Great food, amazing Tuesday special, and a HUGE shoutout to Brianna!
My dad had been wanting to try Tacos Mi Poblanita after seeing it on social media, so we decided to give it a shot on a Tuesday.
I'll be honest, our first impression wasn't great. Despite the restaurant being practically empty, we waited over 25 minutes just to get our drinks (an agua de jamaica and a bottled Coke). Our original waitress, Michelle, seemed more interested in chatting with someone at the bar than attending to us. At that point, I was ready to finish eating and take our business elsewhere.
Then Brianna came in, and she completely turned our experience around!
She took over during the shift change, immediately checked on us, and asked if anyone had told us about their Tuesday special. Nope! Turns out they offer three tacos AND a house margarita for just $14. My dad's face lit up, and just like that, our plans to leave went out the window.
Now, let's talk about the food! Everything we tried was delicious. I enjoyed my tostada so much that I ordered a second one. My dad enjoyed his taco de oreja, and we both enjoyed the steak tacos. The portions were good, the presentation was nice, and that Tuesday deal is seriously hard to beat.
But the real highlight was Brianna. As the restaurant got busier, she was juggling multiple customers, making margaritas, taking orders, and checking on everyone without skipping a beat. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcomed. The difference in service was night and day.
I've always believed that your server can make or break a dining experience, and this visit proved exactly that.
To management: Brianna is an absolute gem, and I hope she gets the recognition she deserves! She's the reason a disappointing first impression turned into a memorable evening with my dad.
I'm giving four stars because the initial service left a lot to be desired, but the food, value, and Brianna's outstanding hospitality absolutely earned our return visit.
We'll definitely be back, especially on Tuesdays! read more
