Words from Visitors

“ We really enjoyed our first visit, so we went back a second time. I think we might’ve just ordered the wrong dishes this round—I thought the food was just okay, but my husband absolutely loved it. The service was amazing, though. We sat at the tortilla making bar and got to watch the ladies hand pressing tortillas and cranking out tacos. That part was super fun. I’ll definitely go back, but I’ll probably try different dishes next time—my husband’s a big fan of this place. ”
“ Very tasty and creative food in an energetic environment. I really enjoyed the mash up of tacos and dim sum. All the staff was very nice and helpful. We sat at the bar on our second visit and I liked it even better. Good food and great people. ”
“ We had such a great time at China Poblano in Las Vegas! My friends and I grabbed seats at the bar, which turned out to be the best spot in the house. From there, we got to watch the team making fresh tortillas right in front of us – such a cool touch that really added to the whole experience. The bartenders and servers weren’t just friendly, they were super knowledgeable. They gave us thoughtful recommendations, explained the stories behind some of the dishes, and really made us feel like we were part of the experience instead of just customers passing through. My server, Christopher, was also very attentive about any allergies, taking the time to explain the preparation and cooking process of different dishes we asked about. The food itself was outstanding – unique, vibrant flavors with that perfect mix of Mexican and Chinese influences. Fresh ingredients, beautifully presented, and every plate felt like something we couldn’t get anywhere else. If you’re in Vegas and want something memorable, definitely sit at the bar at China Poblano. You’ll get great energy, an interactive experience, and a meal worth talking about long after. UPDATE: My friends Went back today and tried the chilaquiles with chorizo and egg, and the birria tacos — both were absolutely amazing . China Poblano continues to impress every time. ”
“ China Poblano Review This review is for a visit on August 13th 2025 Having stayed at the Cosmo every year since 2013 , we always find time for China Poblano. It’s a staple of the hotel that is consistent in high quality and excellent service . We particularly enjoy sitting bar side and seeing many of the food items prepared right in front of you . On this trip we came in during their happy hour(La Hora Feliz) from 430–6p Monday through Tuesday . There is a good amount of items on the happy hour .The Salt Air Margarita in particular is a great choice , and has been on the menu since the restaurant opened . We tried the wontons and really liked them . We also ordered the twenty vegetable fried rice and the queso fundido with chorizo . The last two items are not on the happy hour menu , but we rarely pass it up . Another highlight at China Poblano is the management team and staff . The general manager Sandy Mejia is very kind and accessible, and regularly checks on guests . There are many staff members who have been at the restaurant for years , providing great service and are always kind on every visit . Overall it’s a great choice for either a quick bite or a nice lunch/dinner , and we can’t wait to come back ! ”
“ A mix of Chinese and Mexican food. Love the decoration and food is pretty good. Give 4 ⭐because some of the food portions are small, but most of them are very flavorful. The traditional dim sum is a must try, a little small but super tasty. Dan Dan noodle is small and so is the Vivian China taco. The road to xian and carne Asada taco are my favorite. ”
