“ This place was really hard to find because the signs say “mi pueblito” but on google maps is called mi pueblito de Acapulco and having people attacking you outside every restaurant tell you their restauran is the correct one does not make it any easier, they should fix the name discrepancy to make it clear. Food was pretty good, they give you salsas but no chips to munch on. The waiter recommended some crunchy tacos with seafood in them, those were really good. My daughter loved a plate they have with al pastor and a side of beans. They have whole fish but be aware that its cooked on the grille not deep fried so I personally think it was good but not as good as the fried type and my mom and nephew agreed with me since they had the same thing. It was little dry and flavor was not as good. I would get something else of the menu to be honest ”
“ Many restaurants lined up next to each other, we ate breakfast at more than one over the week and this is the best one by far (orange/yellow table cover)! ”
“ Good portion, server was really nice and helped with anything! ”
“ This El Pueblito restaurant offers lovely service, with a skilled staff to attract customers and a friendly attitude. Although they can be a bit slow in service, they treat you well and offer complimentary drinks while you wait for your meal. The sea and land grill is delicious, with good meat at the right temperature and tasty shrimp, although a little salty but with the delicious and refreshing drinks you don't feel anything. However, the dessert is cloying and not very fresh although it is delicious. The atmosphere is nice and clean, with colorful Mexican décor, and it's conveniently located in a central location for where it's located has very good prices, it's worth it and I would go again. ”
“ Tables and chairs could be a little more comfortable but over all the taste was amazing prices were good definitely recommend ”
