Mi Pueblo Mexican Grill

This place has legit Mexican food. Even though I live in west Sacramento I had never been to this place. I will be coming more often. Food was great, service was awesome. Worth the drive from west sac

Horrible! The food is over priced and not worth it! Went for lunch with friends. Had the chicken quesadilla. The tortilla was dry and was filled with some cheese and very little chicken. The chicken there was was stringy dry and flavorless. Went beck for dinner-​under duress and it was as bad as I remembered. Maybe worse if that’s possible. Don’t waste your time or money. Ghetto place with bad food.

There sauce to top burritos is red and watery. It’s not a sauce it’s liquid, no cheese was in my super burrito. Very disappointed.

It’s a total hole in the wall, but those are usually the best places right? The food was great! Big portions and fairly priced. The customer service was also great. Our waitress was super nice and continually checked on us.

My husband and I ate here yesterday, the food was so amazing full of flavor and super fresh, he had the dos tacos and I had the Steak a la Mexicana. Also I am a salsa freak and it was perfect here! Can’t wait to go back I hear the nachos and chili rellenos are bomb!

Food is good, but they won’t take phone orders, saying I have to go in to order and «wait my turn» but they take forever to prep food. Don’t feel like going in and waiting a half hour again for some nachos and chile relleno. Start taking phone orders and I’ll come back, otherwise not worth the wait.
Edit for more info: I had the super nachos with shredded beef and the chile relleno dinner. The nachos were good. I like how they’re not the same as every other places nachos with the sliced avocado and (I think) cotija on top. Some pico de gallo would have been a nice addition. The chips themselves were tasty too and not overcooked, soaked in oil, or stale. The chile relleno itself was pretty good. The pablanos had good flavor and there was plenty of cheese stuffed in them. The rice and beans were super bland though and really brought the entire dish down. Definitely won’t be getting another dinner plate due to that.
We live about 2 minutes away and I really wanted to like this place. As I said the food is decent, but when I can drive across south sac to another restaurant, order in person, and drive home in less time than it takes these guys just to cook, I can’t recommend coming here. Maybe if you have a half hour to wait on your one order (plus the time to drive to go get it) then go for it. Otherwise there’s a number of Mexican restaurants in the area that are about as good for the same or less money and definitely less of your time!

The food here is absolutely delicious! I found this place by using Unilocal to locate nearby Mexican Food Restaurants and this has hands down become my new favorite spot. All the food is made fresh to order and the flavor has no equal in the area. The owners are super friendly and have always greeted us with open arms. I feel like family when I am here.
Highly recommended!
P. S. Best. Super. Nachos. Ever.

Best. Best. Best. This man works alone. He’s kind and his food is traditional and amazing. I haven’t had one bad meal here and I’ve been here several times. The absolute best Mexican food I’ve had in a long time.

First time coming here, sat down in a booth, my son won’t eat Mexican food so I brought him in Burger King, immediately the owner came over rudely and asks what’s that, I said food for my son, he said NO I CANT HAVE THAT IN HERE, only babies can have food, he was so rude, and I was so offended I didn’t say anything and walked out, I had really been looking forward to trying this place, too bad I will never go there again!!! Ever

Soooo… This place is next to a bait and tackle/​beer place and nothing else. I walked up to the he door in the middle of nowhere and it was locked and he opened it for me where I was the only person in the restaurant. I ordered the steak a la mexicana and it was pretty delicious. I honestly thought it was going to suck based on what this place looks like. If you’re not big on spicy food this isn’t the place to experiment with what you can handle. Homeboy cooked up a pretty spicy dish. I’ll definitely come here again when I need bait tackle beer and Mexican food within 5 feet.

Food was OK. There is only one person working so service was very slow. Went here because of the high ratings but personally wouldn’t recommend it.

This place was good but not my favorite. The super nachos were yummy. My enchilada was subpar. And the wait for our check was stressful.

By far, this is the BEST Mexican food I’ve ever had! Eddie is an amazing cook and super friendly! Everything had a lot of flavor and the flan was the best I’ve ever had! We had chicken enchiladas and chicken fajitas, both were bomb! The rice was great! I’m not really into beans but the beans we had were heavenly! This place is one of those places u would just drive past without a second glance but we are glad we decided to try it! Definitely was a hole in the wall, but now it’s a more like a hidden treasure!

Wow! The food! That had to be the best chili rellano I’ve ever had! As for as location, it’s a hole in the wall. But it’s clean and comfy, and did I mention the food? If you love authentic Mexican food you’ll be glad you stopped by.

I’m no expert, but I would have to say this place is the real deal. The food is excellent and huge portions. My daughter and her friend are light eaters, so they had the lunch Quesadilla for dinner. They couldn’t finish. I had the Chili Relleno Dinner. Everything was fresh and delicious. The owner is great guy. I now have a new favorite place.

If you ever want nachos, this is the ONLY place you should go. All the food is great here, but my god the super nachos alone are 10 stars. For $ 13 you get your money worth & they are big enough to share… But why would you wanna do that? Give them a try, it’s worth it.

WONDERFUL BREAKFAST! So glad we came here for breakfast, we generally come here for lunch and dinner but we’ll be breakfast regulars now. Service is always great. Prices are good for the amount and quality of food. Great atmosphere.

At first glance, you wonder why you walked in. It’s very much the definition of hole in the wall.
But I’m glad we did. The chips and salsa were brought right away and both were quite good. We also asked for a small order of guacamole. Our server said it would take a few minutes because they make it to order. I appreciated that information, and the guac was worth the short wait. My wife and I were starving and quickly went through two baskets of chips, two bowls of salsa, and the guacamole. I saw another review that said this place charged for chips and salsa. We were not charged. I wonder if that person only ordered one a la carte taco or something like that.
For dinner, my wife ordered carnitas with a chicken enchilada. I had half the enchilada and it was excellent. The chicken inside was tender breast meat, which was a pleasant surprise. The enchilada sauce was very tasty. The carnitas were tasty too, although too much of the crispy stuff and not enough tender pork. The crispy carnitas have the most flavor but can be a little dry, so a little of both is what my wife prefers. I had the chile verde. It was different than chile verde I normally get. The sauce was a little runnier than normal, and it had big chunks of peppers. The pork was very tender. Overall, it was delicious and I would order again.
We both had soft drinks, which they pour from cans. Unlike most restaurants that serve cans, this place charged us one price, and refills were free, so while they used cans, they did not charge by the can. Kudos to them for that!
We will come back to this place. My personal favorites here were the guacamole and the enchiladas. I definitely want more!

Delicious food and a cute little place! Been here twice and it has been awesome both times.
I’ve had the carnitas both times, and the meat is so moist and flavorful. All dishes seem pretty authentic and I’m willing to bet that everything on this menu is fantastic.
Service is excellent. There are two older folks (probably the owners of the place) who are basically like grandparent figures. One story: my mom can’t handle spicy foods, so she asked if the complimentary salsa was spicy. The cook, an older gentleman, offered to make some plain pico de gallo just for her.
One of my favorite things about smaller joints is personal service like this!

On Saturday, 4÷12÷14, my girlfriend and I were headed to Sacramento to visit her Mom and family. We always see a sign that says Mi Pueblo Mexican Grill when we exit the freeway. We were starving and craving any type of food but we decided to go with Mexican for lunch.
Atmosphere/​Décor:
As we were driving down Freeport Blvd, my girlfriend noticed the Restaurant Mi Pueblo was next to a bait & tackle shop. We almost missed the restaurant because it literally is a whole in the wall. There are only about 3 to 4 parking spots for Mi Pueblo. We had to park on the grass located to the right of the restaurant.
As you walk up to the restaurant, there are two doors. One is located on the right side and the other on the left side. It’s confusing as to which door is the main entrance. We decided to go with door #2, which was the main entrance, I guess. We stood at the front entrance and saw 4 people eating at two different tables. I looked to my left towards the back of the restaurant and saw that there was an extended area for customers to sit. There were two more people eating at one table towards the back area. It seemed like a tacky Mexican diner. As I looked around the restaurant I saw an array of live plants, fake flowers, family photos, miss matching decorations, not to mention the stream of Christmas lights that were hanging from the ceiling. The door to the kitchen was propped open, which allowed customers to see the clutter. After a few minutes, an older lady came out and asked us «For here or to go?» We told her for here. She was very polite and told us it would be a few minutes because she needed to clean off the table. She actually used spic’n span to clean the table and seats which my girlfriend and I did appreciate.
Food:
First of all, there were only two people working. The older woman and an older man who was the cook. You could see his head and shoulder and I’m not talking about the shampoo, through the service window. As I was sitting down, I finally got the bright idea to look this place up on Unilocal.I should of done this before we came to this restaurant. There were good reviews about the food but something that stood out to me was a review about the rice. A female Unilocaler mentioned that there was a weird funny taste to the rice. Another person mentioned that the beans were very good and the carnitas was the best they ever had. The girl was right about the rice and the guy was dead wrong about the beans and I definitely had better carnitas. Now on to what we ordered.
I noticed they had a special going on. There was a chalk board to the right of the front entrance once you walked in. The special was carnitas, enchilada, avocado, sour cream, pico de gallo, tortillas, rice and beans. So I decided to go with the special. I chose shredded beef for my enchilada. My girlfriend decided to go with the chile verde super burrito.
The food looked really good when it came out. My girlfriends burrito was really big. There was green chile verde sauce, sour cream, and fresh avocado on top. There was also chunks of chile verde on top as well. I tried a bite of my girlfriends chile verde meat and was very pleased with the taste. The meat was really tender and it tasted fresh. As my girlfriend started to eat her burrito, she looked at me and said, «There’s something that taste weird in the burrito.» At first, she thought it was the green sauce. I tasted the green sauce and told her it tasted fine. She kept eating her burrito and then said, «I know what it is. It’s the rice. It tastes very very garlicky. Not like fresh garlic but like a ton of garlic powder.» There was way too much orange and white cheese in the burrito. The rice didn’t taste good and the texture was very mushy. It was almost inedible. The best thing about the burrito was the chile verde meat, sour cream and fresh avocado.
The carnitas were cooked well. It had a nice flavor and good crisp texture to it. Overall the meat was good. The shredded beef enchilada was good as well. The red sauce that covered the enchilada had a mild good flavor to it. None of the foods were spicy which I liked but my girlfriend wished her chile verde was spicy. I started making a carnitas taco with one of my corn tortillas. I decided to take a bite out of the rice and beans. As I was eating the rice, I said to myself, «What the hell is wrong with this?» It tasted like garlic fried rice, but not good garlic fried rice from Benihanas. Any bite you took of the rice even a grain, ruined the flavor of the entire bite. The beans didn’t taste good. They weren’t up to par. I didn’t like the orange/​white cheese combination on the plate as well.
Service:
The service was acceptable. I have no complaints about the service.
Overall:
If you’re a bean and rice fanatic, this is not the place for you. If you like to enjoy Mexican food that isn’t spicy, then try it out. (But who goes to a Mexican Restaurant that doesn’t want good beans and ric
