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.

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.

That should have been my clue to turn and run. As I'm waiting to order, there's no real sense of acknowledgment from the staff that I was waiting to order, but that should be expected I guess when all of the staff looks to be under 21. When I finally go to order a bowl, first I'm told there's no chicken and that it would be a wait. I told them that's fine and ordered steak instead. NOPE! Was told that I'd have to wait another eight minutes for that. There was absolutely no meat for an order. I backed out and just said I'll go elsewhere. Then the goof working behind the counter had the nerve to say he'd make me a "cup of queso" to which I had to ask "what am I supposed to do with that?" For a first time visit, absolutely horrendous for an empty restaurant. Safe to say I'd rather drive to Kokomo and go to Chipotle from here on out.

It was cold outside so soup sounded perfect. I also got a pepper jack grilled cheese. The soup came in a huge bowl. The combo of the soup and grilled cheese was very filling. My friends ordered the sticky pudding. I had a bite and it was delicious. I cant believe it's taken me so long to eat here. I throughly enjoyed it and cant wait for my next road trip.

In fact it is my favorite restaurant of all time. Sunday we stopped again. I had the British chicken curry and the fatoush. It was amazing as usual. That fatoush is so refreshing!

She can never finish because it's so much food, which is OK with me because I help her out some. My favorite way to eat this is to mix a little mashed potato, mustard and pork chop together into one delicious bite. We were too full for dessert, but the times that we had the dessert here were spectacular as well. Thank you to all the people that work at Paynes, please don't change anything, you are the best!
