Never visit this place it is the worst place to eat in the world. The food is so old that if you eat it you might get a huge stomach ache or go to the hospital.

Delicious tacos with meat that was perfectly seasoned and cooked. They were made fresh just for me, and I will definitely be returning! Just keep in mind you have to speak enough Spanish to order.

? The food was not fresh. Tasted like it was old and kept in the refrigerator for days & remicrowaved again and again. Dirty bathroom. No more. Never again.

(Translated by Google) ROTTEN food I returned to return, but the TYPE OWNER of the place was kicking and beating a homeless person and I didn't risk it for a few dollars I went home, sad(Original)Comida PODRIDA regrese para devolver, pero la tipa DUEÑA del lugar estaba sacando a un desamparado a golpes, y patadas y no me arriesgue por unos dólares me fui a casa,triste

It's a small, non-drscript, Mom & Pop place but really good. I have only been once and have only had the tacos. There were huge, delicious, and a great deal. They melt cheese on the taco's inner side of the tortilla to help prevent breakage but it also adds a great flavor. I will be back to explore more of their offerings.

Pescado tacos were delicious, my husband got the asada plate and that was great too. Loved the juice I got too, very refreshing. Very kind woman working there. Thanks!

First time here and probably not coming back, maybe we ordered the wrong thing ? Maybe it was a bad day ? I am not sure, but we got Mole and Tamales, and Jeez we were so disappointed. We moved from Glendale to Pasadena about a month ago and we decided to try this place out because it was comida poblana! We love this food !!!! and have had many good experiences with other restaurants!Sadly.........The Tamales were so hard I could not eat it and I showed someone on a table how hard it was! Literally like a rock .. Definitely old and just warmed back up in a microwave or something! Definitely have to check on the quality of food before you serve it to a customer. =(The Mole, did not seem authentic or fresh more watery and bland,. Sucks! we were so hungry too !

There is no place like this one. The quesadillas are monstrous and the pozole thick and stocky. In fact, that was the best quesadilla I've ever had from El Poblano

Support your local businesses! Freshly made tacos for after your bike ride.

Wanted to try a Mexican food place so I gave this a try. Ordered some tacos and a burrito but I was surprised that the bill was a bit high for that amount of food. I thought it was fishy that no prices are displayed anywhere. When I tried the food, it was alright - not the best. Plus, it took almost half an hour for the food to be ready. For burritos and tacos? Why that long? Oh, and they only take cash. Unless you have Venmo - they accept that too. Overall, not sure I would go again. Other reviewers seem to have a better experience than me so maybe I went on an off-day.

Please support this small family biz! They cook amazing food and are so sweet and kind. I've been here 3x so far and everything I've tried was so delicious, particularly their asada and shrimp dishes. All their fresh smoothies are bomb too!
