Mi Pueblito Chico Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Chico

I've heard of Mexican food described as peasant comfort food. So $55 for two plates and one drink seemed a lot.

$22 seemed excessive for the "Burritos Roqueta," two small rolled flour tortillas filled with pork (currently selling for $1.59 a pound), and some cheese sauce. What was in the dish did not seem like carnitas to me, no crispy brownness no cumin, no cinnamon, no garlic, no spices no orange. This was like steamed Birria or something, just pulled pork, which was good enough if it were described like that.

Also, everybody's dishes seemed to be plated in a way that the beans and rice were spread out cartoonishly large to look like more food. The refried beans were thin and soupy tasting, like they had been thinned out with a little water.

The signature white queso cheese sauce that I had read so many good reviews about was used very sparingly on my plate, and what was the sauce had separated into water and a skin of weird curd.

Atmosphere was fun, very warm and cozy space. Waitstaff were super friendly and helpful.

The owner responds apologetically to each of the negative reviews here and invites people for compensation, but the real fix would be to lower the prices a bit and stop saying...

This will be the first and last time me and my wife order from here. We wanted to try it because we heard it was amazing and at first it was. Then about 3/4 of the way through my burrito I found a pretty big bone. Luckily I tasted it before I swallowed because it would've easily gotten lodged in my throat and I would've needed to go to the ER. So I figured oh well I have bones in tuna sometimes I'll forgive it and kept eating; my mistake. I literally found FOUR more bones in the burrito. It got so bad I just threw the last half away.

We told them about the problem and they didn't care. No response, no "sorry", nothing. It's kind of sad too because their food is actually pretty good but not good enough to visit the ER or risk dying for.

Update: They said they'd reach out to try and make up for our meal and never did. My wife confirmed she let them know of the problem and they ignored her. Definitely...

Upside: Food and service. Downside: Music

Food was amazing! Had the carnitas burrito and soup. Burrito was huge, enough for two meals. Haven't been here in a while and the service was great! Our server was prompt and made sure we had everything we needed. I can't remember her name but she had red hair.

The only downside is since I dined in I had to listen to christian music the entire time. I get during the Christmas season, but that's over and it honestly ruins the ambiance of a solid Mexican restaurant. Probably won't dine in again if that's what they...
