I came here for the first time by myself.
When I walked in there was a few people waiting to be seated.
The worker said 9 people ahead.
They take a cell number and text you when a table is ready.
They tried to seat me outside.
They said 45 minutes wait inside or 30 minutes outside (“we have heaters on the patio”). So, I said I’ll wait to sit inside. They text me within 5-10 minutes.
Table inside is ready. I get great service once I’m seated.
The food was average.
Average-Higher prices.
I had a cheese enchilada which was bland.
I had a chile relleno that was okay.
The bean burrito was the best part.
Even the nachos with cheese were better looking than tasting. The Ice cream scoop will satisfy a moderate sweet tooth craving. I’ve been blessed with authentic Mexican cuisine, and I would not say you will find that here.
I’m just being honest.
Average food.
Great service.
Good for a group / birthday party/ get together.

This is a neighborhood Mexican eatery in the 4S Ranch area. We tried a couple of different margaritas and they were fine, but I have had better. Chips + red and green salsas were quite good. Our main course consisted of a carne asada burrito and a steak and chicken fajita. These were also just fine, though the steak could be more tender. So overall this was a fine neighborhood place which I would go back to for a quick bite. However, service was just lacking.
The 2nd margarita took at least 20 minutes to arrive, we also received and were charged for extra tortillas never ordered.
Ponce's has definite potential to be a fine eatery, but some work is in order to get there.

I ordered a few take out dishes for my family.
Food was good but not amazing.
I’d give a 3.5 rating.
Generous portions.
I used the Groupon offer and it was easy to redeem.
