Taqueria el Poblano

They advertise the best margarita and they aren't wrong. Super delicious and really tasty food.

We really enjoyed this place. We had drinks and the fried jalapeo appetizer. That was not my favorite, but we had a great overall experience. I would definitely recommend this place.

Always a great experience. We're local so hit this spot about 2 - 3 times a month, either cuz we're too exhausted to cook on a week night or as a family favorite on the weekends. Take away or dine-in, we've never had anything but positive experiences.

I'm not from the area and needed some good Mexican food. This one had good reviews and I went for it. The hostess was awesome and gave me some good recommendations based on her favorites. It was just me and I felt like I was kind of put in the corner and forgotten about after taking me seat. When the waitress did arrived to take my order she suggested a margarita and I declined. I was there for the food but I could see how it could be a great spot for their famous margaritas. I munched on some chips and loved their salsa. I told myself that my hotel was closed and I would be back every night for dinner if it was as good as the chips and salsa. The steak tampiqueo arrived hot and smelling delicious. Unfortunately, it was good enough to eat but not amazing and full of abuela's sabor like I craved.. The beans, rice, and even steak lacked authentic flavor, or any flavor really. I'm a huge lover of good beans and rice but almost couldn't finish the beans because there was no party in my mouth when eating. BUT the cheese and onion enchiladas were somewhere between wonderful and amazing. I would have liked some more water during my dinner but the next time I saw the waitress was with the check so I paid and left. I live in an area with zero Mexican options so it was good to be in a colorful room with music and smells that make me happy and had an authentic feel but it wasn't as good as I expected. I was there for a work event and mentioned it to some coworkers who live in the area and their answer was the greater DC area is not an easy place to find solid Mexican food. For that I'm going with three stars as it was average in an area of average to below average Mexican food options. It may be the best in the area but it wasn't the best I have ever had or what I needed to leave with a happy belly and a side of flan for the road. Parking: It's a strip mall with lots of businesses and I'm assuming one is a kid focused day care or tutoring business as the time I was there it seemed hard to find a spot and lots of parents and kids walking around but there were some open spots and when I left after what I'm guessing was the kid pick up rush, more spots had opened up.
