authentic, friendly, fun and our favorite place to eat! having lived in new mexico, our family has been long searching for a place like el pueblo. in other words, we were looking for something that truly tasted or even resembled the delicious fare we remembered. el pueblo not only proves that real mexican food can be found in cincinnati, with it's expansive menu options and addicting homemade chips and salsa, it has truly become the one place our whole family loves to gather, and on a very regular basis! the staff makes you feel at home and oh-so-welcome, too. el pueblo is the place we've been searching for, a place of laughter, great service and unbelievably tasty food -- the kind you never forget!

mediocre. chips were warm and tasty, and so was salsa but it went down from there. guacamole was way too lemony and the orders we had of cheese quesadias had velveta like cheese on it.


however, we had fast andfriendlyservice and rice and beans were good.

top of its game!. el pueblo is a favorite lunch and dinner spot for my wife and i. like many mexican establishments that cater to an american palate their menu is a nod to the authentic. "authentic" however is widely used to describe latin fare north of the border and has become a bit of a misnomer. "authentic" latin cuisine is a vibrant mix of textures and flavors that, like the culture, offer a hearty ole'. unfortunately for us gringo's what most serve up is dull and lifeless. factory made tortillas, pasty beans and processed cheese does not authentic make!

thankfully el pueblo is part of a distinct but growing few that allow authentic latin flavors an expanded role in their dishes. americans undergoing a culinary renaissance are more discriminating nowadays and respond in kind. add afriendlyattentive staff and one can easily see how a somewhat off the beaten path mexican place has prospered and continues to grow its clientele. enjoy!

great place. good food, fairly inexpensive. service was quick andfriendly. . . and they turn their tables over quickly, so if you are waiting, you won't be for long. i will definitely be back.
