Reviews for Ponak's Mexican Kitchen & Bar in Kansas City, MO

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! Read more

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 amountof 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 apitcher of margs while you wait. Always fast service and nice folks. Read more

This place is a must go in the area. If you like things spicy make sure you mix in the green salsa with the red. If you want to... go a little off menu get the Burrito Papas add chrizo, cover it with white queso and get a fried egg on top. Anyone I?ve takenthere ends up getting this item and love it! Read more

Came to try it out since we heard their margaritas were really good ? the food or the drinks were pretty bad ..disappointing?

This was my second time coming to Ponaks. We showed up around 2 o clock and ordered half pitcher margaritas. The salsa is so... good and spicy! Our bartender was very friendly and funny! He convinced us to stay until Happy Hour started :) Will be comingback to try more food off the menu! Read more

I go to Ponak?s Mexican Kitchen & Bar all the time with friends and family. It has a rich Kansas City history and Boulevard... Brewing Company, just down the street, sold their first keg here. Go for the Margaritas, which are strong, stay for the greatlocal Mexican food. Family friendly atmosphere. Usually there is a bit of a wait, but I have come to expect this becauseeveryone else in KC likes this place as much as I do. Read more

This was recommended to me by the locals. I'll start by saying I'm happy with the recommendation! The food is very... reasonable,very tasty, and to top off with a great price highest thing being the margaritas at $20. So to go out to get somegreat food and a good buzz you're not breaking the bank. Only complaint is parking can be rough so get here early or be preparedto walk. Overall will definitely come again. (Sorry for the pictures they couldn't wait the food was that good) Read more
