El Chile Poblano

Mexican restaurants in central Indiana differ on three points: cleanliness, service, and salsa. El Chile Poblano scored on all three. I had the Burrito Poblano, which is their version of the "stupidly large burrito." It was very flavorful, but I agree with Abbe C. that the food was a little salty. I still enjoyed it. Cheerful, friendly staff--and the salsa was good. If I lived in New Castle, this would be one of my go-to spots.

Their pretty awesome here. They give you a lot of food for your money. It is really reasonable for the quality of the food. They are nice if you smile at them and try to stir up a conversation with them. Many of them do not speak proficient English so that is why you must create your own customer service environment here. They will be really nice to you once you do. I just wish they wouldn't watch so much Mexican TV.

I had to come to this restaurant as it seems to be a favorite meeting place for old high school classmates.  There are chips and salsa on the table before you can even read through the menu, and the staff was very quick and efficient.  My food was a little salty, but I still enjoyed the shrimp al mojo y ajo. The margaritas were really great - no skimping on the tequila here! My fellow diners can be a bit rude and demanding (yes, my parents), and it was water off a duck's back to the staff.  I have to eat gluten free food due to celiac disease, and I didn't get sick, which is big for me. In a town littered with fast food and very little amusement, El Chile Poblano offers variety and as much atmosphere as you'll find in a dying post-industrial town. I will probably be back one more time before I leave to finish off my oy-vey-cation. If you're stuck in New Castle, I recommend dining here!
