El Pueblo — Restaurant in Dallas

Always good food but today was very dissapointing. Ordered the Jamaican juice and asked before hand if it was fresh, which the waitress said yes.

The drink itself had so much sugar that I had to ask to get it deducted from the check because I only had half.

Then they had the nerve thinking I was skimming them out of their money because they only offered me another "fresh drink" in which I refused. All I wanted was for them to deduct $2.99 from my check. The cashier grabbed my drink and opened it to see how much I had consumed and said "I'll deduct half of it" which I just said "fine" just to pay our meal then leave. The receipt did not show where the deduction was taken off, so I am not convinced they did me right. Never had this type of service here before.

Also while my mom and I were eating, this homeless guy came inside the restaurant and started asking us for money WHILE WE WERE EATING! We ignored this person then he proceeds to walk around other tables to panhandle. I ask a waitress to remove this person out of the place and they did not do anything about it. A lot of people left after this at the same time ruining the atmosphere. It got quiet real quick plus ruining our appetite. Do not think we will come back again for awhile. The waitresses need to have better manners towards customers and learn to run me my freaking money! Nadamas porque tenemos la cara de nopal nos tratan así, pero si fuera un american y me quejo ya fuera...

Would like to post about the food but never got to try it.

Was there Saturday evening with a group of 6 about 2 pm after visiting the zoo. We stood at the door for about 10 minutes or longer being ignored. No one came up and said anything. The staff was cleaning all the small tables that seat 4 and didn’t clean the larger tables until last, leaving our party of 6 standing just inside the door for 10 minutes. We finally got to the table and everyone gets seated and then the waitress comes up and says “we are only accepting cash” no credit or debit cards. Really? Why didn't you tell us that while we were standing at the door for 10 minutes?? We were unprepared to pay cash so we had to leave and go find another restaurant. This place is a mess. If you like to stand at the door for 10 or 15 minutes being ignored then you might like this place. The staff doesn't seem to care about their patrons. We...

A beautiful establishment. This was about a week ago, but I still remember what we ordered.

-Enchiladas rojas (7/10 A little dry for my taste but delicious regardless and their rice and beans were very very tasty)

-Tacos al pastor (8.5/10 I did not order this so I can't do the breakdown of the tasting 😅)

-Tacos de barbacoa (10/10 my sister in law always orders these)

-Menudo (10/10 yet again, my sister in law always orders this one. Very flavorful and well seasoned)

-Pozole (9/10)

-Agua fresca de Horchata Small (9/10 I loved it, she was fresh and sweet and cinnamon-ish)

-Agua fresca de Sandía/Watermelon Small (100/10 You could tell it was made from real fruit)

-Mexican Coca-Cola

Their portions are overall pretty big (half of our food went to a to-go box) and decent for their prices. I'd go back here any time, even if it is to just get one of their aguas frescas. Very...
