Food is very tasty and authentic. Have been here twice and always go home with leftovers. Wet shredded pork burrito is excellent, salsa is fresh and prices are very reasonable will be back! read more

Went to their monthly Taco bar day 1st Sat of the month. Got there at 3:30p to beat the lunch & dinner rush, instead it was packed (good for them, but go 4-5p instead). Food was very good, buffet was very clean and well stocked even with the long line, service was good and polite. 1 star ding was for their terrible diced steak; it tasted fine, but was full of big chunks of gristle, I should have taken a picture of all that I separated out; sincerely the worst quality I've ever had - but they can fix that quickly with better quality meat. Other meat selections were very good. I provided my mostly positive 1st time experience feedback at the counter and mentioned the poor steak to maybe the owner/wife? - I'm not sure she understood (i.e., possible language barrier?). IMO the $16.95 is a bit high, but food was tasty. Will go again, maybe Taco Tuesdays. read more

It was pretty much your basic Mexican restaurant. It's in a small strip mall, nothing special but seemed clean, well taken care of. Bathroom could have been cleaner. We were promptly seated, drinks ordered and orders taken quickly. Wait staff was ok. I had 3 beef enchiladas rice and beans. Enchiladas were flavorful, as well as the beans. Rice was a little bland. No free chips and salsa, they were extra and not very good. Runny salsa and chips looked like bottom of the bag. So, I would eat here again, but it wouldn't be my first choice in a Mexican restaurant. We ordered off lunch menu, and the price was right $8.50. Definitely a bargain. read more

I have heard good things about this place so I stopped in. The Bistec o Pollo was delicious although I had it with steak as was the salsa and chips. read more

I want to preface this by saying I love the food and the staff, this is my go too Mexican restaurant and I have supported them for many years. It pains me to leave this review. However, my last 3 orders have had hair in them. One was a small beard hair that was just laying in the bottom of the burrito container, but the others were long black hair interwoven throughout my food. (sopes) Unfortunately, I just can't continue to order from here, which is really unfortunate. I understand that this can happen once in a while, but in three separate orders over a two week period? It tells me that the attention to detail and quality has slipped. read more

Mi Pueblo - Steak taco dinner - Mexican Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

We love Mi Pueblo! Great place for Taco Tuesdays and all other days. For $1.29 per taco it is hard to beat. We ordered too many tacos and two huge sides of beans and rice. Their beans and rice are absolutely delicious and would definitely make an amazing meal all on its own! We've gone to their taco bar weekend special in the past and truly enjoyed it. All the employees were very helpful and make sure you enjoyed your meal. Husband was curious about their carne asada so also ordered a quesadilla with carne asada as the meat choice. What do they do to make something so simple so, so delicious? We couldn't finish everything but we were truly satisfied with everything we ordered. This is a lovely family-owned business that deserves your time. Get there and you won't be disappointed. read more

Mexican style tacos are the BOMB, in my opinion and oh how I was craving them. Decided to check out Mi Pueblo, which is ALWAYS a hoppin' joint, to grab some fine tacos. The meal itself was large. My partner also order food and we ended up thinking we could have gotten away with one order and sharing but, instead, we just had some left overs! Now, I know I made a big deal on the tacos but, beans and rice are a must have for me at any Mexican restaurant I visit. Mi Pueblo beans and rice...I'd go back simply for a large container of each! Fantastic flavor and exactly what you'd expect. The beans weren't dry, the rice wasn't undercooked. Just perfection! Trust me. I'll be back! read more

Mi Pueblo is my favorite mexican restaurant in Kalamazoo. They used to have a taco bar every weekend (I think it was only on the weekends but I could be wrong) but have since limited how often they do that. The taco bar was always great because you had the option to try every meat they offer and make it just how you like it. They always serve fresh tortilla chips and salsa and will even bring more while you're waiting for your food and even while you're eating your meal. They're very good! My favorite thing to order is of course tacos. We prefer to have them Mexican Style with just cilantro, onions and a lime. But the american style with cheese, sour cream, onions and lettuce do not disappoint either. Most of their entree's come with a side of rice and beans. I really love their rice. They also make their own pico, mild sauce and hot sauce. If you're hosting a party or event consider having them cater for you. We had them cater for my sisters celebration and it was outstanding! All of the food arrived fresh and hot just as if you were sitting in their restaurant being served. They brought plenty of homemade tortilla chips and homemade salsa that are both so delicious! To bring all of this together, it's a family owned business. They're so friendly. Some mexican restaurants in town taste like the food was microwaved and it served just as quick as you order it. Not here. You can tell the food is made fresh to order and it is served quick enough. It doesn't take so long you lose your patience and not served so quick you wonder how it could be prepared that quick. We are huge fans of Mi Pueblo and I hope you are too! read more

Mi Pueblo has a special place in my heart. I use to each Taco Tuesday a lot when I first moved to Kalamazoo. I really enjoy their food! They are always busy and the reason why is because they are good! Definitely recommend getting the tacos Mexican style. The toppings are fresh and the meat is cooked great. It's not dry like most places. I don't normally like beans from Mexican restaurants but I love Mi Pueblo's. Which is saying a lot. Highly recommend! read more

I have been looking for a new place to have good Mexican food. I have found it! First visit was lunch, I had a natural burrito, it was delicious. The chicken was tender and had a lovely smoky flavor. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. Second visit was dinner the same day brought the wife. She said YUMM! We are looking forward to finding our new favorite Mexican dish on the menu here. The servers were friendly and came by often but but not to much. read more

I was visiting Wax Wings a few doors down and hopped over to Mi Pueblo to grab some food. Not only were my enchiladas great, the staff was super friendly and delivered my dinner to me back at Wax Wings while I was enjoying my beer with friends.

What's better than a great taco bar? NOTHING! Well very little anyway, as I found out during my first visit to Mi Pueblo. My boss had recommended them previously as he is a frequent visitor and a confirmed fan. I admit I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to "authentic" Mexican food, but I know what I like. Upon entering, I was immediately impressed with the traditional, homey feeling interior. Reminded me of other small ethnic restaurants i'd visited in larger cities, in a good way. We were greeted and promptly seated. Of course we all opted for the all-you-can-eat taco buffet! Did I mention it was good? Listen, it was SO good that I completely forgot to take any pics of my taco creations, until I was at the counter to pay! SO I snapped a couple quick pics for the review LOL Back to the food.. the bar isn't huge but there were consistently at least 6 different types of meat dishes. I wish I was better at remembering the actual names of the dishes but you'll just have to take my word it. There were a couple chicken dishes, a couple pork dishes, something with chorizo & potatoes, ground beef, and a dish that consisted solely of pork fat and a delicious spicy sauce! I was told by another customer that dish was a traditional breakfast staple in their culture. It was SO good that I didn't even have the texture issues that I usually do with slimy foods. Mi Pueblo is a great lil spot for authentic Mexican food. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The interior is larger than it looks outside. Easy parking. Very economical! Highly recommended! read more

They should be ashamed. This is not Mexican food. I am Mexican and wanted something to eat. I walk in to waiting to be seated while staff was talking. They sat me down and gave me the smallest bowl of hard chips and watered down tomato's (not salsa). It was a small bowl of diced tomatoes, onions with cilantro and water. No jalapeños, no salt or pepper or garlic. Absolutely no taste. I looked at the entire menu and was surprised at the mess of a menu. But I asked to taste a few sauces and those were not good or flavorful at all. The few things I tried to order I was told they didn't have certain ingredients so I ended up ordering some queso but that was even bad. I was given a large bowl with watery cheese. I ate a few bites and paid for my chips, queso and coke. This was truly the worse Mexican food I have ever tasted. I try not to leave bad reviews unless it calls for it. This called for a bad review. As a Mexican who cooks almost everyday I think the owners and cooks need to step back and rethink the menu and start cooking with spices, give the food some flavor and some jalapeños. Very disappointed. I don't recommend this place. read more

I've been a customer for more than ten years. Typically the service is mediocre but the food has been good. My last visit on Cinco De Mayo a couple weeks ago was pretty awful. The Burrito was not good. I didn't receive the two sides (rice/beans) that were supposed to come with it but since the 'servers' were nowhere to be found I settled on the naked Burrito. It had an 'odd' flavor. Not rotten or spoiled food but different and not good. And like most places their prices have gone up - alot. No drink refills. Had to practically tackle the Senorita to get a box for leftovers for the three of us. I won't write them off for one bad visit but I do expect to get what I pay for and on this visit I didn't. Just down the road is Los Amigos. They need to remember that. read more

I gave this a place a try two times within a day. I ordered their beef chimichangas and the tamarin drink the first time. The second time, I had the shrimp chimichangas. The shrimp one is superior. Amazing flavors and hit the right spot. You get a load of chips to go with it. I'll be back again. read more

Tacos are Fire. Customer Service is outstanding. I recommend the carnitas tacos. Even when we order 20 tacos it only takes 15 mins.

We love coming here! The staff is so nice and helpful. Our biggest challenge is not eating too much of the complimentary chips and salsa while we take our time drooling over the menu to decide what to eat! The portions are awesome for the prices, and since we have giant eyes and order too much, we get another meal out of it. This visit, my daughter and I shared the fiesta plate - which would have been plenty for the two of us - but she also had to have her favorite beans and rice (and I just had to have two chorizo tacos supreme!). My husband got Chile rellanos, which of course are better than what I can manage at home, and my son got the volcano burrito. Man, that was huge and Hot! Yum, yum!! read more

This was my second time there. I enjoyed ordering off the menu the first time but have wanted to go back on a weekend as they have a 8.99 taco bar. Today I tried it and was surprised at the quality of it. They bring you chips and salsa and then asked if I wanted rice and beans which they brought to the table. You then have many choices of fillings to choose from as well as many other toppings. Nothing better than getting to be in total control of whats on your tacos. Be warned, the salsas are not tagged so it's hard to tell which ones are hot or not. I found the hottest and it's really hot which is sometimes hard to find at a lot Mexican restaurants. I may have gotten a little carried away with how many I ate. It's all you can eat and they even come back and ask if you want more rice or beans. It's really worth a trip to check it out some weekend. read more

Everyone raves about this place as the best Mexican food, but I was underwhelmed during my first visit. I ordered enchiladas- the dinner with rice and beans. The food came out so fast but it wasnt even hot. The enchiladas themselves were small, and I also thought the portion was small. I gobbled down every bite and was not full when I finished. Everything tasted good though, and no complaints about the service. I went on a weeknight at 6pm and there were only 3 tables occupied. read more

Food here is pretty phenomenal as I'm very picky with Mexican cuisine, everything was excellent but this place is very busy, advise sitting as far away from the phone that rings non-stop! read more

Great place for authentic Mexican food!! The kids love Taco Tuesday where you can enjoy great Carnitas, chorizo, steak, chicken and Al Pastor tacos that will keep you coming back for more!! The deep fried chimichanga is a favorite and I prefer Carnitas but delicious with anything. Carmen, the owner is the sweetest, nicest host to a great local, family restaurant. I didn't think Id find a favorite Mexican restaurant after moving here from Cali, but here it is right in my own neighborhood. Oh yeah and dont forget their ice cream. All I can say is Wow!!! De-lish!! read more

Didn't like it at all. Waitress was busy flirting with cook. Food was bleh. Not a place I'd ever go back to ever again.

The lunch menu is great. I recommend both steak dishes and the pork tacos. The service is fast and it's easy to have a conversation.

I couldn't keep this a secret any longer, because I am all about loyalty when it comes to restaurants. You find one you like of a specific cuisine, and you go until the owners know about your daily routine and interrogate you sweetly the moment that they notice that you're not around. I think, however, I might have to push that notion to the side and be open-minded, because with many options for Mexican food in this area, each one brings a little something different to the table, and the variety should be celebrated, and I recently got to experience what makes "Mi Pueblo" really special. I needed something filling, something that felt like it was home-cooked, but in a short period of time. I was hungry, starving EVEN, and since most of the day was behind me, I wanted a treat. It was about 10 minutes before the lunch special ends, so 2:50 PM, and I was greeted by a sweet smile of the waitress who works the register. I had never been there, and went on the suggestion of my work dad, Bob, after I ranted about my loyalty to another place nearby. He told me just to try it, and since he's always so good with the recommendations, of course, I followed suit. I took the suggestion of the kind woman in the front, whose name I promise to get the next time I go. She said she really liked the Bistec con Rajas, or Steak with Strips of Green Peppers, cooked with tomatoes and onions covered with cheese, over Mexican-style rice and beans. It's not my norm. Typically, I go with tacos when I begin my love affair with a new Mexican restaurant, but I went all in and at 8.99 and starving, I took a chance. It was promised 15 minutes, and I got my food in 10. When I finally got back to work and closed my door to enjoy my meal, I understood (very well might I add) the high reviews. It was perfect. Each item tasted as if they were always meant to be together like someone had tinkered with these food items for years and one day came up with a magical concoction that would be loved by all. The meat was seasoned perfectly, the cheese was just enough to not completely overpower the entire meal, the tomatoes and onions tasted ESSENTIAL, and the rice and beans carried it all home. Because not only is rice and beans essential part of typical Mexican-fare, but throughout the Caribbean, a cuisine I know well. A few weeks later I would go on Taco Tuesday, naively thinking I was just going to walk in and order my food and walk out. The lies. They are way too popular for anyone to believe that such a thing would happen. These things are delicious and .99 cents, okay, you need to order ahead. I'm talking to you 9-5 types, 4:30 rolls around and you want to pick-up before heading home, then give them the opportunity to make your bellies happy. I expected nothing of the sort, and when I was told it would be about a 25-minute wait, I did not protest, I asked to sit down instead, even though I was taking out. I was met by two kind young women, one who offered me a menu, which I declined and then the other provided me chips and salsa. I said, "I'm taking out, it's okay." She said that was fine and handed them over anyway. I then asked for a coffee, which in no time I received. I was promised 25 minutes, I got my food in 15 minutes, and the guy who was running the operation charged me not a dime more for the service. I went home with chorizo, and steak and chicken tacos, perfect portioned, seasoned, and cooked to share with my partner-in-lime (pun intended), who can be pretty picky sometimes. Now he wants to come with me to the restaurant, just to have the experience. I was blown away, honestly, that kind of service in a sizeable restaurant of such popularity is just not normal these days, but if you want loyal customers that's the kind of vibe you have to give off, and honestly - they've gained another. read more

I've heard lots of good things about Mi Pueblo and finally had the opportunity to try it myself. First, the positive, food was really good. We didn't have a huge variety, but it was all good. The enchiladas are the drier style and not served swimming in sauce, not super huge....beef, cheese and chicken were all tasty. I also had Skirt Steak and it was simply some of the best I have ever had...juicy, pretty tender and great flavor. The rice and beans on the side were just OK. After I was done eating I made the mistake of looking at the weekend only taco bar...everything looked great and well worth the $9 they charge. The steak was so good, but I would be torn between it and the tacos. Now the not so positive, everybody was polite, but the service was almost nonexistent. We got our drinks and our food and the bill and that was it. No refills or checking back...nothing else at all. Really not any sort of an acknowledgement that we were there in the restaurant. All of this while the table next to us had a couple of visits from the cooks with fresh tacos instead of the pre-made shells from the taco bar, drink refills and several check backs. I was disappointed to say the least. If the food was anything less than stellar it would be 2 stars rating. As it is I would rate a 3.5 if I could but I can't, so I'm rounding up to 4 because the food was that good. I'll try eating another time...hope this doesn't turn out to be a carry out only situation. read more

I'm writing this review at 4am in the morning. Me and my friends are about to have this place again tomorrow and i just couldn't stop thinking about their food. This place is the "chefs kiss" of Mexican cuisine in the Kalamazoo area. So from a first-hand perspective, the food is amazing. The Tacos are the best in the Kalamazoo area hands down, the tortilla are fresh and you can tell by how crispy the edges of it as you bite into it. The steak, chicken and even the vegetarian tacos are seasoned well, NOT DRY, and there is just that magical taste of flavoring in the meat. If i didn't know any better, i would say just a hint of msg maybe? The nachos aren't just some store bough nachos, they taste great, crispy, and well seasoned with salt, not to mention their fresh pico style sauce for the nachos. They have two kinds of excellent sauces for the tacos and other menu items, verde and the red sauce. Both are fresh and the verde sauce which is the hotter of the two is just right in spice level for people that don't have baby tongues. Otherwise i wouldn't use it if you easily offend with spicy food. Usually the 2 steak, 2 chicken, corn tortilla, "Mexican" style is the go to, but for people who desire more you can't go wrong with their burritos, if the tacos don't fill you up, the burritos will, and all the same consistency with the amazing flavoring of these meals. The atmosphere is great, resembling a villa style environment, along with sombreros and other theme related vanity. The service is great, and what i can only assume as Mexican people actually work here are always greeting you with a smile and welcoming attitude. Their price, is also another thing to note, the cost of the food here is relatively inexpensive, tacos used to be $1.30 each! but with inflation they have increased a little bit. This is a great place for a date, stoner food, and just for people that want to experience some culture on their tongue, i highly recommend this place. -Bubblebass out read more

I love the taco bar! Best Spanish rice in town! Usually pretty busy, duh they have a taco bar!
