La Poblanita

Amig@s -

There is a Mexican restaurant called La Poblanita and I'd like to know just what it means.

Thanks in advance.

(Female word) from the State of Puebla (or the City of Puebla, Mexico).

In Mexico there is a state (and a city) called Puebla. The name given to people (or things) from that state is "poblano or poblana". La Poblanita is a diminutive of "poblana". So, La Poblanita is like saying the little woman (or girl) from Puebla. Cheers.

P.S. Be mindful that Puebla is a relatively common name, and there are many towns in the Spanish-speaking countries (I think mostly in Spain) with that name.
