Fonda La Poblanita - St Louis

I finally got to try this place. I know they have some more authentic stuff than the usual at most places, burritos, chimichangas and the likes which are tex mex but not authentic Mexican. The food was very good and did not disappoint. I?m from Mexico City and their lamb barbacoa tasted pretty similar to the one back home. The pastor was also good and the gordita de chicharrón (which is super hard to find around here) was awesome, big, full of meat and super crunchy. Theyhave other items that I haven?t seen anywhere else in St Louis like cemitas, machetes, mojarras, etc. Can?t wait to come back and try some more stuff.

This is my second visit. Could not remember the name then it popped up as a suggestion. So now I can give it a proper review. Slightly questionable location neighborhood) Traffic seems to try to run you over. Not the restaurant fault. The restaurant is hard to tell if it's open as the neon is up under the awning at the front door. But there are two signs in the doors window letting you know they are infact open but of course you see the neon by this point. Placewas clean both visits pre/post 2020) Last time I ordered tacos....tripe 1) and tongue 2x)... Tripe was very tasty, the latter a bit tough and chewy. This time I got a Machete!! Not a weapon but a taco...well more like a quesadilla photos shown). I got it with pork. It was quite tasty and filling for 11$, not bad. The employees hid in the back while we ate. Which was ok, but no one checked on us after we ordered then received our food. Had to go to the counter toget their attention. Food is good, location sketchy, service is so-so. A third return?? Possibly, I saw cow feet on something, I got to try it.

Nice neighborhood authentic Mexican restaurant. Interesting menu items. Staff were very helpful.

Such a great authentic Mexican restaurant. Probably one of the best ones in the city. I highly recommended the pambazo if you like tortas. I will be back for sure.

Incredible Mexican food. The steak burrito in particular is cooked to perfection. Glad to see it was fairly busy for a Sunday afternoon.
