Taqueria El Poblano Estilo Tijuana #1

If you're craving authentic tacos, Taqueria El Poblano is the spot to hit. I ordered three asada tacos, and they were absolutely delicious—packed with flavor and cooked just right, reminding me of true Tijuana-style street food. What really made the experience even better was the outstanding service. Evelyn went above and beyond—friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for real-deal tacos and top-notch service!

I hate that I have to give it 2 stars but cmon now. so disappointed to see my favorite taco spot serving this so-called Carne Asada. I come all the way from Whittier even though there’s one closer to me I’ve been coming here for years! I don’t know if it’s because of their taco Tuesday special you get different meat But this is by far not Asada. And if it is, I got the bottom of the barrel overly chopped dry meat. I even went back and asked the guy if this was carne asada , he replied by saying yes. I told him this is not the same meat You guys serve when you guys are cooking outside in the evening. He said that it was. For the taco connoisseur and taco lovers out there, we know when things change specially when you come here for the flavor, texture and taste of the meat. We’re gonna notice! The only reason I come here is because these Tacos used to taste almost identical to the original poblano in Tijuana. Almost identical. Not today.Maybe it was just a bad day today. Better luck next time

I’ve been coming here for years and the food tastes the same now as it did then, Great. I used to frequent the taqueros @ the park on Atlantic, but here they taste a lot better. They taste like my beautiful Jardin Dorado Tijuana.

Food was amazing. Very friendly people and amazing atmosphere . everything came out super fresh and delicious

The girl is someone! She brings so much light to this place. Food is so good! Makes you feel like TJ!

On top of the food, the service was fast and friendly, and the vibe was super chill. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy, this place delivers every time. Definitely my new go-to taco joint — 10/10 recommend.

Great service. Delicious hand made tortillas. Leo gave outstanding instructions what is wanted specifically. Definitely a good recommendation. You can also order it thru uber. 🙂👍

Tacos Al Carbon and the quality and flavor show. Definitely recommend. Also one of the very few places that had Tacos De Labio. Prices were fair, not the nicest area but worth it for the tacos. I believe they have several locations from what the employees were telling me. They also have Happy Hour, although none of the employees were able to describe that to me and I think I still paid full price lol. Overall definitely recommend.

Daniel me atendió bien y estuvo muy bien el servicio. Estaba muy limpio el lugar y la comida estaba espectacular.

Cajera Evelyn fue muy amable, excelente servicio! Muy rico todo, igualitos a los de tijuana

Me encanta comer sus tacos de Carne Asada con todo lo que contienen! Siempre son frescos y sabrosos, y además llenan mucho. Los mejores tacos estilo Tijuana en Los Ángeles/Compton 10/10!!

I absolutely love tacos so I had to drive out to try these fresh tortillas. Good meat and amazing salsas. There are alfresco are pretty good too is tricky so that might take a while and there's limited seating so I recommend taking your tacos to go.

I got the quesadilla de asada and three tacos de asada. It was so good. I'd recommend this place for sure. I asked for salsa on the side and the quesadilla to be de al pastor but the food was still great.

Yummy tacos with hand made tortillas! Open late so perfect for when I get home late from work.

What happened to this place! They switched the meat from diezmillo to muslo de res asado. And is it me or did the taco size get smaller? To the owner congratulations on your success but don't change the original recipe.

This place is good!! Definitely worth a try. Wanted to try a different taco spot and this place popped up. We got a bunch of different stuff to try. We made sure to order no salsa as we read it was spicy! Everything was fresh and delicious! The portions were huge and enough to share between my sis and I. We will for sure be back!

The food is good here, they do not give salsa anymore at this place, and the area is kinda sketchy.

El restaurante es muy familiar y con comida deliciosa. El personal es muy amable y servicial. Lo recomiendo! Mi plato preferido son los tacos de carne asada.

Service was great they were nice and courteous food was really good I will definitely be going again and recommend it

Delicious! Parking is difficult but the place is well worth it. I highly recommend it if you are in the area.

Took advantage of today's special of $2 tacos for taco Tuesday. I ordered 4 of pastor & 4 of asada. $2 horchata drink.

Lugar local con servicio amigable y rapido. Carne buena y las tortillas echas a mano estan sabrosas.

Found this place on Door dash. Love it! Food is fresh. Love the salsa. Rice and beans fresh and delicious. Big portions. Will be ordering again.

Been here several times at this location always worth my long drive from Corona to Compton. Today disappointed. 1st start of with the cashier, Elizabeth. Talking and so out of it while I'm saying my order. I'm sure she got nervous as well due to the line getting long while she was taking the order which I think would've been easier for her to insert each order in their system while I was telling her the order and not wait until I'm completely done after a total of almost $70 due to some tacos having everything and some just with guacamole, easy and plain order. Horchata was out so she had us take a seat and said she'd hand us that drink afterwards so she can take rest of the orders and ended up getting the entire order completely wrong and was not even asked if for here or to go but she went with the to go option. 5-6 tacos were missing, some tacos had everything which were the ones requested with just guacamole. was not handed the consomé and I'm aware when you order birria your given consomé. Brought back my order to the cooking side where another female assisted us and I said the errors of the order to her and she shown us their receipt on their to "prove" to me their end of the "order" so I unfortunately had to mention it's due to the cashier not listening to me while I was placing my order so clearly the receipt was pointless to be shown to me to prove I'M wrong??? Cashier ended up on that side and no word from her. Did not hear a sorry about that, no nothing from anyone. COMMON customer service anywhere. Always hits the spot and gives that authentic TJ style tacos but tonight's crew was not it nor were the aguas frescas, tacos: no flavor and lastly the consomé was terrible.

When ever im craving a TJ style taco, this is my go to spot. Carne asada is flavorful. Love the guac smothered on the taco. The al pastor is also good but i prefer the asada.

My go-to spot for TJ style tacos al-carbon(charcoal grilled). That Smokey grilled smell & taste *daddy Taste is there 5 stars, my only quarrels are with how the meat is sometimes trimmed for grilling. Kind chewy sometimes, not sure if its not trimmed or poor quality cuts. Other than that, salsa is spicy and the guacamole for topping taste like magic. Service is what it is. I always phone my order ahead as I have had some issues ordering through delivery apps/online. Area is super sketchy it is in Compton. Parking can suck, there have been times I have to park around the corner on weekend afternoons. Pro-Tip: Get the hand-made corn Quesadilla if you have already tried the Tacos.

The tacos here taste as if you were eating in Mexico. Everything is fresh from the tortilla to the guacamole and all their salsas!

The food was delicious will definitely go back when near the Compton area. They are very generous with the meat and the tortillas are hand made and yummy. Very friendly and quickly served. It's a place to eat quick not a lot of seating but anyone can easily stand and eat.

Ordered carne asada tacos through Uber Eats. Every single taco was filled with crunchy gristle. Seen a lot of hype online about this place but never again. Barely stomached one taco and had to throw the rest of them away.

Que pinche asco de lugar!!! Eso no es cómoda de humano! Carne asada no que nada. Puro quiero. Comida fría desabrida. Según abiertos hasta la 1 de la mañana pero si no puedan ofrecer calidad corren temprano. Mejor ni abran. Que asco. Si me enfermo es por esa comida asquerosa

Is you really looking for tacos estilo Tijuana. This is the perfect place.... The tacos are bomb!! They have the option of eat there, takeout or delivery. Their delivery - really fast! There is only like 2 tables with chairs but hey , when the tacos are good it don't really matter if you standing or sitting down. Service is pretty awesome - they always with good attitude and that what makes them a a great place - good food and good attitude !! Do not think twice ! Just go and try them!!

Terrible service, waited over an hour for some tacos. Don't recommend terrible staff and communication. 1/10.

These are delicious TJ style tacos .. flavorful and they don't skimp on the meat ... I highly recommend the Asada quesadilla with the handmade corn tortilla.. it was delicious the tacos are drenched in guacamole Everything we ordered was delicious

Had carne asada, birria tacos, and tried the vampiro style. Food was great! was looking for TJ style and definitely found them.

I'm was raised in TJ and these tacos did not disappoint. Authentic TJ style taqueria. Hand made tortillas and well seasoned meat. I went when they first opened so service was fast and had no wait time.

Great food to end a weekday burritos decent size tacos handmade tortillas! Sooo good! The food is very good. The service is very friendly and the place is clean. I will definitely recommend this place and I will come back again to try other things on the menu.

They're fast and the food great I did go during the morning so this may change depending on the time you visit. They also have a little outdoor seating area which was cool.

Order a mulita and burrito and quesadilla and no guacamole no consome was put in my order. Food was ok but not the best. They just hype it on social media. So you can go waste your money. There's better tacos spots in Compton in front of Walmart.

The asada is as authentic as it gets 10/10 recommend. Como que estubieran en un asadero estilo baja

Ohhhh I'm full but I still want more of the tacos !! Grilled & juicy tacos so much avocado it was falling everywhere so goooood The Mulita is a must try!!! Had red Chile asada bits of chicken that omg so good Enjoy

People are no longer following instructions here I said no salsa and this is the second time they put it I get home and can't even eat it cause it's to spicy

Literal hole in the wall place. But wow they don't skimp on the food. Flavor is pretty spot on as tijuana tacos. I can have tacos anywhere but when I want good tacos I roll down the hood to this place. When I'm lucky I can find a spot in front. If not I don't mind parking down the block even if I have to walk to get my tacos on.

I've been ordering food in this establishment for many years now, they always forget something, the food is good but we always have issues with them forgetting parts of the order, today they forgot our salsa for the entire order. I called and they did not resolve anything, they even asked for "pictures" since they did not believe me that they had forgotten, I never got a reponse back, their service speaks volumes. Sad to not order from them again they lost a good and loyal customer.

A+ multitas are big and well served. I found my favorite place for tacos and militias.

I don't understand why or how this place doesn't have 5 stars. The food is authentic , fire grilled carne asada, fresh guacamole, super friendly service , also ask for the red and greed salsas from the back. The house salsa is spicy but if you want different levels of heat give these a try. Not much in the realm of seating it's outdoor and it's limited but so are most of the good taco spots in the area. Eat standing up outside your car or in your car with temperature control. Have the foodie experience of an LA HITW Taco spot. Estilo Tijuana is something that always makes me pull over no matter how hungry I am.

OVERRATED. Don't buy the hype, there are waaaaay better tacos on the same street where you won't wait an hour. The last time we went ended up waiting 50 minutes, they only delivered 10 orders and there were still 15 in front of us. We got our money back and went to our go to spot down the street (unnamed purposely, don't want it to get out).

Solid tacos, handmade tortillas. I'd be very excited if this was my local joint. Not as mind blowing as the ones I had at Ave 26 night market (RIP). Stick to the meats that come off the grill (asada, pollo)

06/04/2022 Seen this spot on tik tok , took the drive to the cpt. & WOW !!! What a s* it hole no parking not because it's busy but because of the apartment building next door & the taco trucks down the street! I ordered a burrito, quesadilla, and a couple of tacos . Waited 45 minutes and there was only 4 other customers???? The seating is on a busy sidewalk on some dirty tables & plastic stools. If you are looking for a good family restaurant this ain't it , all the food was pretty average but not worth the $40 price tag , best part was when I walked around the corner to my vehicle.... Someone stole my mirrors!! It was 3 in the afternoon!

Decided to try it today after seeing pictures of the it and to my surprise, it wasn't as good as it looked. The servings are good as they give you enough meat and guacamole. The handmade tortillas are a nice touch as well. Flavor-wise, there isn't much. Growing up minutes from the Tijuana border, a good taco wasn't too hard to find. I was hoping that these would resemble at least a bit to those I've tried many times. Unfortunately they didn't. TLDR: the servings are good but the tacos have no flavor

These are the best tacos I have ever tried in my entire life and the salsa is extremely spicy and made with Thai chili! I honestly never get tacos unless it's at this place! The al pastor tacos are amazing with the salsa and on top of that the workers are fast and hard workers, you just order, wait 7 min tops and leave! The best! Even though I live 40 minutes away from this taco place, I eat here at least three times a week. You will never have tacos from any other place if you start going here!!! So authentic and bomb!

I found this place on IG say people raving for it , so decided to go and try it out today. Very disappointed, the tacos had no flavor the asada was very bland. The avocado had no salt. Will not be going back for sure.

I just ordered food , the guy at register took my payment, than filled bags of radishes with no gloves on

Tacos were delicious and reminded me of bomb tacos I got in TJ. The Jamaica tasted a little different than what I'm use too but all in all good was tasty,

If you order birria in a big cup to go I'll strongly recommend you to check your cup before you leave the place, open the cup right in there and check if you did got MEET and no just the consomé it happened to me tonight had to drive back for them to barley put some meet in the cup, really bad service and no worth for $15!

I ordered this off Uber eats and spent $50 just to get some rotten avocado on top of my tacos. Honestly do not recommend this place. This is disgusting. I can't even eat this, It smells so bad. Both worth all the hype they get on TikTok

Bien codos con la salsa y eso que esta cara la comida. Stingy with sauce and the food is pricey. Loosen up yall it wont break your pockets. Not wasting my money here again.

This place is mostly to go service, they do have some tables and you can eat here, but it's not a fancy to go place.. this is the BEST Mexican tacos in LA area.. give them a try and let me know what you think about them..
