Pretty decent. The staff are very sweet and prompt and while the menu leans towards Tex-Mex, I found an enchiladas poblanas on it which were an ample portion and very authentic in preparation. The chicken in them was a bit dry, probably cooked earlier for including in a multitude of recipes, but the rice was very good and the sauce was as well. The restaurant has a festive atmosphere and they had a Mexican soccer game on TV which, as a huge soccer fan, I enjoyed seeing. I happened upon this place at an odd hour, so it wasn't busy, but I noticed the other folks eating were all Mexican-Americans which is always a good sign. Per the quality/taste, normally I'd only give three stars but Mountain City just isn't the biggest place around, you know? Given the size of this community and friendliness of the staff, I will give a full four stars. I feel this is a solid and probably dependable place to go for Mexican if in the area. read more

Poblanos Mexican Grill - Enchiladas! - Mexican Near Me - Mountain City, Tennessee

The food is terrible! No seasoning or spices in the tacos or burritos I have tried. The salsa is watery and bland. Worst Mexican food I've ever had. Gave it several tries, never again! read more

So good! I got a burrito and it was one of the best ones I've had from a Mexican restaurant. Great service. We enjoyed it

If you want food poisoning, eat at Poblanos. If you do eat there, race straight home and plan to spend the rest of your day on your toilet.

This was so so good. The chips and salsa bar was cool. The prices were amazing and food absolutely delicious. Coke was just right. Service was excellent. Def wish there was one in Tampa like this. Loved it. read more

Food is always delicious. Service is great. Would definitely recommend eating here. Music isn't to loud and it's always calm read more

I'm giving it a 3 because I wanted to give it a 4 and my husband said 2. I ordered the #9 and it was so good. I also ordered fried ice cream. It wasn't fried at all but it was decent My husband said "I ordered the pork street tacos and they were dry, not much flavor, and 1 entire taco was just gristle and fat that was completely inedible. The fried ice cream was just plain vanilla rolled in corn flakes and tasted like a freezer. The chips and salsa were ok, but that's because the salsa was pretty bland but I like the thickness. The refried beans and Spanish rice with queso however was delicious. That's why it's 2 and not 1.5" The staff was really nice though read more

Initial impression: Picasso did something to this place let me tell you. Now onto drinks, straw wrapper was dipped a bit too far into my water. Salsa was not "tomato paste" don't believe that other woman on here. My food was good but nothing special. Tortas are massive. Pic is of me post experience! read more

Poblanos Mexican Grill - a woman in a car - Mexican Near Me - Mountain City, Tennessee

This is a top favorite place for us! The food is excellent, and if there is a mistake, they are quick to correct it. The service is friendly. The prices are very good. I always have special requests, and they are very happy to accommodate me. I highly recommend if you are in Mountain City. Note, they are very busy after church on Sunday as well as on Friday and Saturday dinner. Don't let that deter you though! read more

Great food and service. We've never had a bad meal at Poblanos. Everything is fresh and tasty.

The staff is horrible. My father is blind and when he asked for salsa they told him he needed to get it himself. When he said he childbearing see the colors or types of salsa, their response was "too bad" I hope they go out of business. read more

The whole experience was not good. Food was very salty and not tasty. Chicken and steak were very over cooked. Would not recommend.

Honestly dissatisfied. I downloaded Yelp JUST to give them a review. Completely baffled by their decision to place tomato paste down as a table salsa, and that they try to pass off three soggy tortillas with a scoop of watered down refried beans in them as burritos. The vegetarian menu lead me to believe that an equal and adequate substitute for meat would be offered, however when our food was delivered we asked for a manager right away. When I asked for clarification as to why my "bean burrito" was a tortilla leaking its only contents of refried, pulverized, diluted bean paste... the manager asked if I had specified what should be in the burrito upon ordering. -because I mentioned expecting black or pinto beans. We asked for the check instead of arguing over their sad excuse for Mexican food, and politely left. I'm upset we paid $20 for a meal we legitimately didn't eat. Don't be fooled by "vegetarian" on their menu... that shit is a joke and I'm happy to help another vegetarian out by sharing my experience. 0 stars. read more

My wife and I ate here while passing through the area. We walked in and were immediately met, greeted, & were showed to a booth. We were giving our menus & asked for our drink order, which were immediately brought back to us. We ordered the same thing, so I can't tell of multiple dishes. We ordered beef taco salad s and they were excellent. If not maybe too large, but hey who's complaining . Pleasant service, clean, cozy, & inexpensive. The whole meal with tip was around $15. read more

I made this account because I saw that someone said the refried beans were a bit runny- and I concur. Although it is concerning, I won't let the viscosity of my beans ruin the meal. The food was great and customer service superb. I got the ACP with pineapple and I was skeptical at first, but it was tasty. There was a picture of a donkey on the table and it was cool. I give it 4 table donkeys out of 5 table donkeys and at the end of the day I'd recommend it to a friend. read more

The fajitas were very tasty. One of the other people I had dinner with had their food a little over cooked. The staff was very friendly, the prices were extremely fair and the quantity was just right. I've never had a Mexican restaurant really stand out as superb but this one easily holds its own . read more

Ignore the bad reviews. This place is great. We don't live here but were passing through and stopped in. Get any one of the ACP dishes and you'll be happy - I can't speak to any of the other food. We live in Texas and this is better than most places around Dallas. Also, we have a house in Florida near Orlando and this is better than most places around there as well. I wonder if the people in this little town know how good they have it? read more

Great ambiance. Friendly but inattentive staff. My two adult sons and I were eager for a big meal after a weekend backpack at Grayson Highlands. Reviews looked acceptable and we didn't want to wait until Boone to hit places we were familiar with. So out of hunger we took a chance. The menu options were outstanding and reasonable prices. Ordered a ton of food. The tamales and Chile rellenos showed up after a 20+ min wait. And they were cold. Ever had a cold chili relleno? The huevos rancheros were slightly warmer. The food was typical of a small Mexican restaurant- I've been to the same exact type of place in practically every city I've spent time in. Nothing exceptional but your there for a big meal that's decent and not pricey. Fresh nacho chips. Mind you we were starving so we were a pretty easy bunch. But waiting a while for cold food? Disappointed. This is the kind of food you expect to come out with oven mitts PIPING HOT. I would have given this place three stars if everything came out hot, but we will never come back here. I'm kind of glad that nobody asked how things were at any point in the experience. Didn't have the energy to make a stink. read more

My husband and I really enjoy the food at Poblano's. The only downside for me is the runny refried beans. They tend to make the tortilla's mushy. read more

Everyone here is always so friendly! I always feel welcomed. Highly recommend stopping by here, not only is the service great but the food is even better! read more

Excellent choice in MC! Friendly staff, good food. Have been here set times and always good

I have been disappointed with this restaurant in my opinion I will not recommend it but everybody has a different opinion

WASTE OF $20 ...After Excitedly choosing Pablanos Mexican Grill due to exclusive specific vegetarian options on their menu....we were extremely displeased to learn that "one bean burrito, one cheese burrito, and a Chalupa" was three soggy tortillas stuffed with diluted refried bean paste slopped with mediocre red sauce for seven dollars. After asking for clarification on the menu we were met with resistance, asked for the check, and left politely. Rather than offering to fix the food or change a meal, the manager said it was not their fault since they had been an establishment for well over 10 years. The manager seemed to believe that after saying it was our first visit, the fault was ours. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR ACTUAL MEXICAN FOOD. We didnt even order our to-go food for a friend back home. Would give them 0 stars, but their guacamole mexicano was delicious. read more

Very colorful, authentic mexican decor and great food, very filling and tasty. Ordered the Number 3 lunch special which included a beef taco, beef enchilada, rice, and beans. Asked for water and waiter brought out two non-refrigerated bottles of water. Would have liked them cold. Had to ask for ice. Other than that a good place. read more

I Love this food. I am never disappointed. White cheese sauce and chips are delish. I usually order the enchilada supreme, it's my favorite. Employees are very nice. read more

Average Mexican restaurant but probably above average with the limited choices around. The service is always excellent. A new salsa bar in the back allows you to try a variety of different salsas complimentary. Prices are very reasonable and portions are good. read more

If you happen to be passing through Mountain City, this place is worth a stop. It has a very festive decor, and the people are quite friendly. The food is typical Mexican restaurant fare, but a bit better than normal. read more

Definitely worth the trip. Above average Mexican food paired with comparatively low prices is a winning combination. The only thing keeping this place from a 5 star rating in my opinion is the inconsistency. Most days the food is excellent, other days it is so-so. read more

Family owned eatery that serves up excellent food and lots of it. And the prices are AMAZING. This will be a go to restaurant for us now that we have relocated to Mountain City. The chips and salsa they bring out for free are fresh and delicious. I had the enchiladas and they where fantastic. Look forward to having many more meals here. read more

One of the better and more consistent places to eat in Mountain City. When I'm in town, I always make sure I eat here at least once. Have had many different items, all are above average Mexican fare. Service is typically quick. read more

We where traveling through and speed here because my wife is vegetarian and this is one of the only places we could both be happy eating at. The food was decent. We ordered to go and everything came separate. Inside is very colorful! Lots of art. read more

I've been here now at least a couple of times a week. I like it. The food is good, they give you plenty and the price is right. The salsa bar in back is nice and has a variety of salsa's. They have taco tuesdays taco's are $.99 cents. The owner has been in the business over 20 years and their opening a bar next door soon. If your in Mountain City stop in it's good food. read more

While traveling stopped here as recommended by gas station attendant. It was fast & fresh, but very bland. Waiters & host very friendly. It was clean & colorful. A+ for decor & C- for food. I'm from California, so maybe that explains the difference in taste from Californian Mex food to Tennesee mex-food. :) read more

So far, the salsa and guacamole have been awful. Beef burritos are tasteless. How can you ruin rice and beans? Rellenos were frozen not home made. read more

This place is absolutely disgusting. The beef tastes like dog food. The salsas have a suspicious film over them. The pineapple salsa looked like a pile of snot. The table salsa was tomato paste. Zero seasoning on all of the food. This is a joke of a Mexican restaurant. Go to Taco Bell. I feel sorry for the people that love this restaurant and think this is real Mexican food. My girlfriend and I ate one bite of our food and left. RUN. THIS IS NOT A DRILL read more

Good food before the past two weeks but not so much anymore. Food poisoning both times I've gotten food from there

We've been here several times and all I can say is each time it gets BETTER and BETTER! LOVED our first visit and nothing here has ever disappointed us. Portions are VERY generous so do come hungry. Everyone there is so welcoming and the hospitality makes each visit special. Big shout out to Mirna who has served us several times and she's just a bonus to to Poblanos. read more

Very good. Service, food quality, taste and price are extremely good. I see the posts below say good things but they leave 3 stars which is odd. I have tried a few things on the menu and have not be disappointed. I will continue to come back the next time I am in the area, it is my #1 find so far. read more

Worst experience ever. Overcharged us, restaurant not clean and worst service I've ever had.

Friendly, warm and colorful atmosphere with above average Mexican fare.
