Amazing service . Amazing food , and the vibes are just it ! Amazing place to spend your Sunday family day or special occasions! I ordered the dish "Mar y Tierra" and I regret not taking picture because it was absolutely delicious!!!! The servers are amazing here !! All friendly and very on there service !!.
El poblano delivers again , 3 steak burritos out of the world as always. Few little mistakes but not crazy. I eat here my share and this is the best for Mexican food, Norris tacos good to
Bad food. The service? Even worse. Slow, dismissive, and downright rude. Management clearly has no idea how to run a restaurant, let alone keep customers happy. One star feels generous. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. If you've truly hit rock bottom and decide to give it a shot, do yourself a favor, skip the chile rellenos. Unless you enjoy them ice-cold with rice that's both undercooked and flavorless. But hey, if you're already here, maybe that's your thing.
Stopped here for lunch on our way home from an 8 mile hike at Indiana Dunes. We sat at the bar and had the best service. This was the best restaurant experience we've had in a while. I got the chicken chimichanga lunch special which was HUGE! I took half of it home to have as leftovers. The BlackBerry Mojito was on special for $7.50. This is definitely a come back to restaurant!
Service alone is phenomenal!!!!! Our waitress named was Rachel and she was amazing. I tell you I thought I was a celebrity with the service we got. There was like 2-3 other guys coming to make sure we didn't want more chips and salsa, coming to clear stuff off the table and all. The hostess greeted us with a smile and asked where we wanted to sit after she gave us the different seating options. The place looked pretty clean but the menus were kind of sticky. The food was ok but the service will definitely make me come back over and over again. Our bill was a little over $100 bucks which isn't bad for 2 apps, 4 dinners and 3 drinks. Check them out!!! You won't regret it.
Hubby and I chose El Poblano Mexican Restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. We'd been there years before with our son and daughter-in-law and thought the food was wonderful. It was again wonderful! But things have changed. Hubby ordered a mar y tierra at $32.99 and I ordered a Quesadilla Dinner (with shrimp) at 20.98. He also ordered a beer and I an 18 oz House Margarita at an astounding $11.49. Mind you, hubby's large steak and butterflied shrimp were perfect, except for the large fatty end of the steak. His also came with rice, refried beans and salad. See photo for my dish, attractive, and those quesadillas were sooo tasty. I ate almost all mine, hubby could not finish his. We'd been out most of the day and prior to chips, went to wash our hands where we were greeted with a strong sewer smell. They had air fresheners posted near the doors but no mistaking the odor. We got the tortilla chips and salsa variety shortly before the dinner, which thankfully came before I got tipsy on the drink. Our server, Jose, was gracious, helpful, and gave us just the right amount of time and privacy, did not interrupt the meal except to check on us appropriately. Then here he came with two shots--tequilla? We were both surprised. I tasted but couldn't drink it. I wondered if that was going to be added to the check. It was not. But the last surprise was the "Other Tip" at 14.09. Hubby and I routinely make sure we have cash for the tip and were prepared with a twenty until we noted that--pulled the twenty and left a ten, unhappy with the fourteen added to the check. Taxes were another $6.76. Really, our food experience was exceptional, the service great, the atmosphere pleasant except for the bathroom excursion. But it may have gotten too pricey for our return.
We were wanting to check out A new place for Birria that was not all the way to Pilsen, and have a drink while shopping. The ambience is pretty, the service was amazing however the food not so much. The 16$ birria was the greasiest, soggy mess that came with NO sides...I had to take it home and fix it in the air fryer for my husband to eat them. The chimichanga was ok, not crispy, bland.... seems like the food came out so fast that they forgot to pay attention to quality. My house margarita was on special for a medium, however when the medium came out it was HUGE and also 17$ . Ask what the actual price is, I suppose. It was a very pretty drink, although when using dry ice in a beverage I think it's important to advise guests when and how it's safe to drink. I do give it stars for service. We will definitely stick to our place in Pilsen for our crispy, cheesy Birria.
The new location is beautifully decorated with great ambiance. The food as always is exceptional. Service is always fast and attentive. I will be coming here for my birthday lunch this year.
This place has me in a chokehold for real! This place is so good! The food is always served hot and the service is great! I can't really say much about the decor, but the restaurant is always clean when I come in. Definitely recommend!
The food here is good but for me everything is a little too salty. I've had a burrito here and it was loaded. Last time I had chicken flautas and they were very tasty. Service is good and fast!! This used to be a different Mexican restaurant and they kept the water features, plants, paintings everywhere. It's a very lively and fun space. Now this is the most important part. For those of you on a date to impress or for a girls night, the drinks here are amazing (not cheap though) they put dry ice in them so they smoke and bubble. I've had a few margaritas, a mojito, and a daiquiri. I'll come again for the amazing drinks (they range from $12-$30)
Thanks you Yelp, we came across this gem on a recent road trip. We love Mexican food and gave it a try on a Saturday for lunch. It did not disappoint. I had the Watermelon Sangria special of the day and it was huge. It also came out steaming and bubbling like it was on dry ice caldron. Which was cool because it stayed that way the whole time I was drinking it. My dining partner had a smaller frozen spicy mango margarita, which was excellent. He has the Poblano Especial and it was really good and a huge amount of food. The rice and sauce were excellent and the fresh avocado was great. I had a shrimp street taco and all the fixings off his dinner. Overall, we had a really great lunch. The atmosphere is festive and the service was very quick and friendly. My only issue was we didn't realize how expensive the drinks were (note to ask) but my drink was 20$ and his was 15$ - which was more than the food. When in town next, we will return.
110% the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. Got hooked on the Birreria tacos. I have tried them in several other places and they don't even cone close. The jalapeño margarita is probably the greatest margarita in the country!
Overall, an excellent experience. The food was delicious, the service solid, and the overall feel of the place was fun. After a fifteen minute wait, we were seated in a lovely booth. Immediately our server got us chips and salsa. My friend ordered the shredded beef chimichangas which she said was yummy. I ordered the a la Diabla, a spicy shrimp in chipotle sauce. Little did I know that the meal (translation: "she devil") would be on of the spiciest meals I have ever eaten. I like spice, but this was at hell heat level (thus the name). To help with the heat, I had a raspberry mojito that was sooo good. The drink comes with dry ice which makes it bubble and froth! Just an amusing touch. I was also impressed by the variety of seafood choices including seafood micheladas (spicy Mexican beer and tomato juice cocktails). If you like tequila, there is a huge list! If you want a margarita, they have some creative ones like a Candyland or Cotton Candy. And if you don't do alcohol, there are lots of non-alcoholic drinks too. If you want a unique Mexican seafood experience, I would recommend El Poblano. Creative menu, generous portions, good service, and decent prices. We will definitely be coming back!
Had the birria ramen and the portion size is huge! It was really enjoyable overall. My only complaint is that the service can be a little slow, but their waiters are super friendly. My husband said it's one of his new favorite restaurants to go to read more
The birria tacos were really good! A lot of meat in each of them, and not too much cheese. The churros were pretty good! Not as good as Costco's back in the day, but decent. I got it to-go so the service was pretty fast. The ambiance was traditional and clean. I would definitely go back! read more
We arrived on a Saturday evening with no reservations & no wait before we were seated. The waiter was friendly, in a I think he really enjoys his job kind of way. They brought out chips and salsa, I love that. I ordered a tamale, others ordered shrimp fajita, chicken quesadilla & surprisingly they had chicken Alfredo for the little ones. My food tamales was ok, nothing to really brag about. It seemed like for a dinner it was missing something. The beans & rice was what you'd expect also. It was karaoke night, and there was a large party celebrating something. I think this is a perfect place for a family or even some type of corporate event. It was very spacious & I loved the decor & aesthetics. I didn't order anything to drink but I saw they had pretty epic margaritas & a bar area. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd check them out. read more

Flavorful Mexican cuisine! Attentive staff. Abundant seating. Portions are large -- they don't skimp on the meat. The birria tacos and birria quesadillas are delicious. I enjoy their tacos as they are flavorful and full of meat. The burrito comes with cheese on top and it wasn't my favorite but still tasty. Chips and salsas are not only delicious but also provided even in to-go orders. read more

Another 5 star experience from these wonderful people! It was PACKED but it was also Friday night. Our wait was 15 minutes which was very doable. The ambiance as also was warm and cozy. The place was literally buzzing with how many people were there . Our server Jose M. was super courteous as always. My friend and I ordered water (duh) and I really like the upgrade from the plastic cups to the glass mugs. A nice touch! For my drink I had the pink lemonade margarita and my friend ordered the candyland margarita . Mine was very delicious and the pour was immaculate. Hers tasted like, well, candyland lol. For starters always chips and queso with the salad that came included . The salsa was especially delicious tonight. I love that they blend it instead of leaving it chunky. The little pieces of onion and garlic just do it for me ...and as always, you gotta double dip the salsa and the queso lol. For my entrée I wanted to try something new so I ordered the arroz con pollo with shrimp which POPPED AWWF l! Omg as I live and breathe. It came with tortillas if you wanted to put the mixture inside. I personally would have enjoyed more of the Spanish rice but I also didn't ask so it wasn't a big deal. It was INCREDIBLE! I managed a few bites because ya know, I get full very quickly but also , leftovers . I told my friend she had to order the birria tacos with a side of rice because she's never been here before and it's a MUST. She happily obliged and went into a trance immediately after her first bite . I was giggling and kicking my feet under the table because I KNOW the feeling of the first bite lol. We sat for about an hour and a half and were checked on by our server and busboys . Theres never a rush to be done fast or feel like you need to move . They were absolutely wonderful per usual. 10/10 stars. This place never disappoints! If you're EVER in the area, please stop in! I've never had a poor experience or meal here. It's always a good time. About total came to 75.48. With sales tax it was 81.52 without tip. Also, while waiting, I looked up for the first time and noticed there beautiful art on the ceiling... once again , 10/10. I'll be seeing you guys soon! Thank you for a lovely dinner! I appreciate the service, food and hard work that you guys provide everytime . read more

Being that it was Valentine's Day, we wanted to get out early to avoid crowds and because we have to get up early for work. First impression walking in.. cute place. Ordered drinks, a little disappointed they didn't have frozen strawberry margaritas because the machine was broken I was told, but I settled for a frozen lime one instead which was really good. We received chips and salsa right away. Just standard, nothing fancy. Ordered the bean and cheese dip for appetizer which came with tortillas. At first I thought it was odd because I'd always had chips with any kind of cheese dip, but the change was nice. Dip really good. I couldn't decide between the Birria tacos or the El Poblano special, so I made sure to find out if the tacos were beef or lamb being that Birria is usually lamb. They're beef and the server said they're "known for them" All of their food is excellent but everyone orders these. Ok... sold! And... he was right! Delicious!!!! Hubby ordered the carne asada like he always does and he was beyond impressed. We also ordered tamales and I'm sorry for saying this... but nah. Tamales were dry. I dipped them in my consommé from my tacos which helped a bit but nah... I won't be ordering those again. Beans were excellent!!! I hate runny beans... who makes runny beans anyways???? These beans were perfect!! Rice was good... standard. Service very good A lot of things on the menu I want to try and I will be reviewing Oh... Just so you know.. They do add gratuity even just for 2 people. We gave a little extra because we were pretty impressed! Until next time... read more

First time ever where I have NOT had my fajitas with the meat/onions/peppers served on a hot skillet...that was a disappointment. That being said, the flavor was decent and I did enjoy the salsa. The new restaurant has a lovely dining room. A few tweaks to the menu and this would easily be a 4/5 experience, but today a solid 3. read more
