I've had flautas, burritos, quesadillas, tacos, and more and I have never been let down. I absolutely love the chicken tinga and salsa verde here. The chicken tinga burrito is my go-to order and I always request extra salsa verde because it is the best salsa to ever touch my lips! I could literally drink it...Everything is so fresh and tasty! The inside has beautiful cultural decor and plenty of tables. It is a BYOB restaurant so feel free to bring your favorite adult beverage. They can be quite busy at times, but service and quality have never fallen during rush hour. If you dine in, you'll start off with fresh chips and salsa verde, which if you haven't caught on yet, you will love. I've attached some pictures from this visit and from previous visits and yes...the burritos are *always* that big and bursting at the seams. If I had to choose my last meal, it would be La China Poblana, hands down.

I'm so glad that we stumbled across La China Poblana about a year ago.

The burritos are always packed, the presentation of the molcajete for two was amazing, and the quality of their chicken, steak and pork is always great. The salsa verde is 100/10 - I could drink it! You absolutely cannot go wrong with the staples - tacos, quesadillas, burritos, tostadas, fajitas, tamales... they do it all, and they do it WELL. The service is also great when dining in. The decor of the place feels like you're somewhere in the southwest - beautiful colors and imagery on every table, chair, and wall.

12/13/25 - Early dinner tonight with the storm coming and the gang wanted Mexican food. I've been…read moreseeing reviews about a new place in Milltown, NJ called Milltown Tex Mex Deli. The name would lead you to believe that it's a small hole in the wall dive. And it may have been that way at one time but they have bought out the space next door and are converting it into a huge 2nd dining room. If a place is expanding that tells me one thing: the food is good. And it is! I ordered chicken fajitas with a side of rice. The fajitas were very flavorful and had generous amounts of chicken. Its also a very large portion so I know what I'll be eating for lunch tomorrow. The rice was a tad on the dry side but I added in several of the sauces and it was good to go. The main dining area is really cute--- definitely a good stop for a date night. Parking is a bit hard to find as you have to turn down a side street to enter the lot in the back of the restaurant. And the food comes out hot and lightning fast. I will definitely be back as they have a very large menu and there are many dishes I want to try. Overall Rating: A-

I communicated with one of them using a translation app, as she couldn't speak English fluently. I clearly explained my order to her, and she responded with "OK," so I assumed she understood. I specifically told her that I wanted hard shell beef tacos with only beef and cheese, and that lettuce and tomato should be on the side. Unfortunately, the order was incorrect. The toppings were not placed on the side, and they even added cream cheese, which I did not ask for. Additionally, I ordered cheese enchiladas, but they were also poorly prepared. This was very disappointing, especially because I was really looking forward to enjoying the food with my family. Everyone was upset because the order was wrong. I will be returning the food tomorrow, as we couldn't even eat it. I hope you can improve your service and communication, as this kind of experience is very frustrating.

Los Bandoleros is the real thing. The second we walked in, you could feel it. Spotless place, beautiful decor, authentic energy, and a vibe that instantly felt welcoming instead of forced. Michelle was absolutely fantastic. Friendly, sharp, attentive, and just genuinely great at what she does. The whole staff made us feel comfortable, and then owner Dave came over personally to welcome us, which tells you a lot about the pride behind this place. Now the food. The fish tacos were outstanding. Crispy fresh fish, light, flavorful, with fresh slaw and pico that gave every bite the perfect balance. Nothing greasy, nothing heavy, just done right. The brisket quesadilla was loaded. Smoky tender brisket, perfectly melted cheese, crispy tortilla, pure comfort food. But the brisket sourdough sandwich stole the show. Thick juicy brisket stacked high on perfectly toasted sourdough with that buttery crunch. The kind of sandwich where everybody stops talking after the first bite. Even the rice was seasoned right and tasted homemade, which says a lot because most places ignore the details. And the churros with ice cream were the perfect finish. Hot, crispy, fresh, and exactly what dessert should be. What impressed me most was how fast everything came out while still tasting fresh and made with care. As someone who checks out food spots for my page, Brooklyn vs The World, I've seen plenty of places that look good online and disappoint in person. This wasn't one of them. This place gets it right. Food, service, hospitality, atmosphere. Easy 5 stars. We'll absolutely be back.

This drink is made with corn meal which gives it some grit and thickness. Really hit the spot after walking outside on such a cold day. The tortilla chips came as a starter, were made fresh, and tasted great with the homemade salsa. I ordered two dishes that were recommended which I've never had before. Sopes al pastor and chorizo Picaditas. The tortillas on both were freshly fried and firm such that it held together the toppings, but also soft and crumbly enough on the inside making it pleasant to eat . My favorite were the sopes with all the traditional fresh ingredients that goes with al pastor.

It's near the busy intersection of Hermann and Georges, right around the corner from the City Hall across from McDonald's and Magyar Bank) and occupies the former Sunrise Grill Deli and other previous names of yore in a small house-like building, Authentic Mexican? Si! Love the food and the reasonably priced menu. Everything tasted fresh. The crunchy flautas were excellent and tasty. The Cecina was equally good, even though the salted beef steak was a bit tough, but I viewed it as a fair challenge! The sandwich/torta was equally good and fresh. And I liked the beef soft tacos too. The only drawback was the time for them to prepare -- it took them more than half an hour to finish our order, even though I think ours just coincided with a huge to-go order so it's understandable. Parking spots are not an issue and there were also street parking available if needed. There are a few tables and chairs outdoor when the weather cooperates. Tables indoor are widely spaced and the staff wore masks. Will try some other dishes next time -- Lebanese omellete?
