Los Poblanos

Ate here for the first for lunch and if I had a trophy to give them I would. A very good place to eat and the staff is awesome. Worth every penny.

Came here after going rafting. At first it looked like a Taco Bell inside, and had us not expecting much. Then again, I have found the more run down looking restaurants tend to be better.
Food wise, it was good, not great. The orders could be customized to your liking unlike other places. They also offered actual steak tacos and burritos unlike other Mexican restaurants I have been to.
The service was amazing! Very friendly staff, and I believe the owner. Unlimited chips and salsa, and they were quick to refilling and cleaning up empty plates.
Definitely recommend giving them a go.

What made this experience was the manager/​waiter. He was extremely friendly and funny. Unlimited chips and salsa while we waited for our food, free refills on sodas, and great prices on delicious Mexican food. Can’t beat it after a day of kayaking. Will be going back.

My wife and I decided to try Los Poblanos Mexican Restaurant this evening. While we have eaten in several Mexican Restaurants in the Southeast TN area during the past few years, this was our first visit to Los Poblanos.
The food was delicious. I like the fact that you can create your own meal. They have a Combination Dinner where you can select two of several meat entrees. The meal comes with rice & beans. The entrée choices are Chimichanga, Enchilada, Taco, Burrito, Fajitas — just to name a few.
The only complaint that I had was that the beans were a little runny, but the rest of the meal made up for that.
The chips that they serve as a appetizer were a little too thick for my taste, but they were not tough like many thick chips are. The salsa and cheese dip had just enough kick to taste good, but not so much that it was too hot.
All in all this is a very welcome change of pace from the copycat Mexican Restaurants in the area.

By far the best Mexican food I have enjoyed in SE Tennessee! The food is fresh and flavorful and for a price that is a breath of fresh air in an age of $ 8:00 fast food burgers. New location is far improved over the old one in Benton.

3 stars for the food + 1 star for being smart enough to build one of the only Mexican restaurants in this entire county.
The food is solid — I didn’t really have anything that blew me out of the water, but it was all tasty. I particularly liked their crispy tacos with chicken, which had thick strands of shredded white cheese all over them, and their chimichanga was really good.
Everything is priced reasonably (cheap), as we’ve all come to expect our Mexican food to be, and the location is nice. Service is decent, though we couldn’t quite figure out who was actually our server… this wasn’t too bad until we had sat there for more than five minutes after all of our dishes were cleared waiting for the check, only to find out that we were just supposed to walk up to the cashier and get it ourselves (or at least that’s what we eventually had to do). Very odd.
The short of it is that I recommend Los Poblanos — basically, I’ll recommend supporting any restaurant in this county that isn’t a fast food chain
