Hands down best taco’s I have ever had. Recommend Poblanos over any other restaurant in town.
A must eat spot in Tofino!!!! We were in the area for a week and it was the nicest place we ate. Food was delicious and large portions. Wide variety of food options to suit everyone’s taste. The pick your own poke bowl was perfect for my vegetarian sister and myself with an egg allergy. It’s in a lovely atmospheric and picturesque spot near to the sea with plenty of seating options. Staff also very friendly and approachable
Wow! The best poke bowl I’ve ever had, hands down. I really enjoyed being able to build my own bowl, and the variety of choices for base, protein and toppings was great. I ordered a sushi race base with raw salmon as the protein. For toppings: edamame, seaweed salad, pickled ginger, cucumber, crispy shallots, carrots, sesame and furikake seasoning. For sauce, I asked for sesame ginger and a bit of the teriyaki. The man who was working the truck was very friendly and efficient, and I had my meal in no time.
I wish that I would have taken pics of the food we ordered. My boyfriend had the poke original. I had the chicken karaage (can't remember the actual name on the menu). The chicken was amazing. The serving size for each meal was huge, I could have lived on it for 3 days. Atmosphere was a super chill vibe!!!
Celiac safe, Gluten free food. It was INSANE! Loved it so much, definitely recommend. Staff were so reassuring and happy to help
This was a great little find! Off the beaten path but really good tuna and salmon and a great selection of bases and add-ins. Had a guava soda with it too that really hit the spot. Super nice guy working there too, very friendly.
Amazing if you’re vegan there’s so many options here. Also amazing if not vegan! First time checking it out and we built our own bowls. I tried both the fried tofu and falafel with the ponzu, teriyaki and sesame ginger sauces and it didn’t disappoint. The cook was happy to recommend the vegan options. He makes it right in front of you and it was ready in a matter of minutes. Absolutely incredible, we will be back. Probably tomorrow !
Really delicious 'build your own' poke bowl! The chef was very accommodating and the food arrived quickly and tasted fresh and delicious! Recommend 100%
