There are a lot of good Mexican restaurants in this area but this one is different. It's like they care more about their food. I had the pork burrito, the Burrito Calentano. (I heard they are kinda known for the pork). It was very good! The pork is fried but it's still moist, which adds a special crunch. The burrito was 2 meals so that tells you how big it was. The wait staff are very attentive and friendly and brought drink refills without asking, a nice thing. I liked it because it was quiet. The booths have high backs on them so you don't hear the tables around you. It's a very good restaurant and we will be back. read more

Typical local Mexican restaurant decor with outdoor seating. Fantastic. Service was very prompt. Once they seated us, she took our drink order before she left the table. I ordered pork enchiladas and they substituted verde sauce. The pork was seared on a flat top giving it a slightly crispy texture. My favorite because it renders the fat off the pork butt. My wife had shrimp with poblano and onions ($13.99). Portions were perfect. Service was excellent and my dinner was $9.99. If we were local, this would be a twice per week stop. read more

This was uninspired food that was mediocre at best. The restaurant was not friendly or inviting. The staff seemed disinterested and the food reflected a lack of any pride in preparation. I read positive reviews and thought I would give this place a try. I'll not be back and I can't emphasize enough how underwhelming this was. read more

Food was okay. The heat in the restaurant was so intense one of our friends almost passed out. We asked if they would turn the heat down - nothing. There are too many mexican restaurants in Bryson City to go back to this one. read more

We loved everything we ordered. Guacamole was delicious and it comes with warm chips. Tacos very tasty and chimichanga was good too. We will definitely be back. read more

Amazing and kind service, very quick turnaround on the food. Fresh and delicious, seriously try the shrimp dish (camarones poblanos). Drinks are so delicious too! Would come back. Stop by and visit them. The music was also on point, we sat at the front patio and had a blast! read more

This is a nice local Mecxican restaurant with a full menu to choose from. There is plenty of dining area inside ( and air conditioned ) or outside on a small covered patio. You can view their menu online, and there is the full range of traditional Mexican fare. They start you off with a basket of chips and salsa. The soft drink servings are huge. We both ordered The Burro Loco. Basically a burrito stuffed with three meats and nacho cheese sauce, top with guacamole. It was a bit of a struggle to finish the full serving, but I did! The meals were served quickly, and since this was located close to our campground, we were back home in no time. The location on Main Street is outside the store / shopping area, so it is easy to park. The service was good, although I think our server's English was limited, but not a problem. Enjoyed the experience and food, and hope to visit again on our next trip to Bryson City. read more

I had the enchiladas verde and hubby had chicken fajitas for one. The chicken was very tender in both dishes. The service was fast and the beer cold. All in all was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience. By the way, there were enough fajitas for 2! read more

Great food at a good price. Good chips and salsa. The queso is a little thin but thats just me.

Always a great experience for service, quality food, and friendly staff . We return often.

Stopped by while driving thru town, what a gem. Service was prompt, food was delicious. I hade the Especiale and my wife had the twin chicken enchilada's. Both outstanding and plentiful. Chips were served warm. Very good fare, after living in El Paso this is the closest I've had to good Mexican fare in a while. read more

Can't say the review is about the food- never made it that far, sat there for 14 minutes- ever worker there tried to act they didn't see me- walked by countless times, even as I was trying to wave them down. read more

We're here on vacation. Looking for a place to eat and we decided to try La Poblana. Food is amazing. Service is superb. Everything came out hot, fresh and fast! I will definitely be coming back here read more

Okay Mexican food. As someone from Texas, my bar is very high for Mexican food. The salsa was good. The chips were a little stale. I ordered the chicken fajitas, and the meat was good. I didn't really like the rice and beans. I wish the fajitas were served with shredded cheese. Not a bad place to eat, but it isn't life changing or anything. read more

I was a little worried about the look of the place outside, but inside of the restaurant was nice and the service personal were quick and attentive. We came here verses the other Mexican restaurants in the area because of the great reviews and we're glad we did. The food was out quickly, and tasted great. I had the Guacamole Salad, Metcahete dinner with chicken,steak, Mexican chorizo, refined beans, Spanish rice and two torillas and my husband had the shrimp,scallops and imitation crab meat frijita which came with two torillas and he added a guacamole salad. Everything was excellent! We were full and happy. Don't miss the opportunity if you are in the area to have a great Mexican meal here. read more

Great service and atmosphere, but not quite so with the food. We had the combo which includes rice, bean burrito, and spinach quesidilla. The rice was very good, the beans in the burrito were more watery than I would like, but still tasted ok. But the spinach tasted like moss scraped off a rock in one of the nearby creeks. The best part of our dinner was the chips and salsa. read more

Customer service is great! Food is hot and delish! Lots of chips, salsa! The fajitas were large and shareable. Check out at counter. Best piña colada. We yelped it traveling through and glad we stopped! Looks like locals love it! read more

We were starving after the local train trip today and La Poblana had better ratings than the closer place so we went there. We were seated right away and the interior was decorated, plus there's deck seating out front too. I had the veggie fajitas and they ticked all the boxes, with enough left for another meal. Prices were reasonable and hubs enjoyed his mixed fajitas as well. The salsa was a little spicy but pretty on point. read more

Great food from one of the only Mexican food options in the surrounding area. We ordered chicken fajitas (not on main menu) and a chicken salad, and both turned out pretty great with lots of food. Both dishes came with heaping portions of meat, and smaller amounts of veggies. The chicken salad was an interesting concept, with lots of chicken and avocado and less lettuce/spinach type ingredients. Place itself was relatively busy on a Monday night, but were able to make our takeout order in 10-15 min. Entire staff was Hispanic, and definitely felt an air of authenticity that is sometimes missing in cultural food. read more

Great find in Bryson. Tacos are authentic, food was delicious the chips are served fresh and warm.

It's a bit out of town on outer Main, but worth the trip! Such a large menu and hard to decide so not being too hungry we got the Super Taco and Shredded Pork Enchiladas, which could use some more sauce but the meat was tasty. Ample beer choices including an IPA on draft! The chips tasted old and the salsa lacked some spices. And why do we sit outside next to the highway with a view of traffic when the restaurant has the potential for "waterfront dining"? (It's on the Tuckaseegee) Anyhow - good food, good service and good prices. read more

WOW. You will not regret eating here. Everything was 5 star quality food. We live in South Fl and came here on a family vacation. This is the first place we stopped and what an amazing place. The service was superb, no more than 5 min goes by without one of the employees checking on us. The food was impeccable. The bowl dip, fajitas, enchiladas, quesadillas... we all loved our food and wish we had this near our home. We will definitely be back again before leaving Bryson City!
