We visit Mi Pueblo nearly every time we're in Chamberlain. The service has always been attentive no matter the size of our party (ranging from 1 to 8 people plus take out on occasion). Mi Pueblo has a fun vibe with vibrant decor. There are also some cultural pieces on display and even a photo op in the corner so you can commemorate your experience there. Don't know what to order? Let me help! Start with a margarita - my entire family loves them! For the non-drinkers, Mi Pueblo has a variety of Jarritos and I recommend the Tamarind. I have tried MANY menu items and they were all good but my personal favorites are the Quesadilla Tropical and the Fajitas Mi Pueblo. Follow @goaroundwithcrystal for more foodie adventures read more

We stopped here because we were staying overnight in Chamberlain on our way to the Black Hills and the kids wanted tacos. Pretty standard fajitas, and 3 tacos for 6.99. My only complaint was the margarita, it was heavy on the mix and came with an orange. Very strange margarita on the rocks. read more

I had the best plate of my recent trip experience here, chicken and chorizo with a cream sauce - if I recall called Pollo Cachondo. Family said their meals were good, too. Service was quick and friendly. I'd come back for the Cachondo any day. read more

June 26, 2025 There were 10 of us here for dinner. They put us in a back room at a large table. There were many choices for food, typical of most Mexican restaurants. I ordered a margarita but it was more mix than anything else. It was big but delute. The chips and salsa were really good. The food mediocre. BUT prices were very good. We had 10 people and we only paid $110.00 plus tip. Everyone ate a regular size meal. And we all left happy. read more

Literally trash! If you call this a Mexican restaurant, you'd be mistaken. The chips seemed stale and when we ordered, we had to get his attention from being on his cell phone at the bar. We got one of our dishes out 5 mins before the rest and at that point we had to get his attention to go get the rest of the food too. No other drinks were offered. You'd think a business would want to make money! Not this joint! We tip big with good service but this place $0. Step it up! Props to the kitchen staff though, the food was the only positive thing. P.S there was a chicken bone in my chimichanga! read more

Ground beef comes out soaked in water and not seasoned. Your plate will look sloppy. You could tip it up and water will run down your plate. Tried this place 3x. Thought it would get better but it's still ranked the worst Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. Is recommend taco John's next door before this place....seriously. read more

We enjoyed a nice meal here. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the taquitos, but when we received the order it was over cooked. Our waiter promptly returned them without question and brought a complete new plate of food. The Carnitas burrito was excellent with meat, meat and nothing but meat on the inside. I will definitely stop in next time we are passing through. read more

Food: I've had molcajete one other time, but this one was better than the one I had in Ensenada. Good Mexican food in South Dakota...? Who would've thunk! I was told an authentic molcajete had seafood, but I would rather have the beef and pineapple from this place. Salsa was good, tortillas seemed fresh, everything was very good. It's not like there are a lot of options for Mexican food in the Chamberlain area, so I am glad this place was good! Atmosphere: It's pretty open inside. The decorations are not too over the top. One thing I am taking note of recently is the volume of a place. It was not loud inside and the acoustics seemed good (we could barely hear the table next to us). I think the worst thing that can happen in a Mexican joint is blasting mariachi music... not that I don't mind the ambiance, but make sure the music isn't TOO loud that you cannot hear the person at the table with you. So... this place was spot on! Price: Decently priced, a little on the cheaper side but I'm used to California prices. I was happy to see such a large portion be reasonable in price. Still, you'd expect to spend about 15$ a person or so. Service: Great, no complaints. Our server and the guy at the check stand were both nice and didn't rush us or anything. One of my biggest things is, don't come up to me 1 minute after giving me my food to ask "how is it?" Bro... I haven't even unwrapped my silverware yet! So yeah, they were not in our faces the whole time, that's a plus! Overall: My parents said this place was pretty good but I am sold. This place was the bomb. Gave me a taste of home. I'll definitely try more dishes the next time I come and, in the summer, you can get fireworks right next door! read more

Oh my goodness this was so good!! Great salsa and queso! And the margarita was perfect! I had a fajita quesadilla, it was delicious! I can't recall the name of my husband's but it was awesome as well! The service was exceptional, I could tell it was run by a sweet family. Typical authentic decor, comfortable seating, clean bathrooms I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

The service was good and the food was alright. The atmosphere is fun and sporty. I ordered food without green peppers for an allergy and they forgot so instead of recooking it he just took them off and brought it back. I found several while eating. read more

Ask for a detailed receipt before paying. The food was great, and the margaritas were large. The only negative, which caused me to knock off a star, is that they did not give us our detailed receipt when they brought us the bill. We ended up paying a nice tip on top of the tip they had already added. We only realized this because before we left, we asked for the detailed receipt so we could split the bill between our party. It's such a shame as I don't think the owner knows this is taking place. read more

Had an excellent Chimichanga meal here. Food was tasty, hot on arrival and everything I expected in a true Mexican meal. Have also had their fajitas and they are excellent as well. read more

Service was extremely fast. Food was fantastic. Good quality and quantity. Highly recommend!

6/11/23 We got off interstate 90 and I was looking for a good place to eat this was rated 4 stars but today I give them a 5 stars, quick, great service and the food was very good. Husband did one of their specialty dinners and I did a fajita. The margarita was very good on the rocks. Would highly recommend. Elizabeth F. read more

Authentic Mexican food in the middle of South Dakota - why yes! It helps if you can speak a little Spanish. Complementary chips and salsa is always a plus. The shrimp and meat chimichanga was excellent so was my sons shrimp fundidos. My wife's and daughter dish the chicken salad and fajita Jalisco was just OK, the portions of the chicken/meat was generous. read more

I stopped here driving across South Dakota on I-90. What a treat! The first thing you'll notice is that the service is quick, which is kinda important because you're driving somewhere. The second thing you'll notice is how nice and clean the restaurant is. It looks like it was just built, and there are all kinds of pictures of Poncho Villa on the walls. I mean, the place is nice. And then you'll notice the menus, all leather bound and sophisticated. I gotta be honest, I wasn't expecting anything fancy out of this joint in the middle of rural SD. But you ain't seen nothing yet. The food is awesome. So fresh and tasty. Everything from the California Burrito I had to the kids meals my son and daughter had ~ all were top notch. The only complaint I have is that you have to somehow know that they're not going to bring you the check. You've got to approach the register in order to pay and get out. But I'm letting that one go. In the end, I had the best California Burrito in the middle of nowhere, super rural, zero cell phone service South Dakota at a Mexican owned and operated restaurant filled with Lakota Sioux customers realizing at that point how unique and wonderful America is. Two thumbs up. Way up. read more

This was my first time here, what an amazing place, easy to find! Food was phenomenal, service was 5 stars, we ordered and food was out 5 minutes later, no complaints what's so ever read more

Stopped here for early dinner on our road trip. Pretty empty (around 4:30pm), cute ambiance and nice decorations. HOWEVER, my aunt ordered her food and explicitly said no dairy on her plate, as she is INTOLERANT. They brought her food out and as she's eating her rice, she just lifts her spoon and there's a string of cheese. Very unfortunate, they need to be more observant. read more

Walked in a little nervous, I mean Mexican food in no-where South Dakota...Plus some reviews we're not the best. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of the food. We have had the opportunity to eat at some of the best Mexican and Tex-Mex places in Texas so we come with high expectations. Chips and salsa are not their strongest opener but what we were served is about what you would get at a small family owned Mexican restaurant in many parts of Texas. Food came a little slow but we were there at 7:30 pm at night and they were packed with a constant flow of customers. We needed a little taste of home after 7 days of traveling and this little oasis filled the need. By the at I had the Molcajata Tropical Fajitas and would love to find a place at home that serves something similar. Simply amazing. read more

The service was poor at best. 3 servers in are area and we had to flag down just to take our order. It turned out they left out a side that was ordered. Had to flag them down again to get another beer. Had to flag them down again just to get our bill. We weren't in a hurry and found it comical after seeing three groups come in, get served and pay their bills before we could place an order. The food was ok, probably the worst Mexican food I've ever had. read more

We liked the food and the staff was great. It was a convenient place to get to and we were served promptly

Queso and chips were good. Queso was very runny. Food was decent for a quick meal driving down the road. read more

We stop often for munch at Mi Pueblo In Chamberlain SD. I want to express very strong gratitude for the excellent service, outmost tasty food and generous portions. Five stars - to the team of Mi Pueblo. Jim and Irina S. read more

Not many choices in Chamberlain for food, so we thought Mexican is an easy choice for the family. It was OK at best. Service was ok, a little slow but ok. I had the enchilada and tamale combo. Just ok. Tamale was more masa than anything else. Everything was just ok. read more

We were traveling through and thought we'd give it a try. Big place, nicely decorated and very busy. Hubby had the special, a small steak with rice and beans, he thought everything was good which is why I'm giving 3 stars. I had a combo platter with a taco and 2 ground beef enchiladas. None of it was bad, just blah. Taco Bell would have been better, in fact, there was a Taco John's nearby and I wish we'd gone there. If we lived there, I'd probably go back and try something different. read more

A fantastic family owned restaurant! The service was friendly and great but the food was fantastic! I had the Molcaljete Pancho Villa fajitas and it was truly the best fajitas I've had for some time. We also had Chimichanga Special which were also great. Would recommend! read more

Felt like the place could've been cleaner. Food was okay. Beef didn't really have any flavor. Salsa is very liquidy. Service was good tho.

1. The food was really poor quality. I only managed to eat some of it... 2. They should really wear masks!!! read more

Love this place! It's the only restaurant that never shut down. They have limited staff and sometimes the orders are a little mixed cause they're so busy, but the food has ALWAYS been so good. They are very friendly and accommodating. I'm glad to live in an area where at least one restaurant isn't run by sheep. read more

Combo 9.99 taco Delano and enchilada. Good mild sauce fast service. Good value yes yes

Food is awesome and quick. The queso is supper runny but everything else is fantastic. I'd recommend the big margarita.

A California native and Mexican-American, I think I know good Mexican food. We just got back from Mi Pueblo. We got the carne asada burrito and the pork tamales. We're headed back for seconds. Their guacamole is legendary. I'm sure Taco John's is good, but I think Mi Pueblo has ruined me for Mexican food. read more

TERRIBLE customer service. Food is average at best. I stopped here during the Covid-19 pandemic and not a single employee was wearing a mask. I walked up to the bar and all 4 employees where sitting at a table in the corner, I guess they were all on break. I say there like an idiot for 5 minutes until finally one of them asked me if I need anything. I said yea... I need a menu... he then went to go check on the other customers, the he into the back and didn't come out for another 3 minutes. It was beyond ridiculous. They also go my order wrong... read more

La comida es muy deliciosa. "The food is really good. I was very skeptical eating at a Mexican Restaurant in SD. But this food was really good and authentic. I ordered camerones de ajo "Shrimp in garlic". It was great. By the way! The margaritas are good and large. Also, this restaurant is very clean. You can smell the Clorox they use to clean. A very Diamond in the rough! read more

Outstanding food and service! They have a huge indoor dining room with plenty of room. I've eaten a fair share of Mexican food over the years and this was some of the best. It's truly authentic Mexican and the food came out very quickly. read more

We arrived at about 7:30 pm on a Monday night and it was a very busy place. We waited quite a while for someone to acknowledge we were there, and after we were seated it took quite a bit longer to be served. The chips we got didn't taste fresh (chewy) and asked for fresh chips. We were told the ones we got were made today and they WERE fresh. We finally got our order and one of them was wrong. One order had jalapeños on it that wasn't mentioned on the menu. One of us asked for a water that we never got. None of the food was hot except the order that was wrong and brought out remade. I'm pretty sure we won't eat there again. read more
