Was zipping by on Moorpark Rd and we needed a bite. Had my posse with me and pulled in with all the wagons. Ok, the parking lot is a bit small. Park somewhere-you won't be sorry. The eight of us walk through the door and the gal behind the counter immediately came out onto the floor, greeted us with a smile and sunny salutation and began putting tables together for us. We ordered and then sat down. Now the inside is small like the parking lot-sit somewhere or eat somewhere else-you won't be sorry. The chica with the sunny smile brought out our food-everything smelled so good. Breakfast burrito with chorizo was delicious. The same burrito with steak-yes that is one of the choices, outstanding. Two of our younger members had taquitos-they were good too! No one was sorry! Not even close...We were all grateful and extremely happy with a "new" place (that has been there...)that we found. La Poblana is on most of our regular routes and I plan on stopping there for some really good food soon. Try it-you won't be sorry! You will be happy!!! read more

Located in an easily to miss mini shopping center on Moorpark Blvd right beside 7-11 and across from AAA and past Jack n the Box is a treasure called La Poblana. Now u can find it!!! Since I am constantly in search of excellent fried fish i have the Mojarra Frita. It is a Tilapia which thankfully is a fish with easy large bones to spot! My one desire is to see them use the fried Tilapia with a crunchy garlic topping which could elevate the fish to a 4.0 out of 5. Atmosphere is little worth mentioning. Service is very stoic. There are 4 ladies behind a small counter filling orders. No smiles all biz! A big plus is a salsa bar with excellent salsa. Grab at least 5 to spread on the fish. Sides: beans and rice not worth it. Fries actually above average. Make sure to ask for a lime. After La Plate best Mex in TO. read more

Food was so good. The tacos came with lemon slice, radish, cilantro, and cooked onions. Everything was delicious, especially the onions. Favorite meat has got to be the cabeza. There are chips at this restaurant - self serve. Water is also available, just got to ask for it when ordering. There's some small tables inside and some limited tables outside. Parking can be rough as there's limited spots, but there's some other parking close by. Overall, would definitely recommend. Service was great - they bring your food to you. read more

La Poblana Mexican Grill - 3 tacos - Birria (w/ cheese), cabeza, and carnitas. - Tacos Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

I ordered the chicken enchiladas con verde sauce and a taco plate with 3 tacos. Both came with rice and beans with queso on top. The enchiladas were okay, not shredded chicken but just chunks of chicken in the tortilla wrapping with sauce and cheese on top. Standard, not the best I've had in my honest opinion but edible enough to be somewhat satisfied. My fiancée really enjoyed the tacos in asada, pollo and pastor. They have good salsas and decent chips. I got jamaica in a medium cup and my total for everything came out to 39.22. Decent enchiladas, very good tacos. Not too disappointed with spending the money since I got to try it and well, I'll leave this review for anyone else thinking of trying it out as well. read more

Been here a few times. They do a great job love the fresh salsa bar. One time there were some ingredients missing on my burrito that already barely had anything since I don't eat meat & cheese. That was a bummer but still didn't waste much of it. I definitely love coming here (: read more

Pretty darn good and open late... had the lengua burrito and it was full of flavor. Service is super quick. They offer the option of homemade corn tortillas for the tacos.

We tried the chicken Huarache and it was bad. For 11 dollars not worth it. Just pieces of chicken and some iceberg lettuce om top. Very poor and no presentation. For sure not coming back. We love love the Huarache from the taco shop in ventura for less money. read more

I been ordering lunch from La Poblana atleast twice a week for last like 2 months and its definitely the real deal. The Asada Burrito is and they have good quality steak. But what always is a make or break for me is the hot sauces and La Poblana got it down there green sauce is really good butttt the habenro sauce is freaking delicious if your in the area this is a must try I highly recommend for sure read more

La Poblana Mexican Grill - Asada Burrito is delicious especially with their habenro sauce so good! - Tacos Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Nice little spot in Thousand Oaks. Got the breakfast burrito with steak and bacon and it hit the spot. Tortillas warmed and cooked properly (no microwave bs). Just the right amount of each ingredient in the burrito!! I tried 3 of their salsa's from the salsa bar and all three were very good. None of them watered down. Great flavors. Might favorite was their habanero salsa. Legit hot. I am good with heat, but this gave me the nice little forehead sweats from how spicy it was. Horchata was delicious! The guys behind the counter were nice and helpful with my order. All around great spot. I will be visiting this place often. read more

Just randomly happen to find this place after we checked out something in the area. Solid late night taco place, pretty quick and the food was pretty good. Cleaniness wasn't good though, tables and chairs were dirty. And we had to clean it ourselves. The workers were busy I guess? But overall a generally decent place. read more

Just moved from the valley and was missing my old authentic taco spots. So glad I stumbled upon this place! Super fresh, tasty, & great salsas. Got the Asada burrito with guac but will be back to try other things. Thank you! read more

I love these tacos. Al Pastor and Carne Asada are both truly divine. The Habanero Salsa is unique (the bright Orange one in the salsa bar) that will melt your face and your worries right away. This place is popular and always has people coming through, and service is still quick and welcoming. It's a nice, happenin taco shop. I go for the Tacos but I had a Burrito once and it was one of the best burritos that I have ever had. I've brought folks here who have confirmed that the burrito is unrivaled. Enjoy La Poblana!! read more

La Poblana Mexican Grill - Tacos Al Pastor!! - Tacos Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

First time here and I'll be back. I think this may be my new spot for Mexican food. Hubby and I both orderrd a dry chicken burrito with whole beans, 2 shrimp tacos, 1 pastor taco, and a side of beans & rice for $38. Everything tasted great and I love that they added grilled onion on each taco. The salsa bar is well stocked and fresh. Chips are available for you to serve up. I'm excited to try all their tacos, breakfast burrito, and maybe a sandwich in the future. I'm so glad I finally tried this spot. read more

The food is fresh. Authentic. And tasty. That's the most important part about this restaurant. Great prices for the current economic climate. I'd recommend pastor tacos, the carne asada plate or the chicken mole enchiladas. With fried plantains for desert!!! Must try for everyone who loves Mexican food. read more

Now that they've been open for a few months, they're finding that they have to change things to keep being profitable. You used to be able to get an Horchata or another drink and then pay a dollar for a refill while eating inside the restaurant. They've done away with that. More importantly, when you order their shrimp tacos, you no longer get two tortillas having just one tortilla it falls apart in your hands. Also, they've done away with the cucumber slices and their sauce area. I guess we'll go back to ordering and eating from their truck that's over off of Thousand Oaks Blvd.. Finally the price is fluctuate a drink that says five dollars for a large Horchata rings up at $5.20. It's only $.20 but they need to keep their prices accurate or they're gonna end up getting cited by the city or the county. Because of this I've had to change my five star rating to a four star rating. read more

I have picked up food 2X from La Poblana Mexican Grill. It is fantastic! I was greeted from the time I walked into this small restaurant. The food is made in front of you so you can see it is fresh! The quality of the dishes were great! The first time I ordered the carne asada plate. I usually take two days to eat a plate like this, but instead I was famished and ate the whole thing. My husband was shocked! The visit I ordered tacos. They were great! Definitely will be coming back! read more

quick service, handmade tortillas are delicious, these are some of the best shrimp tacos i've ever had, unlimited chips, no fuss read more

Came on recommendation from a friend. Walked through the door, place is clean and was pretty busy for the time of night. At the counter I placed an order for a Carne Asada Quesadilla to-go. Service was fine, professional. I stepped outside because the dining room was pretty busy. My food was ready in under 10 minutes which was cool. I took it home down the street, and opening up the container, the quesadilla was thick and soggy with a big puddle of grease beneath it. I like a greasy quesadilla as much as the next guy but it was in excess. The meat was very chewy and gristly to the point I couldn't enjoy the meal without spitting out the connective tissue. Very low quality stuff. I couldn't even get through one piece before tossing it. Maybe I got the wrong item for my first time, I'll give them another try soon and see if anything's different. read more

The food is authentic and service is quick and the food is warm and full of deliciousness. Its rivals Oxnard and Ventura Mexican restaurants. Once you go, you are hooked and become a regular hands down read more

I come here very often usually I'll place my order over the phone I have tried most of the tacos which normally come with a side of grilled onions they have a bar of chips salsas lemon radish and cucumber that is a definite win for my tacos I've had the mulita, burrito, crunchy tacos, mojarra,caldo,torta comes with a side of fries,sopes and the only one I have a issue with has been the kids chicken fingers plate just cause it's basically a chicken cutlet and dry always. Other then that I love this place read more

The food here is amazing! We had a Door Dash delivery which included a carnitas and a pastor burrito (both wet with red sauce), & an order of carne asada nachos. All were delicious! The burritos are huge and the nachos were piled high with refried beans, carne asada, guacamole, pico de gallo, picked jalapenos & carrots. This restaurant is going to be our go to from now on. 5+ stars! Highly recommend!!! read more

~ SOLID GRAB AND GO SPOT FOR TACOS ~ A friend suggested La Poblana Mexican Grill for a late night snack, and I feel like that's just what it's perfect for... a grab and go to satisfy a craving. I would rate the experience overall as a 3.5. The vibe is relaxed, the inside is clean, and the staff are friendly. I love that they bring your to-go orders to your table instead of making you walk back to the counter. Now, onto the food. I tried the pastor and asada tacos. The pastor was pretty solid, with good flavor, tender meat, and nice grilled onions, but when I asked if there were pinapples in it, I was told no - just marinated in the juice. However, when I took a bite, I definitely got a chunk of pineapple that I was trying to avoid. The asada was alright--pretty average. The tacos are handmade but a bit small, and for $3.50 each, I expected a little more bang for my buck. I don't think I'll keep it in my regular taco rotation, but I'm curious to see how they improve as they settle in-- I'd recommend it as a spot to try if you're in the area. read more

My friend recommended this place and I think the experience overall depends on what you get and also likely might be even better if you eat it there vs to go. I'm still undecided if my meal changed a lot since I had it to go vs if I would have eaten it there fresh because my review for now is that this spot food wise is more a 3.5 but bumping up because the service was so lovely. This new casual Mexican dining spot is located in Thousand Oaks off Moorpark Rd. It was easy to find and while they only have like 6 parking spots I was able to get a spot in front no problem. The outside looked nice and when I walked in it was definitely inviting. The inside was clearly remodeled. Looked wonderful inside and very clean. They have some tables inside and like two outside, but for lunch it was nice that there were seats left as it did get busy. The staff here are lovely. The gal who took my order was super nice and friendly. Definitely service here rocks. She was very welcoming and took my order no problem. I also appreciate that vs calling my number to walk back up to the counter, one of the girls brought my to go bag to where I was sitting. Super nice. I'd definitely say friendless and service were easily 5 stars. Prices kind of depend on what you're getting. I felt $3.50 for the quality of tacos I got was a little too steep. They weren't super fabulous BUT when I think about the fact that I got two tacos, a massive burrito, and chips/salsa for $20 that doesn't seem bad either. I guess I just didn't love the tacos completely or some of the meats so that's where I'm torn. My pastor taco was a solid 4/5. However the carnitas and asada were mid. Didn't taste like good quality meat. The asada was dry and chewy. The carnitas were average - for me it's a preference thing, I like mine fatty but with a little crisp. These weren't that way, so I wouldn't say they were cooked wrong but not my style. The best bite was the pastor. Unfortunately my pastor was a little overcooked but the marinade was delicious, loved the grilled onions and small pineapple pieces. I'd come back for the pastor tacos and I'd eat them there so they are fresher. The rest of the proteins I wasn't in love with. A solid 3.5 quick Mexican spot in town but not up there in my top favorites. Maybe they need more time since they are new. At least I can say the interior was very nice for a casual place, you'd feel comfortable dining in and the service was super hospitable and on it. So that's a plus. read more

3 stars . Service was ok. I had 1 pastor , 1 asada . Tacos are ok not the best I've had that is why I rated them a 3 . Handmade tortillas but tacos are pretty small . From Oxnard ... so I can get a bigger taco for a cheaper price at my go to . A turnoff was seeing one of the workers with her phone as she was preparing tacos without washing her hands . Hygiene is a biggie, so a bit disappointed. Seems like a popular place . It was around 9pm when I stopped by with friends and it was not empty. read more

La Poblana Mexican Grill... The newest Mexican spot in Thousand Oaks, CA. It is also the second Mexican spot in town (at least that I'm aware of) that started as a Food Truck within the city limits and has grown to serving its customers in a brick & mortar store front. To that, I say Congratulations! Your perseverance and determination to grow your business model has paid off and I commend all of your efforts. Although I had never eaten at the former food truck, I was excited to try this place out when I saw it being advertised on an IG account that I follow which showcases new and upcoming businesses within the surrounding Conejo Valley. ------------------------- When it comes to Mexican food, I have very high standards. There is no hiding, no ducking and no faking Good, Quality tasting Mexican food. You either have it, or you don't. But sometimes, there is a little bit of wiggle room for the in-between (the gray area if you will). Let's come back to this in a bit. --------------------- Last month, after taking my daughter to her soccer practice, I decided to just pick up dinner. I remembered that La Poblana had recently opened so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to not have to cook and to try out the newest Mexican spot that I had seen advertised on Instagram. Upon walking in, I was graciously greeted and given the time to look over the menu. Me personally, I'm for sure a taco guy. My wife, she's hands down a burrito girl. That's ok, more tacos in the world for me ;) As for our kids... They are Team Taco!! Being that it was my first time, I went a little wild to really get a feel for the place. A couple of Pastor Tacos, 3 Asada Tacos, A chicken taco, a shrimp taco, Arroz y Frijoles (rice & beans), a carne asada burrito, & 2 Mexican cokes! And while I waited for the food to be prepared, I went to town at their self service salsa bar. Salsa Verde, Avocado salsa, pickled onions with habanero, jalapeño's, & limes... Ya, Like I said... I. Went. To. Town. =) Once the food was ready, I loaded it into the car and went straight home to get my tacos on! -----The Presentation----- Everything looked normal, appetizing and had all the regulars you'd expect along with a few bonuses. My tacos had... -onions (Check) -cilantro (Check) -limes (Check) -Sautéed Onion petals & sliced cucumber on the side??... Interesting! I did upgrade my shrimp taco to a homemade corn tortilla instead of their "store bought" corn tortillas that I kept on my other tacos... Honestly, I couldn't really tell the difference. -----Quality----- To be fair and perfectly honest, the tacos overall are very far from the worst tacos that I've ever had, but not close to being the best tacos that I've ever had either. (This is the gray area I mentioned earlier). Although not bad, something was just a miss in my humble opinion. At the end of the day... I take everything into consideration, weigh all of the facts and then determine a fair rating. Considering they are fairly new to the brick & mortar location, I definitely think there's some kinks that need to be worked out until they find their groove. -The use of handwritten signs at the register and the salsa bar... This is a no-go and not a great look. -The option of having homemade corn tortillas for .75 cents more versus non-homemade corn tortillas for no extra charge when you can't tell the difference... I say pick one or the other. My vote is to stick with store bought. -The higher priced "premium" items that don't really need to be that high priced (i.e. enchiladas for $16.95, shrimp quesadillas for $16.95 when the shrimp used are the small, basic, probably frozen kind... Chicken Enchiladas for $17 bucks??? Yikes! And tacos ranging from $3.50-3.75 to even $4.25-4.50 by upgrading to a handmade tortilla won't do well by your local based clientele, especially the Hispanic customers who know a tacos value & worth... These prices, individually are one thing, but everyone knows tacos are ordered at a minimum of 3, up to 4-6 on average per person. Do the math! That's not sustainable for your repeat local customers who again, know the value & worth of a good tasting taco. These are all clear signs which separate a well oiled machine of a restaurant to a brand new, out of the box start up restaurant/business model. Kinks can be fixed, kinks can be ironed out, and I hope for La Poblana sake, they do. I'll definitely give them a second shot, and I can only hope you give them your business as well. Best of Luck & Welcome to the neighborhood. read more

La Poblana Mexican Grill - Tacos Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Who would have known that Thousand Oaks has authentic Mexican cuisine. Tucked away in a corner on Moorpark road one will find this hole in the wall where dreams come true. This place has it all at reasonable prices. Menu includes tacos, burritos, mulitas, fajitas, soups, tamales and breakfast I scarfed down the carne asada burrito. On top of that, they didn't charge to add guacamole. Suck on that chipotle. Tortilla chips were free too. Come support this business you won't regret it!! read more

Been a handful of times now and every time the food has been great. The al pastor is a favorite. Also got chicken fajitas this last time and they made me fresh tortillas on the spot which was awesome. the parking is weird so hoping it make it because the food is great and the prices are more than fair. read more

This place is delicious! Friendly staff, great food and quick service. My husband and I have been twice and ordered the fajita plate both times, highly recommend! read more

I was charged for guacamole, no guacamole was put in my burrito, when I asked the lady who took my order why, she said "You never asked for guacamole." She asked me if I wanted any when taking my order however and I said yes. Moral of the situation, I didn't get what I paid extra for, and the lady who charged me for it wouldn't take accountability. read more

You know it's good when you see the local cops grabbing lunch. The Al Pastor is fantastic. Don't pass on the habanero salsa.

Love this place. Great tacos. Came back 3x. Considering to be out church catering. Very small place.

Amazing food and great atmosphere! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. The margaritas were perfect, and the tacos were some of the best I've ever had. Can't wait to come back read more

WOW! I don't know what I was expecting, but it definitely wasn't this! We just came out of a show and this was the only place open. Don't let the humble appearance deceive you, the food is FANTASTIC! read more

I originally went and tried La Poblana with a Conejo Deal. Ever since I've been hooked. I met the owner, who works his tail off, Armando. The food is by far the best Mexican food you will have anywhere. I'm not associated with this restaurant in any way, I'm just a huge fan of what they do and their flavors they create. This is not a bougie type of restaurant, just a good Mexican joint with fantastic food. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

I was looking for a place like this! Just drove by and spotted it. It took a bit to find parking. Small place with about 10 small tables. Ordered a Torta and my wife ordered a Tamale. Food came quickly to our table. The Torta was excellent. It came with a lot of hot fries. I had to split it with my wife. She enjoyed the tamale and said the Horchata had a great balanced taste. We'll be back! read more

Not bad. Pretty good. A little rough with the service. But overall good place to eat. read more
