El Poblano Restaurant

This place ustato be Maquina Taco, overpriced and always huckstering for a buck; this place has two ladies pressing tortillas and cooking empanadas molido while you wait. Salsa and side included. The salsa was delicious and burned my mouth as I waited for the gold line at Lake Street station. Would go back.

Support your local businesses! Freshly made tacos for after your bike ride.

First time here and probably not coming back, maybe we ordered the wrong thing ? Maybe it was a bad day ? I am not sure, but we got Mole and Tamales, and Jeez we were so disappointed. We moved from Glendale to Pasadena about a month ago and we decided to try this place out because it was comida poblana! We love this food !!!! and have had many good experiences with other restaurants! Sadly......... The Tamales were so hard I could not eat it and I showed someone on a table how hard it was! Literally like a rock .. Definitely old and just warmed back up in a microwave or something! Definitely have to check on the quality of food before you serve it to a customer. =( The Mole, did not seem authentic or fresh more watery and bland,. Sucks! we were so hungry too !
