I beg you: come hungry! You're going to want to try everything! 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! read more

Food was ok. Service was great! We ordered tacos and tamales. The food did seem to be reheated which dried out the tamales. The ground beef tacos also didn't seem to have much flavor. The salsa was fresh. read more

Update: We went back what, a few weeks later? We both had the same thing as last time and sat at the bar. Daniel was our bartender and the service was perfect as was our lunch. So glad we went back. read more

We had a good experience here. Prices were reasonable. My quesadilla looked more like a Mexican pizza but it was good. Wife got the fajitas and looked amazing. This maybe our favorite Mexican food place in Bradenton. We shall return. See our YouTube channel Coolest Life. read more

Dinner with a friend and had a good experience overall. This is more of a standard American-style Mexican spot rather than an authentic one, but the food was enjoyable and did what it needed to be done. Everything came out fast with very little wait, which was a plus, especially since the place started getting busy while we were eating. The restaurant itself was very clean and had plenty of seating. While Bradenton has a lot of more authentic Mexican options, this is still a reliable choice if you want something familiar and easy. I'd come back again depending on the mood. read more

While in this area, Yelp recommended Poblanos to me. The establishment had a pleasant atmosphere, and the younger servers were notably efficient. I began with an order of guacamole and chips, which, not tableside but a side order was an ideal starter. This was followed by a fresh taco salad served in a flavorful flour tortilla shell. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would certainly recommend this restaurant. read more

We wont be going back. The food and drinks are good but they bring you a small grab bowl not quite 2/3 way full of salsa and chips. They do not bring you any salsa with whatever meal you get and if you need more salsa to go with your meal they charge you 75 cents per bowl. Total ripoff. You spend close to $20 for a meal and they wont give you salsa to go with it. We wont be going back. There are too many Mexican restaurants that are just as good that dont try to nickel and dime you to death. Bad policy read more

Queso dip is watered down. Enchiladas were like mush. Loud waitress . Not a great experience and I used to like this place.

I had driven past this restaurant many times, and I finally decided to try it. And I am glad I did! Pros: -Free chips and salsa IMMEDIATELY when you sit down -A 3-choice combination platter (with sides) only costs $16 -They have happy hour every day from 3-7pm. My house margarita on a Sunday was only $5! -They were accommodating with my dietary needs. -The horchata (which is HUGE) is very authentic-tasting and is also included in happy hour -The portion sizes are very good, and you can easily have leftovers. Cons: -You have to pay for extra chips and salsa. -The side of seasonal vegetables is FOUR pieces: one piece of zucchini, one piece of yellow squash, and two pieced of bell pepper. The pros clearly outweigh the cons. I will definitely be back! The Yelp reviews are not as good here, but the Google reviews are better! read more

Food and 1800 Margarita were top notch h and Erica was a great server. Prompt and friendly. Highly recommended.

Our go-to Mexican spot. Authentic, quick, innovative menu items and always great service. They have free chips and salsa with free chips refills! So you know it's good food when they do that, haha. If you ask for their hottest salsa, it's actually really spicy and delicious. We usually mix it with their mild one to give it a little kick. Had quesabirria tacos this time and they were good but a bit greasy for me so I wouldn't get them again but glad I tried them. Horchata is always on point and take the rest home because it comes in a huge mug and I can't finish it all in one sitting. We enjoy the molcajete, amigo bowl, bean & cheese burrito with cheese sauce, hard tacos, and margaritas. HAPPY HOUR: Daily 3-7p. Margaritas, house wine, sangria and well liquors for $5, excluding Taco night TACO NIGHT: Tuesday, Only the hard shell beef and bean taco for $1.50 and house margarita $3.75, 4p to close read more

Delicious food; excellent service; fresh margaritas! Service is quick, too!! This restaurant has plenty of parking and is family friendly. There is a bar with a few TV's to watch your favorite spot team while dining!! read more

Poblano's is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. The Mexican tiles throughout the restaurant are lovely as is the Mexican wall decor. There is plenty of indoor seating, tables, booths and bar seating making it perfect for intimate dining or for groups. There is also outside patio dining with beautiful plantings, a waterfall for ambience, fans for the summertime and patio heaters for the winter. Our dishes are always served quickly, hot and fresh with beautiful presentation. The chips and salsa are the best in the area and their tableside guacamole is freshly made to order perfection every time. The staff are very nice greeting you and the servers are always very nice as well. One of our favorites is Yossi! read more

always the BEST FOOD AND SERVICE great prices clean all around and free chips and salas

We've been coming to Poblanos for several years. Initially we were big fans. After they updated the inside we were even more excited. Unfortunately the last two times have been a bitter disappointment. On Sunday November 16th we invited a good friend to join us. I ordered QUESO Dip for the table. It never showed up & it appeared on the bill. My wife & I ordered Quesadillas with two sides for our entree. When the plates arrived the portion size of the quesadilla was like ordering a kids meal. Basically our waitress was a spoiled BITCH who liked rolling her eyes. Hence, we are not coming back. Other places to try. read more

The place was clean & nicely decorated. The hostess was surely. Our server Anita was a bit cold at first but warmed up & became friendly. We loved the Guac This Way We had classic & a combo, it was all fresh, hot, and tasted good. The salsa wasn't much and I didn't like that I had to pay for hot salsa. Overall a good experience & we'd go there again. read more

Solid food. Decent Margaritas. 5.00 daily. 3.75 on Tuesday for Taco Tuesdays. Had the Barbacoa Tacos.authentic with red onion and cilantro with lime. Fresh ingredients, including the on the spot guacamole, which was really fresh and really was fantastic. Chips and salsa were served with every meal. Chips are warm. Sauce is real good although it is a little on the thin side. No complaints here. I'd go back no questions asked asked. read more

Poblano's is our only choice for Mexican food (Tex-Mex, if we're being honest) in the Palmetto/Bradenton area. Service and food are always consistently above average, and we never regret splurging for one of their huge margaritas! The "Pollo Picoso" entree is hands down my favorite- I order it every time (which is saying something for a foodie). read more

Great food, friendly staff, upbeat bar area. Hit the spot!!!! Strongly recommend!!! Continently located off the interstate.

If you don't mind waiting because they're literally ALWAYS busy this is our second favorite place to eat Mexican out of all Sarasota , LWR and Bradenton. Great date night place , great table side guac and the meals are huge portions. Their Mexican sticky rice is the best in town. Service and ambiance are right up to par. read more

What an adorable restaurant! Very well staffed and the team worked hard to please the guests. We chose the pick two entrees. We had a beef burrito.. small but excellent! With the burrito a tostado, black beans and Mexican rice. All great. The other entree was fish tacos. Very nice representation. The food was all excellent and we like the different types of hot sauce they offered. The booth we sat in was so cute with paint flowers on the walls. We felt very at home here and will definitely return! read more

Ate there for lunch today fore the first time food was excellent as well as service and ambiance.

My husband and I have been here often and have never walked away disappointed. Last night was simply amazing. The margaritas were delicious, the fajitas were exceptional. If you get an opportunity to order them add a side of grilled pineapple. Absolutely amazing! Not to mention the service was awesome. Love this place! read more

Ordered take out from the menu on the web site. The prices listed must have been from 20 years ago. Ordered 3 things and the bill was almost $60. Very unfair. Almost like a bait and switch read more

Food ok-good, service ok, clean yet not bright inside. We will try other Mexican restaurants before deciding if we would return. On the plus side it is better than Taco Bell. read more

One of our usual go to spots. They have a wide variety of Tex Mex dishes with everything from the bland palate to the more adventurous including a children's menu for the very picky if needed. I don't usually order drinks here so I can't comment on that. Always clean, recently remodeled with cute decor, IG worthy. Bathrooms could use some minor repairs. Servers and hostess are mostly friendly or neutral. Have never been treated poorly here or needed a manager for anything and have eaten here dozens of times. read more

Very great service and the food was delicious! Amigo bowl and carne asada tacos were excellent

Best part of dinner was our friends. Service was super slow. Wait staff were standing around talking with each other. A member of our party actually got up and interrupted the staff and asked if we could get service. Another time to ask for water. My meal was tough. Chicken quesadilla had lots of grizzle to cut thru. My husband dinner said the ground beef enchilada was good. Other enchiladas were just okay. We've been here before the same as our friends. They said it was better when they had a different server. We both have had gastrointestinal issues since dining here. Not worth the taco Tuesday specials. Won't be back. read more

This is another one and done. We had high hopes and had been wanting to visit for a while but we have found another Mexican restaurant that we do really like but just wanted to change it up and see if we were missing something. That answered is a definitive NOPE! We were quickly seated and served chips and salsa with the waitress coming over in a few seconds later advising us it was happy hour so we ordered our mango margaritas. Not sure what tequila used but the drink had a smoky taste. It was fine for the price $6. Next we ordered the pollo Picasso as it was a special. Not sure why since it was the same price as the menu but it sounds tasty along with two ground beef burritos. Food did come promptly and hot but that was the end of the good expectations. The two burritos looked great but lacked taste. No seasoning used on the beef. This was puzzling since what is the point of no seasoning. This is a Mexican restaurant and it is expected to have flavor. I honestly think that most Mexican restaurants are afraid if they use spices that it would be too much for most people's pallet. This is soooo disappointing. Next the Picasso or Fiasco as it only had a few pieces of chicken covered is onions with a watery cheese sauce. This could have been due to the onions cooking out but again no flavor. Overall this was such a disappointment. This will be a one and done since we do have a place that is pretty good that we do go to. read more

I came here for mole and the reviews were very favorable. I had the Mole Poblano. It was good with a little kick but not great.

My wife ordered to go and got home with one of my daughter's meals prepared wrong.

Love Poblano's!!!!! Their food always satisfies. And the horchata is to die for!!! The staff is always friendly & helpful.

The restaurant was packed, but we got seated pretty quickly. The jalapeño margaritas were great! Definitely worth checking out!

The service is always quick and accurate. There is plenty of seating, however at times you may experience a short wait as it does get very busy. The restaurant has always been clean when we have went. The food has always met or exceeded our expectations. read more
