I tried something new today The Huaraches. It looked interesting and I tried one with Chorizo. It also has cheese, onions, and lettuce. It was on top of something similar to a Tortilla. It was very good!! I always enjoy great service and I enjoy their Salsa and Chips. They you a Verde and Roja Salsa. I enjoy mixing them and coming up that's different. One day I'll have to try their Enchiladas. read more

Ordered two pounds of barbocoa this morning Feb 15 2026 not satisfied with my order it looks like brisket instead of cheekmeat

Service was quick. He was so nice and got to me so quickly. He kept checking up on me to make sure if I needed something else. The dinning area was so clean and spacious. The menudo that I ordered was hot and fresh. The tortillas are freshly made as well. This was my first time here and I will be back. read more

The caldo de pollo was delicious! It was exactly what I needed when I was sick. The tacos were good too.

From the outside, this place is super unassuming. For the years I have passed it, with the generic "Mexican Restaurant" sign lighting the sky, I have driven by imagining a place that sells individual tacos and has no place to sit. I WAS WRONGGGGGG. Friday, I finally decided to give it a try. It is a seat yourself place (though there is no sign directing you to do so). Inside, it is not much to look at. Between the mounted old box TV's, the fundraiser lollipops on the cashier stand and the stocks of canned sodas stacked under some old signange, you get the feeling that this place has some tenure. The place is actually a pretty large building. There is ample seating, and even tables for big families. The staff is a skeleton crew, but the place was pretty quiet. They offer canned sodas, homemade aqua frescas and horchata. They don't default to bringing you a water, but will if you ask. You get one basket of chips, and they bring out two squeeze bottles of salsas. A sign on the wall says "Extra Chips, $1." The red salsa really has a kick. I liked this. The green salsa is really mild, but has a complex, tasty flavor. I spent most of my time with the red one. The menu isn't complex, and is much more "Tex-Mex friendly" than one may believe from the aesthetics. If you order the enchiladas they ask if you would like red sauce of green sauce. The waitress said "The red and the green like those," and pointed at the salsa squeeze bottles. I enjoyed the red, so I said red. However, the script flipped. The green actually had more heat to it, and the red tasted of a heavy tomato base. Granted, the red was good for enchiladas, but it had a distinct tomato taste that was more akin to a pasta or pizza. I enioyed the meal. The rice and beans were on point, and the overall fulfilling food made up for the food being served on styrofoam plates. The waitress was kind and accommodating, and the location right off Cooper Street in the shopping center across from Rusty's made for a perfect dip in. I will certainly return, and I suggest that if you are considering it that you give it a try. Whether you are one that doesn't venture past Taco Bueno, or one of those that orders the wild looking menu item that is a fried fish with the head still on, you will likely find something satisfying. read more

Had to drop off car @ Safelite this morning, so instead of sitting around for 2-3 hours, walked south down Cooper about 15 minutes & had a DELIGHTFUL late breakfast/early lunch @ La Poblana's. What a happy find this little gem is! Hubby had 3 breakfast tacos (sausage, chorizo & a bacon all with cheese & eggs). So good! Especially the sausage. I opted for the 3 chicken enchiladas in Verde sauce. Wow! Fresh, good & great, friendly service. Reasonable prices. Definitely worth the walk down Cooper. Now gotta walk this meal off back to the Safelite place. In a bit, might need to try another dish...better to wait here!! read more

La Poblana Restaurant - Sign - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Y'all, the staff is soooo nice. The food is amazing - fresh and hot. Clean but not flashy interior. I've been coming here for a few years and finally got my hubby and kid there - they're now hooked, too! Please give this hole in the wall a chance - you'll be happy! read more

Wow the food is delicious. The negative of this restaurant is,The lack of attentiveness, communication, understanding, and clarity is lacking. read more

Best tacos I have found in DFW to date. Coming from CA and Las Vegas I have been spoiled with real authentic Mexican food for so long not much hits the mark for me. This place was legit for the tacos de lengua. Highly recommend, my girl and I are going to try the menudo and tinga tomorrow! read more

Three delicious chicken enchiladas with green sauce, rice, beans, and chips for $9. That is a deal.

Craving for nachos on my way home. I asked if everything could be packed separately so I would still have crispy chips. They did a wonderful job and my nachos were delicious! read more

I pass this place often. It does look sketchy but I agree with others who reviewed. It's a Diamond in the rough. I don't speak much Spanish and the cashier did not speak much English but I managed to order Chilaquiles and two bean and cheese flour tacos. She was nice and the food was very tasty. This place is right around the corner from me and I can definitely see myself giving them more of my coins for their delicious food. Can't wait to try something else on the menu. read more

Great place to eat on a Sunday morning. Family owned, and food is tasty. As for my food it took a while but very understandable with the large groups ordering read more

We were waiting fir a long time for our food! They were serving people that came way after us! I won't be going back since it's not the first time they've done that!!! read more

I've drove by this place so many times but never once did I know it was gonna be my favorite place in all of Arlington, all tacos are delicious but my favorite are intestines and marinated pork! The salsas are very tasty and I love there flavored waters they are really 100% natural not like other lazy restaurant that just add a mix they really make it from scratch, best Authentic Mexican Restaurant in the metro plex read more

I have just moved here in June from living in a border city in West Texas. I have had enough Tex-Mex food to last a lifetime. Finding this little place was a breath of fresh air. Their food is one of the more authentic Mexican restaurants I've tried. Their salsas were spicy and flavorful. I ordered the Menudo on a Tuesday (rare,usually a weekend only soup) It was delicious! ! Full of flavor,clean taste. My husband tried the Mexican plate with 2 red enchiladas and 1 crunchy taco. He also liked the taste of the food and the spice. Our waitress was friendly and very attentive. We definitely will return. read more

Entitled "Mexican Restaraunt" on the sign outside, this random little hole in the wall offers some of the better authentic Mexican food available in the area. If you don't speak Spanish you may have a tougher time communicating with the staff but they are always nice. As far as pricing goes it's tough to beat ... most of the large combos are about 7 bucks! read more

Cali girl who participates in taco Tuesday, love Mexican food, and great service. Prices are great! Service was great! Food was delicious.

Hit or miss. Some days this place is spot on and some days it isn't. I think it just depends on your order. The breakfast burritos are super cheap and are always yummy so I recommend those. The chips and salsa are wonderful. Just be careful with your main course selection. read more

This place is a diamond in the rough. With all of the 2nd rate mexican restaurants in Arlington and surrounding towns this place really shines. La Poblana is run by a mother and daughter, and the daughter doesn't speak english which can make ordering a little challenging if you don't speak spanish, but she tries hard and always has a smile on her face. The food here is excellent. This place as the only real authentic mexican food in the area. Their steak tacos are amazing. The meat is tender with plenty of flavor. When you sit down you are served salsa and chips, but not only 1 salsa, you get 3 different kinds! Each salsa is a different flavor and has a different level of heat. They also have mexican coca-cola which is made with pure cane sugar and not the crap which is put in the soda you buy at your local grocery store. Their guacamole is fantastic, and their prices aren't bad either. If you are looking for a great mexican meal this is your place! read more

My wife and I tried this place on a whim and it was pretty good. Not the best Mexican food we've had in this area but definitely worth a visit. The portions are great for the price and the service is super friendly and courteous. read more

Friendly server but the food left a lot to be desired. The guacamole was pretty good, but it had too much onion for my taste. It seemed like our meals were cooked in a microwave. The taco meat was tasty, but the shell was stale. We had dinner at 6 pm and the restaurant was out beans! How does a Mexican restaurant run out of beans, ever?! In place of the beans we had a choice of extra rice or salad with no salad dressing. I will say, I did like the rice. read more

We purchased an Entertainment book, Passbook and these people had a coupon for buy one, get one free and it had no conditions on it. We went there at noon and got a meal that was on the lunch menu, with lunch portions. When we went to pay for it, the lady at the register said we could not use the coupon and then went and got the cook, who said that it was not good on the lunch menu, only with full priced items. We had to pay for the dinner menu price to get the discount. They had a note that tea was $1.00 from 11-1pm and didn't even want to honor that. We finally refused to pay until they got this straightened up and paid for the dinner price with a $1 tea. What a rip! If they had conditions, they should say so. I have notified Passbook about this. We got a lunch portion with dinner prices. If they wanted buy one, get 50% off the second meal, they should have listed that. We were very disappointed with this as they were close to us. We were going to leave a big tip for the waitress because of the discount, but instead only left 15% of the bill since they got the other half of the tip in non discounted prices. I hope they are happy with themselves. We eat out everyday, sometimes twice and they would have been a good place to go, but when you rip people off, no one wants to come back for seconds. There are other restaurants in the area, such as Mercado Juaren, etc. We'll go elsewhere. read more
