Poncitlan #5 - Chicago

I really enjoyed this restaurant - the food and service were both excellent.

I have brought four different people to this restaurant to try the food. I absolutely love the rice! I usually stick to tacos, rice with chips and salsa. I have never had a bad experience here. The rice is always fresh and fluffy, and the meat tastes fresh and is never tough. The staff is very sweet, and even though I am not fluent in Spanish and some of them are not fluent in English, they still find a way to connect and communicate. I love the atmosphere here, you can taste the spirit!

I decided to try their steak burrito, which was packed with delicious meat and wrapped perfectly. The coffee was mild but satisfying. We were quickly seated by the friendly staff. However, I was disappointed to learn that management does not allow tipping on credit or debit cards. This policy leaves waitresses without tips unless customers go to an ATM to get cash. I believe management should update this policy to reflect modern times.

Great tacos and tortas and tostadas. Everything about this place is authentic.

Love this place, the best vegetarian burrito and horchata! Best guacamole
