“I had the pleasure of going there last night for first time and I highly recommend it...Amazing food, fresh ingredients, nice sized portions and the owner/staff are friendly, attentive and accommodating...The best, authentic Mexican cuisine food I’ve had ever and so reasonably priced...👍“

“Upgrade yourself from fast food to quick food, cooked to order.
We walked in about 930p and they had no problem making whatever we wanted, and we were starving! Nice selection of Hispanic and Italian to make your belly happy. My Lomo saltado was great and my friend nearly finished his massive chicken burrito.
The place is a little small, something like 6-8 seats, but hoy Just as easy to order ahead for on the go. Would eat here again!“

“My family has been going to Los Poblanos for years. First when they had a restaurant and now the food truck. You can't keep them away. The owners are the sweetest and the food is delicious every time. Highly highly recommend them if you want truly authentic and amazing Mexican food.“

“Food - 10/10
Service - 11/10
Atmosphere - 6/10

Amazing Taco Bowls. Service is fast and friendly and the food is so fresh. One small recommendation (and this is being really picky on a world class establishment) is they could make the interior decorations more authentic. I would really like to see a few festive hats and pinatas which they could easily acquire from Party City next door. What Time is it? GUAC TIME.“

“Came here for taco Tuesday with 5 friends, the taco Tuesday deal along with other entrees were delicious. The drinks are fresh and the staff is so friendly !

I’ve had plenty of tacos, from trucks restaurants but THESE tacos are so light, never skimpy on meat or the shrimp, they always hit the spot, the shrimps never taste like seafood, ALWAYS DELICIOUS always done on time even if they are busy and the people and service is always nice friendly and simple. MY FAVORITE TACO TRUCK HANDS DOWNNNNNNN!!! Love ya God bless your business ??“

The service was excellent. The owner who served us was very friendly. Parking was easy. Definitely coming back to try different things on the menu. Great meal!!“

“We love coming to Rio Border Mexican Restaurant. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The food is amazing although I noticed that the portions have gotten alot smaller. I will say this...they do make an awesome Margherita!“

“fresh food.. Delicious food..nice staff..😊❤️“

“As a former Norwalk resident, I was thrilled to rediscover the local food scene during a recent visit. I stumbled upon Capuli, a gem that apparently opened last spring. If only I had known about it before moving away!

The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making me feel right at home. But it was the food that truly stole the show. I opted for the taco sampler, and every single bite was a flavor explosion. The chicken tacos, in particular, were a standout. Juicy, flavorful, and far superior to any I've had in the area.

I also couldn't resist trying the grilled steak and Birria tacos. Both were absolutely delicious, with a comforting, homemade taste. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu“

“Authentic flavor. I got tamales and tacos and although the meat was a little over cooked, seasoning and toppings were pretty authentic.I ordered online to pick up and did not paid attention to my order as I was in a hurry, unfortunately when I got home I noticed they forgot one item from my order :/ Need to pay attention next time“

“Excelente comida. Los sopes delicioso. 😋. Sobre todo. Atencion muy buena.“
