What customers say?

“ OMG The most amazing tacos you could eat. Big portions and delicious tacos, tortas. My favorite was the Tacos de Pastor, Tacos de Lengua and the Torta de Asada. They put a lot of guacamole in the tacos. Each different time of tacos is prepared differently. Right now writing the review my mouth just keeps watering remembering those tacos. The only bad thing that I have to wait one year to eat them again. The service great fast and courteous. :) ”

“ My coworkers and I absolutely love this gem! You can easily spot their red truck off Industrial Ave. Food: I've had the carne asada burrito and torta, al pastor burrito, carne asada fries, and various tacos. Food is very tasty and has great flavor. Burritos are very big and I enjoyed every bite till the end! Carne asada fries are awesome and they serve it with seasoned fries and awesome fixings. Fries are still crunchy even after bringing it back to my office for lunch! Service: Excellent service overall! Staff is very friendly and courteous. Would recommend calling in order 20-30 min ahead of time as they can get busy during lunch time. Happy to support this local business any time. Thank you Tacos El Poblanito for serving the local community ! ”

“ It's in a hidden little spot but there's just about always parking when I go during the week for lunch. All the guys are great and quick service. The food is amazing and the spicy sauce is perfect! Tried the tacos, pambazos, burritos, and sopes. I always go back for the tacos and burritos cause it's just easier to eat on the road. ”

“ Delicious! The mole is yummy good portions! I had a shrimp burrito and it was really good. I need a spicier salsa though. Todo está delicioso! Solo falta una salsa más picosa. ”

“ Decent covered eating area tho I didn’t stay. Easy walk here from my mechanics’ place as they were working on my car—about a half mile away. It was easy to spot the food truck in this little plaza, which has a body shop, tire shop and a bumper place. Friendly staff and quick service , though keep in mind there was only one person in front of me at the time I went (~11.15AM on a Thursday). Ordered a super burrito with al pastor, hold the avocado (allergy). Oh HECK YES—DAMMMMNNNN. I admit that their al pastor recipe is slightly different than what I’m used to. Something slightly tangy or sweet in it. Unexpected, but I came around to enjoying it and I see why they include it—different dimensions of flavor and IT WAS A PARTY IN MY MOUTH. Nopales, or maybe pineapple? Whatever it was, it worked. Had the red sauce for a kick inside the burrito and got the green salsa for a sipping side when eating the burrito. I’ll be definitely coming back here to eat again next time I’m in the neighborhood or having the car worked on again ! —- Edit- more repairs on May 13, and OMG It’s still ridiculously good. Freaking huge burritos too! Forget Chipotle—small and a$$—come to this place for the real real. ”
