Really good food and unique dining experience. Love that Houston is so diverse with International cuisine options. Dining in felt like I had transported to a restaurant in Colombia, so the ambiance really felt authentic. I sometimes crave yucca frita and plantains, and I believe I found the place for my quick cravings. The portion sizes of the meals will not leave you hungry! I was also able to ask for no sugar in my fresh fruit drink. The restaurant also has a bakery, which includes a variety of individual desserts or cakes for purchase. Outstanding server with quick service as well. read more

I have been coming to Mi Pueblito since the 90s when it was basically the only Colombian restaurant in Houston. It's wonderful that this establishment is still around and thriving. The food is still so good. And just take a look at some of the pastries He estado veniendo a Mi Pueblito desde los años 90, cuando era básicamente el único restaurante Colombiano en Houston. Es maravilloso que este establecimiento todavía existe y esta prosperando. La comida sigue siendo tan buena. Y solo eche un vistazo a algunos de los pasteles read more

Came here for lunch with some friends and it was SO GOOD. The cappuccino was creamy and frothy, and I loved that it wasn't sweet. We got some empanadas to start with, which were so crispy and flavorful. For my main dish I shared the La Bandeja Paisa with a friend. The portion was HUGE and the meats were so delicious. I didn't care for the bread it came with, but everything else was amazing, especially the plantains and pork. We also got some pastries at the end, which were all delicious! The service was friendly and quick, and the restaurant was lively with live music! LOVED my experience and will definitely be back! read more

Where do I begin! Loved, loved my time here! Came on a Friday night and they had live music but it wasn't too loud or crowded. Server was very nice and accommodating. Such a huge menu! I ended up going with the kids dinner since I was craving rice and beans. The plate was huge! I ended up getting the steak and it also came with a small piece of sweet plantain but there were other options. Food was delicious. My friend had the Sancocho de gallina - wow! I only had a small taste but I already know I'm coming back to get that soup. I think it was the cilantro and yucca that had me! I also tried the coconut lemonade which was really good! It had coconut shavings and just the right amount of sweetness. I will be back! read more

We were on this side of town looking for Colombian food and happened to find it through maps I want to say. It's really big inside. They have a bakery connected to the restaurant! This place surprisingly even has a bar, the few Colombian places we've been to don't ever have bars so that was nice. The service was good and the food came out within a good time period after ordering. It is 5pm when we came so there was about 5 tables in when we were here. The menu is huge and they have a lot to choose from! Make sure to stop by and try them out. I'd give the food an 8.5 out of 10!!! Also the restrooms and the restaurant it self seemed pretty clean! read more

Las dos mujeres de enfrente son unas pedantes y completamente irrespetuosas. Qué decepción me da ya que mi familia y yo venimos aquí mucho. Mi hermana me envió a recoger su orden y dijo que me asegurara de pedir el cambio. Ya hubieran sido 20 dólares de cambio o unas monedas es de muy mal gusto que se burlaran. Que falta de profesionalismo. Espero cambien su pésima actitud. read more

My friends and I have been craving Colombian food after our recent trip. I was recommended to try this place by a coworker. Upon arrival I was a little confused as the parking lot had an attendant. It was good because he made sure restaurant guests were able to find spots, they were pretty busy. I started out with empanadas one pollo one carne both seasoned well. I had a guanabana jugo which didn't have any added sugars to my liking. I decided on a seafood stew entree it was served with salad rice and plantains. Very well done broth was the perfect balance of flavor and thickness. I also enjoyed a limonada de coco. One of the countries best known beverages. I can't wait to share this place with family and friends. read more

One of the better spots in Houston for Brazilian typical food. They have a bakery at the front of the restaurant that we also love! A little bit on the pricier side compared to the restaurant. Service could be a little better but the food is definitely worth it. Nonetheless, this restaurant is a solid 4.5/5 for us. We will definitely be returning and trying different dishes on the menu. Favorite dish: Appetizer empanadas de carne mechada. Absolutely delish! read more

We visited Mi Pueblito on May 28, 2025. I started with a Mojito, but the mint leaves were rotten. We proceeded to order the main dishes. To make a long story short, everything was overcooked: the steak, the fish, and the Cazuela de mariscos. The patacones were so hard and dried. Overall, I used to enjoy this restaurant, but my recent experience has left me disappointed, and I'm not planning to return or recommend it. read more

Usually the food is superb, hot, and on point. Today the food was mediocre. Their famous empanadas were lukewarm and the chicharron of Bandeja Paisa is usually crispy but today was stale and chewy. The service is always superb! We love coming here and would still eat here, but hopefully next time the food is hot and fresh. :) read more

Im not from Houston but I was up there looking at some rims and tires and asked about a good place to eat. One of the salesmen told me about this place and said to try it if I wanted authentic Colombian food. The place was positively amazing. The food blew my mind. The serving sizes the friendliness of the staff how helpful they were because I didn't know what to order and they pointed out some great suggestions. It's been a while since I've been, and I was just going through my bookmarks and was extremely happy that I saved it. I have an idea of where I'm going for lunch!! read more

No tire su plata comiendo en este lugar. Estoy seguro que hay lugares mejores que este. Pague $25 dolares por un "stew" de cola de res. Lo que traen es una sopa, o sancocho, que en cualquier otro lugar cobran $10 dolares. Los precios son ridiculamente superiores caros, el servicio es mediocre. Me da la impresion que a los duenos no les importa si el cliente esta satisfecho o no. Despues de ir mas de 40 anos a este lugar, no mas. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years and it never disappoints! I no longer live in Houston but try to stop by when in town! This was one of the better experiences! Arepa was buttery and delicious! Empanadas were beef, tasty. The milanesa was cooked perfectly. The servers are always attentive and everyone makes sure you're taken care of. Live musician on Saturday walking around to tables is a nice treat for Saturday lunch! You MUST try this place!! read more

I organized a group outing to Mi Pueblito. They had always given us separate checks. I admit. We were a bunch of folks, maybe 18. I was surprised when they told me only four checks per table. So we ordered by groups. The 20 percent tip was included. I understand giving separate checks can be a hassle but they've done it before. They carry a tiny machine where you can easily pay individually. The shrimps in the shrimp cocktail are tiny ones. They're served on top of an avocado with a pink sauce and served with crackers. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food. My passion fruit drink was good; however $4.50 is pricey. The drink is made from a small frozen bag of pulp which you can purchase in a package. It shouldn't be more than $3.50. Unfortunately I won't be taking my Internations group there any longer. Paying individually isn't allowed any more. read more

I was born in Colombia, so I judge the food more than most people. The service here was great, but the food was really disappointing. I ordered empanadas, chorizo, and tostones. The inside of the empanadas was not good, they didn't have that much stuffing either. The chorizo didn't taste like a typical Colombian chorizo. Not a great place if you're looking for authentic food read more

A friend treated me to my very first experience eating Colombian food. All I can say is "Wow!" When I first walked into the restaurant I was treated with a smile and warm welcome. That really set the tone for me. The atmosphere was nice for a late lunch crowd (around 1pm) The wait staff was friendly and professional! We ordered a large plate of food we could share that included steak, beans, rice, pork belly, sausage and every flavor of empanada on the menu for our appetizer! Delicious! I'll definitely be back! read more

The restaurant is very nice. They have a large food and drink menu. I ordered the steak with salad and french fries, a Coco lemonade, cheese arepa, and tried the tamale and beef empanadas. Everything was delicious and since I came near Thanksgiving, they also had a table set up for you to sample what they had to offer on the catering menu for Thanksgiving. All of the items on the Thanksgiving menu were new to me and taste really good. I have no complaints. However, this spot is kind of pricey, I just want you to know please do not let this disuade you from going. There's also a bakery on site and a guy was serenading each table by guitar. It was a nice experience! read more

This will be a very strange one-star review in both Google and Yelp. I do reviews on both but not very often and I'm pretty sure every time I've done one it's been five stars out of enthusiasm. It is strange because I am not complaining about the quality of the food, the service, the atmosphere nor the employees. And I'm not going to complain about the prices because frankly inflation has made it expensive to eat out anywhere. This is my wife's favorite restaurant. We have been here a number of times without incident. Today I believe the manager was making the rounds to chat with customers and when he approached our table he noticed my plastic bag with five habanero peppers in it. My father was from Mexico so I'm half Mexican and I love picante. The manager told me that I cannot eat my habanero peppers and it is prohibited to bring in outside food. I commented that it's not as though I were bringing in a bag of hamburgers from a fast-food place or any competitor and that these peppers came from my refrigerator and I tend to eat habaneros with almost every meal. In short, he said the rules are the rules and I put the bag in my pocket. He did tell me that they have Tabasco and jalapenos. I told him I quit using Tabasco when I was 13. I have been bringing peppers or extra picante hot sauce to Houston restaurants for 40 years and love to joke that I pack heat. Not once have I been told it is unacceptable to spice up my meal to my liking. My wife is from Colombia and I am well aware of the fact that most Colombians do not like spicey hot food. She told the manager we will not be coming back. Maybe we will. If we do, I will chop my habaneros, leave the bag in my pocket and discretely put them on my food to spice it up like I prefer. read more

So I have been to this place a couple of times always left satisfied. You enter the restaurant and you pass by the bakery, which is also excellent. The place is nice, all the waiters are super friendly and helpful. I have been there when it's full and the waiter always checks on you. The prices are good and the food is delicious and they put plenty in the plate. The inside of the restaurant has a great vibe and they serve alcoholic beverages. My favorite is at the end of the meal I get a small coffee. The plate I purchased was the medium plate the large is just, way to much food for me. read more

Don't go to Mi Pueblito if you have babies that are bottle feeding. Right after being seated I put my stuff down and had a bottle of Ozarka water that I placed on the table. I was about to place the water in my son's diaper bag, but before I could the waiter immediately came up and told me that they don't allow outside drinks. I told him the bottle water was not for me it was to make my son's formula incase he got hungry. He repeated they don't allow outside drinks and said rules came directly from management and then proceeded to ask me again to put it up. After that I did not place an order and left . I don't support businesses that don't allow bottled water for families with babies. This restaurant is not baby friendly. Never again will I ever go back.... Mi Pueblito does not support families with babies!!!! Good luck if you go with a baby. read more

I have been wanting to visit this place and I finally was able to! Colombian food is my favorite and I was excited to try it out! Service was great! Our waiter took great care of us! The place is clean and spacious as well which is greatly appreciated. Looking at the menu I was disappointed that they didn't have an empanada plate on the menu. They only sell them individually. But the empanadas were still good and packed with flavor! For my main dish I got the bandeja paisa and it was delicious! The chicharon was super good and the rice and beans were amazing! The meat was okay to me. Overall I would come back and try more menu items since they do have a lot of options to choose from! On my way out I could not leave without getting dessert! I got a quesillo which is like flan and some others as well to try! Can't wait to be back! read more

Welcome back to Bogota, Columbia... This wondrous restraint filled with all the flavors, and not the thick laden hot spices people wrongly think of! Never do I understand how they achieve such harmony of fresh flavors without the butters and oils required by other cuisines. Plus you know it's true Bogota when you see more juice than sodas on the tables. From late night snack plates to full dinners... this is a cant go wrong choice. My waitress Carolina supported by her colleagues delivered a welcoming experience. Fluent in both Spanish and English which is a real plus. The ambiance adds to the effect with soccer and light music which lets you actually talk with table-mates. Come and enjoy a fully stocked bar which made a solid Mojito, and capable of so much more. I was also impressed with the catering menu, so this is a real gem for many occasions. Now they just require exiting to the incredible traffic and the tremendous altitude to complete returning me to fond and joyous memories of past travels. read more
