I grew up eating at this restaurant, and didn’t realize I took it for granted! I have moved around several states and have yet to find Mexican restaurants and dishes that are close to comparable. A Mexican restaurant that is worth our 90 minute drive 😋

El Pobre Mexican Restaurant offers delicious food made with fresh ingredients and friendly customer service. They go the extra mile by separating tortillas to prevent sogginess. The chips are thin and crispy, served with tasty salsa and queso that add a nice touch of spice. The grilled chicken is seasoned perfectly, and the refried beans are a hit. While the rice can sometimes be a bit mushy, the overall quality remains excellent. Currently, the restaurant serves in to-go containers with plastic silverware, which some may find less ideal than plates. The build-your-own, pick-2 option includes 8 choices, with 4 having an upcharge, making it a bit pricey for the portion size. The fajitas still impress, and the small indoor seating area provides a cozy atmosphere. Despite being short-staffed at times, the great food and attentive service ensure a memorable dining experience. The restaurant’s chef and owner, El Pobre, continue to deliver a satisfying Mexican meal with a warm touch.
