I'm going to try Ponaks today for lunch

One of my first times at Ponaks was a work lunch. I had just graduated. I had never and will never be more pak'd at work. If it was a real company like 5 of us would have been canned that day.

I'm there about every 10 days if someone is looking to kill me, that would be the place to start.

Ponaks is incredibly tasty, weirdly I have never been that pak'd there. Definitely imbibed but not insanely so.

I've never been, but it looks like typical Tex-Mex (good). Also, the menu prices look cheap af (good but possibly bad).

I've heard non-KC people talk up Ponaks and KC people talk crap on it.

Ponaks is what all the boomers remember going to the boulevard to have margs and tacos in the 70's and 80's and it was THE GOOD STUFF.

Manny's is kind of the same.

Yeah it has no resemblance to actual Mexican food but it has its place in tex mex genre. Their salsa is disgusting for example. I've got my rotation of 10 ala carte items I bounce between as I suck down marg pitchers

ponaks has terrible food and great margaritas

also, ponaks was the very first establishment to put boulevard beer on tap. it was and still is, their pale ale.

Pale ale isn't an IPA but yeah they were first

I'll be happy to sit with these dissenters and walk them through proper ponaks ordering and change their lives.

DQ12 · « **Reply #6588 on:** April 22, 2024, 10:55:59 AM »

their salsa is offensively bad.

i'm pretty amenable to any mexican place/texmex place, but Ponak's is absolute garbage.

Fox and pearl brunch is back and it's magnificent

Had this again yesterday and every body at the table loved it. They do annoying things there though. Someone wanted ketchup for their breakfast potatoes and they said they don't have ketchup. Like wtf have ketchup dorks. They serve fries.

Second we split their potted cheese which didn't come with enough bread, so got more and charged 5 bucks for a side of bread. I mean come on, that's a third of the dish price.

Still great place I'll recommend to everybody and will go back just dumb restaurant things imo
