text: I made the mistake of having such high expectations of China Poblano because they were just completely crushed I had heard so much about culinary genius Jose Andres and that is the reason I even went into the restaurant after perusing the menu If it was not associated with Jose Andres I would have immediately done a after seeing the price tag on a serving a dim sum nnJose Andres is known for his tapas servings and so our group ordered a number of tapas servings to share And they were just OK It was not bad but it was not mind blowing either If I am paying for a mini mini pork sandwich it BETTER blow my mind and it did not My favorite dish was the eggplant dish but it was not fabulous enough for me to return I even tried eating the Chinese dish and Mexican dish side by side to see if that would make a difference in the experience but it did not In fact I still do not get it It was not a fusion restaurant but rather two menus in one nnThe ambience is cool and trendy but next time I am considering Mexican or Chinese I will definitely go elsewhere where the flavor satisfaction matches the price I can get ambience elsewhere
