El Pueblito Mexican Restaurant

Looks and feels like any other typical small town Mexican restaurant. Was my go-to lunch place with co-workers when I lived in Chanute. Service is really good and the food is always above par (not great) for the course. I've tried numerous items off the menu and never been disappointed. Quality, however, varies on some days. Never seems to be consistent. You can order the same dish on two different days and have two completely experiences. That being said, would recommend if you need a quick lunch.

I don't live in Kansas anymore but anytime I visit I make sure to stop in!I love the chicken enchiladas, taco salad, cheese dip and la prima!!

I've had lunch here twice and I still feel uncertain about the food. I know that it's not just because it's Kansas. I've had great Kansas-Mex. I know that it's not just because I live in Texas either. It seems to be an inconsistency in the quality, a lack of seasoning and creativity and a feeling of disappointment after the meal.The do have free tasty house salsa and chips. El Pueblito also has a good white queso dip. It's just cheese, though. No slivers of onion or pepper and fairly expensive considering what you get. This last visit, I ordered the pork chile verde with additional charro beans. I love salsa verde and green chile and actually had no quarrel with the sauce; but what was supposed to be tender chunks of pork came as dry chewy shredded pork and there was really no saving the dish. The charro beans were okay with a good broth. My tortillas arrived wrapped in foil; but they were cold. I sent them back and got barely warm ones in return. The tortillas appear to be house made and turned out to be very good.My friend had some small well seasoned chargrilled butterflied shrimp that were served unadorned on a cheesey rice. It was sort of white on rice. Not very interesting looking; but yummy.El Pueblito is a large restaurant with private parking. They've carved out intimate spaces inside and they have a track record for speedy lunch service.My food both times was average to unsatisfactory, served in above average surroundings with good climate control and in a thoroughly modern building. I wish the food impressed me as much as the building.

Large group served with ease, they can handle a large lunch crowd. Plenty of servers & big kitchen. Better than average, let's say decent. A bit mild, didn't need more heat yet some mixed flavors. Could expect more avocado on the avocados enchiladas. A happy place, worth a stop, well yes.

Had a great lunch after Church. The food was perfect and the service was awesome. Been there before and will go back again. Burrito Jalisco

This place is every bit as disappointing as the last time we were in Chanute. The ground beef in the taco is flavorless, the guacamole was thin and a very small serving. The beans were bland. The salsa was mediocre. The staff was friendly and the place looked good. Just do not expect decent Mexican food here. You are better off going to Taco John's. One of these days I will learn that once out of Texas, it is hard to get get good Mexican food. The food is edible, just not very flavorful.

Nice place , very friendly employees , greeted well at door , waitress was very nice gave off recommendations on menu , chips and salsa brought out by buss girl , music playing , menu was plentiful , ordered taquitos beef and chicken , fresh full of flavor and meat 3 on each plate with rice and guacamole dip. Hot and fresh ! This place takes pride in the business and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT IF YOU GET TO CHANUTE ,KANSAS !

We have eaten there many times. Today we showed up and needed a table for 5. My wife and I were there and our kids were coming from church. We were told that we could not be seated until everyone was there. Never had that happen before. I will second-guess going back again. We left and found a great restaurant on the north side of town.

It's the best Mexican restaurant out of the numerous other Mexican restaurants in this town.

This place was very very good! The staff was super accommodating and the food was amazing! I enjoyed the chicken fajitas and the chicken wasn't dry like you sometimes find at other Mexican restaurants. Traveling and passing through new towns is interesting because you never know what places to go, but I would recommend going here if you're unsure of other places!
