Hemal JhaveriJanuary 11, 2016We have eaten Taqueria el Poblano Restaurant several times and it just seems to be a gamble if our food will be good anymore. They have Nice place and beautiful view.
Steve LarsonJune 22, 2019Had the salmon fish tacos and my daughter had a shredded beef taco, both were excellent. The salsa for the chips was the best ever. Lunch with soft drinks & tip was $36, pricey but it is Alexandria.
Leandro LageraMay 29, 2016I like the original the best. Quality tacos but I'm and enchilada guy and these are on point.- M BAugust 20, 2017The tostada is Huge. Plenty of meat and bean and the avocado sauce adds just the right touch of seasoning. No extra salsa needed to spice up this dish.
The chile brazed beef burritos are excellent. The limeade is also excellent. It's sour, and you sweeten it to taste.
The Magaritas, as you might expect, are to die for. Get the taco specials and you won't be disappointed!- Jesse GillAugust 16, 2021Beef Tacos Dorados (LA Style Crispy Tacos) are real bomb. Best I’ve had on this coast.
Aimee AimeeNovember 27, 2012I came here the other day with my sister and her girlfriend. The chicken tacos were so fresh and delicious, as was the guacamole.
Nicole StahleckerJune 28, 2016Amazing jalapeño margarita! Helpful friendly staff. Great food! Guacamole was amazing
There aren't many tables so a wait (5-15 minutes) isn't out of the possible on popular nights. The wait is well worth it!- AustinAugust 30, 2014The lime-marinated steak tacos al cabron were amazing. The shrimp was prepared well in the shrimp tacos, but the taco as a whole was just okay.
Always check the specials. The chicken and mango tamales on special were outstanding.- Justin ThorpFebruary 11, 2012Really enjoyed the margaritas and fish tacos. Was also happy to see they had Port City beers on draft.
Josh WhelchelSeptember 17, 2015Queso from another world. Fantastic crunchy tacos. Next time I'll need the sangria
Alex M.December 31, 2012Try the pork crunchy tacos and don't leave without having a margarita -- everything here is absolutely amazing!
Design*SpongeAugust 3, 2014This place is tiny and there is often a line to get in. Wait. It’s worth it. Read more
Adam GerardJuly 29, 2011Yes, the tacos and burritos are excellent. But so are the lime cooler drink and chocolate tequila ice cream.
Great spot for California-style Mexican food. And charming Del Ray is perfect for a post-meal stroll.
Like it hot? Ask for the Habanero sauce, great flavor.
Colleen LevineMarch 29, 2012Crispy tacos LA-style & don't miss the chipotle chocolate ice cream when they have it.
rob zandSeptember 1, 2014small place, therefore fewer annoying people. no tvs - yay! salsa (for chips) was really good. meal was pretty basic. decent.
Shrimp tacos are great and I live their chips and salsa. Their crispy tacos are the best too!
Great spot. Feels just like the neighborhood Mexican joint in L.A.
