Lunch for 2, in and out in 20 minutes and just under $20! A simple, inexpensive taco joint to grab a quick bite- expect no bells and whistles, but pretty darn good food. The place is nothing to look at- it is small and inside a shopping plaza. We have been here a few times and service is quick, attentive, and friendly. We ordered a taco salad (chicken was shredded, flavorful, and juicy) and the taco platter (came with 2 tacos, beans and rice). Come on in and spread some love at these smaller local joints.

What this place lacks in ambience is easily made up for in their food. I haven't had Mexican food in a while so this really hit the spot. They make their salsa fresh and it comes unlimited with hot crisp chips prior to your meal. I ordered the chicken flautas for appetizer and the chicken quesadilla and supreme fajita burrito (chicken, shrimp and steak) for the entrees. I was stuffed and had leftovers which was still so tasty the next day. It's a very small and understated space. But even though our server was the only one facing the customers, he was very attentive and checked in on our table several times during our meal. This was good experience and I would've given it five stars if they did something more with the decor. Good food and good service always deserves props.

Went for Lunch. Small place with plenty of free parking in the same shopping center as the Food Lion. Food was decent, nothing special. Bill for myself and the wife was only $23 so it was a good value.

Stopped in to have lunch since they offer veggie options. We both decided on the veggie fajitas. While the order was placed we feasted on chips and salsa Fresca. The chips were nice and warm and the salsa definitely tasted fresh. Our servers made sure we had plenty of salsa and brought out more chips....as if my waist line needed that. Our lunch came out and the veggies were excellent. They were not over cooked in oil like so many places that do veggie fajitas. The flavoring was spot on. The rice and lettuce were excellent as well. We asked for no sour cream since we are vegan. But it is an option for vegetarians. Now here is the reason for 4 stars and not five. There was no beans or avocado slices with the fajitas and only two tortillas. We were not given a choice between corn and flour tortillas. That could have been an oversight on our part but we were not asked. So I am not sure for some of you if they have a gluten free option. The price for the lunch version was very reasonable. With drinks, our lunch was less than $20 before tip. You can't beat that in the metro DC area. I would almost change it to a five star for that. Almost!

The staff is super friendly and the food was fast and hot, however, it was not the type of Mexican food I like. The salsa was a watery Pico and the ground beef was sweet. I don't particularly care for sweet beef or pork but you might. The 3 stars is based upon the food being sweet vs. savory. I prefer Mexican to have a kick, some salt, cayenne, and garlic.

This used to be our favorite Mexican restaurant in Frederick. Haven't ate there in awhile since we discovered the taste of the food had changed the last couple of times we ate there.Decided to give it another try last week. The to go order was complete. But the taste is still off. The beef tacos and shredded beef burrito's are very sweet tasting. Not your normal Mexican seasoning. Sadly we won't be returning.

My last review was of Chevy's (Tex Mex), and for me it has always been a 5 star place. But there's no Chevy's that is located around Frederick, so I've been on a hunt to find a suitable Mexican joint that's more local to me.And I think Poblano Grill is it (for now). I was actually surprised by some of the reviews. The place was clean, the staff was kind, and my food was awesome. Maybe it's just because I usually get tacos, which are pretty hard to screw up (here's looking at you, Cafe Bueno -__-), so I'm rarely disappointed. But the chicken in my tacos was spiced just right, the shells were perfectly cooked, and even the sides of beans and rice were good as well. When I left the restaurant, I was seriously thinking "Is there anything negative I can say about this place?" And I couldn't come up with anything. So it doesn't matter that this is just some generic American Mexican restaurant. They had no foul ups for me, so I can't give any less than a 5/5.

First impression of this place was great! Admittedly, coming from Los Angeles, my experiences with Mexican food in Frederick so far have been just sort of meh, even at one of the places that was touted as being super authentic, so I didn't have high hopes that the place right down the street from our new house would be that good, but I was so pleasantly surprised! The owner makes some excellent food, and he was super attentive with the service. I had the chicken enchilada plate, which isn't my usual go-to (like ever), but pregnancy has me craving all sorts of things I don't usually get. Anyway, it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was super juicy and the sauce was perfect. I also really liked the beans--good consistency and flavor. My husband ordered the queso appetizer, and it was a creamy emulsified dip, not like a traditional queso fundido, but the flavor was great. I thought my husband was about to start eating it with a spoon if he hadn't been offered a refill of chips, it was that good, hah. The menu is extensive and so reasonably priced! We'll definitely be back!

Inexpensive but good quality food. Highly recommend. It's in a shopping center but haven't been disappointed. I usually get the shredded beef chimi. Excellent! Order that, trust me!
