    The service was very good . I loved my chicken bowl I even saved some of it and it taste really good even the day after. food is very delicious and fresh . Micheladas are so good too . I been to this location multiple times and I loved the food but they also need to improve the pozole cause I didn't really liked it but overall very delicious food with friendly staff.

    Shrimp and spicy res sauce

    Went here tonight. Food was good and I am likely to return. Pros: --friendly waitstaff --very good food --nice outside patio --full bar --tasty salsa Cons: --limited parking --waitstaff may forget about you --close quarters if you decide to eat inside

    Tried this adorable restaurant for first time. You feel like you're in Mexico. decor very authentic. Food was very good. Chicken enchiladas with extra tomatillo sauce was very tasty and a large plate. Homemade salsa was quite good. Tried spicy pork tacos which were very flavorful. The carne Asada taco was very good as well as the shrimp. Everything was very fresh!! Shrimp was delicious as well as beef. Finished with flan which was silky and perfect. I'll be back!

    chips

    The last time I dined at nearby City Limits Diner I noticed this place and took a mental note to try it. I needed to pick something up at Michael's last night so I decided to try here for dinner beforehand. From the outside, El Poblano doesn't look like it was originally intended to be a restaurant. It's on the first floor of a building, parking is limited to a few marked spaces in the building's lot, and the outdoor seating area is on a narrow rectangular porch area. It works, it just doesn't look like the space was fully converted into a restaurant. The inside is relatively small, but they make good use of the space. A few tables, a bar in the back, and a semi-open kitchen. We were started with the obligatory chips and salsa. These chips were super crispy, but I liked them - they weren't warm but kind of felt like they were house made (maybe??). The salsa was good too - finely chopped, not chunky at all. There's pretty good variety on the menu - your typical Mexican restaurant selection. Additionally, they serve breakfast and have a selection of tortas and seminas. I decided to go with the enchiladas rancheras; you have a choice of chicken or beef, and it's served with salsa, sour cream, lettuce, avocado, radish, onions, and grated cheese. The enchiladas were okay - the tortillas they're served in are corn, so the integrity of them can weaken after a while. The flavor was okay, but I will say it was kind of spicy. I wasn't a fan of the rice and beans the dish was served with, I've had better. Service was fast and friendly - they use iPads to take orders which helps with efficiency. They also don't have a soda fountain, so beverages are served in bottles (though they give you a cup with ice and will pour it out for you). There's nothing really wrong with El Poblano, but I wouldn't come up to White Plains just to eat here again - good if you're in the area, but not a destination restaurant.

    Wednesday I was hungry by 8pm and wished to eat something delicious and it happened I decided to order from this place and I regret to cz they are terrible in accurate food as I got different from what I expected: ordered two Tortas Cubanas and I got chicken sandwiches , i called the.place and claim the right food and I never got what I ordered, probably I will never order again from this place as this is the third time it happened and never enjoyed they mistakes they always make.

    Came here today with my wife to try some authentic Mexican food. I ended up ordering enchilada rancheras as my main dish, they should've changed the name to enchiladas in vodka sauce. Only highlight of our dinner is that our waitress was very nice, but I wouldn't come back here again..

We ordered the chicken sandwich, the spicy chicken sandwich, and the house burger. Overall, the food was good. I had the spicy chicken sandwich and enjoyed it, although I was expecting a bit more heat. It was flavorful but tasted milder than I anticipated. The desserts looked beautiful (as you can see in the photo). I didn't try one myself, so I can only share what my friends said. They thought they were good, though nothing particularly memorable. It was an extremely hot day, so we were looking forward to ordering sangria. Unfortunately, even though it's listed on the menu, they weren't serving it, which was a little disappointing. The service was good, friendly and attentive, though fairly average overall. One thing I will say is that I prefer the atmosphere in the evenings. The vibe feels more lively and enjoyable than it does during lunchtime.

They offered red or white wine to the guests as well as passed out champagne at the beginning for the toast. Later they had coffee or tea to go with the dessert. The food varied. The appetizers, spicy shrimp and Italian meatballs, were addictive. The arugula salad was nicely presented and flavors meshed well. The pasta with peas was al dented. The side dishes of mixed vegetables and potatoes were decent. The main dishes were hit or miss. There were three: salmon, steak, and chicken marsala. The salmon was flavorful but a little dry. The chicken marsala was very dry and was saved by the delicious sauce with mushrooms. The best was the steak which was perfectly tender and medium rare. The dessert was some small pastries and fruit which was presented nicely. It is a very classy place with good service.

The chocolate chip pancakes didn't need syrup at all. Portions were good. 5/5 Only thing that didn't go quite as well was the wait time. Waited a long time for the food to come out. Understandable. It was a busy Sunday. When the food came out we were a few minutes into our meal and we ordered another side of eggs. Never came, even after we finished our plates.

Came on a Saturday and was expecting there to be a long wait, especially when the lobby area had two parties waiting. I was surprised when there were at least 10 empty tables and no one at the host stand. We waited for several minutes to the point I seriously questioned if this was a What Would You Do segment and started looking for John quinones. The party of two in front of us ended up leaving when they were told the wait for 2 was 30 minutes. We decided to wait the 30 minutes, and the party of two who came in after us was told the wait was only 10 minutes. We were seated shortly after. On the menu, there's a note that the Dutch baby takes a longer time to prepare but it came out at the same time as our other food. I was again unpleasantly surprised--the speed came at the price of quality. You can see how fluffy the Dutch baby was in the pic from 12 years ago compared to today's, where it was more of a crepe than a bread "pudding". Still tasted decent after you add the lemon and powdered sugar that they give on the side, but texture was definitely lacking. The side pancakes with our other dishes were a tad salty. We did notice managers walking around, so at least management is aware that there's something they're messing up. Hopefully they figure it out because this used to be a favorite.

I ordered the egg and cheese biscuit with the help of the cashier, I didn't get her name and it's on the receipt but I threw it out. Even though this was not a vegan dish, who could pass on a collosal cheese biscuit. The egg was a nice accompaniment to this cheese biscuit also. The lady that gave me the biscuits said, wow! That smells nice. I thought she was giving me a compliment on the order until I sniffed the bag. Normally I don't do well with my sense of smell but, boy oh boy! That was a gooooooood smelling biscuit. And the taste, it tastes so good, it makes you want to slap yo momma. (Don't do it, it just makes you want to slap her.) Needless to say, I really enjoyed this cheese biscuit. In hindsight I guess I could have grabbed a hot drink, maybe next time, and there will be a next time because I told the lady that this was my first time and at the restuarant and I'm new in the area. She said she's looking forward to seeing me again. I'm looking forward to more eats and treats or treats and eats. Whatever it is, just ... Inspire more, Yelp more!

They have a program to text when your table was ready, so we went for a walk in the neighborhood while we waited. A surprisingly short time later, we received the text that our table was ready! The menu(s) had a wonderful selection of food and drinks, along with some specials. They do use a QR code for their menus, but noticed they also had paper menus upon request. Our server was friendly and attentive. The other members of staff would also check in as they passed by. My boyfriend enjoyed the PB & J Latte along with the creole shrimp Benedict. He said it was seasoned well, right level of spice, stated the eggs were poached perfectly, and really enjoyed how moist the cornbread was. I indulged with the "Tipsy Palmer" which is an Arnold Palmer with Bourbon in it. To be honest, there wasn't much of a bourbon taste to it, if any at all, but for a summer brunch drink, it was refreshing. For my entree, I chose the chicken Caesar sliders. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed as the brioche buns seemed a little on the stale/stiff side. The homemade caesar dressing was delicious, but they only coated the lettuce in it which resulted in a bit of a dry slider. I believe the sliders would benefit from a bit of the dressing at least on the bottom of the bun. I asked for (and received) a side of the dressing to bring home to dress up my remaining sliders. Lastly, and I know this is extremely minor, but the silverware was placed incorrectly (knife and fork reversed with the knife edge in the wrong direction). Again, I am WELL AWARE this is minor, but for me, sometimes the minor details are the things that stand out. Overall, a wonderful experience and will try them again at a later date.

We do notice two empty tables outside but understood that maybe they don't want to seat people and overwhelm the kitchen. After about 10 mins of waiting we're offered one of the tables that had been empty. (Which were outside). No menus given but we noticed the QR codes. Guy comes by and drops off cups w ice and a carat of water. Waiting... waiting.... Finally another server comes and asks if we'd like to order drinks. Yes, and our meals bc we've been sitting here for quite some time. We get our coffees and there's a lot of grinds at the bottom of the cups, server switches it out. We finally get our food and two of the three meals were not hot, not even warm. But we're hungry and eat but when the server checks in my sister says "honestly for as long as we waited we would've expected hotter food, these two (egg dishes) are cold." He apologizes and says he'll let the manager know. The manager, who I can only assume is Lisa (based on the responses I'm seeing here on Yelp) came out and said I hear the food is cold? And was very aggressive right off the bat. Saying everything comes right out of the kitchen and to the table, we don't have heat lamps. Offers to "reheat" the food (but how, the microwave?) we're already half way thru the dishes as we had waited a long time. My sister tried to express that after waiting for a table, service and grounds in the coffee that this was disappointing - the manager interjects w "well did you tell him did he give you a new one" She does NOT take criticism very well, she's abrasive and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. She then came out (after I assume finding out the whole story and how long we had been there) she said she would take the two items off the bill, which we weren't gunning for. As we just gave honest feedback when asked how everything was. We then noticed her come and check in on the other tables outside bc people who got there well after us also got their food at the same time... As much as I'd want to come back and try it again bc the promise is there. The manager was such a turn off, that I would be spending my money there, again.
