We had a selection of tacos, which were fine but we expected more flavour; some tasted completely unsalted and we supplemented it with rimming salt from our margarita. Decent ambience for downtown St John's; there is a fair amount of decor and character to the place. We really wanted to like it, but it was probably our most disappointing meal of the trip given the high quality around.

You will just need to stay up and be hungry after 11pm, because that's when Poyo opens and shines. Had the Gringo Taco with refried beans, and was perfection. Includes cheese, lettuce, sour cream, tomato and refried beans. Was everything you could want in a taco and in late night munchies food. Can't recommend this place enough! UPDATE: now open during the day, so can enjoy delicious Burritos for lunch! Great addition to the downtown food scene.

Is this the best Mexican you ever had? No.. Not even in the city. Its basically the mexican version…read moreof pub food mostly. The Appetizer menu is solid, they have some nice variation in their dinner menu and a few non mexican items for the picky folks. I think if I had 2 major complaints they would be that 1) the food is actually surprisingly tasteless. Not Spicy, which was fine.. but was actually kinda bland.. and 2) When we got our meals they had obviously been left under a warmer for too long and were overheated. The tortillas on my fish tacos were crispy instead of soft and the rice had dried out on the surface. The Burrito my date ordered looked great but you get no sour cream or anything with the meal so it ends up as a dry meal with overcooked looking beef. My Fish Tacos were beautiful to look at, little slices of Jalapeno under the fish gave you a big surprise but the cole slaw that was on the fish tastes like absolutely nothing... Just cabbage. Not impressed. Overall.. I wouldn't go back.. But only because there are other, and better options for Mexican in St John's. The food wasn't bad.. it was just boring. One major plus.. the Service was fantastic. Friendly, quick, and efficient. Oh and they brew their own ice tea. Its not that Nestea stuff most places have. So if you are expecting sweet tea you will get a surprise at your first sip.

I looked for my profile on Yelp and it seemed to missing a lot of reviews I have no idea why but…read morehere is my review. To begin, I love Mexican food. It's usually very simple and very delicious. I have been to many cantinas in my travels. The atmosphere appeared to be pleasant and we were greeted when we arrived. That is where it went down hill!! We sat down and ordered a beverage. A soda and a water. The water had a strange taste. Most likely just tap water, that was Luke warm and had a strange taste. The soda was a soda! Looked though the full menu and browsed the lunch menu that was offered. The menu for one was not clear as one that you might expect from a Mexican Restaurant. We wanted a simple lunch, tacos . It seemed to lack a good definition of what they were, so I asked for clarification. Chicken .. Ok. Beef? Ground beef. No steak tacos, carne Asada .. What, el pastor? What? Veggie and a chilli taco. Confusion was setting in. Soft tacos... No!! Hard shell, store bought. I looked for an alternate lunch on the menu. More confusion! The menu was really lacking anything Mexican or should I say authentic Mexican or even Tex Mex. I looked around to make sure that I walked into the correct door. We verified and we were here. (Burrito for $20.00 wow that must be an amazing Burrito. Tacos that were not tacos for an inflated price) I wanted something for lunch that was Authentic. I asked for input from our server, with little guidance except for a feeble attempt for an upsell to their dinner menu, I just wanted lunch. I had that feeling of wanting to run and not look back, but I had to give it a try. We tried the tacos and another dish that looked to have a carne asada vibe. Not so much .The tacos were displayed horrible with ground beef, no salsa's or hot sauce as condiments or extras on the side as to garnish.... These are tacos correct??!! The other dish was very small but it did have a Carne Asada meat... Sort of but with raisins. Confused again. The refried beans were very salty and the rice very bland. This place is not Tex mex or Mexican by any means. Should change the name to something else and not mislead the public. I felt a little embarrassed. In name only is this place Mexican. I would never recommend or try and explain my opinion of this place ever again. Just say No! esto no es un restaurante mexicano. no es auténtico para decir lo menos. Taco Bell es más auténtico. ¡no está bien!

I came here for a late lunch after flying in at around 2 PM and I was staying at the Delta nearby…read more My group of four wanted to grab lunch since we were still kind of running on Toronto time. We came to the restaurant around 3:00 and it was pretty much empty. Only one other patron was there. Given the emptiness of the restaurant we would think the service would be a lot faster, however, it was extremely slow, albeit, friendly. We all basically ordered the fish and chips and it took a long time for all our food to come. The server also didn't revisit our table to refresh our drinks once. The fish and chips itself was fried well, really crispy light batter, however, I found the batter a touch sour. I'm not sure if it's just a local thing but I didn't really like it. The fish was super moist though and well cooked. However, it could have used some salt... it lacked seasoning. I enjoyed it with the gravy and the fries. The fries were just normal but the coleslaw was delicious though. The tartar sauce was good as well. Overall it was a very average experience. I really wanted to experience what Newfoundland and Labrador could really give us. However, I thought this was pretty mediocre. Hopefully, dinner will be better. The inside is very hokey almost like a tropical theme, they also went by the name of Shamrock pub or something. We were all a little confused cause we thought it was jungle Jim's.

The positives:…read morethe tortillas were fresh and pliable, the salsa was a cooked salsa with tons of flavour, and the choice of ingredients to put in your burrito is excellent! We only tried the texmex ground beef and it may not have been the best choice. There is a shredded BBQ beef and a chipotle fish which may have been the better way to go. I will be coming back to check these out. The guacamole was disappointingly flavourless, except for the explosion of red onion that overpowers your mouth. All in all, not bad. Not amazing, but not bad.
