Legit Mexican Food!
We were out and about the other day and had an urge for some tacos or similar. I did a little internet search and found La Poblanita. Reviews sounded good so we gave it a try. This place is great! It's located in a strip mall. You enter into a large room with many tables and chairs. To the right is a massive cooler filled with all sorts of beers, waters, sodas, etc. and you serve yourself. Bottle openers are on the tables. To the front left is a cashier stand. On the back wall is a series of menu boards showing what is available and prices. A server brought out a basket of tortilla chips and a trifecta of salsas. The darker orange salsa surely had chipotle peppers in it as it had a wonderful smokiness to it and not to spicy. The other two had some serious heat, too much for us. I ordered a small/regular size Michelada ($5.99) and my wife pulled a bottle of water (99 cents) from the cooler. Most of the patrons were drinking the Micheladas, many with the super sizers - maybe a liter. My Michelada came out with a nice jumbo shrimp and cucumber slice garnish and the rim had been dipped in tahin. What a surprise to see the shrimp! We both ordered burritos - my wife chose al pastor (pork) and I opted for steak ($14.99 ea.). Out came some serious burritos accompanied with a small, undressed salad of crisp lettuce, tomato and cucumber. The burritos are LOADED with meat, and just the right amount of rice, cheese, cilantro and onion. My steak was extremely tender, not chopped up into super small pieces as is typical. And the flavor was some of the best steak I've ever had. Likewise, my wife's al pastor was the best she had ever had. We could only eat half and brought the other half home for lunch the next day. Everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. In one visit we became fans and will go back soon. read more
