El Chile Poblano

We stopped here for a quick bite while on a road trip to Ohio. The food was great! I was pleasantly surprised by the menu, which had extensive options. I had tacos and my husband had a burrito. Nom, Nom nom. Both were very good. Service was a on the slow side, but friendly enough. I highly recommend!

Wife and I stopped in while passing thru New Castle which we do every few weeks. Hungry for Mexican we stopped in. What a treat! I love vegetarian fajitas. They were as good as I ever had! Server was friendly and attentive. Food delicious. Restaurant was spotless. A great eating experience. We will definitely be going back. You should give it a try!!!

LOVE this place! Best Mexican food I’ve had since living in Texas. Their shrimp is cooked PERFECTLY. Would eat here everyday if I could. Absolutely the best

The chicken and rice soup is delicious. It would be even better with cheese and if served in a bowl instead of foil. Great for lunch and dinner and a suitable hangover remedy.

I use to go here twice a month for the 3 years I lived in the area. The food was amazing and the prices were fair. The women that worked here were always very nice and would sometimes even bring my food to my car. I really enjoyed being a customer here. I hope to go back some day.

This place is a gem! The food is exceptionally good. The menu is extra large and gorgeous, containing some interesting additions for an ‘authentic’ Mexican restaurant.
Our Hawaiian Fajitas were awesome. Highly recommended. Everything else, with the exception of the fried ice cream, was tasty and well prepared.
Come for the food, though. Service and scenery could be better. Beware: the high chairs are covered with a layer of grease!

We popped in for some carryout while at an event in New Castle. Ordering was easy (other than having a lot of choices) and the food arrived quickly and all packaged to go.
Our lunch entrees also included chips and salsa. We opted for the ‘regular’ salsa and it had plenty of spice. We both ordered a lunch combo — cheese enchilada, beef burrito, and rice, then added a ground beef taco. Everything was hot and flavorful.
Definitely worth trying if you are in the area.

Liz and I have patronized this great place for five years.
ICE COLD Dos Equis Amber.
The BEST carnitas this side of Hotel California, and a warm family environment is guaranteed if you waltz in for a delicious meal !

I’m in New Castle a few times a year, and if I’m craving Mexican, this is my go to place.
I’d like to give it a 5 star, but it’s not quite deserving. The service CAN be spotty, but is usually pretty darn good.
The food is tasty, but for Mexican fare, pretty basic. The menu LOOKS big, but upon further perusal, there aren’t a ton of choices. But, there ARE enough for the casual diner.
Considering that New Castle is a little bit off of the beaten path, I’d say they are worth a stop if you’re in town.

Te amo, El Chile Poblano!
Born and bred in New Castle, there aren’t a whole lotta options for going out to eat. This place has been mine and my family’s old standby for a whole lot of years. It’s great for a quick dinner or to take a large group to and get a little rowdy. How many times have I sucked down an entire margarita pitcher? Well, definitely more times than I (and my liver) would like to think about.
Drinks are good (margaritas, also sangrita margarita which is I think a combination of sangria and margaritas and is 100% delicious). Food is also soooo good. My favorite on the menu is the Quesadilla Rellena which is a big ass quesadilla stuffed with your choice of chicken, beef or shrimp (or combo!) and sauteed peppers, onions tomatoes, etc. Comes with your own rice, beans and guacamole salad which is important when you’re trying to clear the 5,000 calorie mark.
I’ve had fajitas, enchiladas, chimichangas, soup, random salad, random other entrees and everything is so good. Service is as you would expect — quick and to the point. Have a bit of a language barrier depending on who you get, but that’s part of the fun.
If you find yourself in New Castle and need something that’s not the McDonald’sBurgerKingWendy’sPizzaHutClusterFuck on State Road 3, then dip stop at El Chile and fill up on comida mexicana

Huge Portions of fabulous food, Friendly Service, Great Prices. This is the best restaurant in New Castle.

Very good food, decent service, and great prices. In my opinion this is the best Mexican resturant in New castle.

We were on our way back home, going through New Castle at lunch time so a quick look on Unilocal suggested El Poblano. One our favorite foods is Mexican and this place looked and sounded good. Well, it did not disappoint. The previous reviews were right on. Fresh hot chips and salsa were served as we sat down to order. The fajetas were on the lunch menu so we ordered the chicken, $ 7.99. They were as good as any we’ve ever had. Everything was made with fresh ingredients which really made the meal. The service was quick and very friendly. It’s definitely on the list for a return on our next trip up that way.

Mexican restaurants in central Indiana differ on three points: cleanliness, service, and salsa. El Chile Poblano scored on all three. I had the Burrito Poblano, which is their version of the «stupidly large burrito.» It was very flavorful, but I agree with Abbé C. that the food was a little salty. I still enjoyed it. Cheerful, friendly staff – and the salsa was good. If I lived in New Castle, this would be one of my go-​to spots.

Their pretty awesome here. They give you a lot of food for your money. It is really reasonable for the quality of the food. They are nice if you smile at them and try to stir up a conversation with them. Many of them do not speak proficient English so that is why you must create your own customer service environment here. They will be really nice to you once you do. I just wish they wouldn’t watch so much Mexican TV.

Its ok nothing special. Chicken tacos are dry. If you are in Newcastle you will be better off to go to losamigos

I had to come to this restaurant as it seems to be a favorite meeting place for old high school classmates. There are chips and salsa on the table before you can even read through the menu, and the staff was very quick and efficient. My food was a little salty, but I still enjoyed the shrimp al mojo y ajo. The margaritas were really great — no skimping on the tequila here! My fellow diners can be a bit rude and demanding (yes, my parents), and it was water off a duck’s back to the staff. I have to eat gluten free food due to celiac disease, and I didn’t get sick, which is big for me. In a town littered with fast food and very little amusement, El Chile Poblano offers variety and as much atmosphere as you’ll find in a dying post-​industrial town. I will probably be back one more time before I leave to finish off my oy-​vey-​cation. If you’re stuck in New Castle, I recommend dining here!
