Ponaks Mexican Kitchen - Kansas City

5 stars. Staff is very polite and helpful. Food was great and portions were nice easy location. Top 5 for sure

Good visit with my favorite humans. Loved this place. I'm told historic joint and I can see why. Really had good time. Busy but no waiting. Food was great and portions were large. Highly recommended.

Oh gosh, THE FOOD and Drinks ARE AMAZING THE atmosphere is incredible, the place is always packed but, they have the BEST SERVICE EVER They have the best service! so amazing they bring chips and salsa at your table the minute you get set down, then immediately they take your drink orders Right after that, the server takes your order Your perfect food is served with in a few minutes~ no joke They can move tables and chairs together to accommodate 10 OR MORE people, I saw them do it two times One group was 12 to 13 and the other was 8 to 10... they were served just like it was a small group!! Awesome AWESOME PLACE I will be back ASAP

There is only 1 Ponak’s, it’s a KC institution everyone should visit. I don’t even live in KC but always go when I return. Simply the best margarita’s anywhere. Unique and not like what you’ve had before, made with Rose’s Lime Juice and a good amount of booze. Bonus, you can get them to go. Their food is great, excellent Tex-Mex style. Highly recommend the Sonoran Tacos, deep fried to perfection. But everything is good. Good chance there will be a small wait but tables turn quick, just have a pitcher of margs while you wait. Always fast service and nice folks.

Food was amazing and staff friendly and accommodating. Always super busy-call ahead for a reservation at least 30 minutes-more during meal times and on weekends. Margarita pitchers are $32, so be warned. Portion sizes are huge. Red salsa isn't very good; salsa verde is, but on the spicy side. Try the queso blanco!
