It is a relaxed atmosphere, you could be in a hurry or just cruising the town... take it easy and enjoy the food. Authentic. Very tasty. Many options that you won't find at other places.

We were searching for a late lunch after a funeral and found this on Yelp. (That's practically the…read moreonly way you'll find it if you don't live here.) It's an open area on the lower level of what used to be a mini-mall. There are offices and shops on the main floor and Los Amores is downstairs. If you have trouble with stairs, there is an elevator but you have to search for it. It's not immediately noticeable from the street level. This seems to be a family-run restaurant. Since it was so late for lunch there weren't many people there, but I heard one woman say she comes there every day for lunch. I got the shrimp tacos and added avocado slices. The tacos were very good! We also got fried ice cream and THAT was terrific. I would definitely come back. I didn't care for the complimentary chips and salsa. Don't know why, but that's just what I thought at the time. There was a sign saying they have Trivia Night and other events throughout the week.

The chips were from flour tortillas. It's a nice twist…read more Food was food. Milanesa was made how it's supposed to be. I look forward to returning.

Among all the Mexican or Tex Mex options within a 30 minute drive from my campus, La Poblanita is by far my favorite. Tucked away in a strip mall building, and at the back of a Mexican grocery lies the most authentic Mexican in Grant County. Not only is it a great lunch spot, but the grocery offers very unique treats and drinks for ppl like me who get tired of the having the same food all the time. Now the food is simple in presentation and variety, as Mexican food should be. No fiestaware or hand-painted tile floors--it doesn't need that. Can't go wrong with almost any of the tacos or burritos. On the other hand, pass on the battered chicken torta. Nothing special. The Horchata is TO DIE FOR. My roommate had it for the first time and said, "Where has this been my whole life?!?" Also, I never have boasted about anyone's complimentary chips and salsa, but jeez! Their corn chips are perfectly sweet and crunchy and their salsa verde is the such a great balance of spicy and flavorful. Bring a friend, or come alone. Either way, you'll be treated with respect and get to see a side of Marion worth knowing about.

As fearful as I was about getting Mexican food in Indiana, Casa Brava's pics, menu, and beer list pulled me in. "But it's in a Starbucks parking lot," said my sister. I peeked in, said "doce" in Spanish to the host, and two lovely ladies got busy putting tables together and quickly equipping them with warm chips and fresh salsa. Being Indiana, I still played it safe and went with asada tacos, complete with thinly-shaved onion, cilantro, and juicy limes just like back home. The meat was fully marinated and dripping with flavor. My side of frijoles, just like they are at every Sonora spot in my neighborhood. The 24-oz Modelo was fresh and went down way too easy. They were even nice enough to snap some group photos. If you want a little taste of Mexico while in Marion, Indiana, Casa Brava is your spot.

I go here often, it's a preferred spot for mexican food. The fact I am rating three stars is…read moreentirely due to the dining experience being so inconsistent. The entrees and food are fantastic in my opinion [typically]. Normally dining solo, I am not a table that requires a lot of check-ins, extra additions, etc. However, I feel as if I never get a chance to get a refill drink/finish my meal before I'm just done with it because I have ran out of a drink for 20+ minutes. At that point I'm just begging for a box and to pay the check. The other inconsistency that has gotten better but was noticed was the salsa. Sometimes it was super watery and unflavorful and other times was perfect. It was a spectrum across the waiter/waitresses. That being said, I have overlooked it on the regular by going there about 8 times in the last 6 months.

They start with the basics--burrito, nachos, quesadilla, protein bowl and wraps. Then you tell them what you want in it. There are so many things to choose from. My favorite is the nachos. I have them keep the chips on the side, then I can mix all the ingredients together and make a fantastic chip dip. The amount of food is enough for me to eat it at least twice. The ambiance has a warm feeling and is always clean. There are outdoor tables as well, if you enjoy that. I highly recommend eating at this establishment, or getting it to go, if you prefer.

A nice younger man took care of us on the patio. The menu was quite eclectic and unique. The tortilla chips and cold bean dip was a great way to start.
