This is a sleeper, from the outside it doesn’t look like much. Once inside, it doesn’t look like much. But the food is very good. They make their own tortillas, they are thicker and taste better than the run of a mill tortillas.
I live to find places like this for lunch, I work all over (construction) and look for good food, plentiful fast and cheap. A bonus is there is a store attached to this restaurant so you can pickup a few things, including beverage, while waiting for your food. I am usually alone, but this time I was with the wife and our youngest boy.
The booth was a little small for us and the food. We got a burrito, chimichanga and quesadilla for the little guy. $ 25 and only I could clean my plate. All was great and not too picante for the wife and boy. The quesadilla used their home made tortilla.
May 2015, upped them to five stars based on my broadening visits to Mexican hole in the wall kind of places. It doesn’t hurt that the owner commented, shows they care. Love this place, I haven’t been there for diner, I work down that way a lot, but would like to.

Ordered for delivery. Food was not great. Everything tasted stale. We had Tamales that were both dry and flavorless. A shrimp dish called Camerones a la Diabla. It was very hot but the shrimp were not very fresh. Overall, not a very good experience and would not recommend.

I ordered delivery, which included cheese enchiladas, and they brought chicken enchiladas instead. When I called to get it fixed, I first had to explain to three different employees what had happened.
They then said they would call me back, and 20 minutes later did so. I requested replacement enchiladas, and they said «Well, the minimum delivery is $ 20.» (What??? I already made an order of over $ 20 and it was wrong, common courtesy is to re-​deliver.)
They THEN said they couldn’t do it because their delivery driver was on another delivery and they would just refund me instead (haven’t seen the refund come through yet so we’ll see if I have to follow up). I just wanted the food I ordered!

Good food, friendly owners… great place for my taco fix. Love their carnitas and huaraches. Tortillas dont get any fresher. Try the blue corn tortillas… made en casa.

La Poblanita is just around the corner from me. I went there with a few friends one night and it was ok by me. I am a frequenter of a wide variety of the various Mexican restaurants in South Minneapolis. That said, La Poblanita falls smack-​dab in the middle of the delicioso-​spectrum for me.
I had a vegetarian burrito, which is the main staple of my diet. My friends had the sopes and a carne asada burrito. It was obvious from first glance that burritos are not their strong suit. They offer the option of a «wet burrito» which means pouring some kind of sauce over the top before serving. Sometimes this action can make a mighty tasty burro but in this case it just sogged up the tortilla as well as the paper in the basket it was served in (ew). The taste was fine but I couldn’t make a good assessment since I spent most of my dinnertime trying to avoid ingesting green-​and-​white-​checked bits of paper. I’m sure eating paper never caused anybody serious gastronomical problems but I wasn’t about to take the chance.
It was obvious that sopes (aka picaditas aka tlacoyos aka huaraches in some cases) were their strong-​suit. My friend had a vegetarian version and they were perfect – plump, flavorful, and loaded with toppings like peppers, mushrooms, onoins, and sauce.
They may have music some nights since the night we were there, there was a ranchera-​style band practicing in the corner. At least I hope they were practicing, with all the starting and stopping and restarting they were doing. It could be a great scene in there, with the music going, the painted walls, and some grub. Also, the prices were right up my alley: cheap cheap cheap! I’ll go again but next time I’m sticking with sopes.

I love mexican food. Usually when I have a craving, I’ll just drive up and down Lake St. until I find a restaurant that looks promising. Stumbling upon Taqueria La Poblanta has been one of my greatest finds.
The chips and salsa that they give you to start out your meal with aren’t that great. The chips are dense, kind of hard and sort of stale. The salsa isn’t that great in flavor. Both of which surprise me because the taco shells they use are fantastic and the salsa/​hot sauce they bring out to put on your food is great. The salsa they bring with your food comes in two different squirt bottles; doesn’t seem that appealing, but both of those salsas are great.
I tend to get the Vikings Nachos with chicken and a horchata to wash it down with. The horchata is amazing and does a really good job of putting out your hot-​stuff-​mouth-​fire that you get from your food. The amount that you get for food is crazy! The vikings nachos are only $ 8, but it’s enough for 3 people to eat. I always have leftovers for atleast one more meal. $ 8!!! Awesome recession food. Haha
The veggies on the vikings nachos has always been crisp and fresh, good colors. They use alot of cilantro, which I love, personally.
I’ve had friends come along and get burritos and fajitas and quesadillas and whatnot, and from what they say, their food experiences were great.
I like the interior décor. There are painted murals, large pictures, fake flowers, and a tv with spanish soap operas blaring out into the dining area. Everything to give you the ‘real feel’ for a little restaurant in Mexico. :)
Staff is decent, depending. I’ve had both good and bad experiences there. Overall the greatness of the food is such that I would put up with a not-​so-​good waitress. Not to mention their fantastic prices.
It’s definatly worth checking out, I’d say it’s one of my favorite mexican restaurants I’ve eaten at so far up here.

I stopped at this restaurant as I cruised up and down lake street on a humid blistering hot Sunday afternoon. There is a myriad of Mexican restaurants on Lake Street. I decided to stop at La Poblanita because they served «huaraches,» that intrigued me! The last tlacoyo or huarrache, as it’s more commonly known, I had was in Mexico City five years ago. I ordered two carne asada huaraches they looked scrumptious!
CHIPS & SALSA– nothing spectacular salsa needed salt, and chips are store bought. If you are a tortilleria you should definitely have freshly made and fried tortilla chips!!!
HORCHATA — Decent, nice flavor!
HUARACHE — The had the right shape! Made with white corn (blue corn is common in Mexico City) The beans inside were over dry. The carne asada had good flavor!!! But it’s carne asada onions and peppers mixed with the meat??? It’s carne asada I have never ever had carne asada with onion and peppers mixed in!!!
Overall it was okay, however not a single item stood out.

This is listed as a bakery but its a Mexican restaurant.
La Poblanita is near my house so I thought I’d try it since I’m looking for some good and decently priced Mexican fare. While I had some very delicious potato flautas my friend had a veggie burrito and I swear the veggies were a can of «veg-​all» — kinda gross. They have delicious Orchata, but we also ordered the queso fundido and the cheese wasn’t right at all. We would probably have fared better if we weren’t both vegetarian as they don’t have much on the menu that isn’t meaty. I plan on coming back for breakfast some time and seeing how that is, but I probably won’t return for dinner.
