This post has been on the shelf for quite some time. We're really sorry about being away for the summer, but we'll get back to work now that the weather is cooling off.

Jon's Take
Mi Pueblo is a solid place to eat, especially if you are hungry. It smells great as soon as you walk in the door and your servers are prompt to bring you as much chips and salsa as you'd like. I like that they bring you multiple dishes for the salsa so you can double dip.

There's a couple of basic Italian dishes on the menu for anyone who doesn't like Mexican, but that's not why we're at Mi Pueblo. We're there for the extremely long menu filled with countless variations of Mexican cuisine. There's at least 50 different things on the menu, plus combo meals in which you can basically put together anything you want.

I got a Chimichanga for $7.95 and I wasn't really sure what it was going in. Turns out most Mexican dishes from places like this are pretty much the same. It was a rolled up meat filled thing that came with rice and refried beans -- all high quality. I also tasted Jason's dish and it was really distinct and excellent. I'd recommend whatever he got if you're at any of the Mi Pueblo locations in the Piedmont Triad.

Last but not least, they have huge Dos Equis drafts with lime for $3.00 which has to be one of the best beer deals in town. A huge amount of food plus several drafts came up to $28.94 including tax. It was a solid meal for the value and I'll be going back plenty in the future.

Jason's Take


I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the specialty section of the Mi Pueblo menu.  As far as decor, Mi Pueblo is much like any Mexican Restaurant, nothing to special.  They have tacos, burritos, and the numbered combination meals that are the same at every Mexican joint in the continental US.  They even have the 32oz. Dos Equis on draft that I have grown to love at every Mexican eatery.  What sets Mi Pueblo above all other places I have eaten are the many special dishes on the menu.

Jon and I started with Cheese dip with beef.  They take the normal cheese dip and add in some seasoned, grounded beef which enhances the flavor and makes it possible to get more of it on a chip.  As for the chips, well they are the same everywhere so that is all I will say about that.  The dip though, is excellent.

For my entrée, I settled on the Jerk Pork tenderloin (9.95).  The is a very unique dish, not one I typically see at a Mexican restaurant.  The plate has thin slices of Pork flavored with Jerk seasoning, topped with a pineapple, sour cream sauce with adds a little sweetness to the spice.  The dish is also served with rice, black beans, and grilled veggies (asparagus, squash, onion, bell pepper).  The perfect bite of this dish is a small slice of asparagus with some pork and the sauce, and of course the many rice grains that stick as you put the food on the fork.  This dish surpasses any "traditional" mexican dish on the menu i.e. burrito or enchilada.  The jerk pork tenderloin is definitely on of the highlights of this blog journey and I can't wait to eat it again.  If I were an octopus I would give this dish eight tentacles up!
