El Poblano Mexican Restaurant in Birmingham

Very good . Great atmosphere

Super nice employee and great service. Food is good could easily be improved upon. Convenient and close location to me. And I can't say enough about how friendly the people are.

The service was great and the food quick and very good

Have been going to El Poblano for over 20 years. Food is always fresh and good. Highly recommend.

Best authentic Mexican cuisine to me (I'm hard to please.) Friendly staff. Newly redecorated.

Been going to this Mexican restaurant for as long as I can remember. When I couldn't pronounce poblano I had come up with El cablamo somehow. Queso is really good and they give you lots. Salsa is good. Changed their cook style a few times over the years and I enjoy the current servings. Anything you can get is good.

I went in as i usually do at any mexican restaurant, sat down they brought chips and salsa. I cant eat alot due to stomach issues. I ordered one enchilada for $4 and a coke. She brought me my ticket they charged me $3 for chips and salsa. I didnt ask for it but they also didnt tell me I would be charged and just brought it to my table. Then want to sneak the price in afterwords very unprofessional. The food was decent but I've had better. I definitely will not come back due to bad communication . I paid $10 for this a snack they were very deceptive on how they charged for the chips and salsa.

Friendly staff and delicious food! Their lunch special prices are really great! Found a new Mexican place for lunch!

I have enjoyed it very much. Unlike some Mexican places, you can eat the food and drink the water.Most dishes are served mild and will not offend most palates. However, they can make it really spicy if that is your preference. Moderately price, great job on the fresh appearance, and enjoyable.

Waiter did not known what soda they had order was wrong, we did not have time for a redo. When it was time to pay had to wait and then the cashier took way to long to come from the back ,use to LOVE the place it has gone down hill.

Very good

The best Mexican Resturant in Birmingham bar none!!

Overall it was pretty good. My enchiladas supremes was really good, but my husband felt his chili poblano meal was too greasy. The service was great—very quick. Our server was friendly, and clearly and easily communicated with us. There were many different items to choose from on the menu, as well as signature drinks/margaritas, kids menu, lunch menu, appetizers and desserts. The prices were slightly higher than similar places around, but not significantly so. I would return to this restaurant.

Good food, fast service and reasonable prices. I've eaten here due to their convenient location at least 6 times and everything I've had has been consistently good. The guacamole dip is VERY good!

Great prices and great food!

Let me preface this by saying the food here is absolutely phenomenal and this is no slight against the chefs. But this is for the waitress who could barely take our order barely speak English and gave us our order incorrectly three times. This review is for ownership or managers the food is great butI can’t come back an be seated with this lady ever again.

Had lunch shrimp fajitas. Service was fast and food was good.

Bad serviceWhen I walked in with my family at 1:30, the host got our menus, threw it on the table and started to make fun of the way we dressed IN OUR FACES.

Pleasant but not attentive.

Great food. Great service. Nice staff.

Amazing organic margaritas, very friendly waiter & staff. GREAT SALSA & fresh tasting pulled chicken in many dishes

Best mexican restaurant around! For the price and friendly staff its just great

My favorite Mexican restaurant! They're very fast to get your order and have it on the table. Also have a broad, delicious menu.

Great friendly service! The margarita was a little sweet for my taste.

We are regulars here and they never fail to impress. Cheese dip and salsa are always fresh, margaritas are always strong (always go top shelf...), and the food is always consistently great. This is the perfect no frills neighborhood Mexican restaurant. Pro tip - get the pollo loco (it will not disappoint)

This place is absolutely horrible. The chips tasted stale. The salsa wasn’t much better in taste quality. I made the mistake of ordering a taco salad. The ground beef did not look like any ground beef I have ever seen. It was not seasoned at all. It had a few beans in the bottom of the shell. It was basically a bowl of lettuce with a few cubes of tomatoes. I couldn’t eat it. The waiter was fast. But he basically screams when he speaks. There is no way I would recommend this place. My husband and son ate their food, but they will eat anything.

Good service, good price, good food

Fidel and his staff are always excellent.

Great food and very friendly staff.

The food was so good and the service was wonderful! We were a part of a group of about 12 and our waitress handled it very well!!

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Birmingham. Always have great food, fast service, and are friendly.

No seasoning on the meat. Chicken or beef

We eat there at least twice monthly and have never had bad food or poor service. It's hard to beat that.

Good food with fried ice cream in friendly neighborhood atmosphere.

Service is great. If you're looking for something quick this is the place to go.

Food and service were terrible. After I ordered, I received my food in less than 5 minutes. I ordered two beef soft tacos with rice and beans. My tacos were wrapped in foil… obviously they must have been sitting for a while. If I had wanted tacos in a wrapper, I would have gone to Taco Bell. Not to a restaurant where you dine in. My waitress was not attentive. The friend I ate with had to walk to the bar and tell them she needed more soda just to get a refill. And I felt that for the quality of the food I got, I was definitely overcharged. I've gone to Mexican restaurants who have had much better food for a much lower price. I don't suggest trying this place.

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. I've been going there for at least 18 years. They are quick and they welcome large groups. I also appreciate the vegetarian burrito (though I'm a carnivore). And the nachos are amazing as well.

I've eaten here probably 50+ times. It's consistently good each time.

Delicious food, relaxing atmosphere, great staff

Always polite service. Great food. I recommend the burrito relleno (chicken. ) Very good value. Great for families.

This place is literally made for late night drunk/high bull shittery. Typical Mexican place yet I go there all the time. Really a legendary restaurant

Great atmosphere and good food. A local staple in Vestavia for years.

Ok. The Poblano pepper was not properly peeled and de-seeded. The salsa was tasteless. The chips tasted a bit off and overall it was a sub-par experience. Truly one of those times we would have been better off to just ask for the check and leave the food untouched.

My co-workers and I love coming here for a quick lunch! Fast, friendly, and dependable service. Have not had a bad meal yet.

The seafood tacos w that secret chipotle ranch sauce w an organic margarita!!!! Thank me later

Really good Mexican food at good prices. Friendly, fast service.

The food and service is excellent

If you have never been you have to try the seafood tacos

Nice and family friendly restaurant that has good food. What I was most impressed with was how quick the food came out and how the quality of the food was still good.
