This is my go-to Mexican cuisine spot. Their birria tacos, empanadas, and burritos are my favorites!! Always fresh, very quickly made and very friendly service. This one of East Haven’s hidden gems for sure!

First time trying 2 burritos (steak and shrimp) and wow! Super Delicious! Great customer service. I was told that the food will be done in in a few minutes and if I waited 8 minutes that was too long of how fast it was done. Highly recommended

This was such a hidden gem!! Their food is always really good and fast. The ONLY negative thing I will say is that.... they had to raise their prices, so it's no longer affordable per se.2 burritos and 2 empanadas for $42 seems a little much, in my opinion. But this is unfortunately how things are now everywhere. Other than that it's a great little place. FIY- it's a grab and go situation not a sit down place.

First time after driving by for a cple years.Got the pollo burrito with everything.First, the flavor was outstanding, you could taste poblano peppers in the sauce, which was a unique substitution from the typical verde sauce ingredients from surrounding taquerias in New Haven county.Also, the chicken, the rice, the beans, all had their own flavor that, when mixed together with each other, married them all for a very satisfying taste.The burrito as a whole was well sized. The chix to rice and beans ratio was fair for the price. I liked the substitution of cabbage instead of lettuce, which I was worried about in the beginning, The burrito was sauced well, but not sloppy or soaking wet. The tortilla held up nicely throughout the entire burrito and didn't tear or fall apart, but it was still tender and soft enough that it was easy to eat.I highly recommend trying El Poblano if you're in the area and in the mood for some Americanized-Mexican food with authentic Mexican flavor.The only thing I will say, which ultimately isn't THAT bad, is the price. It was $11 for the Chix burrito. Steak/shrimp and lengua(I think) was $13. So it's on the higher end when compared to similar spots in the area, but you get a larger portion size, delicious, and slightly unique burrito, served up fast.The woman was very pleasant and you can tell that they take pride in their food and their restaurant.The restaurant was very clean.

Parking: Small lot, so if it was busier I would've had to wait for someone else to leave first.

This place is legit. Reminds me of my mom's cooking. Had the fajita platter and it didn't disappoint. Highly recommend.

Ordered Uber Eats and it was 10/10. Food was delish, neat and presented really well for take out! There’s nothing better than trying somewhere new for take out and being shocked how good it was.

Went here the other day. The food is top notch. I had the chicken burrito and I can tell you it's going to be what I order next time also. Line was a little long but was worth the wait. Authentic food.
