I really don’t like to go on and leave bad reviews but sometimes it is more than deserved. This is my third time trying El Pueblito once we ate inside and twice for takeout. I really wanted to like it because of all the reviews and how close it is to my house but after eating here, I wonder if the people who praise the food here even have any taste buds. Not only was the food bad eating in, the service was nothing to write home about. In all cases, the food was cold and I don’t mean room temp, I mean cold. This last time I ordered they said it would be ready in 10 minutes, which is concerning enough, but I got there in 5. Food was already packaged. This tells me that they just make a bunch of food and heat it up in the microwave when ordered which makes a lot of sense because why would the cheese and sauce be burnt to the to go containers if they didn’t? This was dinner time and everything we ordered tasted like it was 2 3 day leftovers quickly microwaved just enough for cheese to melt. The taste, even if not old, was the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had. We were quickly reminded about why we said we wouldn’t eat there again. They drown everything in ridiculous amounts of cold sauces, probably to mask the old meat and veggie smells. I’ve eaten at my fair share of bad restaurants that I could chalk up to just not being my cup of tea but then there’s places like this that have to make a conscious effort to be this bad. Save your money. It’s no better eating inside and the staff all act like they don’t want to be there and don’t care if you know it or not.

Great prices and food is real Mexican food. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Fajita Steak Chimichanga Dinner, Chips Salsa, Cheese Dip, Nachos Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options: Free parking lot
