I recently visited this location after a concert this weekend. It was busy, but the line was moving smoothly. They have indoor dining. It was a full house. They have their own parking lot but although it was busy, I was able to find parking quickly. I believe we waited less than 15 minutes for our food. We took it to go. They have a salsa bar for self-serving with veggies. Their red salsa is fire. If you like spicy, you will love this roasted salsa! We ordered tacos, vampiro and a mulita - all asada. The meat is so flavorful and tender. They make their own tortillas in house. So good but definitely filling. They are generous with their meat and's guacamole which I like. They make their food Tijuana style, which is what they are known for. I've been to the bellflower location and they are consistent with flavor but definitely make their g read more

This place is always PACKED so I decided to give it a try. I wish I would have read the reviews before going. The first issue was the parking. The parking lot is not big enough to support the demand. Me and multiple people had to sit and wait around to get a parking spot. The second issue is the wait to order. It took more than 30 minutes to order food (order ahead). The third issue is the wait to get the food. It took more than 30 minutes. The last and final issue is... There is absolutely no taste to the meat. I got al pastor and it tastes like nothing. Literally. I've never had a burrito that didn't taste like anything. I came here to read the reviews and sure enough.. same issues. I would go somewhere else until they work things out. read more

We found Taqueria Los Poblanos through Instagram, and unfortunately the posts were very deceiving. I ordered three asada tacos, and they were incredibly bland. It was honestly disappointing that I had to add salt just to get some flavor. Tacos should be well-seasoned, especially the meat, but these had virtually no taste. Now I understand why they have a salt shaker on the table. My wife ordered a burrito, and my son ordered one as well. To make matters worse, they gave out the wrong burritos. My son was given a chicken burrito instead of what he ordered, and my wife received a steak burrito. We did not accidentally grab the wrong food, they gave us the wrong order. Even after getting the correct food, the flavor still wasn't there. My wife had to add salt to her burrito because it was just as bland as my tacos. We were really looking forward to trying this place based on the social media hype, but it didn't live up to the expectations at all. Between the incorrect order and the lack of flavor, it was a disappointing experience. Sadly, we won't be coming back. read more

Taqueria El Poblano - Three bland tacos - Mexican Near Me - Anaheim, California

First off - I ordered through door dash. This may be why I was so displeased but never less, let me continue. I ordered a quesa-torta, and two burritos. The quesatorta was bleh. It's described as a grilled cheese sandwich with your choice of meat. Usually quesa-tacos have cheese on both side and meat in the center so I kind of expected the torta fort at be same and was disappointed to know it has cheese on side and meat stuffed inside. We ordered birria and The meat tasted 'dirty' like it had an unpleasant aftertaste (like minerals from tap water). Def won't order again and don't recommend their birria at all. Also, the gotta came whole and not cut in half which old be helpful. Burrito - asada with rice and cheese. Asada was tasty. My son enjoyed his plain burrito. Burrito - Al Pastor Firstly the burrito was not wrapped property so it fell apart. Secondly, the beans overpowered the burrito and DoorDash doesn't allow you to ask for easy rice and beans. And lastly, the cheese was all clumped on one side which was actually really unappetizing. The Al pastor was tasty. So I do recommend that meat. I was really looking forward to this as my bf just recently went and his experience was actually good. Needless to say. i was extremely disappointed and won't likely be back. read more

Service wasn't as slow as others mentioned. The place was full but the wait time for our order was not long at all . Restrooms & tables were spotless . I will agree with most others though on seasoning . The management at this location needs to test the food several times a day to ensure consistency.... The guacamole & carne asada definitely didn't hit right because there wasn't hardly enough salt when prepared. Adding at the table is fine but we all know you want to start eating when we get our plate , not desperately needing to salt it before taking a bite . Green salsa is pretty mild but the red has a kick read more

Taqueria El Poblano is something special. I've lived in Southern California my entire life and have been to countless taco spots, but there are ZERO like this place! Be prepared--the place gets busy and the line can be long, but it is absolutely worth the wait. Get there before 5 PM and you'll usually be in good shape. They have a great system and do an impressive job getting food out quickly and in order, even when they're packed. I've had quesabirria tacos all over Orange County, and these are straight fire--not spicy fire, but packed with incredible flavor. The homemade tortillas make all the difference. The birria tacos are lightly fried with their red sauce and are unbelievably delicious. They come with consommé (Mexican beef broth) for dipping, and wow... game changer. I also tried the regular carne asada tacos with guacamole, onion, and cilantro. The meat has this amazing smoky beef flavor that really stands out. And as a Mexican rice snob, I have to say their rice is excellent--light, fluffy, and full of flavor. If you decide to dine in, you might have to wait for a table. This place is definitely the hot spot in Anaheim right now, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. The staff and servers are all super friendly, just be patient. Quicker doesn't always mean better! I'll definitely be back. read more

This feels like a very authentic taco shop, and it definitely must be a hidden gem because it was packed on a Wednesday night. I was craving tacos, and made all of my friends go here, and we really all enjoyed it. I got the tostada with al pastor, and two regular al pastor tacos with everything on it. One of my favorite things about this spot is that their tacos come with guac! The tacos were pretty filling for its size, and I loved the crunch on the tostada. There's a lot of seats, limited parking, and yet it fills up super quick. If it's your first time (like us), you order at the counter, and they call out your number for you to pick it up. Pro tip: they also have a salsa bar to grab various levels of salsa and limes! read more

It was my first time here, and I came with my cousin. Unfortunately, we were both really disappointed with our experience. We ordered a variety of tacos. I got two asada and two pastor tacos, while my cousin ordered two pastor, one asada, and one birria taco. The tacos lacked flavor overall, especially considering they're advertised as Tijuana-style tacos. The pastor was also extremely greasy, which made it difficult to enjoy. We also tried the horchata, which is advertised as being homemade. Unfortunately, it didn't taste authentic, and even the color seemed off compared to traditional horchata. The cleanliness of the restaurant could definitely be improved. Most of the tables were dirty, and there was quite a bit of trash on the floor, including napkins and utensils. On top of that, the customer service wasn't very welcoming, which added to our disappointment. Overall, our experience was not the best, and unfortunately, we wouldn't return. read more

I've been coming to Taqueria El Poblano since before their original location burned down, and the food has always been outstanding. The flavors, quality, and consistency keep me coming back year after year. If you're ordering through DoorDash or another delivery service, remember that delivery issues aren't the restaurant's fault. Review the food, not the delivery experience. And if parking in front is full, there's parking across the street--it's a small inconvenience for food that's absolutely worth it. This place deserves 10 stars, but Yelp only lets me give 5. Highly recommended! Try something different every time! read more

we've been meaning to try this spot since it opened up, and we finally got to go on Taco Tuesday around 7:30pm! parking lot is kinda small here and we had to circle 2 times, but we got lucky and were able to snag a spot. the line was slightly out the door, but it moved quickly and we waiting about 10 min to order. we ordered 4 asada & 4 al pastor tacos, each one like ~$2.27 for taco tuesday i believe - which was GREAT! and each taco comes with salsa, guac, onion, and cilantro! i also couldn't help but add a 6oz serving of rice and beans for ~$1.61 each, which i thought was a steal lol. plenty of indoor seating, and it's kept nice and clean! we were able to sit right away. there's a little salsa bar w/ 3 salsas (all pretty spicy imo but yum!), limes, & radishes, too. we waited ~20 min for our food, which to us wasn't too bad on a peak busy day. - al pastor: so flavorful and tender! was a bit oily, but honestly that didn't bother me too much bc i loved the flavor. was a bit heavy tho - carne asada: LOVE!! i loved the beef flavor, not heavy in my stomach, and it paired really nicely with the green salsa! all in all we're very happy to have finally tried this spot, and we will definitely be back for another taco tuesday and to try the birria tacos bc they looked AMAZING! read more

I visited this taqueria for the first time today after seeing it on Instagram. I ordered three tacos (asada, al pastor, and labio) and was disappointed -- the tacos were pretty flavorless and lacked seasoning. The guacamole looked like it came from a bag: watery and tasteless. The dining room didn't help the experience -- it was dirty and the trash cans were overflowing. Hope they improve the food and cleanliness, because the location and menu looked promising. read more

Hidden gem tucked among the Anaheim tile row (I may or may not have made that name up). We showed up a bit before the evening rush, so we still got a spot in their lot. There's a large indoor seating area plus a few tables outside. You order through one of two cashiers on the left. We stuck to tacos, though they also do tortas, vampiros, mulitas, and more. The tortillas are handmade and the guacamole is as fresh as it gets. We got asada, al pastor, birria, and labio. The asada was well seasoned with a nice char-grilled smokiness. The al pastor seemed to be missing pineapple, but it was still well seasoned without being overwhelming like some other spots. I personally found the birria a bit dry, though my wife liked it, so I'll try it with consomé next time. The labio, though, was cooked to perfection and melts in your mouth. I've never been big on those "odd ball" cuts, but I'll definitely be back for more labio tacos. The salsa bar is small, practically a side cart. The red salsa tastes mostly arbol, maybe with some guajillo and vinegar; really good and spicy. The salsa cruda (with visible diced veggies, not pico) is also spicy and flavorful. The green salsa was nothing special. Overall, prices are fair and you skip the long lines other hyped spots have. If you're on State College and don't want to wait, this is a solid choice, a great addition to the Platinum Triangle development. PS - this is all based on a takeout order, next time we'll eat there. read more

A little disappointed with this place. I remember seeing them on IG having these big TJ style tacos with this nice guacamole smothered on top, only to come and get a tiny taco with watery guac that makes you have to rip the paper off the tortilla. Always try the asada and it'll tell you everything you need to know about a taco place. I'm sad that it was just ok, it lacked flavor and all you will taste is the gas or propane they use to char the steak, big and stringy pieces will have to trying to eat your burrito like noodles . The rice and beans literally saved the burrito and the little bit of guac they put in them. My son did enjoy his chicken tacos and he's picky, good taste and the hand made tortillas were good, just so little and thin. I will say the Al pastor is probably their best meat, if i had to ever come back here, that's the only kind of taco or burrito I'd order. Salsas are good, spicy! And they have lemons and radish at the salsa bar. There is a lot of room to sit, either by the windows or the tables all in the middle. There was a little bit of a line, but not really that many people for how long it took to get 3 tacos and a burrito. Horchata id def recommend and they have all the other sodas people like. It's 4 dollars a tiny taco and 13 for a burrito. Being honest I'd much rather go to el cholo or even Alberto's down the street. If there is no parking, honestly i wouldn't waste your time waiting. read more

Me and my friend decided to try this place out mostly because it has the same name as the taco place we use to go to a few years ago but it burned down. We were pleasantly surprised because the food had a great taste and was adequately priced. Service was fast and friendly. The menu also included other items such as burritos, tortas, vampiros and mulitas. Apparently this place used to be a hammer diner but was remodeled into a Mexican food restaurant. Decently clean interior and clean restrooms. Definitely coming back. read more

I had seen this place on a feed and I knew the location from when it was a catch all burger place, it's close to Brewheim. Stopped in today after going to Angel Stadium to have them remove a security tag from a purse I bought last night... anyway... the four delicious tacos made everything okay. Two Birria and two Labio, the labio was ridiculous! Probably the best taco I've had in years. Four tacos and a water 13$... with a lady pressing the tortillas and throwing them on the flat top. Plenty of seats and a salsa bar too, but I asked for everything on the tacos and they were perfect. Parking is tight, especially if it is lots of work vans and trucks. read more

I wanted to express my disappointment with the experience tonight at Taqueria El Poblano. Customers have been waiting over an hour for their food, and I personally have been waiting close to 40 minutes already. What made the situation more frustrating was the lack of communication and professionalism from the staff. After asking why orders were taking so long, the response given at the counter came with a bad attitude and no reassurance that our food would be ready anytime soon. I asked to speak with a manager, and Evelyn responded by saying no manager was available and that we simply needed to wait for our food. That response was dismissive and unprofessional, especially considering how long customers had already been waiting. From what I observed, the entire operation behind the counter seemed disorganized. The taqueros appeared confused, constantly looking at the monitors without moving orders out efficiently. The only staff members who seemed fully focused and functioning well were the ladies making the tacos. I understand busy nights happen, but communication, organization, and customer service matter just as much as the food. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so future customers don't have the same experience. read more

Taqueria El Poblano - Mexican Near Me - Anaheim, California

The restaurant was clean and well maintained. We were the second group in line to place our order for my family. We ordered 8 asada tacos, 2 chorizo tacos, 3 pollo tacos, 2 Pastor and 2 veggie tacos, all with everything. There were already a few customers eating inside, along with two other tables of two people each waiting for their food. Despite ordering early, we ended up waiting about 28 minutes. I finally went to the counter to ask about our order, and the employee told me we were next. I mentioned that we had been waiting nearly 30 minutes while there seemed to be a lot of conversation going on behind the counter instead of attention to customers. He just smiled and gave me a look without much of a response. The tacos were decent. The freshly made tortillas were definitely a highlight, and I really enjoyed the guacamole on each taco along with the homemade salsa. However, the meats could have used more seasoning and flavor. I was also surprised that the veggie tacos weren't made with vegetables--they were filled with rice, beans, and guacamole instead. Overall, the food was okay, and my favorite was the pastor taco. This place was worth trying once, but it's probably not somewhere I'll return. Sorry! read more

I've been here three times and overall it's a really good taco spot. The tacos are flavorful, and I've enjoyed the food every visit. The only thing I've noticed is that the carne asada tastes a little different each time I come. It's always been good, but the consistency could be better. The salsa is also tasty, but I'd love to see a few new salsa options added to the lineup for more variety. Overall, it's a solid place with great food, and I'll definitely keep coming back. (6/15/26) my asada was soo chewy. I don't know if it's the cook but it just wasn't it today . read more

Taqueria El Poblano - Carne asada, al pastor, and birria tacos - Mexican Near Me - Anaheim, California

The tacos here are very good. I ordered el pastor and asada queso tacos, and was pleased with the generous amount of guac, cilantro, onion, meat and cheese. When you first bite in, the tortilla is made on the spot so it tastes very fresh and it has a light delicious flavor to it. The meat is seasoned in a way that amplifies the meat flavor itself, not overly salty. It's a fresh taco, very similar to a TJ taco. This place was more affordable than the other taco places down on State College, respectfully. In trying times, I will stick to yummy fresh tacos I can afford and are closer by anyway. Service was moderately fast, took 20 minutes for my takeout order which is not so bad. Ambiance inside the restaurant was high energy, Spanish music playing and several families and couples eating their meals within the red and white interior decor of the place. I would recommend this place, very good overall read more

I work super close to this place and have been watching it for months to see when it would open.

The tacos are decent at this place, but im giving this place 3 star because this place need to be more organized because in just 20 minutes i just heard that they had ready just 3 orders, and they made me wait over half hour for just 4 tacos, yes four tacos, which is absurd. read more

Was disappointed. The guac on the tacos didn't have flavor. I also got a birria taco with consomé and the consomé was also lacking flavor.

Tacos were okay. I ordered the asada quesa tacos. What gives this a lower rating is the extremely slow turnout for food. Went in there at 8:30PM for only 4 Tacos as a to go and it took them almost 45 minutes to get it out for me. Not worth the wait. May try again in the future when this place dies down as they have recently reopened. read more

I was a regular customer at the location that burned down so came to check out the new location that was opened down the street. We ordered our food the young lady that helped us asked if it was "for here or to go " we said for here so she rung us up . The gentleman that made our food gave it to me in a bag so I asked for a plate so I can eat my burrito and he looked at me weird and said " it's not to go ?" I said no I ordered it for here he looked at me with an upset face so I asked if that was ok . His response was "well if u don't care that I'll be sweeping around u sure" I get it they wanna go home as soon as the closing time hits and I understand that 100% but why didn't they tell me " hey it's only togo orders now" and let me decide if I still wanna grab food there or go somewhere else. Found his comment weird and unprofessional. Customer service is very important in places like this so I hope they work on learning how to handle certain situations. My review is strictly based on tonight's customer service that left me completely disappointed read more

They just opened new location in Anaheim. We were thrilled went to check it out. Unfortunately disappointed after 30 minute wait. The Bellflower location remains the best spot.

Ordered a carne asada taco, chicken taco, queso birria taco and side of rice and beans. Overall, I was unimpressed. The guacamole on the tacos was very bland and didn't add anything, but thankfully their salsa helped saved the chicken and asada tacos. The queso birria taco was delicious and the only thing that I would order again. I would come back for the queso birria tacos, but doubt I'll try anything else. read more

Local taqueria Food is good but after today I will never come back. Ordered a Burrito cashier made a mistake that I didn't notice on my receipt so when my order came a torta was made for, told the preparer I ordered a burrito he told me he made me a Torta and it's ready. I went to cashier and told her of the mistake ( Juliana ) she apologized and made a correction and printed me a new order. The preparer pulled her aside and started from what I can see giving her a bad time over a minor mistake , I could she was was almost I tears so I asked for torta to be thrown out and I would pay for burrito so this guy would leave this poor girl alone. He clearly doesn't understand good customer service and clearly doesn't care for his employees. Enough for me not to ever come back ever again. I don't support this kind of business. Slave driver he could have waited and not done this in front on customers. Very expensive Burrito! Everyone Go to Los Cholos instead. They care for their employees read more

Craved something, but didn't want a burger. Came here and ordered "to-go": a chicken taco, with "everything." For a small tortilla, it was really packed with meat. The "everything" added just the right amount of interesting flavors: some guacamole, some pico de gallo, maybe some cilantro. I parked and went inside to see the menu. Service was speedy. I saw ample seating, and the place was about 3/4 full. I will try Taqueria El Poblano again, and I recommend you give it a try. read more
