We enjoyed a chicken taco à la carte and a chicken taco plate. Plenty of free parking. CONS: No substitute for refried beans. Restaurant had a strong smell of cleaning agents. Fish tacos were only offered fried, not grilled. Helpful?

Great spot for authentic Mexican food either when you're going to the border or coming back! I've…read morebeen going for years and it's a favorite for our whole team! I went today with my husband and: FOOD 5/5 Chips and Salsa- their salsa always hits the spot and the chips are fresh and crunchy. Their vinegar soaked carrots are my favorite and I devour them quick. 5/5 - Ensalada de Avocado. I get it without chicken, tomatoes or onions and they LOAD up the avocado. It's such a comfort food for me that's usually my go/to. The tortilla is deep fried and tastes fresh. 5/5- CARNITAS- my husband thought it was great and full of flavor. His tortillas were fresh too. SERVICE 5/5- both female servers were helpful and attentive especially because we got some chicken soup to-go for our employee and they had it ready quick. I loved that they were dressed up as well for Halloween and went all out in their costumes. CLEANLINESS/ AMBIANCE 5/5 - This place always feels welcoming and clean. The tables are bussed quickly, you don't see food on the floor. SEATING inside had plenty of seating. Lots of booths, tables and even larger tables for groups. We saw a group of 9 people walk right in. They have a cute outside patio area that has PARKING plenty of parking since they share a lot with the other units.

Every dish we ordered was excellent, perfectly seasoned, and tasted incredibly fresh with a wonderful depth of flavor. The ambiance beautifully captures the essence of Mexico, making you feel as though you have been transported to another country. Additionally, the service was top-tier. Our waitress was welcoming, attentive, and answered all of our questions with a warm, genuine smile. The only drawback to our experience involved the beverage pricing. While the drinks themselves were excellent, I noticed unexpected surcharges on our bill. I was charged extra for the seasoning on the rim of the mango drink, as well as for the chocolate lollipop garnish included with the chocolate milk. To my knowledge, these add-on costs are not noted on the menu. I have never encountered an establishment that bills separately for standard drink garnishes, and these fees weren't mentioned during ordering. While I will simply ask to exclude these garnishes on future visits to avoid the hidden fees, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for phenomenal, authentic Mexican food.

We watched the host seat walk-in groups of 2, 4, and 5 for almost 2 hours. We asked if they could put empty tables together or if we could just sit at tables near each other. No luck. We checked in with host every 15-30m until 10:50am. As we left, the host said "sorry" and watched all 7 of us (2 seniors) step over the stanchion ropes.

I guess everything is relative. There are a couple of great taco places in Tijuana that I love to…read morego to whenever I am here for work [about every 3 weeks]. Today I was in the Otay side and didn't want to drive to Tijuana crossing so I looked up a taco place and "El Poblano". First, traffic outside was crazy and if you pull into the parking lot, you will have to back into that crazy traffic. Not great. I wanted one "tripas" taco and one "adobada" taco and had to get into two lines and pay twice. That was odd. Thank goodness there was no line when I got there but after I sat down, there was a decently long line. The meat wasn't bad but the guacamole sauce was not seasoned. Also, they had some radishes but they were not sliced. No carrots and jalapenos in vinegar but they did have some grilled jalapenos. I like the cucumbers and sliced radishes that so many of the good places will offer YET these were expensive. At 45 pesos [$2.65] for the adobada and 70 pesos [$4.38] for the tripas. I was a little surprised because I can get shrimp tacos for that price at another taco place not far from here.

3.5 Stars Located on…read morethe circle, about two blocks north of the Mexico/Otay border crossing, we stopped in on a hot day to pick up a couple drinks. They had a makeshift patio seating area set up outside of the store. There were tables inside as well, however due to Covid spacing restrictions, there were only a few. I'm guessing they have more seating under normal situations. We ordered two drinks: a Mango Smoothie, and a Mixed Berry Smoothie. Both were good, but nothing that made me say "wow". Service was also good, but again, nothing out of the ordinary. I would stop in again if I were in the area.
