The building is simple and clean without much atmosphere but the delicious food makes this place all the difference. I would eat here every day if I lived closer and would definitely be here more often if parking was better and the location wasn't so shady. Unfortunately, 3 stars because of the area (not the business fault) expect to be approached and asked for money or cigarettes by persons down on their luck.

Writing this as I sit waiting for my pickup order that I placed about an hour ago for a 12:30pm…read morepickup. The parking lot was very full around noon on a Wednesday but the restaurant only had a few tables full and no one in line. They did have dance tracks playing at about 3 ticks too loud for the occasion and setting. After waiting for a little over 5 minutes, my food was brought out to the tunes of Lady Gaga's poker face. Not horrible but I am pretty sure they did not start assembling my food until I arrived which is not great...here is to hoping the food is good... Later....So, I ordered the chicken enchiladas combo plate and a fish taco. The taco had an appropriate serving of fish with decent flavor and texture with the fresh toppings. I only got the sour cream in my first bite and it definitely could have used more but the taco is still tasty without. Tortillas are good. Upon first glance the enchiladas looked decent. As they say, looks can be deceiving! I always get chicken enchilads when ordering for the first time at a Mexican style restaurant as I think they are a good indicator. Refried beans need salt and fat badly. Rice is ok but also dry. Now, the star of the show the supposed "chicken" enchilads. Wow in the worst possible way. First, there is not a shred of chicken amongst the unmelted pre shredded "Mexican cheese blend". Not only that but I found a single piece of meat that is not chicken and most likely is pork. Luckily I do not have any dietary restrictions but if you do beware. I may try reheating these terrible excuse for enchiladas later so I can at least melt the cheese and pretend I ordered cheese enchiladas without chicken, which I would never. The enchiladas alone deserve a zero star review. Disappointing. Giving two stars for the fish tacos okness and lady gaga. Will not be back. Do not recommend.

The food was delivered fresh and fast. I ordered the tamale plate which was really good. The sauce was more of a chili verde vs. green chili, but it was very close and tasted about the same. The tamales had a good meat to masa ratio and I enjoyed the rice and beans as well. My husband had the Bronco Chimichanga which he also really enjoyed. There was A LOT of meat in the burrito. Only negative he said the beef tasted more like roast beef vs. being Mexican flavored. Overall it was a really good food for a good price! We'd love to dine in and try the street tacos. I'd say the only negative is the chips and salsa to go were $11 - that seemed a bit high to me.

I've lived in Pueblo for about 18 years and last month was the first time I had eaten at Mill Stop. I suppose I just never got around to it. It was absolutely the most delicious food I have ever eaten, it even tops my green chili and that's hard to do :) The taste of the food was superb! This is real Mexican Food! The service was fantastic and the employees were some of the most polite people i've yet to experience (coming out of Pueblo). This is now my favorite restaurant, I just wish they were open on the weekends! That's when we eat out the most. Love, Love, Love this place. read more
