Review Summary
Rei da Poncha is highly regarded for its diverse selection of traditional and innovative Poncha flavors, with 95% of reviews praising the quality and taste, particularly the passion fruit and the 'meter' tasting board.
The venue's atmosphere is a major draw, noted as being lively and vibrant, with outdoor seating and a cool, chilled vibe, though it can get crowded, leading to occasional waits for a table; however, takeout options are available.
About 98% of reviewers commend the friendly, fast service and welcoming staff, often highlighting their willingness to accommodate guests and offer recommendations.
Rei da Poncha serves delicious snacks such as garlic bread and steak sandwiches, and while prices are generally considered fair, it's important to note that payments are cash-only, which 10% of reviews mention as a slight inconvenience.
The venue's central yet somewhat hidden location adds to its charm, making it a popular stop for both locals and tourists seeking an authentic and enjoyable local experience.
