Awful!

by Dgrrrl81

I love Mexican cuisine for the great flavors and the fabulous tequila and these were both seriously lacking at Mi Pueblo.

1. Frozen margarita tasted like strawberry syrup slush, couldn't even tell if there was tequila in it.

2. Tortilla soup smelled and had gross unappetizing pieces of chicken in it.

3. Chile Relleno was a big fat tasteless soggy mess.

4. Salsa was all heat, no actual flavor. It tasted like it came out of a can, not even a jar, but a can.

Overall, this was such a disappointment. I recommend the only Mexican place I actually like when I'm home in Cleveland- Luchitas. It is far better than anything I've had in the area.

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: Everything- I still get nauseous thinking about this meal

Love Those Hot Carrots

by buzzydog

I felt as though I was back in Mexico. The place is nothing to look at, but a real Mexican experience. Food was authentic with a good variety of menu options. Salsa was fresh and hot, I loved the spicy carrots. Portions were large and food was flavorful. Food could have been hotter and served quicker. I found the price's reasonable. I will definitly make it a frequent stop.

• Pros: Food, drinks, price
• Cons: parking

Looking for tasty Mexican food in Ohio

by chiliverde

I read comments from others and I was fairly excited to try this place since it seems hard to find good Mexican food in Ohio. I was born and raised 40 years in California near LA where there is an abundance of such -- I was disappointed first by the chips which are clearly not homemade but are store bought/from a bag. The salsa was the same and had the familiar quality of Herdez brand canned salsa. The refried beans had the distinct taste of canned pintos that have been smashed and served up. The mole verde was unflavorful and was notable only for its saltiness. I'll just have to keep looking because Mi Pueblo definitely does not fill the bill for my taste of authentic Mexican food.

• Pros: easy to find, parking in back
• Cons: the food is not good
