Taqueria El Poblano

LA Style Tacos and the BEST margaritas! This was my Thursday night happy place. I am originally from SoCal and this is the only place that understands shredded beef crispy tacos! I'm now in Colorado and still can't find anything quite like them.

A pretty typical mainstream Mexican restaurant located in Del Ray.What is, to me, most notable about Poblano is the very loud, very exuberant atmosphere, perhaps at least partially fueled by all the margaritas being swilled.Service stands out as very good and very attentive.Food is decent but not noteworthy. But perhaps what is noteworthy is that Poblano has the stretchiest cheese I've ever encountered!We ordered the queso dip (topped with optional chorizo) served with 3 flour tortillas. The queso dip was good with a little bit of refried beans at the base of the dish. The 3 tortillas were not enough, so we used the complimentary tortilla chips to finish the dip.JP had the mole verde chicken, served with refried beans and Mexican rice. The mole sauce was good and the chicken tender. I ordered the tres enchiladas (pork, chicken and beef) . They were decent, also served with rice and refried beans. There was also a dollop of guacamole on my plate. It was nice that there was no cilantro in the guacamole, but it did have an overabundance of lime juice.

Came here to celebrate an early birthday. We tested out their brunch menu. It did not disappoint. Both mains and the appetizer were delicious! I would highly recommend either of the three items that we indulged in! The service was slow in the being (they just opened) but picked up towards the end and was great! The decor of the place is super cool! It's definitely a small joint but has enough tables for a good amount of customers! We will return! Food was delicious!

The staff here are very nice and pretty attentive. I've been here in the past but it has been awhile. The food is not your typical Tex Mex because it's not a straight Mexican restaurant. I got the enchiladas and my boyfriend got a taco and the stuffed pepper. They were good however there was wayyyy too much cheese. We sat outside since it was a nice evening. I would like it even more if they upgraded it a little bit for the outside seating. Still a great option in DelRay.

The food was really good and filling.The staff were nice and helpful.The interior was clean and cozy.

Stop what you're doing and order the tres enchiladas. They are so authentic, cheesy, delicious and consistent. I really can't recommend this place enough. The only downside is that the space is small, so we typically order for take out. Just went to pick up on a Sunday at 6, and the place has no empty seats.The food is 11/10 but so are their margaritas. Don't forget to give them a try and see why they have won awards for the past several years. You won't regret coming here.

2.5 stars. Good service but the food is a little on the bland side. I liked the roasted scallions but everything else like the fish tacos, chips and salsa, etc where just bland. The customer service was very good and it's a very family friendly establishment.

Definitely the most disappointing Mexican meal I've experienced. We sampled various tacos and the shrimp and duck ones were the worst. The shrimp had an unpleasant iodine taste, even the side rice and beans we got left much to be desired. The service was mediocre at best. Considering the basic quality of the food and pricy bill of $100, it was far from a satisfying experience.

Ordered take out late last night, and the service & food were greatly improved. Everything was correct and well made. The Shrimp tacos were excellent, the chicken taquitos were crisp and had good flavor, and the guacamole was flavorful and luscious. I'm extremely pleased that my local restaurant has turned the corner and doing far better in service & food quality. Will definitely be back more often. Cheers!

Fish & pork & chicken & beef Tacos & burritos are outstanding.....the margaritas are exceptional too .....the 95% miserable liberal white privileged patrons are the only problem due to the heinous location in Del ray Alexandria....
