Poblano's Mexican Restaurant

This girl loves Mexican food. LOVES it! I am not a fan of many of the local mexican restaurants in the Columbus area. Most are 2-3 stars. So when her Mexican buddy said that this is the only Mexican restaurant that his 99 yr old grandma will go to and not complain about the food... it sure fast tracked Pablanos to the top of my "let's go here" list. Two days later we walked thru Pablano's door. We came in at a weird time: 3:40. We were honestly "the" only customers. Slightly muted bright colors decorate the space. It doesnt feel like the american stereo type Mexican decor. It felt warm and still festive. As we walked in, I realized I came here with my husband when we were in college... it was DonPablo's way back then and the decor has changed but floor plan hasn't changed much at all. Soon, the biggest basket of chips arrived. The salsa is made in house... and did I say it was good?? Omg. Sooooo good! How good? Well I slurped down two bowls of it and didnt even feel ashamed. A teensy bit of smokey flavor, the right amount of onions, onions cut perfectly- it was really special. What is nice here is they give you individual salsa cups so you can double dip to your hearts content. We looked over the massive menu. Our server, Jose, kept patiently coming back asking "ready to order?"... He had to come back at least three times. Why we read every entree I dont know because we ended up ordering exactly what he suggested we get... fajitas. My husband got the Zurape (chicken, (or steak) paired with house made chorizo. I got the chicken. Holy guacamole... that chorizo in the Zurape was sooooooo amazing. I see why Grandma doesnt complain. No shade to my chicken fajita... it was one of the best I have had, but I was quite sad that I did not order the Zurape. The chorizo here is dare I say....perfect. Thank you Jose and @pablanosmexrest for making our early dinner tasty and fun!

Haven't been here for a long time. The inside is truly Mexican decor! I ordered a burrito filled with seasoned ground beef, Mexican rice, refried beans and served with lettuce, tomato,sour cream and pico de gallo. It was delicious and able to take some home for another meal. Service was good and everyone got their meal at the same time.

We showed up about 2pm after the lunch rush. Sits high on the hill and looks closed. This is a gem. Very large for huge parties, very authentic foods. Chips and salsa was yummy, hot salsa was better. I had a burrito and had to take half home! great price, yummy maggies and plenty of food to feed everyone and some the next day! I loved the fact that most items had the red or green sauce already on it. Awesome service and a lot of smiles! We will be back!

This is our second visit. We fell in love with our meals the first time and came back! I believe this is the first Columbus restaurant I found serving Quesabirria. Because we live on the opposite side of town, return trips are special. I have spent the past year eating Quesabirria around my side of town. Today I revisited the Quesabirria at Poblanos. The consume was flavorful with deeply developed spices and tender beef. I would give the consume 10 stars!The quesabirria was filled that tender, flavorful beef.The actual Quesabirria tacos were very good - Definately in my top 5 list with the beef mentioned earlier, cheese, cilantro and diced onions. The portion was generous and served with rice and beans. I substituted guacamole salad and had more food than I needed. Hubs ordered the chicken burrito off the lunch menu. The meat was flavorful and seasoned well. The burrito was topped with lettuce and sour cream. He added salsa and it was delicious! Speaking of, their chips and salsa were delivered to our table and we both dug in! The chips were average. Possibly over cooked and Definately NOT salty. Just ok.But the salsa ré4

Discovered this establishment one night after every other place was packed. We walked in and were immediately seated. Standard chips and salsa were brought to the table. We ordered the frozen margarita, I'm normally not a fan of these, but here the mix is balanced and delicious. I ordered the Parrilllada Mexicana, this fajita mix had plenty of onions, peppers, chicken, steak, pork carnitas, and chorizo. This is one of my favorite dishes. The meat both chicken and steak were tender and juicy. This is served with rice and beans and flour tortillas. The food is flavorful and generous portions. This is one of the better establishments in the area.

They can't make a margarita unless it's pre mixed....it's a friggin MEXICAN RESTAURANT. STAY AWAY.

This restaurant has great food and affordable prices. The decor is very colorful and would be great for margaritas at lunch or dinner with friends. I've tried their fajitas and Chile relleno and they are amazing! I highly recommend this place if you want tasty Mexican food.

Love this place, the service is always great when I go here for dinner. I usually order a steak fajita quesadilla that's not listed on the menu, but they make it just right. I also usually get the queso dip and a pitcher of margarita, all of this pairs great together. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking to eat some authentic Mexican.

We've been coming here for over 10 years. The food is always fresh and delicious. The service is phenomenal. Homemade authentic fresh ingredients makes their food mouthwatering delicious and the prices are so Economical, especially in this trying times.If I could give 10 stars I would GiGi Lopez

The food is great. I love the steak burritos but be prepared to take half home!! The staff is very welcoming and friendly and attentive. The only meal I didn't like was the the tilapia. A nice place to celebrate.
