I wanted to try their tacos (chicken, steak and campechano) and ordered 3. There was ample seating so I decided to eat in. Yall....there was a big bone in one of my tacos. I'm happy I saw it before I bit down on it. When I told the cashier and showed her, she told the cooks. They proceeded to laugh, while I was standing there. How rude, I thought! The cashier offered to prepare me another one but I declined. I didn't want anything else they cooked. The buffet was not very tidy but I didn't eat from there so , meh. The store part was actually pretty cool. I didn't buy anything as I only ventured over there for the food. There's a little sweet shop in the front that sells goodies along with street corn and elote. I ordered the street corn and it was delicious and inexpensive. I would definitely go back just for that and to shop in the store part. read more

I love having this grocery store nearby. In addition to your traditional grocery items they also sell fresh fruits, breads, and meals. I like to get my fruits here since they're often fresher than Walmart's options. They also have good deals on meats and you can go right up to the counter and have them bag stuff up for you. That's a big deal for me since cooking for one can be a struggle portion wise. Though busy, the store has always been clean when I visit and the staff is also helpful. read more

Hubs and I popped in here for some fresh produce and a treat. I will now be doing most of my shopping here! The quality of fruits and veggies is super high and it's super affordable. Fresh herbs, spices, and tons of hot peppers! We enjoyed meandering through the bakery and trying not to buy everything (I will return for a cinnamon roll). As you get to the back you're greeted with a sit down restaurant. Go there. Now. You're welcome. After you check out you can grab a sweet treat at the little counter. Just go. Get one of everything. Especially the tres lechés cake. It'll restore your soul. read more

Love Mi Pueblo and the selection of baked goods and fresh tortillas and meats it has to offer. For some reason everyone stares at me not sure if it's because I am not Latin / Hispanic. I found the staff is nicer and more receptive to you if you at least try to speak Spanish so an hola and gracias goes a long way I was always intimidated to try the food court because of all the stares I get but I fjnally found the courage too. The buffet is good but not great, however what a fantastic bang for your buck, $13 for all you can eat! read more

I saw Mi Pueblo Supermarket as I was leaving dinner and decided to check it out. After wandering the aisles, at least for me, I was not a big fan. I just found the store's offerings a bit weak. While nothing stood out singularly, as a whole, it was just a let down. read more

Mi Pueblo es muy excelente. This place is a Latin American cultural experience. If you enjoy exploring other cultures than this place is a must stop. A true SUPER market that is spacious and clean. Here's a scavenger hunt list of unique items to search for: Tamarind slushie Pickled pork rinds Mexican street corn Nopoles (cactus) Star-shaped pinatas Habanaro peppers Tortillas machine Giant cookies Cow head Taco toppings bar Churos Mexican Coca-Cola Chorizo read more

The restaurants inside is amazing. They literally have the best products/produce. My fave spot to go for baked goods as well. They won't disappoint, give them a try. read more

I absolutely love the visit to stores like this. It is a true cultural experience that I have enjoyed coming to many times in the past. But I guess I just haven't written a review for it yet. My favorite part of international stores like this: the meat section. I always feel like there are so many options that I have not explored. They did not have it on this visit, but the last time I was here, they had whole pig heads. And as a person with deep roots in south Louisiana, I love a good head cheese (not that I would make it myself). But having that option is something out of the ordinary in Birmingham. I truly enjoy exploring the multitude of products that I didn't even know existed. And as a food person, it makes me want to educate myself more on the things I am missing out on. I am not a huge sweets person. But the panaderia is so extensive and really looks quite tasty. When we lived over this way, I would come and get jalapenos for recipes because they had the most extensive selection. This allowed me to pick the best ones I could find. But the entire produce section is very well supplied in general. I highly recommend checking it out! I have yet to eat in the restaurant in the back. But it is on my list of things to do. Great store with very friendly people. If you haven't been, I hope you will soon! read more

Going down hill alittle. Not as good as it used to be. This location anyway. Meat department has quite a stench now. People have been getting sick from the buffet and snack counter. Just a red flag. Not as trustworthy as it looks. As with most everything nowadays.... don't just grab it off the shelf and stick it in your mouth.... check dates, packaging, when you get it home, atleast pay attention to smell and color before you throw it in a pan. read more

Wonderful fresh corn tortillas. Two pounds for less than $3. Found everything I needed for low prices for birria tacos. Love the meat counter as it's the only place I can find goat and oxtail. read more

I'm so into Mi Pueblo that it's just ridiculous. Yes, it's just a grocery store but it's FULL of ingredients that you just can't find anywhere else. Where else can you get a bag of cactus or a whole cow's head? AN ENTIRE COW'S HEAD!!! I love going in and checking out the produce. It's super fresh and they have some of the best prices in town, no sale needed. I also like to look over the spices and see what I can use and stop by the meat department for some fresh chorizo or round pork. I also like to grab a bunch of grapefruit sodas and a bag or two of their tortilla chips. It's all just so good! Although I've never been to either they have a sweets counter upfront and a restaurant in the back with a hot bar. They also have a very cool bakery that charges you by the lb for food. It's wild to see all of their treats spread throughout the cupboards in the wall. read more

The store was so much fun to visit! They had a little snack bar when you first walk in. We got the mangos with tajin, chamoy, and lime - it was absolutely delicious. They also have a restaurant in the back. If we would have known that, we would have definitely eaten lunch there. It looked great! Their fresh produce was remarkable, and I think I may go there from now on to get my fruits and veggies. The store was clean, and the employees were very friendly. I will definitely be back! read more

Mi Pueblo is another one of the many great international options on Green Springs. The supermarket is stocked with authentic Latin items representing an array of countries from Mexico to Central America. Be sure to walk up the bakery aisle and see the cookies, breads, muffins, and desserts. The meat department offers cuts and seafood not found at the nearby Publix or Walmart. The real reason to come by Mi Pueblo is the restaurant in the back of the market. I had 5 tacos for less than $10. The restaurant has a salsa bar with fresh cilantro, pico de gallo, and a variety of salsas for your food. You can also order the buffet, with many hot options to choose from. Tucked away next to the old K-Mart on Green Springs it's easy to see that many people in Birmingham are yet to discover the gem of Mi Pueblo. read more

Mi Pueblo - Tacos! - International Grocery Near Me - Homewood, Alabama

The store has gone downhill since our last visit. Though it's well-stocked and the people are nice, it was filthy when we were there recently. The floors were dirty and the restaurant area was dirty and unkempt. We did order food, and it was good (they have great tacos), but we wondered about food safety given the general conditions. Maybe we caught them at a bad time, but it was off-putting. Cleaning is not optional, especially in a food store. It should be immaculate. It can be done with a little attention and effort! read more

The place is huge, clean, and well stocked. I went here today with a Caribbean island native who is a good friend. I was impressed by the store offerings, the size, and and cleanliness. It is obviously targeted at a Latino clientele and Spanish is the first language here. But I am a white guy not fluent in Spanish and I felt comfortable and everyone was nice. There were non-Latino locals buying there groceries while there and prices on ordinary items an Alabamian would buy at any grocery store seemed average and comparable. Some of the meats and fish seemed prices better. While there my friend and I ate lunch in the cafe portion in the back- fried whole fish with Mexican beans and a little side salad. It was very good and I'll go back for it again. See photo. read more

I live on the other side of town so I don't get to come here much. When I do, it's not for weekly shopping, but for my personal "fix". You see, I'm a churro junkie. I have been for half my life. I crave that amazing dough with a sweet inside, fried to perfection and then rolled in sugar. I can't get enough. Mi Pueblo has a bakery with lots of great pastries and breads, but I always grab a handful of churros. I've tried most of their other baked goods, and they are great, too. While I'm there, I spend about an hour walking up and down the isles looking at their meats, produce, and other international goods. I will pick up some great items I can't find elsewhere and take them home to the kids or bring them to my office. I also love their restaurant in the back. They have great tacos and quesadillas. You can add your own toppings for whatever taste you're going for. Always great and the staff are always kind and helpful. What looks like just an ordinary grocery store is so much more. This is a (not so) hidden gem in Birmingham and I would implore you to go visit. If you have never been, go...but stay away from my churros! Happy dining. read more

The most amazing supermarket in the Birmingham and surrounding areas!!! Best prices, freshest produce, fruits and vegetables from all over the world... fantastic bakery!!!! Dairy section I can spend hours in trying to decide if I want Mexican, Honduran, Salvadoran cream and cheeses this week... fantastic Fresh butcher shop, every thing you can need is in this supermarket... including an amazing deli with a hot table and a menu you can order from!! I personally love the ceviche, the papusas, the Mexican and Honduran tamales, the Torte is more than I could eat but delicious!!! I will travel the 2 hours to get to this place and make a day of it each time.... but all my groceries and have lunch... then of course order lots to bring home!! . We need you in Fayette, Al!!! read more

Super good pan dulce and the store was very clean and quite large. I was surprised to find such a large store in an area I didn't feel like had a huge Hispanic population. Although I am from out of town so I could be mistaken in that assumption. Either way, excellent pan read more

not only is it a grocery store but there's a buffet/restaurant in the back left corner! They serve up some mad ass tacos, i'm talking authentic mexican tacos, not that flour crap. Their quesadilla is amazing, definitely try the steak read more

I could seriously spend hours in Mi Pueblo! Not only do they have very inexpensive produce, they have a wide variety of meats and a fantastic bakery. The meat department was by far the most intriguing. You'll find your every day cuts of chicken, beef,and seafood, but throw in chicken feet, frozen cow heads, massive pork rinds, etc. I really enjoyed walking around and just looking at everything...it's definitely not your run-of-the-mill meat department! There's also a great little restaurant to the left of the meat department. Very inexpensive and very authentic. I suggest ordering the tacos or the eggs al gusto. Nothing that I've tried there has been too spicy, but they have a little station with cilantro, onions, salsa and hot sauce in case you want to doctor yours up. Mi Pueblo is a great grocery store and a great place to get a taste (literally and figuratively) of other cultures. Definitely go check it out! read more

I love a great grocery store and Mi Pueblo Supermarket fits the bill perfectly. Upon first walking in you'll notice that it is well organized with spacious aisles and neat shelves... this makes it easy to find a specific item or to browse for new/interesting things. I'm more of a grocery-store perimeter kind of girl and this place's produce/fruit/meat sections are off the chain... seriously. The fruit/veggie area is massive, intuitively laid out and filled with old favorites and new options. A welcome find was the banana selection which is robust with at least 5-7 varieties of bananas/plantains outside of the bland cavendish variety found ubiquitously in big-box grocery stores. I picked up a huge bunch of red bananas which were $0.99/lb and heavenly tasting. I also found ripe papaya, guava, and mangos (2 for $1). (Can you tell my spirit animal is a fruit bat?) The veggie selection was equally impressive with well-priced beets, peppers, cacti and other, more typical, staples. Next, I wondered back to the meat section and was delighted to find an enormous variety of typical and atypical cuts of beef, chicken, quail, duck, pork, lamb and goat. The seafood section was a tad smaller but very popular so I didn't manage to get a complete inventory. I'll definitely be returning to their meat counter to pick up some quail and duck the next time I entertain. Aside from the impressive fresh selections, there was also a huge pastry bar, smoothie counter, and handmade tortilla counter. I didn't venture too far into the dry goods area but it was HUGE and undoubtedly holds all kinds of fun treasures. If you are looking to mix-up your normal grocery routine, are an adventurous eater or are looking for xyz item that you haven't seen since your last vacation to somewhere exotic, this place should be on your radar. I'll be adding it to my weekly grocery rotation and look forward to seeing how their fresh sections change seasonally. read more

I've now been to the buffet about 4 times and feel that it really is my best option if I don't have my mind set on anything. While it would be nice if it were labeled, it's a buffet so just try a bit of everything first and go from there. If ordering from the menu board, do yourself a favor and get a pupusa and a ceviche tostada. I still need to try the whole fish which looked great on a table and on Derek's picture. Also don't forget to try the panaderia. Some pastry items are hit (bread pudding, churros) while some are misses (the croissants are a bit dry) but well worth it for $.90 to $1.25 each. read more

I found you! On my last Birmingham trip, I drove to an empty lot in where Mi Pueblo should have been. The Yelp page didn't seem to indicate of any hints of a business being closed down, so I figured one day I will find this place. The Mi Pueblo in San Jose, California had always cooked the most amazing marinated pork I've ever had in my life that no other Mexican restaurant could compare so of course the first and only thing I went to was the al pastor. It tastes differently from the pastor in California, but $3 for 1 pound fed me for 3 meals. The service is good wherever you are. Although this may be an odd way to describe this Mi Pueblo, it was both clean and run down. It's not as colorful as the locations in California. The bakery section is always my favorite part of each Mi Pueblo. They sell blocks of breads that are the size of my torso. Please see my Yelp profile picture for reference. read more

I've not tried the buffet yet, but I love coming here for the produce section and the pastries. The produce section is awesome! FRESH and colorful. Yes, this is a Mexican grocery store and most items and signs are in Spanish. However, you won't feel uncomfortable if you don't speak Spanish. You will figure it all out pretty fast. Chocolate is chocolate and cheese is cheese! LOL! Everyone is really friendly and helpful. The pastry section has all sorts of goodies you probably won't find at any other grocery store bakery and you can mix and match. I also love coming here for different types of hot sauces, spices and peppers. You certainly will find something you like here and you will probably end up trying something different. It's probably the cleanest grocery store I've been in...including Publix. The next time I'm in there I'll take a few pics. read more

Went in there for some groceries. They had some good deals. People were very friendly and greeted me. Cashiers were very fast and didn't have to wait long time in line. Will definitely go back and be doing more shopping there. read more

This is a super fascinating experience. They got basically any food you would ever want to prepare based on Latin style. They got some different restaurant options inside to eat at. It is a fully immersive experience that I love, and will certainly come back to visit to try out more of the restaurant food some day. Get some platanitos. They're little, fried banana type chips that are salty and oh so good. read more

We stopped in to try the new, larger Mi Pueblo in Homewood having visited the Pelham one months ago. We love having access to so many unique fruits, products from various countries and in house taco stand. I found panela (Colombia), yerba mate (Argentina), and ended up bringing home frozen yuca ($1.50) and frozen tostones/fried plantains ($2.00). We got some tacos and tamales to go. Recommend the asada and al pastor. Chicken didn't have tons of flavor in the tacos but was delicious in the tamales. Bring your Spanish dictionary or brush up on what you want to order before stepping to the counter. Some staff doesn't speak English but are all very welcoming! Definitely for us being some of the only "gringos" in the store. read more

I'm honestly a bit surprised by all the stellar reviews for the eatery in this supermarket. Don't get me wrong, the store itself is amazing; it is by far the best Latin market that I've been to in the south. They have a fantastic selection of products, including a wall of deliciously fresh pan dulce. When it comes to food, however, I wasn't really impressed. I ordered the tamales and they were only lukewarm and the centers were cold. My boyfriend got food from the buffet and though it wasn't quite hot he did enjoy it and said that it was flavorful. We did come a bit late so I might try again during lunch to see if the food is a bit fresher. Also note that if you speak no Spanish it may be hard to order as most everyone who we encountered here spoke minimal English. read more

Tacos tacos tacos!!! I love getting tacos here! So nice that they have all the condiments on the side so you can load your tacos up with whatever you want. I definitely will say you have to have the onion/jalapeño/tomato salsa mix on them to make them perfectly moist and so flavorful. They make their tortillas in house and are very tender and fresh. A fun experience to walk into the store you definitely do not feel like you are in the middle of Birmingham. I use to drive 30 minutes to the original location in Pelham and am so happy they opened one closer to southside! read more

Really great for their tacos&quesadillas! Theres a stand where you can put your own toppings (as you can see, i really love cilantro)Very good considering their cheap prices. $1.75 for a taco, $6 for a quesadilla read more

I live in Dallas, TX and my debit card information was used at this location on Aug. 6th, 2017 for $156. I physically had my debit card with me so the information had to have been input manually. Please Mi Pueblo, watch your employees closely or train them properly. read more

Prior to this store there was a Food World in this location. The people were friendly, but the lot was always empty. Since Mi Pueblo took over, they completely changed the way a grocery store is run, and the parking lot is always full now. Now before I you go in, this is a Mexican Supermarket, NOT a Publix. The store caters to the Latin community and actually does a great job at it. What surprised me about this location is that they also have a mini restaurant inside this store. It's hidden in the back of the store, and the store is your typically Mexican Home Cooking. Enjoy! read more

This place is pretty damn cool. I wish Whorelando had one. We picked up take out the food was really good. Tongue / steak tacos were really good. Even fresh pupusas, hadn't had a decent one in years. I want to go back for what ever they serve up for breakfast. Good home cooking there! read more
