino Lind

Ponce's is an absolute gem in the Kensington neighborhood! 🌮 We started our meal with their Large Guacamole and Salsa Fresca, which were impressively ample. For main courses, I opted for the cheese enchiladas, and let me tell you, they were divine - smoky, saucy, and loaded with melted cheese. 🤤

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for families or a night out with friends. The service is quick and friendly, and I loved their extensive tequila selection! Can't recommend the Desert Pear Margarita enough - it’s a must-try! 🍹 Can’t wait to return!
