Seafood Platter
Jaimi D.

This little place is hiding behind Dairy Queen. There is more than plenty of parking. It is decorated like a typical Mexican restaurant, in America. The menu has a wide variety. Kids menu has a little but of everything. Tacos, quesadillas, grilled cheese, chicken strips. There is definitely something for everyone. They have good drink specials too. The food was delicious and the service was amazing! Everyone was friendly and our drinks were never empty.

Incredible carved and painted decor

The food was really good on a Sunday, late lunch. We had our go-to orders for when we are trying a new Mexican restaurant: Chile Rellenos for me and Mushroom Quesadilla for my husband. Lots was left from the large portions for lunch the next day. What was outstanding here was the incredible amount of carved, painted decoration. Every surface was covered! I know others have posted photos, but I'm posting some more anyhow. It's an explosion of color and details. Just... WOW!

I took the family to try the Mexican in Spencer. We thought it was good. The service was good and the restaurant was clean. The prices were average. The food is on the spicy side but had a good taste. We would eat here again.

What a fun and festive place! We had delicious food and excellent service. Friendly staff! Chips and tasty salsa on the table as soon as we were seated. I had the carne asada and it was great, served on a sizzling platter. My husband and his cousin had shrimp quesadillas and steak and shrimp fajitas. Everything was delicious, hot and fresh. And the decor is something to see! If you don't want a meal, come to the colorful bar and have a beverage.

Outdoor seating.

Great Mexican food. Went for lunch and service was fast and courteous and food was fantastic. The portions are very generous and the plates are warm. After asking for a hotter salsa I was given a container of green salsa with the consistency of sour cream. It tasted much like roasted jalapeños with tomatillos and was very good. The decor inside was very unique and reminded me a lot of being in Mexico. They also have outdoor seating.

Everything is great especially the nachos! If you have the time stop here and get a taste of south of the border style.

They have an interesting parking lot here and it usually feels a bit congested. But there usually are spots to be found no matter how busy they are. The go to order for my family is the ACP chicken which is basically chicken on the beach or Mexican rice loaded with chicken strips and smothered in queso. What's better than that?! Another family favorite is the chicken and steak fajita mix. It comes with rice and beans as well as several tortillas and lettuce, guacamole, pico and sour cream. Any order placed whether in the Resturant or carry out is served with fresh crispy tortilla chips and their amazing salsa. The salsa is sweet with just a hint of spice and I could seriously put it on everything! Definitely recommend stopping in here for a meal if you are ever in the Odon area! They do have a sister Resturant in Bloomfield as well with the same great service and food!

Fun spot in Odon, always a good time. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel welcome. The food is…read morewhat you would expect for a Mexican restaurant in the middle of rural Indiana. I really enjoy the salsa they have with the chips, it's perfect. Burritos are not as good as some of the other menu items so I would recommend going with a combo plate.

I LOVE LA POBLANA! If you don't listen to any of my reviews, please listen to this one. Not only is…read moreLa Poblana my favorite food truck, but I would argue that it is one of my favorite mexican spots I've ever been to. First, the food is absolutely amazing. I've visited La Poblana more times than I can count, so I've tried almost everything on the menu. Tacos, Quesadillas, Burritos, they have it all. This visit, I ordered the Chicken Burrito with a side of chips and guacamole. The burrito was incredible. La Poblana does an incredible job of balancing out each ingredient. There's never too much of each ingredient. It's always just right. The guacamole is so flavorful and tastes amazing with anything you could possibly buy. One of my favorite things about La Poblana is that you get to pick what salsa you want with your meal. I always get a side of both the mild green salsa as well as the spicy red salsa. Both of them are delicious compliments to your meal. Finally, you will never have better customer service. The people who run the La Poblana truck are so incredibly friendly and kind. Every single time I order, I am greeted with a huge smile, and they take such pride in serving their delicious food. If you are in the Bloomington, Indiana area, go check out this truck. I promise you, you will not regret it. God Bless America and God Bless Food! Your friend, Dan Hanis
