What we liked: Big place with friendly staff, the homemade lentil soup was amazing and plentiful,…read morethe enchiladas were great, the chips are excellent and made in house. What I think could improve: No ground beef option for entrees, the "steak" option for meat on entrees wasn't really steak, more like micro beef pieces, but not ground beef either, the salsa isn't traditional red or green, it was kind of orange and tasty with great mild spice but with such great heavy chips, maybe a thicker salsa would be bettter

We live right down the road from this restaurant and have been eating there every month for a year…read more We spend about $350-$500/ month here. They've messed up every single take out order for the past 4 months. I'm not sure what happened. Last month I finally said something to them. I asked to speak with a manager. My daughter's boyfriend speaks Spanish. He's from Ecuador. He has placed the orders, he has talked to them about the continuing of very messed up orders. So this is not a language barrier thing. I don't know if they hate white people or what, but they always treat us like strangers and we always tip well and then our order is messed up EVERY SINGLE TIME! Without question. I went in weeks ago to have them remake one of our orders, and spoke to the manager, a young twenty something year old. He apologized snd wanted to get to bottom of this that night. I gave him my phone number and he said he would get right on it tonight and call me the next day. My response to him was, "I know the restaurant life and how busy you are, so if you could just get back to me over the next three days, I'd appreciate it". I called again two days ago and left a message for him to call me. No phone call still. I told him when I met with him two weeks ago that my family deserves a compensation for how many times we've had our orders screwed up, otherwise I will leave a very honest review. This is my follow thru six weeks later. This restaurant has good food, when they make it right. But in my honest opinion, it is clear these people hate white people. We will never order from them again.

My favorite was the tacos al pastor (it had pineapple--which is the only way it should be served!) and the salsa verde (spicy, but not too spicy for me personally). They also had aguas frescas, but I didn't try any. Prices were more than fair IMO. We got 15 tacos, a tub of rice, a tub of beans, and 2 bags of pan Dulce for $60. It fed 5 people. Do yourself a favor and skip the big "Mexican" restaurants and come here instead. Can't wait to return!

Superb tacos! This…read moreplace is in a gas station so it's definitely nothing fancy and just a few tables and a small high-top bar. The people working there were very nice as I decided what to order and I decided to try 4 different tacos: Carnitas, fish, carne asada and barbacoa. The portions of meat were great and the tortillas were super thin which was fantastic, you definitely get a great serving for the price! The fish taco was good! Chopped up and seemingly pan-fried fish (tasted like tilapia). Fantastic with the hot sauce and lime. The carne asada was nice small chunks of beef and the barbacoa was seasoned nicely as well. The best I think were the carnitas, which had an excellent flavor, too! Honestly, though, they were all delicious. Their homemade salsas were great (I tried the two spiciest but I don't know what their names were.) and I loved the grilled onions and jalapeno they included with the tacos. Everything tasted super fresh and flavorful and I keep thinking about the next time I'll be back!

I beg you: come hungry! You're going to want to try everything!…read more I was on my way back to Tampa from Sarasota and decided to stop in. This standalone restaurant is on a busy road, but has plenty of parking and a little lake next to the lot. It's big but cozy, with a fun decor-lots of booths and tables in two different rooms plus a bar to belly up to. My server was sweet and attentive-but didn't hover. She had perfect timing. The complimentary chips were warm and the salsa had just a little kick to it-good combo. I had to order the white queso dip... I mean, who am I if I don't try the queso? It was silky and comforting. I ate every drop. By this time I was full-but I wanted to try more things. I ended up going with the build your own: one taco (really tasty! Simple but oh so good!), one chile relleno (generous serving-lots of meat and cheese/less pepper) and one chicken enchilada Suiza (I think it was dark chicken-but check me on that). This is a lot of food-and you also get two sides! I chose rice and black beans-which were both excellent. The lunch menu has great choices/prices and there's a happy hour from 3-7 (not sure if it applies to the weekend-should have checked-sorry!). The booth was comfy and it wasn't loud in there (except for the folks next to me-who I now know wayyyyy too much about!) I think the ac was out when I was there-or on its last legs. But that's fixable. I'll definitely go back again. I had the house margaritas this time (good! Perfect sweetness levels-lightly strong, if that makes sense) and want to try others on the list. Clean-casual-good service-big menu. Thanks, Poblanos! See you soon!

A side of warm, salty tortilla chips further enhanced the experience. It actually tasted like food from old Mexico. And that's a good thing! Clearly way above the dribble served served at the local chain Mexican restaurants. My rating, as always, is based solely on my comparison of this establishment versus other Mexican eateries in the area. It's a food truck so there is no real atmosphere or ambiance to speak of. The truck was clean and the owner/chef was friendly and engaging. The menu is limited. If you see the truck...try it...you'll like it!

Then, there was a tap on my window and I looked over to see a kind man grinning at me. Normally, I do not open house or car doors for just any smiling man. But, this man could not hurt a fly and was nice enough to escort me under his umbrella to the overhang of his taco truck to order my lunch. I told the staff that I want tacos, but I only have $6.50 (cash only), they nodded and a woman proceeded to cook up some food. It became: 2 fajita tacos on corn tortillas $1.75 each 2 chicken tacos on corn tortillas $1.50 each Both served with the usual chopped raw onion and cilantro. These did not come with a side of lime, and the green chili sauce was most interesting... The Tacos el Indio truck has by the far the most unique and homemade tasting tacos and chili sauce that I have had so far. I watched as the woman lightly dipped each of the corn shells into melted lard and placed all ingredients onto a large iron griddle. This gave the shells a delicious char of black and brown spots and toasty/nutty taste. The chicken was all white meat that was shredded like rotisserie chicken style. The cook seared the shredded meat on the griddle and sprinkled lemon pepper on it. It actually still tasted like a taco with the toppings and the chili sauce, but just a little more interesting. The fajita beef was cut into long thin strips (about 4 inches) and seared just like the chicken on the griddle. The meat was tough and somewhat buttery, like cheaper cuts of beef can taste. I will usually use a marinade to prevent this sort of taste. The green chili sauce was runny, but the ingredients were pureed into a smooth liquid that consisted of: green chili, avocado, lime, cilantro, salt, and beer. I actually think that the main ingredient was beer. It was delicious! But, since it was so runny, I had some trouble keeping it on the taco. Now I am at work, hoping that my breath does not wreak of beer from the sauce. After I received my food, to take back to work to eat, the man was nice enough again to escort me back to my car with the umbrella in hand. I told him that I will see him again soon, and I will, but hopefully in nicer weather and with people accompanying me. They have a large list of other items; tortas, sopas, burritos, menudo. There were no prices posted and I would have loved to sneak a photo of the menu. I did not see any bottles sodas for sale, but it does say that they have aguas frescas on the menu, and lists horchata as one of them. It is really hard to get photos of the trucks, because everyone is so paranoid. It is only two buildings North of Taqueria Mi Rancho, but they are still the busiest I have seen. They are in the parking lot of "Vessels Into Honour" ministries. There is a listing for a Tacos el Indio at another address on Yelp, but I cannot locate a business of that name under the address that is on the listing.
