Rancho Poblano - ELMSFORD

The ambiance at this restaurant is beautiful and the staff is friendly. However, I found it odd that most of the waitstaff did not seem to speak English despite the menu being in English. The service was good and the food was decent. I ordered shrimp with paprika, which came with rice and guacamole. The rice, beans, and paprika were delicious, but the shrimp was a bit bland. My wife's dish, which included chicken, shrimp, beef, mushrooms, and paprika, also suffered from a lack of seasoning. We did enjoy the cactus dish, which we shared with a friend. The drinks were well-made and the restrooms were clean. The restaurant had beautiful decor and followed COVID-19 safety guidelines.

If I could give this restaurant half a star, I would. The place is advertised as Mexican, but the music playing is the only thing that fits the description. The walls are adorned with fake grass and flowers, sombreros, Mexican skeletons, and plastic toucan birds. We ordered appetizers, but when we told our waitress we wanted to also order main dishes, she insisted that the appetizers were sufficient. The tortillas appeared to be store bought. I have never been to a place that dictates what you should eat, with the waitress suggesting we only have appetizers. The soda listed on the menu for $2 was charged as $3.50 for a well drink. The refried beans were watery with no taste, and the Mexican rice seemed like it came from a box. The burrito was mostly filler with little meat. I believe anyone who claims this restaurant serves good food either doesn't know authentic Mexican cuisine or may have connections to the staff. I think Taco Bell would have been a better choice. There are other authentic Mexican restaurants near White Plains or Scarsdale where you can enjoy the real flavors and taste of Mexican cuisine. I was so disappointed that I didn't even want to try dessert, especially since the waitress never came back to check on us. The service was poor and the management was lacking. I do not see this restaurant lasting long.

This is the best Mexican restaurant in the area where I live. It is the second location and has a large dining area with beautiful decorations. The food and drinks always meet my expectations.
