    Very small bowl of salsa - not even full...
    Kevin-Danielle H.

    This is our usual "go to" but there has always been an issue when asking for another small bowl of salsa. They believe one tiny blk bowl is enough for two people. The problem with that is they also offer 2 spicy squeeze bottles which is great if both people liked spice. So when we ask for an extra tiny small blk bowl not even filled to brim with salsa - they get a little defensive and not as nice. I mean come on - I can drive 5 mins down the road to an establishment that has a freaking salsa bar - unlimited. This place should have been happy we were customers - we are usually 1 of 2 couples eating in there during the day. So this last trip broke the straw... we asked for another bowl like we normally do and explained that one of us doesn't like the spice from the sauces. Now we are being told it would cost extra for more. I mean they just lost customers that were pretty much weekly customers bc of $2.99 salsa that could have been avoided and didn't care when we told the waiter "Frank". We did order an appetizer as well. We had soda and tea. This was just a quick stop in the middle of the day to have a snack. I will also say a few of their staff has no personality at all and makes the experience pretty bad. It's obvious they don't like to give salsa away - their food has always been outstanding but we won't be back due to the way we were treated. The staff usually recognizes us. We have even gone for dinner with friends and didn't get charged for the salsa. When you know it's going to be an issue walking in, it's probably best to find another place more welcoming and appreciates your business. The place really could do well. The music is always fun. We tried over and over...

    Chips and Salsa
    Melisa F.

    Made a late night stop for a late dinner. We were greeted immediately upon entering and escorted to a window table. There was upbeat music playing. The music was just what I needed to keep me going after a long day. I swayed and bopped my head along to the beat. Our server came over with chips and salsa for the table. He answered questions about the food and provided drink options. I ordered the Jamaica Agua Fresca and Salmon Mango à la Mexicana with Vegetables. Mom had the Fried Red Snapper with Cilantro Rice and a Lemonade. The chips were fresh and the salsa had a good kick. The Jamaica Agua Fresca was good. However, it is sweet. The Salmon was delicious and flavorful. By the end of the menu I was full.

    Fiesta grilled chicken nachos

    The place is small, ambiance is cute and festive lol it wasn't to busy for a Monday but the food is so big and flavorful ..I ended up getting the fiesta nacho with grilled chicken and a homemade red sangria everything was so good and fresh! Chips hot out the fryer salsa tasted homemade and sangria was okay but definitely had some good wine in it lol! Divana was adorable but she was nice and answered every question I had with a smile and honesty and I liked that, her service was great! The only thing is the lunch menu isn't flexible with side, I don't eat beans and couldn't switch it out but overall it was great and I will be back to try more things!

    Poblanos is a great local find for Mexican food in Oviedo! They moved locations from across town and I'm glad they did as they are slightly closer to us. The service has been excellent on our visits here. Food comes out fast and accurate. On our last visit, we loved the traditional feast for two. It included five different items so we were able to try a variety of things. I loved the beef chimichanga. The chicken quesadilla was nice and cheesy and to my liking! Chips and salsa are complimentary so that's always a plus. We will be back for a visit to Poblanos again!

    Mexican Old Fashioned

    On a whim, we came here on a Wednesday night for a quick dinner before a show. Love the decor and we were pleasantly surprised to see a decent amount of patrons. The service was great, our server was very friendly and helpful! The chips are ok, authentic without salt but fresh. I had the birria quesadilla which is brisket and cheese and holy crap was it tasty! It was way too big for one sitting so I'll be bringing the rest home for lunch. The rice was tasty and they give you a good amount of toppings. Hubby had the choose 3 meal with birria, carnitas, and crane asada. The birria was by far the best. I found the carnitas to be a bit dry and without a ton of flavor and the carne asada seemed slightly dry and overcooked. But he seemed to enjoy his meal. He liked the old fashioned. I will definitely be coming back to try more menu items!

    Chips and salsa

    First time trying Pobalano's. Great little place nearby in Oviedo. The ambiance is fun and not overwhelming. Service was prompt and friendly. Of course, there's the standard chips and salsa. They were tasty. The old fashioned was ok (what did I expect at a Mexican restaurant for a non-margarita drink?) - not very strong. The food is what shined. We ordered the birria quesadilla and a taco combo (carne asada, carnitas, and birria). The carne asada was ok - a little tough. Carnitas definitely had more flavor. The superstar here is the birria! For the win. Bursting with flavor and so delicious. We'll be back (and focused on that birria)

    Combo.pork tamale..ground beef burrito..chicken enchilada
    Dolly S.

    First time so we both got the combos. His grilled chicken burrito was a 3$ up charge that we were not told but he loved his potato stuffed pepper.. I loved my pork tamale very mild and very corn focused..my shredded chicken enchilada wet and not that good..my ground beef burrito was not flavorful at all...it tasted like cheap meat. Chips and salsa to start and the salsa is wild and not chunky. They do have hot sauce you can ask for that was full of flavor. If I go back I would get the tamale and try something else

    Burrito
    Lydia C.

    Food was not great, lacked seasoning. Better off eating at home than ordering here again. I ordered a burrito and they gave me an enchilada looking dish. Hostess was not attentive and cook had to step in and take mine and my families order. I will never come back here again.

    Drink Menu

    To start the wait staff is super nice and very attentive. The restaurant is super well decorated. Lots of new places are doing in my opinion very bland decor with just gray. This mixes the warm tones of dark wood in a feel warm and welcoming while being fresh and updated. My Skinny Margarita was super good and refreshing. My SO got the chicken Mole and I got chicken with Verde. Both were absolutely delicious, as was their hot sauces they had. I hope they do well as we will be back!

    So, I've read a number of negative reviews in where the statement of the food is great, outstanding…read moreor just plain good!! However, other aspects of the visit might not have been perfect. Giving a 1 star because you didn't like the wait, overall serving or even the timing of your meal to table doesn't mean the restaurant deserves that 1 or 2 stars. We come to this location weekly, I've also found it to be consistent on taste, service and overall quality. The staff is friendly and always willing to offer suggestions, something that's missed in most restaurants today. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for good Mexican food that is consistent, not over priced and just plain good! I do get that some restaurants don't meet the mark and to those yes the negative reviews help those that have never been. However, in this case salsas in Oviedo go way above and beyond when it comes to your Mexican food especially. For those that feel one piece of the experience ruins the food, service and ambiance shouldn't be posting anything!!

Seating was really quick and friendly, not too loud which makes it easier to have a conversation and enjoy the space, our server Manuel was very educate - friendly and professional, he informed us about their drink specials which included a tequila shot so def we choose to go with that!! Chips and sauce was so delicious, crunchy and tasty.. we start with so classic guacamole which they prepare in front of you and even make you taste it to check if you need anything extra or not which it's perfect based on your taste!!

Big shoutout to Manuel who gave us his real opinion on their dishes ( totally love when somebody it's sincere ) and of course the courtesy tequila shots because he realized we were Hispanic and ask us if we were celebrating what happened!! Definitely felt super nice and unique!! Will recommend this place with my eyes close
