El Buen Sabor Poblano — Restaurant in North Brunswick Township

Recommend: tilapia tacos*, salsa verde, campenchanos Good: tamales, barbacoa tacos Ok: chicken flautas, arabes tacos, lengua (tongue) tacos, tripa tacos

*Probably would have been a 3 star rating if we didn't like the tilapia tacos so much. They were definitely the favorite. The fish was tender and nicely seasoned.

The seasoning and cook on other things were a little hit or miss. Barbacoa had great taste but too salty, arabes were dry, lengua was disappointingly dry and bland. The salsa verde was used liberally to save many of the tacos.

The flautas were nice and crispy but the chicken inside was dry.

The tripe had some crunchy bits that some people might like but I found them tough.

The campenchanos in the flour tortilla were also a bit salty but I liked how soft the tortilla was.

The tamales had nice texture, but the cheese stick inside was...

“El buen sabor Poblano“ is the best possible name for this place (which translates to “the good (Pueblan) taste”. The food was DELICIOUS.

A very unassuming spot. The prices were very reasonable. The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful and came out fresh and fast.

I had an order of the tacos al pastor- excellent in every way.

My wife has the steak platter (tampiquena style) which was super generous. Essentially we could have split this platter and been satisfied. mole sauce on enchiladas, flautas (deep fried tortillas rolled with chicken), a well seasoned steak, rice, beans, salad and freshly made guac.

My son (1yo) had bites of both dishes.

We also ordered the champurado (hot chocolate) and horchata (cinnamon rice milk) which were both good.

We plan to come back here...

Brehhhhhh

So tasty

The restaurant is a part of a house and I joked that this is the nicest restaurant in someone’s living room I’ve ever been to lol. It’s very cute, and the food is so tasty. I got the grilled steak that comes with rice beans salad and tortillas. I devoured it. Enhaled it. And the price, 10.65. That’s way more than fair. I went with my family and all you could hear was the metal utensils hitting the plate, conversation was not needed y’all. Our plates were left clean, no doggie bags needed. I’m excited to try other food dishes from the menu. If you like Mexican food, and real honest to god Mexican food not Tex mex but Mexican food that has been blessed by the presence of la virgen de Guadalupe herself (a statue of her is in the corner looking on approvingly) you gotta try...
