Food was amazing (see photo)

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.

Great first experience at El Poblano Restaurant! I ordered the carne asada burrito and three tacos - pollo asado, carnitas, and carne asada. It was all delicious! The burrito is huge! It probably weighs two pounds. I actually got out the tape measure and it came in at ten inches. It's easily enough food for two meals. The char grilled intensity of the asada was balanced really well by the seasoned rice and tender braised pinto beans. The fresh roasted pepper salsa has moderate heat and is a wonderful addition to a perfectly balanced bite. The tacos are five inches in diameter and are filled generously with around four ounces of meat. I absolutely loved the asada and carnitas, the pollo was also very tasty and more flavorful than I was expecting. No fancy toppings here, just the classic diced onion and cilantro. In my opinion that's the way to go because it allows the flavor and texture of the meats to really shine. For me the real "wow factor" ingredients were the asada and carnitas. It cost just over twenty dollars, so the burrito was about ten dollars, and the tacos around three fifty. There is no detailed menu with prices. You just order and pay what the lady tells you when it's ready. The place is cash only so be prepared for that. I'll definitely be going back for more. So, do yourself and this little place a favor and give it a try soon.
