Poncho TACOS

After traveling in Europe for several months, my celiac daughter had a craving for Mexican food. Poncho's tacos more than satisfied her cravings offering made from scratch tacos, tortillas, sauces and sides with ingredients that are naturally gluten free. It was very good and inexpensive for Athens.

We talked to both the cook one day and the owner the next. We found out that they import corn to make their own authentic Mexican tortillas which are GF. The shop is set up for both take out and dine in. They have a few tables and a bar if you want to sit for a quick meal. We ate here twice during our visit to Athens. The food was excellent and a real value!

Don’t miss this place!! So yummy, Pancho himself owns the place and is so kind and excited to share his tacos. I had al pastor tacos and they were delicious and had no reaction. Went back our second night for dinner, and same positive experience. Wish I could bring panchos home to the US with me :)

Authentic, cheap, and delicious tacos! No wheat flour in anything they prepare, and everything is gluten free. Not only one of the safest GF options in central Athens, but also some of the most delicious tacos I've had anywhere. (And the prices can't be beat--this is one of the only GF options that's at all cheaper than sitting down for a 15€+ meal, with much higher cross-contamination risks.) These guys are great, can't recommend them enough!
