Mi Pueblo

disappointing

by rebecca doman at Citysearch

Let me preface, Mi Pueblo used to be the place to be 6 to 7 years ago, packed, waiting for a table, kinda like how Melt in Lakewood is now. The last few years my husband and I have gone sporatically and it has been hit or miss. After last nights experience, I will NEVER be going to one of my favorite places ever again. I ordered a Burrito, wanting to get bean, yet the wattress stressed a vegetable one or an avocado one would be better. So I got a vegetable one and what was inside was more than shocking. The ingredients contained the same carrots, celery, and potatos from the soup. It was the same texture and taste as the soup, which leads to believe they laddled it from the soup. How can you serve this? My husbands meal was cold and he asked for corn tortillas receiving flour. Food is way too overpriced and horribly a disgrace to what it used to be.

• Pros: salsa and pickled carrots
• Cons: overpriced soup ingredients in burrito

Awful!

by Dgrrrl81 at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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
