Bean rice cheese burrito, cheese wasn't even melted food was cold cheese was still cold. Rice was hard and crunchy. The tacos have zero flavor also we're cold, And the guacamole they put ontop has zero flavor. Second time trying this place and both times it was a huge let down. read more

What a let down. See the ads on IG and driven by plenty of times. It was a nice atmosphere inside with a good menu decent prices. Ordered the three birria tacos with a side of smashed avocado. It's like they forgot to season anything. Avocado needed salt and spice. The consume tasted like they put too much nutmeg or an odd spice in it. Good sized tacos but the beef was flavorless. Won't be revisiting. read more

Great food at reasonable prices. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the homemade corn tortillas really made the meal stand out. It felt like a comforting home-cooked meal. read more

Flavors here are great and the tacos came out really well. My friend got Birria tacos and I ordered an Al Pastor burrito. I think the burrito was an 8/10 and the tacos were maybe 8.5/10. The service was speedy and the staff were super helpful. read more

Never coming back. First timers. We ordered a quesa-torta which was good. Tortillas for the tacos were falling apart so bad my bf remade my tacos with tortillas from home They completely messed up my order. I ordered four QUESO tacos (2 birria, 2 al pastor). Drove home, opened the food and I had 2 regular al pastor and 2 regular asada tacos. How can they mess it up that badly...???????? Never going back. Complete waste of money. Not to mention they are WAY too expensive for the flavor. We couldn't believe the price before we even got to taste it and glad we didn't like it because we will never spend that much on mid tacos again. read more

Sick ahh tacos. The place is clean, the food is fire, and the service is excellent. Definitely coming back. The pastor is actually trompo, iykyk and the asada is actually carne asada on the grill with charcoal. You can taste the freshness. The bad reviews definitely went at the very wrong time because every time I come this place never disappoints and if there's any issue, which we all make mistakes, they will fix with a smile on their face! Carlos gives a high end service at this "taco place" read more

Taqueria El Poblano - Tacos. The carne asada is actually freshly grilled and not from the day before. Love this place. - Tacos Near Me - Whittier, California

My wife discovered this restaurant's Instagram profile, and we both agreed that we had to give it a try. I love Tijuana-style tacos, so I ordered one asada taco and one al pastor taco. My wife ordered a mulita al pastor and a tostada de asada. The total came to $22, which I thought was reasonable because of the delicious food. It was so good that I ordered a burrito al pastor to go. I will definitely be returning here more often, and make sure you follow their Instagram: @taqueria_al_poblano. read more

Been wanting to come here, but always looked lonely.. I think i had heard they only take cash as well. Well im glad i stopped by. They do take credit cards, which is a plus. Place was a little busy but you couldnt tell from the outside. I ordered 3 tacos ( two queso birria tacos, and one al pastor).. The queso birria were really good and HOT.. You can tell those were just made, and they were making a lot of them. The al pastor was ok. Warm, but would of like the meat a little hotter. Otherwise, taste was good. That an an horchata, came to $15 bucks.. The queso birria tacos for $4 bucks were huge i thought and stuffed with birria.. I opted for the green sauce, but it wasnt spicy enough. Restrooms were clean, two huge tv's inside, and air conditioned. Good taco experience overall. read more

This was my first time at location. Had a delivery in the area and I tried their com and locations. Figured I'll try them out. See if they're just as good as and yes they were monster size tacos. They were not Shady on Meet meat was juicy, tender, flavorful, guacamole, tested fresh, and agua fresca was refreshing. I used the coupon from the Stater brothers, grocery market down the street and the coupon works at all locations. Highly recommend you try them out if you're looking for quality tacos and don't want to drive to T.J.. read more

Whenever I am in San Diego, I always stop by TJ to get some TJ style tacos... For the longest I've been looking in the LA/SGV area for something similar... And I must say this location is damn near close if not on point! I came here the other night and had the pleasure of Carlos assisting me. He was extremely nice and courteous and gave me multiple recommendations of fan favorites and his favorites. I ordered three Vampiros and three Birria tacos. They did not hold back on portions or salsa. I think I will be coming back every other day for the amazing customer service and delicious food. Also the horchata was bombbbbbbb! read more

Good quality meats tacos are really good! Great service everything is always fresh and a place is clean.

I had above average hopes for this spot while I was in L.A. The meat is spicy! Make sure you indicate that you want salsa on the side if you need to. We had asada, birria and pastor of different covered varieties. The quesadillas with flour and corn were excellent. The home made corn tortillas are great. The beans were also tasty. Some standard horchata and Jamaica, but luckily this location serves delicious Pepsi. Service was quick on a Sunday afternoon and it was nice and cool in the humbly decorated restaurant. read more

Carne asada is super tough and very old and dry. Same with the al pastor pork. The salsas were sitting warm in their fridge unit. This place was such a let down. There's no one cooking usually.... They pull bags of cooked food out of the back to refill their taco station. Won't be going back read more

Todo me gustó pero más la atención que nos brindó un jovencito que se llama Carlos muy atento cual quier pregunta me la contestaba con mucha amabilidad gracias todos los restaurant buscarán personas como ese jovencito gracias Carlos por tu atención read more

The place is busy but not clean, they need someone to clean. They yell a lot, and sometimes you can't understand.

I was craving tacos and saw this place on my way home. I had the asada tacos and they were really good! Carlos helped me and gave great customer service. He was patient with me as I was taking a while to figure out what to eat. It was also kept well cleaned and peaceful to eat. Thank you Carlos! read more

Do I recommend this new location? Yes, yes I do and I have! My friends have gone back several times as well. Since they opened my husband has wanted to come every chance we get. There is Taco Tuesday, Wednesday Happy Hour and you can make up your own! Lol! I would recommend the the Pastor with the aguacate. I wouldn't call it guacamole because there's nothing in it just plain ole avocado . Another one to have is the Labio, if you don't like lengua... this is not for you! They are delicious though. The texture might through some people off. The tortas are also a tasty option and remember they are ESTILO TIJUANA!! Lots of parking and the staff is friendly!! Thanks for reading!! :) read more

Friendly and fast service. That's about as good as it gets. Everything tastes really bland. It lacks flavor which also includes the horchata. The carne asada taco was flavorless. It needs more seasoning and the same goes with the guacamole salsa. I think they don't add salt to anything. Something is clearly missing. They definitely look like TJ style tacos but fall short. This place has the potential for awesome tacos just needs to not be afraid to add some seasoning/spice. read more

Taqueria El Poblano - Carne asada tacos - need more seasoning. Taste bland - Tacos Near Me - Whittier, California

I think this spot has a lot of potential but unfortunately didn't hit the mark for me. With so many options in the area you have to come with your A-Game. I would recommend thin slicing the Al Pastor if possible and keeping the Asada chopped into slightly larger pieces. read more

The restaurant is clean, but the music is too loud. They were playing the baseball game so that's cool, Food wise, the tortilla is good but the the carne asada was not it for me, it needs flavor and it had lots of fat, needs to be more cooked, they don't have salsa options just cucumbers, I only wanted to try it because it looked so good on instagram but it was nice to try it, just wouldn't come again. read more

Flavorless old food and watered down guacamole. Definitely won't be going here again.

Did not like the burrito de asada I mean who sells burrito with just meat never heard of that especially a taco place . My avocado on my tacos tasted bland no taste to it . My experience there wasn't good at all . read more

I been craving this spot for about a year, was hungry for a good torta de lengua,. I walk in get greeted, and they don't have lengua, so I order an asada one. There's only one customer in front of me, after 10 minutes go by, I'm told they are out of bread! WHAT! 4:30 pm on a Monday, anyways so I went with a burrito de asada, 5 minutes go by and I'm asked again what type of meat!! Asada I said for the 3rd time, anyways it wasn't good. Won't be back. I'm cool. Should have went to the street vendors! Especially paying almost $17 for a burrito, I'm cool. The horchata wasn't even that good, it was too sweet. read more

FAKE purchased reviews... We found that this restaurant has two profiles one with really terrible reviews and then there is this one with really good reviews which makes no sense other than the fact that the reviews are bought. The restaurant itself is very divvy and not clean. The food on the other hand was really bad we ordered carne asada tacos a burrito and quesadilla along with a couple of al pastor tacos and birrria Taco with consomme unfortunately all of it was bad. The birria taco and consomme was especially bad it had a very strange taste it's very difficult to describe. Between my wife and grandkids no one liked the food at all which is pretty rare. $65 for four people so the food is not cheap and one would think that the food would have been better but in this case it was not. read more
