Mi Pueblo VI

My wife went to college in the area and raved about their food. So when we finally went back to visit, Mi Pueblo is the first place we stopped.. It was just awful. Low quality food and not what my wife remembers.

 My wife believes the reason it was so good all those years ago is the alternative was college food. So Mi Pueblo is just a step above college food....

Went with brother in law and sister in law. We were in town checking out where my brother in law was going to be working. Decided to have Mexican and remember this place when driving around.

Located in a old train station depot, it's your typical mexican restaurant with loud colors and decorations. None of us had drinks.

Hostess seated us quickly and we had barely sat down before the waiter was standing there asking us what we wanted to drink. He also handed us menus stepped away which seemed like a minute to get chips and salsa and then asked what we wanted for dinner upon his return. Now the menu is fairly large so none of us were prepared.

Now, I will say this, the salsa was heavy on the tomatoes with very little kick to it. The chips, warm but appeared store bought. Granted this town is in the middle of no where but having mexican natives owning and operating I was disappointed.

The sister in law split a 10" burrito, I had the Mi Pueblo Fajita special and my brother in law had...damn, I can't remember. Sister in law said the burrito was good, not great but good. My Fajitas were hot, but only receiving 3 corn tortillas it was tiresome to ask for more given the amount of food received. More veggies than meat, but it was enough.

The beans and rice were outstanding.

Overall, given there aren't many Mexican places around, I would go back again understanding the limitations they have.

It's just not about food, it's about service too.

Good food at a good price.  Chips and salsa come with the meal.  Good portions and very good food.  Their service is good and decently fast.
