"I love the atmosphere here; it was perfect for getting out of the house to write. The decor is very cozy and the music they had playing on the radio was relaxing and conducive to focusing. The staff were friendly and patient with me asking questions and taking forever to figure out my order. I ended up deciding on a chai latte and it was excellent. I definitely recommend and plan on going back (and deciding what I want before I get there this time"

"We recently rediscovered El pobre restaurant for the first time since they closed during the pandemic. We have ate at Papa's and Beer and Los Amigos numerous times since then. Everything was awesome!.. the quesadilla Rica, beef and bean burrito, enchilada, beef taco. .. The grilled chicken is cooked and seasoned perfectly. Unlike Papa's and Beer bland, dry grilled chicken I know good food. I used to have my own restaurant The chips and salsa are the best in comparison to the other two restaurants. The chips are thin and crispy. The cheese sauce is awesome Loved the refried beans. The only shortcoming was the rice was a little on the mushy side. This was probably an exception. Everything else made up for it. The night we went they were short-staffed and we had to order at the counter and our food was brought out on paper plates with plastic utensils. The food and great service made up for it. Thanks Ell Pobre! You're number one! .. again"

"The hostess and two waitresses were busy clearing tables in a restaurant that probably had around 20 tables. I understand that many places are short-staffed these days, but this situation was unacceptable. Why change our reservation to an earlier time if they weren't prepared for us? We ordered cocktails and they didn’t arrive until 8:28. My drink was decent, though somewhat small, while my wife's pear pollywog cocktail was completely oversalted and unpalatable. My wife is diabetic and had taken her insulin beforehand, but after waiting so long for a drink, I let the waitress know about our frustration. She assured me that part of our order would be prioritized. When the waitress passed by again, I inquired if there were any bread or crackers available for my wife to eat. She bluntly said no. The first two dishes finally arrived around 8:45. We had ordered devils on horseback, pork belly, onion soup, and sweet potato fritters. The stuffed figs were disappointing, lacking blue cheese flavor, and the bacon was overcooked with an unpleasant texture. While the pork belly was decent, it was far from the life-changing experience the waitress had claimed and was only about three ounces at best. The onion soup had good broth, but the bread (which I was told they didn’t have) was rock-hard and burnt. It was so tough that when I tossed it on the table, it bounced. The sweet potato fritters were overcooked and resembled deep-fried strings, making them completely inedible, even though I was very hungry. I’m relieved we didn’t bring our kids; it would have been a nightmare. Our children have dined with us in various restaurants across the country, and we’ve always had better experiences. I’ve left reviews for other places we recently visited just to ease into writing this one. I might have been extra disappointed due to my high expectations, but I was genuinely excited to find a restaurant with a promising menu close to home. Unfortunately, the service, food, and overall management were lacking."

"Amazing food that covers other sins. First, I want to say that everyone leaves laughing and happy. It is one of the first things that I noticed when I arrived. We sat near the door, and it was a joy to watch. It's a small place and tables are a bit too close. The back room is an unreasonable cluster where people are right on top of each other. It seemed stuffy when we arrived and that turned into a glistening sweat as we ate. . The server was delightful. She knew the menu and described things well. We really enjoyed her. We ordered cocktails. Her wine was delicious. My old fashioned was perfect. The starter salad was great for my wife. Even my little plate of greens and berries were unexpectedly good. The wait for our meal was unpleasant. We were hot and sweaty. The restaurant was annoyingly loud. We mentioned the heat to the waitress who was sweet and agreed but could not solve the problem. I had scallops with veggies which were amazing. I loved every bite. The scallops had that perfect crispy outside and tender flavorful center. My wife had the beef rib over pasta. She raved about her meal. I snuck a bite and it was flavorful and tender. She carried on about how delicious the pasta was and how incredible the mushrooms were. The meal was truly exceptional. There was a fly that would not leave our table. At the end of our meal, it found a mate and made love on the window sill as we waited for the check. Even they left happy."
