Taqueria el Poblano
A few weeks ago, my friend Skarlet introduced me to Taqueria el Poblano in Del Ray. It is a charmingly nice and colorful neighborhood eatery that really hits the mark.
Then, this weekend, I went to the Arlington location with my friend Em. The only difference between the two is the size -- it looks like the Arlington one might be a twice as large. That's not saying it is big, by any means.
The food is great for a neighborhood place. It is simple fare from a short, but varied, menu. The variety is good, the service friendly and the salsa addictive.
I've tried the duck carnitas and the tacos al carbon. Both were excellent. The duck is quite tasty, and not as greasy as duck can be. The lime marinated steak in the tacos platter was quite good. The were served with their signature poblano peppers and cheese, with soft tacos to wrap your meal in.
And the prices are right. Everything is reasonably priced, with few menu items above $10. And the salsa is lovely, did I mention?
Check it out if you are looking for damn good eats at reasonable rates.
