La Poblana 600 South Central Avenue, Lodi, CA 95240

"Seems like a family run restaurant, but they definitely need to upgrade their basic service. They served chips and salsa, but the salsa was served in one of those tiny take-home mini plastic containers. So u get like a tablespoon. Chips were store bought blah. Went to try the Mole Poblano. I asked the waiter if they made hand-made corn tortillas, and he seemed confused. Then he said yes. So I asked for the handmade tortillas. When the food was brought to my table, the tortillas were wrapped in foil. There was no tortilla warmer. I mean, ok, just another observation. But these should be basic items. The Mole was ok. It was dark and rich, but unfortunately, it lacked any flavor. When I opened the tortilla foil, the tortillas were store bought. When the waiter finally came by to check, I told him hey these are not hand-made tortillas. He then asked me , "They're not?". I said look these are store bought." He then asked, "So u want hand made? At that point, I figured I don't think this guy knows the menu here.. I told him, "Do u mind asking the kitchen if they make handmade tortillas?" He went and asked. He then came back to ask what kind? OMG. I was ready to just leave.. I said corn. He left, then he came back again to ask, "How many?" I should have said 1 dozen to take home, but said 3. By the time they made the tortillas, the food was cold. I just took it to go. Then paying was another ordeal. They seemed to have problems with the older type of credit card machine.. That's my honest review. I wish I could give more stars, but 3 is about right."

"We thought we were going to get real authentic Mexican food. The chile relleno was not even close to being authentic. They don't put hominy in their menudo and the fajitas de res were just Plano.. the salsas are good and the staff is nice but the food wasn't good that day. Won't come back."

"Absolutely delicious, authentic Mexican food. We had Quesadilla de Huitlacoche, Flor de Calaba and memelas, everything tastes home made. Service was nice as well"

"Good place to eat and different meals"
