The service was good. The people were friendly. The Ambiance is nothing special but the inside of the restaurant does have AC. The food - we ordered nachos de res, A torta de res, and a burrito de res. We finished it off with 3 horchatas. All the food was a bit below average. The flavors were just not right. The horchata was a bit pasty. This was definitely a miss in my book. read more

We came here because we saw the restaurant full, they sat us down outside and the music was average, the server was so busy I believe he only came to our table twice, we ordered the pastor plate and well the plate was full of meat but it was kind of dry for my taste, the agua de jamaica was too sweet. They have a lot of other plates and food from mariscos to tacos. Not sure if I will be coming back. read more

El Ponlano has decent food at fantastic prices. You can't beat their happy hour specials that include a 2 for $100 any flavor margarita deal! The steak plate with veggies and tortillas was a steal at around $200. They also have the best lemonades! While the prices were good, the food was just okay at best! I would come back to try their other cheap eats! read more

El Poblano - Al pastor and skirt steak tacos - Mexican Near Me - Cancún, ROO

They reuse their salsas!!!! I saw them clean a table and take the salsa that they picked up from that table to a new table. Unfortunately I saw this towards the end of our meal. I had the arrachera and it was pretty good but seeing they reused contaminated salsa made me want to throw up my dinner. Luckily I did not eat the salsas as I thought they looked old. Little did I know at that time that they had already been used by previous guests. read more

Excellent food at El Poblano. It is a local franchise, but it is not like the States. Most of the franchises here actually use fresh and local ingredients. You can right away taste the difference. El Poblano is a popular local spot in the downtown area so it does gets very busy. This is one of those spots that is known for its carne al pastor. That is where they have marinated pork spinning on a trompo and cooked on an open flame. Pure greasy dripping fiery charcoaled goodness. I totally forgot what I ordered because I was buzzed at the time, but our orders did consit of carne del pastor. I did get a picture. All I can say is that it was very flavorful and delicious. I enjoyed every bite. I highly recommend this fabulous place. read more

Great atmosphere, food okay. A huge party came in just after us and our server forgot about us entirely (no forks for 20+ mins after requesting them). They were busy so maybe unfair time to rate but I wouldn't go again. VERY good prices though! read more

You are here for the Al pastor tacos topped with pineapple. Other dishes were great but these are the ones that stand out. Stay awesome! read more

El Poblano - What you see here is a taco of Al pastor , 2 gringas , and some more Al pastor on the other plate. - Mexican Near Me - Cancún, ROO

I don't recommend this place the food was cold and the service not very friendly. I recommend any other place

This place is great , just so happen to run into this restaurant on my way to Hotel zone without even looking at yelp first like I usually do . The tacos were great ! The juices and margaritas were very tasty as well . From our table we were able to watch a fire show . The service was also great the waiters we're very attentive read more

Had way too many al pastors with a few cold ones for under $10. A good time. Music was poppin read more

It looked good from the reviews. Table of 4, everyone's food was good other than mine. I ordered the chipotle fish and had one bite...Seriously one. And it was slimy. The texture was gross. I returned my plate because I wasn't going to eat it, I assumed it would not be on the bill. I read the bill and it was still on it. I argued with the manager to take it off and he persisted to say "I'm not going to not charge for a meal you ordered and didn't like " (in Spanish). I thought it was un reasonable and he threatened to call the cops. Service was poor as well, gave us the margarita we ordered after our meal at the end with the check... I know there's a lot of positive reviews for this place but I would not recommend this place to tourist or locals. read more

The outdoor seating, the music playing, and the smell of the pastor cooking caught our attention. I had the mix tacos plate and only the pastor came with cilantro and onions on it. I wish they would have provided more on the side for my other 5 tacos..the chicken tacos were just grilled pieces of chicken like ones you get out of a bag from castco and heat up..nothing special... This place would be more of a "drink and hangout" kind of place for us. read more

My husband was looking for some delicious el pastor tacos when we happened to stumble on this cute little restaurant. The food was great and my husband commented that the tacos was one of the best he has had on our trip. I decided to get the gringa tacos with chicken and I was not disappointed. Not only was the food delicious but the staff was courteous and respectful. If you are in the area do not hesitate. Give them a try you will not be sorry! Thanks for everything guys! Excellent service. read more

A really fab chill place off the plaza; happy hour beers; tacos al pastor is done very well and tasty! Dig the red salsa and sauce ; rich deep chiles and mild heat but keeps you coming back for more. read more

Dude, Trust me and just do the following: Order the mixed grill meat platter (the one that costs $400 pesos and says is for 4 people)... Next order a bucket of Bohemia Beer. Next order extra of the habanero salsa that they bring you. Name your first child after me in thanks. Ps of you really are smart and are doing exactly what I tell you, then tell them to substitute the steak with extra al pastor meat. Name all your future children after me. read more

Good spot to get grub. Delicious Margaritas. Very good tacos of arrachera meat with cheese. Service was fast and the establishment was clean and had a friendly ambiance. Only negative was a lady outside of the establishment came in and dropped off some vacation package flyers to look at after we ordered. And later when our food arrived and she came back and asked if we were interested, we said no and she sat down at our table went on some more about her offers. I thought it was rude to do that while we are trying to enjoy the meal. But luckily she got the point and left after a minute or so. But that's Cancun for you now a days. You can't walk 20 feet without being asked to buy park packages constantly. Lol. read more

BEST FOOD...BEST SERVICE....BEST PRICES....BEST SERVER: ALJENDRO!!!! I mean truly you cannot say anything better than that. Sit outside watch downtown Cancun go by. What a find!!! All the buses are right there with a HUGE Mercado across the street. Ave Tulum. Right in the heart of everything. We got to go there twice and each ti.e everything was PERFECT....btw, their ceveche is to die for. KUDOS TO EL POBLANO FOR EVERYTHING WAS GREAT. PS: There were 4 of us and with LOTS of food and LOTS of drinks our bill was like $60. INCREDIBLE....what a find. GO DOWNTOWN....you will love this place!!!! read more

The spot is awesome.... recommended by a local and glad we took the time to check it out! Great atmosphere and food.. during covid all staff were wearing masks and super friendly... if you drive there several spots try to persuade you to eat at their spots, just say el poblano and the staff will direct you where to park... highly recommend the sampler taco meal... with 4 beers and a ton of food for my family of 6 teenagers (steaks and chicken adult meals) only $65 usd read more

We are never disappointed at El Poblano! We have been coming here for 11 years and always order the Tacos Al Pastor! Great place to eat when you are in the city of Cancun! read more

BEST TACOS AL PASTOR Looking for authentic tacos after eating so much touristy food. Best meal I had during the trip. Great prices and even better food! Will be coming back. read more

Best al pastor tacos and very cheap. I could not get over the price and how many I ate I had tried multplease places and these tacos are the best so far yet. read more

i had the best chili rellenos here. Friendly staff. Local Cancun food. Reasonably priced.

I was disappointed in this place. Though they were friendly, the quality of the food for the price wasn't great. You can get better food in a much nicer ambiance at a lot of other places. read more

Stop by because we were approached by the waiter promoting the seafood, AC, and Wi-Fi. Well the ceviche is horrible, very bland and it's more like a pico de Gallo with slices of shrimp and small chunks of fish. There is no AC felt. To top this place my tab was 145 and I gave 200. I was going to give the guy the change as a tip but upon returning my change he had shorted me by 50. The amount I careless but what bothered me is stealing from me. read more

Supposedly known for their micheladas.... Literally the WORST drink i've ever had in my life. The meat is ridiculously dry, I ordered asada, carnitas and al pastor tacos... all of them were terrible. The service is horrible, we waited 30min just to get the check. Even store bought chips and salsa is better than what they serve at this place. I definitely do not recommend coming here. You're better off getting food from the trucks up the street. read more

This is not a $$$$ restaurant. The food is very affordable and they offer big portions!!! We were looking for La Parilla and got lost as we were walking to cross the street several women came and started talking to us and showing us their menu. One of them spoke English and said we will give you free drink. As we are not alcoholic drinkers the offer didn't really matter to us but the food looked good and we were hungry so we said yes. My oldest son ordered grilled shrimp while the youngest ordered grilled fish fillet. My husband ordered tacos con queso with arrachera meat and I ordered the arrachera especial. Tacos with cheese and arrachera meat was 20 pesos each and they were delicious. I got a few bites off my husband's plate. I'm glad he ordered 4 tacos. My plate was pretty big and had tender, juicy, and flavorful beef. This cost 100 pesos which at an exchange rate of 16 pesos/dollar translates to about $6.25. Not bad for a steak like dinner platter. My meal was served with guacamole, onions, and beans. My son loved his shrimp plate and my other son's fish was very good as well. There were many pieces of fish fillet and he shared them with me. I enjoyed the flavor of the fish. We cleaned up all of our food. We were pleasantly surprised to find this gem of a place for a very reasonable price. Bonus: Their salsa is very good! Oh and they gave us one virgin pina colada drink that they split into two glasses for our boys. We would definitely come back again when we are in Cancun. read more

Amazing deals for beer. 5 XX beers for $130 pesos. Griselda was an amazing server. She was very kind and made sure we were okay for a majority of the evening. read more

Looks are deceiving for sure. For the amount of people they have out advertising the place and trying to get you to eat there I was very disappointed that we even stopped. LINDA was our waitress or at least should have been. We got sat and she took a long time to get our drinks after that she disappears. We flagged down another worker because we were ready to order and it had been about 15 minutes since we even ordered our drinks. They said we needed to order through our waitress and I explained to them we didn't know where she was. You can tell the workers were confused on where Linda went but none of them took initiative to try and help us out with getting some food. A few minutes went by and by that time I was annoyed that another worker couldn't get our order for the food so I told them I wanted our check for the two drinks we got. I was so frustrating that as many workers as they had that no one was able to help but Linda. Don't waste your time coming here , once they sit you down they don't care about you. They instead go and try and flag more people to come and eat there read more

Incredibly average food, and simply not worth the price. Nice people and good service, but there was a distinct lack of quality in all of the dishes. read more
