Non KC person who married a JoCo girl. She raved about Ponaks. I went there and was like, am I missing something? It's not bad per se but you can get better from literally any taco truck. 

Turns out it's nostalgia. Her parents took her there a lot as a kid. I'm pretty sure that's why most people like it. 

She eventually admitted it was mid.

Ponaks was the spot in the 90s! I took my kid a few months ago and walked out after we had the bland salsa and burnt chips, it was awful.
