Pancho Villas

Love this place, great food and people… theu remember your face and are good people… very good acp! Don’t miss out on the best mexican in Salisbury

Not very good. I won’t go back.

If I think of Mexican food then this is the place where I want to go in Salisbury. The place is big, and very attractive inside. It’s conveniently located off of highway 85.
They have a big menu. It’s sometimes difficult to decide what you would want after looking at their menu. I had several meals here in the last 6 months or so. I go for lunches and dinners atleast 3 times in a month. They have great selections so I know I will find something or other that is good and very good.
The staff is very friendly and very attentive. They love chatting with Customers. And I love chatting with them.
I like my chip with Verde sauce. They know it!
I went here many times, solo and with friends. My friends also like this place. They are all happily surprised to see this place and eat food here. I feel I can’t go wrong if I take my friends here for a meal.
The meal is of really good portion. I ate many dishes on the menu. So I can’t tell, one thing is better than other. I felt whatever items I had, they were all good. Definitely, the dinner portions felt that they are bigger than the lunch portion. And I love bringing the leftover home for next day lunch. ;-) They are all delicious.
This place is the value for your money, and more. Definitely, I see myself eating here more often in the future.
Gracias!

I eat at Pancho Villas at least once a week. It is my favorite restaurant for affordable, family dining. A few of our favorites are the Don Juan special, ACP, fajitas for two and mixed grill.
Don’t judge the book by its cover, is what I would say the tip of the day on this restaurant happens to be! It may not be fancy, but if you are looking for fancy, be prepared to pay for that… this is a humble restaurant that serves good food, for a fair price.
They have an extensive menu (pages, we are talking a book here!) Along with lunch menu, Children’s menu, sides, full bar and more. Pretty much whatever you want. They will take care of you.
Large parties? No problem! Want a room for an event, no problem… so accommodating Juan is. I (heart) pancho villas.

We travel to Salisbury once a year around Thanksgiving to visit the family. I was disappointed this year to see my favorite Mexican restaurant there had closed down, and was forced to try Pancho Villa’s to get my Mexican fix. The outside is not much to speak of and isn’t very welcoming but we were seated immediately and there was only one or two other tables that had people at them. The staff was friendly enough, nothing over the top or amazing. The food was served quickly, but what a disappointment. =(The food was «blah» … there was little flavor, none of it had the Mexican spice and heat that we were craving. We ordered nachos as an appetizer … they came out as chips covered in a filmy cheese sauce … and were soggy. The food overall was sub-​par, definitely not a place I’d recommend for people who are looking for authentic Mexican taste and environment, and I would not return there. There are plenty of other options for Salisbury travelers or residents alike.
PS — wonderful margaritas!

Pancho, Pancho, Pancho… When I first moved to Salisbury, my boyfriend and I wanted to find a place to eat great Mexican food that was close, convenient, and good.
We were sadly disappointed with Pancho Villa. The place needs an update for sure. The service was asi-​asi (OK in English).I remember a fly bothering me throughout my meal… ordering guacamole and receiving some green mush which may have had been an avocado at one point in time… and the food… it was just okay.
Nothing struck me that was great, nothing made me want to return, and I haven’t been back since.
P.S– Best Guacamole I’ve had so far is at El Patron, made right in front of you!

Good food and service. No complaints from me!

Oh my Pancho Villa… what happened to you!!! In the beginning, when you just started out and had a few booths and tables in the strip mall wedged between Food Lion and Lowes you were the best. I could, and practically did, visit you everyday for lunch, and I always experienced superior service from Sr. Santiago and his family. Now you moved to a much larger venue where I believe the management has changed and you are busier, slower, dirtier, and not to point fingers but the last time I partook a few hours later I found myself a little ‘green around the gills’. The love affair is officially over… don’t call me anymore…

Pancho Villa, was a killer, a bandit, and a revolutionary leader, yet many remember him as a folk hero. He was the Robin Hood of Mexico. So much for the history lesson, but the restaurant that uses his moniker is appropriate. It’s not all good, or all bad. If you’re looking for a raucous good time you might just fit in.
On the night we stopped in it sounded like karaōke night in the other room and they were having fun. We were there for meet up and a light bite. I had a couple of chicken tacos and sweet tea. I thought I ordered them medium, but they came out plain. We didn’t have much time, we planned on a movie later that night, so I didn’t investigate further. Later that night my niece became nauseous and I suspect? Well if your going out for a drink and some fun it sounds like a place to let your hair down. I think I’ll skip any meals.

Pancho’s is everything less… the place is less clean the service is less and the portions are less. I don’t know about you but, there is something about a restaurant when you go to the bathroom there is a distinct urine smell that makes it a turn off for me. Makes me wonder about the kitchen.
The only reason why people go here and get less is because, I guess they do not know that about a mile up the road their is a Mexican restaurant that makes Poncho’s well LESS much less without the urine! Yes they actually have clean bathrooms ! (Casa Grande)
Some people I guess go to a place for a while and they are like horses running with blinders on see nothing but, what is in front of them urine and all… Health Department where are you when we need you? Did you get some free Tacos for not going to the bathroom? Or for over looking it?
