Good food, authentic and flavorful. Great ambiance, decent customer service. Ordered many dishes to try on our first visit. Rating formula: flavor, authenticity, value 2/$9 special: Carne Adada Taco 4.5/5 $4.50 Carnitas Taco 4.5/5 $4.50 Margaritas 4/5 $8/$12 happy hour special Chips $5 4/5 Tacos are rated highest because of the special pricing, they were very good and authentic tasting. Meat was plentiful, they are not stingy with taco filling. Salsa bar was outstanding. Chips were good, but charging $5 for a plate with just chips is kinda silly value wise. Egg on our face for ordering that. Carne Asada Burrito 4/5 $12+ Bean Burrito $7+ 4/5 $12 for carne asada burrito gives them a nice profit margin, but not great for consumers. Part of why I gave this place a try was because of all the reviews talking about the cheap 0.99 cent fish tacos etc.. ($1.09 now!/eyeroll) If you want good Mexican food at a great price, try Lourdes in Cardiff, instead. The food is pretty tasty, so we will be back when the mood strikes, but we ended up with a tab for two parents and a kid at well above what we expected for the amount of food we bought. Next time, we will not order the overpriced stuff and hopefully be satisfied with the experience.

Editing my review to 2 stars because some time has passed and a lot of people have been seeing this review. If they have improved their service since I went in, I do hope that people will have the chance to go in and see that. Heard great things about this place and was excited to try. Staff wasn’t nice and came off as cold but that usually means the food is going to be amazing so I’m okay with that. This has never happened to me before but I’m actually quite certain that they gave me leftover food from someone else’s plate or something. My food looked like slop and was covered with fresh lettuce, rice, and beans to make it look like a fresh plate. I gave the benefit of the doubt at first but as I kept eating there were warm and cold spots in the food and I found gross looking food items that shouldn’t have been in this dish like a green bean and two old, sigues fried coated in guac. My stomach has been unhappy ever since but hopefully I’m wrong about this and they didn’t actually do that but I can’t think of a different explanation. I normally have no problem speaking up about concerns but the staff was already really cold so I didn’t think they’d care to help anyways. Sucks bc I really wanted to like this place.

This little nook that has been here apparently for ages is a gem. This is my 2nd time eating here. I was looking for a place to watch the game and grab a quick bite in jeans and t shirt. El Pueblo was recommended by a friend and I am grateful. The service is fast. The prices are more than fair and in some cases, down right cheap ($1.39 fish tacos for example). The food was delicious. I saved space for their tortilla soup and the base alone was amazing. The staff was friendly although a bit mechanical to newbies but expected. I have to remark that I never expected the high quality of alcohol, especially tequila to be served here. Pappy van winkle too? By thee way, ask from Joe. He offers excellent service behind the bar. Overall, it was an excellent experience. And I will be back.

Not the best and not the worst place for Mexican food. I ordered a surf and turf burrito. There are like 10-15 people by the register. They are very unorganized. I had to wait like 20 min for my burrito. There were like 7 red shirted people just standing and panicking with each orders at the front. And just like 3 cooks! C'mon guys you can do better! Also if it's to go please have some salsa cups ready to go. I didn't knew there was a salsa bar. I had to spend more time on getting salsas. Please put one of your guys to make some salsas to go!

Decided to give this place a try, and sadly I was disappointed. My husband ordered a California burrito which wasn’t terrible but definitely the ratios need to be changed. There was hardly any meat in comparison to the pico and french fries which the fries were very cardboard tasting. I ordered two tacos, one shrimp & one fish. The fish was the better of the two but the shrimp was extremely disappointing. I was disappointed by the ratio because I received maybe 3 small shrimp and a huge scoop of rice with some sour cream.
