POLIBERTOS TACO SHOP 2

My girlfriend LOVES this place. The street tacos are amazing. Very quick service at both dine-in and drive-thru. My only complaint...the hours posted online and the hours they actually operate are not the same. If you go after 9pm...call ahead, may save a trip. But damn good food, fast, friendly and priced well!

I stopped by Polibertos on 50th Street expecting mediocre fast food Mexican style. Wow! I did not expect to get some of the best enchiladas, rice and beans I've eaten anywhere in Lubbock! I'll be going there again next time I'm in Lubbock. So good! And, inexpensive, too. DELICIOUS!

A pleasant surprise!

This location used to be a Taco Bell. When I saw them remodeling the place, I was excited to see what moved in. I finally got a chance to try this place out the other day, and it really was a pleasant surprise.

When I walked in, my first impression was, "this not gonna be that good." The overall appearance of the place is pretty bland and basic. The kitchen looked pretty small, and the remodeling looked a little low-class. I could only really see one person working there, and it looked like the traffic was slow. They have an extensive menu overhead, with many choices, and I just could not see where all this variety could come out of such a small kitchen with minimal staff, with any quality, that is.

I placed an order for the Chile Verde plate, and my wife had the Carne Asada plate. We barely got seated before our name was called. Then I really thought that I was in for a disappointment. But such was not the case.

When I went to the front to get our order, the first thing I noticed was how heavy the bag was. I was like, "Whoa! this is a lot of food". The first bite of my delicious Chili Verde pork completely cured my fears about how the food would be. It was great. In fact, everything was great. The rice and beans were perfectly seasoned. My wife loved her Carne Asada just as much. And they don't skimp on the quantity of food they give you. Oh! Did I mention the salsa? Yeah, those were great too.

Poliberto's was a welcome surprise I did not expect. Great food at a great price. The place could stand a little sprucing up, but as long as they keep the food tasting great at a great price, I will be coming back for more.
