El Poblano - This is what they call a sopapilla. But it's really not. Does taste ok, just isn't a sopapilla.

Always fresh. Great people. Ambiance is not bad. Needs a little touch up painting…read more My favorite thing is the big ol frosty mug for the draft beer.

I came back and tried their sopapilla while waiting for my to-go lunch order. It came out quickly…read morewhile I was waiting. Unfortunately, it really wasn't a Sapia at all. It was more like a fried flour tortilla with honey on it. (I asked for only honey they usually add Cinnamon,). A real sopapilla is fluffy because the dough puffs up when fried correctly. Personally, I'd like to bite the end off, then squeeze, honey into the hot sopapilla, then roll it around in my hand a little before eating. But alas, this wasn't that. I guess it's an OK dessert if you like something with the texture of a soft cracker with honey or cinnamon on it. But if you know what a soap is, you will be greatly disappointed and I suggest you just pass. The rest of the lunch was great, just like the first time. This time I tried a chicken chimichanga with the side of guacamole to top it. My wife had another burrito grande because she loved it so much the first time. Still, acute little place that we will frequent. Staff is still friendly and the service is good. I'll post a picture of what they call a sopapilla so if you want to look up pictures on the Internet and compare, the difference will be obvious. Anyway, still a great little place and frankly given that this little Mexican restaurant is in the middle of East Tennessee it's still really good.
