Menu

Open for lunch, dinner, and takeout, China Poblano’s menu offers Chinese noodles, dim sum and soups, served alongside tacos, guacamole, and ceviches. Here the two cuisines live side by side, not as a fusion, but as an amusing mix of elements from both traditions, together in one place.

Tequilas

Lower altitude and higher temperatures make Jalisco's lowland tequilas more aggressive with robust and earthy notes.
