I can't express how authentic and tasty each plate was. Our server Mayra. She was super sweet and attentive. We will be back whenever in town. Free street parking available.

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.

As soon as you walk into the restaurant you are met with the smoky aroma of toasted corn, simmering chilies, and roasted vegetables. I ordered The Rancheros! A perfect blend of salsa ranchera, beef chorizo, and a scrambled egg. The chorizo had a kick of spiciness! My daughter ordered the grand daddy of chilaquiles- De Mercado! A rich, savory comfort dish simmered in tangy tomatillo sauce, topped with tender, slow-cooked shredded pork. Both dishes were packed with flavor! To drink, I recommend ordering La Verde- a traditional Mexican aqua fresca infused with cucumber, lime and chia seeds! This drink was fire!!! My daughter ordered the Mexican Iced Latte- which was a bold, and refreshing coffee drink that balanced rich chocolate with warm spices! Overall, service was impeccable! The ambiance was colorful and vibrant! Love the décor! My only gripe would be to suggest turning on the air conditioner. At times, the dining hall became excessively hot and somewhat uncomfortable.

This review is especially for Yajaira. From the moment we arrived, she embodied everything an…read moreoutstanding server should be. She asked if it was our first time, offered thoughtful recommendations for those of us new to the menu, and maintained a warm, genuine smile throughout our visit. Her charisma and enthusiasm truly elevated our experience. Yajaira checked in consistently, making sure we had everything we needed and asking how she could make our experience even better. Her attentiveness did not go unnoticed. Kudos to management for bringing such a talented and dedicated individual onto the team. As always, the food here is exceptional. We tried two types of chilaquiles--La Bomba and Cremosos--and both were absolutely exquisite. The aguas frescas were refreshing, and the addition of tajín on the rim was a beautiful touch that celebrates authentic Mexican culinary traditions. My companion ordered the pancakes, and the café de olla was simply outstanding. It was midday, and the San Diego sunshine made the experience even more enjoyable as we sat outside in their charming garden patio. We will be back

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.

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.
