Blue Poblano
Mexican · Provo · 1796 N 950 W
A Mexican kitchen at a Provo address with a difficult history: it is the second restaurant this directory has recorded at that location, and the first one closed. Giode ruled on 2026-09-15 that the entry should be written with that history on the page.
Where it is
At 1796 North 950 West, north-west of the campus core and away from the University Avenue and Center Street corridors where most of this site's Provo restaurant coverage sits. It is a drive rather than a walk from downtown or from BYU.
Provo addresses are grid references rather than house numbers in the usual sense: they count outward from the origin at Center Street and University Avenue, one hundred to a block. Our guide to how Utah addresses actually work explains why the same number means a different place in the next city over.
What we know about it
The clearest fact about this address is one our own data already held before this entry was written: **venues.json records Mountain West Burrito as closed at the same location.** Blue Poblano is the kitchen that followed it. That succession is the single most useful thing a reader can know here, and it is the reason our Mexican food guide describes the address rather than treating the restaurant as new.
On the food, the guide files it as Mexican cooking at the address and phone number that were Mountain West Burrito. That is a deliberately narrow description, because the honest state of our coverage is that this site has written very little about the cooking itself.
**And we cannot confirm it is currently trading.** A major third-party listing marks it closed, and there has been no visible activity on the usual platforms for a long stretch. As with the other unresolved entries in this directory, that is a signal rather than a verdict: we have no primary source either way, and desk research does not settle it.
What makes this one worth extra caution is the pattern rather than any single listing. Two kitchens in succession at one address, with the first confirmed closed and the second showing closure signals, is a location that has been hard on restaurants. That is a statement about the site, not about anybody's cooking, and it is the kind of thing a directory is for.
An earlier session had already added a call-ahead line to our Mexican food guide for this restaurant. That session was right to, and the caveat has since been strengthened rather than softened. If you are going, call. If you arrive to find something new trading at that address, that is a third entry in the succession and we would want to write it.
Everything we have written about it
This is every page on Provo.com that names Blue Poblano, most substantial first. The directory exists to route you into the writing rather than to replace it.
The durable facts, and the ones we refuse to carry
- Name: Blue Poblano
- Address: 1796 N 950 W, Provo, Utah
- Cuisine: Mexican
- Where we read the address: our own page, not a third-party listing
- How we know the city: this site prints the city immediately after the address
We do not publish opening hours, prices, phone numbers or ratings for any venue in this directory. Those are the facts that go stale, and a directory carrying them is wrong within a season while still looking authoritative. For hours, ask the restaurant.
