This was our first dining experience here, and it won't be our last! We were seated promptly and brought our drinks right away. Very nice menu with some local specialties. Very friendly service. Very nice spacious atmosphere. I ordered the chile relleno with chicken and my husband ordered the taco salad. Both were exquisite! The chips and salsa were excellent! We can hardly wait to dine with them again!

My family of 9 stopped here for dinner tonight and had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Paco as our server. He was friendly and helpful and very attentive. Service this good is so hard to find I can’t tell you how much we appreciate it after a long day. I got the Birra tacos and they’re the best I’ve ever had, super crispy and flavorful.

Stopped in for a late lunch with my mom and sisters for A Mother’s Day weekend trip. Paco was so nice and made our lunch very fun and enjoyable. The food and margaritas were really good as well. Will definitely visit on the next trip as well. Thanks again!!! Wide Bottom girls : )

Excellent customer service, delicious Mexican food and atmosphere. They had 2.99 margaritas on National Margarita Day Follow their FB page for specials. They have a spicy salsa, the tamales are on point and I highly recommend the garlic shrimp. Just switch out the veg for frijoles. Did I mention Taco Tuesday? #carnitas update: 4th year Anni for El Poblano - Excellent specials including 1.99 house margaritas and shots of tequila, 2.50 draft beer. Amazing Cinco De Mayo Special #carneasada Cheers!

My wife had the birrata, and I had the 3 tamales plate. It was some of the best Mexican food we've ever had. They also bring you complimentary chips and salsa. Our bill was 31 after tip so I think the cost was good. Server was very nice and prompt. We will definitely be visiting again.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at El Poblano Mexican Restaurant for lunch, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. To begin with, the tortilla chips were incredibly fresh, setting the tone for a delightful meal. We started with the Choriqueso, which was simply delicious, with the perfect blend of flavors and a creamy texture that left us wanting more. For our main course, we opted for the carne asada tacos, and they were nothing short of amazing. The meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, providing a mouthwatering taste that I highly recommend to anyone visiting El Poblano. Overall, El Poblano Mexican Restaurant offers a fantastic dining experience with exceptional food and great service. I highly recommend giving it a try!
