Pulled pork empanada
Brian L.

The red food truck is located in lot next to the laundromat, behind the housing development at the T-intersection of Tices and Old Bridge Turnpike. The truck and two other semi-permanent vehicles take up about a third of the parking lot, leaving the rest available for customer parking. All of the empanadas appear to cost a flat $3. Drinks are $1. Specialty items cost from $3 to $8. Try the yuca with mojo (olive oil, garlic, lemon, salt), which is like mashed potatoes but not as heavy. Your order will be served in paper trays or white paper bags, or in styrofoam containers for larger orders. Major credit cards are accepted.

The shells are crispy. The fillings are tasty. The service was good. Not bad considering it is a food truck

Authentic Mexican cuisine at its finest! Since discovering this gem over the last summer, I've been…read morein practically every week! 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. After 10+ successful visits…read moreand many great to-go orders, this has to be one of the most authentic and consistent Mexican restaurants in New Jersey. 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.
