Authentic Mexican food not made by el gringo. The food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. I will be honest the place is not necessarily inviting and the decor is not the best but the food makes up for it. It is a bit dark inside but once again the authentic dishes make up for it. These folks have been here like forever. They have been great in the community so I support them. Bottom line if you are willing to go to a food truck or get gringo Mexican food, then do yourself a favor and visit these folks. In addition you don't want to eat in you can order take out. read more

placed and order, missed the call and they refused to send back the order or refund. called for over 2 hours and at the end of it all they all laughed together about the situation. Very unprofessional and dirty business. The man behind the phone was being really ignorant. read more

Awesome food but do wish they were a bit more attentive. Had their seafood soup and tacos. Definitely give them a try.

Imagine yourself walking into someones house, who insists on decorating with paper mache, tinfoil and tinsel. Every 8 minutes a random spanish song emitts out of the jukebox at top volume, effectively preventing you from hearing the spanish soap on the TV. Then the food comes and all the short comings of the atmosphere are forgiven. Saying that portions are generous is an understatement. Prices are reasonable, food is fresh and the service is always very friendly. read more

La Poblanita Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

Once you walk through the doorway into what appears to be a converted house and get past the (exceptionally) loud karaoke singer you will be seated in a somewhat dark, somewhat sticky dining room with tacky paint and wobbly tables. Don't be fooled however, as this is some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. The burritos are STUFFED with steak, and not the 2nd rate steak you find at most places; premium quality steak with nan an ounce of gristle. $9.95 for the burrito including a side of rice and beans! The steak alone was probably worth $6 had you went to the grocery store and bought it yourself; it was seriously that chock-full-o-beef!! Also, the guacamole was excellent and clearly homemade fresh to-order. Our waitress was extra friendly and seemed like she was the granddaughter of the old Mexican abuela who, at least in my mind, was out back peeling avocados. The place was full of Mexicans grabbing a beer and dinner after work, mixed in with a few young people on dates. It was very loud inside so conversation was limited but we were too busy stuffing our faces with delicious food to care. read more

Authentic Mexican, I eat lunch here at least 4 times a month. I always have their famous Chimichanga con arroz y frijoles with a Bohemia beer. The waitresses are always super nice and professional. A friend from work said this the best Mexican in CT. It's definitely the best in the Bridgeport metro area. read more

Love the food, but my ears are still ringing from the singer and his music. The staff says there is only entertainment on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so I recommend La Poblanita as a weekday restaurant! The carnitas are delicious. read more

Best Mexican authentic food we have found in Fairfield county. Best part, they deliver! If you don't like Karaoke, loud singers or Mexican soaps, don't eat in, just have it delivered. Regarding the bad reviews on this site, I imagine it's hard to find an authentic Mexican food place where everyone speaks perfect English. This place did have issues in the past, but now they go to lengths to get a fluent English speaker on the phone. We used to have an issue here and there with the language barrier, but the owner,Maria, gave me her cell number and says to call her directly. She even delivers it to us herself. They work very hard to make the English speaking customers happy! We love them! read more

I have been a customer of this restaurant for a long time but today I was disappointed I ordered some mixed nachos I start to eat and after a bit I find a piece of rubber I think it was the rubber of the headphones I was very disgusted and I started to vomit just like my cousin and me daughter I called them back and asked them for my refund and they refused, claiming that they would send me other nachos but no one wanted to and they didn't give me my money back very bad, dirty !!!! read more

I absolutely love this place! Best Mexican food in Fairfield county. The service is great and everyone is really friendly. The nachos, chimichangas and quesadillas are great. Love their salsa!! read more

Coming to Fairfield for the summer from Tucson, AZ has got me seriously hankering for some good Mexican food. La Poblanita was exactly what I was looking for! Their enchiladas poblanas are really excellent, especially when paired with a cold Negro Modelo to the stirring soundtrack of a ridiculous karaoke guy who sings while you eat. I'm going with four stars instead of five because -- let's be real -- this isn't the best Mexican food I've ever had. But it's far and away the best Mexican food I've had around here. So give it a shot -- you won't be sorry! read more

Parking at this place is hard. But delivery is better. Even if they get lost lol. Try the fried Fish. With rice and beans. Yummy. The fish was so big and good. The best meal too eat with a glass off wine. on a tried end off work day. read more

this is a secretly hidden gem in bridgeport. the food is decent. probably their best dish is chimichanga, but everything is quite good. you come her for the festive atmosphere. what gets me is the live mariachi on weekends. mariachi in bridgeport? why not, i guess? this is the icing on the mexican cake. it really seals the deal. read more

Good food but a shit staff. They messed up my order and when I called back the one guy that spoke a little English said it was my fault. First off I have ordered with them numerous times and never had a problem but this time they where having an off night. When I first called a woman answered in Spanish and when I replied in English she had and attitude like I inconvenienced her by speaking English. I usually enjoy the food and dont mind the language barrier, but don't be rude. As if I dont deserve the minimum of decency. If you can order in Spanish you will more then likely have a 4 star experience. After reading some of the other yelp reviews I won't be ordering from them again. read more

La Poblanita is the fun kind of place that only the locals would know about. Neighborhood is somewhat sketchy, which adds to the authenticity in my opinion. Decor is mix of Mexican figurine/somebody's collection from the Old Country. Fun to have a real Mexican food experience in Connecticut-the land of homogenous chain restaurants. read more

The first time I went to this place may have been 15 years ago so it's been there a long time. Located on the first floor of what looks to me like a two family house. They have great Mexican food and the place has an authentic Mexican atmosphere. Weekends are especially lively and the wait staff are friendly and helpful. Among other Mexican favorites they have Huarache, which is basically a thick oblong tortilla filled and topped with your choice of toppings, very similar to Sopes if you've had them. A wonderful place to have a great Mexican meal. read more

10/12/12 8:00PM Currently here right now. Service is bad. The waitress doesn't even know what food they have and we waited over 30 mins to order when there was only 2 other tables here. Never cane back to check up on us and we had to get up to just get some chips! Don't know if we are coming back again. Worst service ever. read more

This food is absolutely incredible. Easily my favorite Mexican place, by far. I travel about an hour to go here and love it! Yes, when there is live music, it is extremely loud and most of the waitresses are very slow, BUT the food makes up for it all. It's delicious, inexpensive, and you get a lot of food. Their salsa is amazing. Try the steak burrito! read more

I never leave reviews but felt I had to. The food is OK but I'll order from them occasionally because they deliver. This one particular day I decided to order online. I received my confirmation and awaited my meals. I took the time to shower my two toddlers and clean up. I realized it's been 1 1/2 hours and still no food. I called them and they said oh online doesn't work. I received a confirmation on their website and they sent me an email confirmation, but it doesn't work! No apologies just place an order now and it will be there in 45 min! Are you kidding me. NEVER AGAIN, stay away from a restaurant that could care less about their mistake. read more

I've been back a bunch of times and the food is consistently good. Not sure why I didn't give them a higher rating to begin with. I love it here. read more

I have been here twice for lunch. Although the food is reasonably priced and the portions generous, it is bland and tasteless. I ordered a steak burrito (dinner), and my friend ordered a chicken burrito. Both looked ok at best, but tasted like nothing. The chips were good, but the salsa was watery. Service was non-existent, and we were forced to go to the counter to get our bill after waiting patiently for about twenty minutes. Oh, and the staff speaks no English, which was o.k. for me because my Spanish is passable. I might try them again, but I am not optimistic. There are far better places for the money and they are less aggravating. read more

Fake mexican food once again. I figured being in the ghetto might make it more authentic.... wrong... I ordered a basic mexican dish-carne asada tacos, what i got tasted like tripas (fried intestines) tacos.... I do not recommend this place to anyone read more

If your Mexican u would know the feel and the food. If your not dont judge and get use to if wanting to come back because the food is great hear. Oh yeah they all speak Spanish probably not really good English speaker. read more

I loved this place until they screwed up my order and the two ladies on the counter really didn't want to help me. Horrible customer service on their part. I will never eat here again. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The food was totally tasteless. I had a taco salad and my mom ordered cheese enchiladas. I kept adding more of their salsa to get some flavor. read more

Absolutely Terrible. Went in for a quick bite to eat. I sat down and was served tostadas and salsas. We found ROACHES in the tostadas. They must be infested. Honestly this place is disgusting, should be shut down. read more

I've only ever eaten out from this restaurant. The food was alright both times. The burritos are much plainer than I prefer, but I've been told that a lot of people like plain burritos. Once of the two times I've ordered out I found hair in my food :/ read more

Worst place ever. Don't ever Oder online because your order will never be taken. When I called to ask regarding my order the employees laughed and laughed. Extremely unprofessional. Why have a system set up if you're not going to use it.b read more
