I really loved the food. I wish this place was close to home but ofc New Brunswick stays having the best genuine Mexican food. I went here because of the recommendation from Reddit to google reviews. As a Valentines gift from my bf this made my day. It does get busy for this restaurant and it’s small yet I wouldn’t mind waiting as the food makes you forget these things. The prices are affordable and the taste along with the many plates you can get is what makes me want to come back. I wish up North the quality of Mexican food could top this restaurant but sadly no…

Talk about authentic. La china Poblana is the real deal. The food is as fresh as can be and the flavors are all there. I definitely recommend if you in the East Brunswick area to try this place. The staff were very professional and prompt. Good atmosphere. Would definitely go back to try out more dishes.

Having lived in SF and NYC, I’ll confidently say that this place is up there with the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. The tamales were great and my chimichanga was delicious, and the pricing was fair for such huge portions. 10/10 would recommend

The wife and I wanted to give this place a shot as we have driven past it a few times and have seen good google reviews. We were served chips, with a refried bean salsa and green salsa. Both excellent. Their homemade guacamole was also very good. We ordered our meals and were so happy with the not only the taste but the size. My burrito was huge. Filled with meat and cheese. Only thing I wish I did was cover it in some sort of salsa which I saw the table next to me do. Do I think this place is a 5/5, probably not. More so like a 4.5 but definitely not a 4! Excited to go back and try a few other things on their menu.

This is the best Mexican food in New Jersey. I’m from SoCal and spent many summers in Mexico. I know authentic Mexican food, before this I didn’t think NJ offered it to this degree. The prices for the portion sizes are beyond fair and the salsa is easily top 3 salsa verde (including even Mexico) I’ve enjoyed. The breakfast is made perfect whether you enjoy a classic American style or something Hispanic you’ll be satisfied. The ambiance and decor is beautiful and well done. The staff is extremely friendly and everything is extremely clean. Not to mention many classic Mexican pastries and a variety of aguas frescas!!!

Since discovering this gem over the summer, I’ve been in practically every week! I’ve had flautas, burritos, quesadillas, tacos, and more and I have never been let down. I absolutely love the chicken tinga and salsa verde here. Everything is so fresh and tasty!

Authentic Mexican food that is always fresh and delicious. The prices are fair, and the portions are great. Free delivery, and BYOB if dining there. The folks who work there are very nice.

We’ve vacationed in Mexico for several years. The flavors and food presentation at La China Poblano is typical comfort food. The menu is surprisingly extensive and we’ll have lots of opportunity to explore it. Portions sizing is good. Service is good. Seating is a little tight since half the restaurant is dominated by an open kitchen.

Food was delicious and filling, I only ate 2 tacos but they come with 3. I feel like the beans and rice could have more flavor. I still recommend the authentic taste. It have a nice atmosphere inside and decorations.

I really enjoyed this place. The positive reviews were right on target. The food is authentic and delicious. We had the chicken cholupas and chorizo tacos as the main dishes. Both were excellent. The guacamole was crazy delicious. I loved the way the dining area was decorated. Bright and colorful. The female server was very sweet and friendly. She told us that sometimes there’s a two hour wait for a table. The portions were just enough.
Don’t let the outside fool you like it did to me. Definitely try this place if you like Mexican food.
