mi pueblo

this place is solid. good salsa, good fajitas, and good rice and beans. it was surprisingly good. i would recommend for lunch. the place has fast service and a good atmosphere.

love it!!. i was skeptical..but i enjoyed m pueblo ..and my favorite entree is the chicken mole. reminds me of the home made mole.. is good.. and of course have a margarita..ayayay!!

this restaurant used to be our go to, but after tonight i can’t imagine ever going back. we sat at our table at 6:30 and ordered right away. we always order the same easy meals at any mexican restaurant (enchiladas, chimichanga, and a cheese quesadilla for my 1 year old). after we ordered, other couples came and sat at the surrounding tables. those people ordered and received their food before we ever saw our waitress again. at this point our toddler is getting very agitated because we have been sitting with no food for 45 minutes, and people at other tables were offering us their food so we could feed our hungry kid. finally, we see our waitress and my husband walked over to her to tell her that if our food wasn’t out in the next few minutes we are going to leave. all of a sudden our food came out, but they brought the wrong entree for my son. we corrected the waitress who brought out the food and continued to wait for our correct order. about 15 minutes later we still did not have our correct food, and i told our waitress that we were going to be leaving. after all of this the manager came out and said he get our quesadilla and box our food up for us to go. i refused now that it was an hour we had been waiting for our dinner and an antsy toddler was not going to wait around any longer. it’s so sad at the decline of what used to be my favorite place to grab a good dinner, and the lack of caring by the staff.

i have a lot of trouble reviewing mexican and tex-mex restaurants in the dfw area. i don’t think any of them are really bad, but i don’t think a lot of them are really great either. they are all pretty much the same. i try to steer away from the major chains like el chico, el fenix and pancho’s though. i found mi pueblo to be delightfully different. the restaurant is quite big with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating, and a lot of parking to match.  

the host was quick to welcome me, and set me up with a menu and desired seating. drinks were next. my server got my drink order of iced tea and we were off to the races. she got my order and the next thing i knew, a humongous basket of chips was brought to the table along with their version of salsa. the chips were simple, lightly salted tortilla chips which i liked. i wished i liked the salsa more than i did. i am not fond of salsas that have a pasteurized tomato taste which this had. it was chilled and there was plenty (they brought me a carafe). i ate plenty too, so it couldn’t have been too terrible. i ordered their beef chimichanga which came with refried beans and rice. i really liked this, and when i say this i mean the entire entrée! when my server arrive with the plate in hand, i remarked how good everything looked. the plate was entirely full of mexican delightfulness with a wonderful smell. the chimi was lightly fried and had a nice covering of sauce, but not drenched. the beans were whipped smooth and the rice was deliciously moist, yet the grains were not sticky and were separate.

my server came to my table a couple of times to check up on me and to bring extra iced tea. she was pleasant throughout and was prompt bringing my ticket. i quite enjoyed mi pueblo. other than the salsa, i recommend this restaurant highly. mi pueblo will be on my short list of tex mex restaurants that i will return to.
p.s. they have a second location on davis blvd, a few miles from here, that i have not reviewed.

we like their food - good texmex which is sometimes hard to find. staff very friendly - must often order to go & take it home so i can make my own guacamole - only because we like mine the best. decided to try another mexican restaurant very close to mipueblo - didn't like it at all - so much so that we went back to mi pueblo only 2 days later. we love their charro beans, as well as anything else we've ordered.

excellent service, food is authentic to tex-mex, quiet family friendly atmosphere. enjoy the warm salsa as well as the regular and the chips are crisp and light.

both mi pueblo locations have the best mexican in the area! their steak is great, as are the tamales and chips with salsa. carne asada is my go to there!

the food quality here is just bad.... try it out for yourself.

came here with a buddy and got an appetizer sampler prior to ordering our meal and once we ate the appetizers we didn't even want to see what the entrees would taste like, so we paid for what we had and departed.

everything else was good including the service, but just not my kind of mexican food place.

fajita beef. the fajitas are awesome. always have great service. the homemade tortillas are the bomb!

i always get scared when the first and only thing i see upon entering a mexican restaurant is white people...(calm down, i love white folk, and nutella. even my first loves were white girls...stephanie, misty, hillary, lauren...i'm surprised there's not a skylar somewhere in that...) back to the review..

but i braved through and walked a bit further...
50/50 mix of white and brown folk dining.
family environment.
all hispanic staff.

ok we can eat here..

chips-9
salsa-7.5
food average-7.2
tortillas-8.4 (4 per plate, no extra charge)
vibe/atmosphere- ta bueno, plenty of sunlight washing the tables and floor, staff speaks english and spanish. there's a patio. i've found white people love patios, no matter the weather. spanish jams plenty out there.

do not eat there. as my husband and i are both veterans we found all the restaurants serving vets on vets day were overly busy. we decided to go to mi pueblo. i asked if they had a vets discount, no. ok, a mexican restaurant doesn't, didn't really expect them to have this. also being a senior citizen, they don't have a separate menu for us. and i don't eat much so i asked if i could order from the kids menu. the waiter said it was ok and took my order. he came back and said that he would have to charge $1 more because they would change the soda size to an adult size. i didn't care i was hungry. i still couldn't finish the kids size meal (that was below average to begin with and did not come with everything that was mentioned on the menu). but when the bill came and it was the price of the meal plus the $1 plus $2.95. when i asked the waiter about it he tried explaining away about charging me the price of adult meal. i told him i didn't order or have an adult meal. he became very loud to the point my husband and i told him to lower his voice and i asked for the manager. she came over with an attitude and the waiter came back with another receipt showing me what the price would have been if i ordered ala carte trying to make an inexcusable and unacceptable point. and all the while loudly announcing " we are correct" over and over again, even to the next table. i paid the bill, will not go back and will report to my credit card company. horrible customer service, besides being illegal.

well we wanted to go but they refused to serve us.

good service, good value. overall, the food at mi pueblo is good - but not too dissimilar from many other mexican restaurant chains. one item that really stood out to all of us was the bean dip skillet appetizer, which was really outstanding. the rest was good, but nothing exceptional. the service was very good - our server was very friendly and quick to bring refills of drinks and chips. the prices were reasonable and portions more than any of us could finish.

the chips and salsa are very good. fantastic mango margarita on the rocks but too many rocks. i ordered the shrimp enchiladas and they were very bland and the shrimp was not deveined. i won't come back!

best authentic mexican food in dfw! they have an amazing menu with alot of variety, my favorite salsa i have ever tasted (and i've lived in texas almost 20 years), and don't skimp on portions at all. very good fajita beef, quesadillas are huge, even the standard rice and beans that accompany many entrees are somehow better than at other restaurants. casual atmosphere. service is very fast also, i often go in for lunch or dinner and order as soon as i sit down and the food is already out 5-10 min later. if you are looking for a cheap hearty meal of great authentic mexican food, go here!
