Best Dishes

China Poblano’s best dishes from foodspotting.com – Salt Air Margarita Carnitas Tacos and Twenty Vegetable Fried Rice

The mouthwatering Carnitas Tacos at $6 a piece seems to be everyone’s favorite. It contains fresh, house-made tortilla and flavorful braised pork that is topped with salsa verde cruda and garnished with crispy pork rinds. The result is a star dish that captures the eyes and palate as it drips in colors and flavors.

Another China Poblano favorite is the vegetarian-friendly Twenty Vegetable Fried Rice. The Food Network once featured this healthy dish on its program “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” and at $19.88 the popular dish includes fried rice topped with a variety of fresh, seasonal vegetables which results in a unique and modern twist on the traditional Chinese staple.

Amongst the drinks, nothing shines brighter than Chef José Andrés’ personal creation, the Salt Air Margarita ($16). This drink reflects the chef’s popularity in creating avant-garde culinary wonders. It contains fresh lime juice with tequila blanco and topped with the chef’s exquisite salt foam. No wonder it is the restaurant’s signature drink, as the salt-infused foam on top of the margarita is a unique twist on this traditional Mexican libation. Once your lips have touched the salty foam and your tongue has tasted the playful margarita, you will probably ask for another Salt Air Margarita.
