La Poblana

"This is a nice place to grab some good Mexican food. Located right outside downtown Bryson City, NC. I had the torta asada and my husband had the El Rancho. The portions were plenty, I even had some to take home. Every meal is served with homemade chips and delicious salsa."

"Great service and atmosphere, but not quite so with the food. We had the combo which includes rice, bean burrito, and spinach quesidilla. The rice was very good, the beans in the burrito were more watery than I would like, but still tasted ok. But the spinach tasted like moss scraped off a rock in one of the nearby creeks. The best part of our dinner was the chips and salsa."

"My wife and I passed this place a few times in our travels around the area, and it seemed to attract quite a few customers. So we swung by to see what it was like. The quantity of customers ended up biting us in the rear because there were no seats available. There wasn't anyone at the door to help us, and the wait staff were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Fortunately, the bar tender saw us and invited us over to sit while he tried to get us a table. 20 minutes later, we were seated. The atmosphere isn't anything special, but it is cozy. The bar tender ended up serving our food as well, which was nice because he was pleasant. The chips were decent, and salsa was pretty good. My wife really enjoyed her enchiladas. I had a burrito and chimichanga. I have to say that the beef burrito had very nicely flavored beef, and there was a lot of it. Normally, a beef burrito isn't all that special. I've also gotta give credit to the refried beans. They had great flavor, and I had trouble stopping myself from eating once I was full. Overall, I can see why this place is popular. I hope to visit again."

"Wow! We are faithful patrons of Guayabitos and thought this was THE Mexican spot in Bryson City, BUT La Poblana just stole the #1 spot. Great service to begin with. Very friendly and accommodating staff. More importantly though, FOOD IS OFF THE CHAIN! Super delicious and authentic. Did not have to wait too long for it either. Soup, tacos, El Molcajete everything was top notch."
