    Had a beef tongue burrito. Burrito is dry and bland. Beef tongue still has skin on it. Would not come again

    Perfection!

    Amazing, authentic, outstanding food AND service.. 10s across the board in every category, clean & comfortable.

    Two taco combo- shredded beef
    Brianne L.

    Came here before heading to chino hills for an afternoon hike. Parking was easy. It's located in a large strip mall area, so no issues. It was hard to tell door to go in, as there wasn't obvious signage, but I figured it out. At first impression, this place looks a little dirty. The ceiling vents are black and that is a little concerning. They do both quick serve and table service here. When the waitress learned we were eating in, she told us to have a seat and brought us menus, chips, and salsa. The salsa was spicy, which was great. I ordered the two taco combo with shredded beef. It came with beans and rice. It was A-okay. I prefer the shredded beef at my local place, but it was good. Overall this place was pretty easy and quick and the food was decent. I'd probably hit my normal spot in the general area, but this place was fine.

    Three enchiladas never look so good.

    If you are looking for a true authentic Mexican restaurant, look no further. It is a family friendly environment. Prices for their meals are very reasonable. If you are near the area, come by and ordered a meal from El Pueblito Mexican Restaurant. You will not regret it My wife and I ordered the chicken fajitas. It is big enough for two, and a friend of mine order the enchiladas.

    Chicken nachos. I added the red sauce.

    I've been going to this place for over 20 years. They have consistently great food. My favorite is the chicken nachos. The people there are very nice and they are always busy. It's a very relaxed atmosphere.

We parked across the street near an intersection with a stop sign. Our table inside had a nice view of the Placentia Water Tower, and it felt somehow relaxing to gaze at it in the distance. I ordered the pork carnitas ($18), which included pico de gallo, rice, refried beans with melted cheese, and three warm tortillas. The portion size was large, and I took a some carnitas home. While the carnitas were tender, they weren't as juicy as I hoped. They provided only three tortillas that lost their warmth quickly in parchment paper. The rice had a good texture that had the right amount of firmness. I also tried the guacamole, which had a somewhat fluffy texture with a pleasantly light and savory flavor. While not affecting my review of this restaurant, I wish they served a mole dish.

The bartender seemed far more interested in talking to people at the bar than helping us. At least there was TVs to watch waiting for some service which was nonexistent here. We were about to move to the dining area when the bartender finally came over to take our order. I asked for no onions and ordered a Bloody Mary. The food came out with onions, and the Bloody Mary never showed up at all. Kind of wondered why we even had to order and just let them bring out what they think you want or don't want. We also received some guacamole which we never ordered. WTF???!!!??? couldn't even get our order right. We were just forgotten as the bartender never came around to check anything. She just stayed at the bar area talking to a few people that she knew. If you're not going to provide service than way go to work???? This place is terribly managed, and honestly, it's not surprising that most of the other locations have closed. If you want any kind of service, don't sit in the bar area. The food itself was decent, but it doesn't matter much when they can't follow simple requests--or just don't care. This was my last visit. Good luck.
