the service was amazing and for my first time trying mexican food it was a 10/10 experience and ill definitely be going back

Great service, delicious food and table side fresh guac! Doesn't get any better than this!!! So yummy!

I was really excited to try Poblano's since it's right in our neighborhood, but unfortunately it was a big disappointment. Our family ordered a variety of dishes, so we got a good feel for the menu. My husband had the American tacos, I ordered the asada street tacos, and my daughter had the nachos. The biggest issue across all three meals was the lack of seasoning. The ground beef in both the tacos and nachos was bland, and the asada in my street tacos was dry and also lacked flavor. The street tacos were especially disappointing. The corn tortillas were dry, tasted stale, and definitely didn't seem fresh. They took away from the entire dish. The chips were fine, but the salsa tasted more like spaghetti sauce than authentic Mexican salsa. It just didn't have the fresh, vibrant flavor you'd expect. The one bright spot was the guacamole dip. It was creamy, flavorful, and easily the best thing we ordered. I really wanted this to become one of our neighborhood go-to spots, but sadly we didn't find the food authentic or flavorful. With better seasoning and fresher tortillas, the experience could have been completely different. read more

One of the best and most consistent Mexican food. They offer low carb and gluten free options. Margaritas are great. No better servers anywhere. read more

This is not Mexican food!!! This is terrible American/Mexican trash. The salsa looks and tastes like a can of S&W canned crushed tomatoes. The burrito was virtually inedible. The server didn't appear to be interested in our opinion either. She never asked why I only took one bite. I can't believe this place is still in business!!! Terrible!! read more

Yoshua is the best. He is our regular server and we love the food, drinks and atmosphere

We absolutely love this location and everything about it! Luis, Junior, Leah, etc are ALL excellent in their service. From the moment we come in, the service is friendly and efficient! The food portions/taste are great and the atmosphere is equally outstanding! The table side guacamole is to die for! A+++++ experience! read more

Ambiance was great. Service was excellent. Our server, Joshua, did an outstanding job The food was delicious. Margaritas were wonderful & very well priced. We will definitely be back! Very authentic Mexican food. Would HIGHLY recommend Poblanos on McMillan Booth Rd!!! read more

Great menu, good service, and fresh food (with large portion sizes). This place has it all! I often get the tacos and enchiladas, which seems to be their specialty. I have not been to their other locations (across the Tampa Bay Area) so I can't say how this one stacks up, but I appreciate the level of service, ambiance, and value. read more

My recent visit to Poblanos was a bit disappointing. While the restaurant appeared super authentic and wonderfully decorated, the service was very slow and frustrating. Our server was clearly new and wasn't able to correctly answer questions regarding certain menu items and happy hour items. On top of that, the timing of our server was completely off and we waited very long to get refills on food, drinks, and the check. The food itself was good as well as the drinks (red sangria was well mixed and delicious). I'm not confident I would return considering there are so many other Mexican options in the area. My advice would be for the manager to staff more members and do a better job at training everyone to better assist customers. read more

The food was okay, but as a Latino, I expected more authentic Mexican flavors. The cheese dip was very runny and lacked the rich, creamy consistency I was expecting. My margarita was mostly ice, with very little actual drink. On top of that, the restroom had a strong unpleasant odor, which took away from the overall experience. read more

Adreona was our server and she was so cheerful even though we came at closing time. Took excellent care of us. Highly recommend this restaurant. Plus it's got a clean well-lit atmosphere with fast and friendly service. read more

This is my go-to for a positive experience and a good meal! Everyone has had a different experience with Mexican Food and they usually base their experiences from that forward! I grew up in SoCal and I've had some great experiences there, but it's not always fair to compare that to this. With that said, I've ALWAYS had a great meal here. I've ALWAYS had great service, even when they're busy! I've NEVER had a request not gone fulfilled! From Margaritas to Tamales to Mole to Carnitas to Picante Salsa, ALWAYS top notch! I realize that their customer base usually likes things a little less spicy, BUT I don't! I enjoy it when I don't have to question my order, consistency is key! read more

Poblanos has great low-carb offerings. I opted for the low-carb chimichangas, which were packed with flavor and a satisfying crunch. The filling was delicious, featuring seasoned meat and toped with queso all wrapped in a light, low-carb tortilla. My husband ordered the California burrito, and he couldn't stop raving about it. Generously stuffed with a mix of meats, beans, and cheese, it was hearty and bursting with flavor. The service was attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I appreciated the thoughtful low-carb options. We'll definitely be back! read more

My friend and her family are regulars at this Mexican restaurant. I finally got to go with her for lunch. Wow!! I had 3 chicken enchiladas with mole sauce. This is the best mole sauce I've had since moving to Tampa bay!!!!! The enchiladas were freshly made and huge, the chicken was moist. My sides were black beans and rice. It is a large restaurant with a bar, booths, tables and patio seating (covered). The chairs are so comfy. Wait staff is attentive and friendly. The restroom is clean. There is ample parking out front. The are combos and all the dishes I saw were huge. Robin read more

I ordered the 2 enchiladas combo, one beef and the other cheese. My two sides were Refried beans and pinto beans. The cheese enchilada was great, but the beef enchilada was not so great. The seasoning was barely noticeable and there was nothing else in there. read more

Zero stars for the hostess stand and management. We arrived on a Friday night at 6:05 with 5 people from our party of 10, with a reservation. They refused to acknowledge us until the entire party was present. The rest of our party arrived at 6:19, and then we were told we were "on the list" and would be seated when a table opened up. Five out of ten in our party were young children. By 7:05, the kids were losing patience and we still hadn't been seated. When we asked the male host for an estimate, he said, "Maybe 25 more minutes--it's hard to tell how long it will take people to eat." We left at 7:30 after still not being seated and with no clear plan or communication. As someone who has worked as a hostess for over 10 years and in the restaurant industry for 30 years--from hostess to manager--this is unacceptable. They need someone who understands how to run a door and manage reservations and guest flow properly. read more

Holy, (where's the...) guacamole!!?? We attempted to visit this restaurant earlier in the week but there was a 20+ minute plus wait - and we don't wait, but being that we had never been here before, we considered this a sign that the food MUST be amazing. We returned a few days later during the middle of the day which was a lot less crowded. We opted to sit at the bar. It took awhile for us to be acknowledged even though they weren't busy (to be fair, for me, when I am craving a marg, a minute can feel like years...). We ordered 2 frozen margs and Abuela's Guacamole to start. The margs were your average frozen marg, nothing super special but not terrible - we ended up ordering 2. But the guac? After just a few chips, I realized....I hadn't had any actual guacamole. In my mind, I was accusing my wife of being a selfish glutton and maybe she had eaten all of the guacamole (avocado). As I am moving the mound of lettuce around in the bowl in search of the avocado, I am asking my wife what happened to all of it? She thought I ate all of it and only had one little corner of a chip's worth of avocado... Realizing that we literally had a bowl of shredded lettuce, I started laughing hysterically. I called the bartender over and showed her the bowl of lettuce. She tried to say that all we get is "2 scoops" of avocado. UM....the menu says one full avocado and for $8.69, we expected a lot more than just a chip's corner's worth...which wasn't even 2 scoops. She provide no apology or anything even after showing her the bowl of lettuce. She offered to take it away and I said under no circumstances as I had planned on eating my bowl of $8.69 lettuce. We decided to order the Guac this Way for $12.99 which was table side made guac. Remember...we were craving guac, so.....we were going to get it. Same bartender...pulls up with the cart and all the fixins'. At least this time, we got to see that it was 2 avocados. We asked for all the items (jalapeno, salt, pepper, garlic, tomato, etc.) We ended up with mashed up avocado that was overly seasoned with garlic with some chunks of tomato. I guess once we saw that she had mashed up 2 avocados, we stopped paying attention and didn't see that she didn't include anything else. We ordered food - which were good sizes but not really worth providing a review on, since after all - I am still recuperating from the bad avocado experience. To add salt to injury (but not the guac) - we were charged for the "Abuela's Guac". Seriously. It was a bowl of shredded lettuce. read more

First off, food 10/10 very nice inside. great spot next to my house. our server Nate was very funny and super nice. everything a 10/10 would recommend read more

The ambiance in the atmosphere here is really nice it's very casual. The food is good. They have plenty of options for you to choose from. The only downfall is I ordered hard tacos with lettuce and cheese, they failed to put lettuce on there and tell me they want to charge me so they can add lettuce which they were supposed to put on there in the first place. Doesn't seem very fair for the customer. read more

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. The food was delish and fresh. The waiter was fantastic and even bought out samples of a couple dishes for us to try. I would highly recommend this restaurant , if you're in the mood for good Mexican food. Next time, I want to try the table side guacamole. This will be our go to restaurant for some awesome Mexican food. Thanks!! read more

After church lunch with family. I was in the mood for Mexican and everyone agreed. Just around the corner from church and ample parking. We were seated right away. The first pleasant surprise was the chairs. These were heavy wooden chairs with padded seats and several had arms. It felt like sitting on a throne! Bring on the dragons!! My wife went for the Football, umm Burrito Grande with shredded beef. It was huge! My daughter ordered the Baja Salad with chicken in a taco shell bowl. Granddaughter got a Quesadilla and fries. My other daughter was just going to share, so I chose a combination of two Tostados, a Tamale and beans. Oh we also got Queso Blanco dip. I asked for, and received, hot Salsa. It was good but now I guess they charge $2 for it now. Fresh hot chips and Salsa with the Queso was great and refilled twice since the meals were a bit in coming. While waiting I walkedelicious around and took pics. One pic by the restrooms was the TACO Wall of Fame, with portrait pics and numbers like 20, 23, 30. I asked how many visits it took them and was told that's how many they ate in ONE sitting! 30! Wow. Food came, hot and delicious. But I ordered two Tostados and only one came, so Gabby went to get another. My wife praised the Burrito, which she shared about a third. Granddaughter like the Quesadilla but ate slowly, probably due to emptying 2 bowls of chips and dip! My daughter loved her Bowl and I made a mental note to try it next time. My Tamala was ok, I just prefer equal parts filling and mesa but this was more 2/3 mesa. My Tostado was very good. So loaded with things I had to eat it with a knife and fork. The second Tostado was crisp and shared. My other daughter was happy, she got to try it all. Great food, nice portions for the price and good service. The not to pleasant surprise was instead of being charged $15.19 for a 3 Combo, I was charged $13.89 for the 2 Combo plus $4.50 for an ala carte Tostado. I brought it to Gabby's attention and she got it corrected. If you like Tex Mex, this is for you. read more

Very average food, very much Americanized. Service was good... waiter was attentive. Had a happy hour Margarita... very inexpensive but also very little tequila, mostly just very sweet margarita mix (did not taste like it was hand mixed, more like the stuff you can get at Costco). But hey, it was cheap! $3.50, I think? Ordered Yolanda's enchiladas. Forgot to take a picture... but looked decent. Chicken was chicken, it was ok... sauce was not memorable, not much flavor... no heat at all. I started to ask for some hot sauce just to flavor it up a bit. Spanish rice was a little mushy, and tasted like rice with picante sauce added. It was ok... about what I expect from Americanized Mexican food restaurants. But I probably won't go back... there is much better, much closer. Average... as in OK... so three stars, and that is only due to the service. read more

There was nothing I disliked about this place, on the flip side there was nothing special about this place either. The salsa and chips was just ok nothing special, the margaritas tasted like it was from a bottle mix. I ordered a couple things not on the menu to try. First I wanted the Verda sauce to dip my chips in. It was just ok. Next I was in the mood for civiche (sp?, shrimp in lime with pico de Gallo) it was also good but nothing special. Service was slow but I sat at the bar so that may have something to do with that. The place was as a Mexican restaurant is supposed to look with lots of colors and the feel of authentic Mexican cuisine. Worth a visit but I probably won't be back. read more

We stopped by for lunch and decided to try some different dishes from the menu. We ordered the Combinaciones with a Enchiladas Suizas, a Chicken Tostada and a Beef Taco. The second dish we ordered was the Carnitas Verdes. The best thing on the combination platter was the taco...I was pleasantly surprised. The star of the lunch though was the Carnitas. It was a huge portion of tender sautéed pork nuggets in an interestingly spicy sauce. The dish had a great flavor of both green chilies and citrus. The service was speedy and friendly. read more

Quality Tex-Mex with a chance to sit down and enjoy your food. Sadly we didn't get the chance to dine in and got take out, but the food was delicious. The wait for service for take out was short and the food was delivered quickly and hot. We liked the food a great deal, but wished we had the chance to add hot sauce or other additions to the standard dish when we were eating take out in a hotel. Worth a visit! read more

My experience was the worst ever!!! Wrong food orders, no service, everything was wrong from start to finish when my friend asked for a bee and it never arrived. It was not even busy 3 tables when we walked in and sat down. Chipped dishes, and a guacamole dish with only 2 legs. I got burnt fajitas. What a joke! I wish I could give a negative 5 rating! read more

Food is usually OK, but had the worst burritos tonight. Both my daughter had $17 steak burritos that were nothing but rice in a tortilla covered in green sauce. The waiter said sorry. We won't be going back read more

I'm giving Poblanos three stars because I was neither impressed nor dissatisfied with my experience. The overall cleanliness, seating availability, decor and service was what I most enjoyed about Poblanos. The food was good, but wasn't the best. We arrived with a party of 5 for dinner and no reservation. Indoor and outdoor seating was available. Complimentary chips and salsa were provided. The chips and salsa were actually very good! I don't typically like salsa served at restaurants but this one was excellent. The menu was definitely more Americanized with items such as bacon and shrimp tacos. While everything may have sounded good, I don't think this is the authentic Mexican cuisine I was anticipating. There were several vegetarian options available. I went with the roasted cauliflower tacos. The cauliflower could have been a little crispier in my opinion and the roasted vegetables and rice on the side were somewhat bland. I added salt and pepper to taste but it didn't make much of a difference. As I stated in the beginning, there were many pros about Poblanos. I just didn't enjoy the food as much as I thought I would. I do believe this establishment has the potential to bring authentic appetizing meals to the table and make their food a little more flavorful. read more

We're regulars. Great service, awesome Mexican food, decent prices. The pollo picoso is a delight. Fantastic house margaritas.

I have been coming here for years. I see many of the same bartenders and servers which makes it comfortable. We have a lot of great choices when it comes to Mexican food. 9 out of 10 times poblanos is where I go. Sangria and Margaritas are signature and great to have while sitting outside or at the bar. Chips and salsa are complimentary at the bar. Try this place. read more

It was my firsf time here. I was craving Mexican food and this was the closet to where we were passing by. I was pleasantly surprised. Big, spacious dining area. Free chips and salsa. We ordered the steak burrito supreme and shredded chicken chimichonga. Portion were generous. I would pass on the chimichonga: it just tasted like meat wrapped around fried tortilla. The buritto was good though! Steak was juicy and flavorful. TIP: don't order side of queso or guac. When you order your entree like the burrito, it will come with queso or guac. So use that to dip your chips. TIP: Happy Hour daily from 3-7 PM that only includes margarita (on the rocks or frozen) for $3. read more
