Mi Pueblito Restaurant

Delicious Mexican and Salvadorian food. Fast and friendly service. I got the Plato Mi Pueblito and my bf got the Colombian plate. I loved the shrimp, perfectly Salted. The steak had a few chewy bites, but a few really phenomenal bites too. I just wish it was more consistent. I stole some chicharron from my bf and it was really delicious. Some places over cook them but this was both crispy and moist. And while it seems simple, the rice was really nicely done too. Kind of stuck together, and not over-salted. We sat on the patio which was really lovely on a warm day. They have several ceiling fans in the covered patio, basic patio seating, and just the right amount of flowers to look polished. I would definitely eat here again

Mi Pueblito Restaurant is a Mexican/Guatemalan Restaurant located at 333 Border Street in East Boston, Ma. I have lived in East Boston for so many years and passed by this place hundreds of times and even after moving away from Eastie, I always wanted to come back and give this restaurant a try. I finally pulled the trigger on a weekday night after taking the children to the park in East Boston. The night we went, it was windy and slightly chilly. However, all patrons sat outdoors in the patio seating area instead of indoors. Although plenty of seating inside, nothing beats sitting outdoors. I ordered the shrimp and oyster ceviche while my husband ordered the beef tongue soft tacos. I also ordered the Harina de maiz / Corn flour with pork and cheese. I would order this again. I also highly recommend the margarita. Probably one of the best I have had. I'll have to try more dishes next time. Excellent customer service as well.

My friend finally took me here after promising such a long time ago. She told me there was a parking lot but by the time we got there on a Saturday morning, there was one very narrow spot. A kind staff member tried to suggest how to get in but then recommended the school parking lot just across the street. It was a kind gesture and greatly appreciated. For appetizers we shared Pupusas lorroco and revueltas as well as Chicharron con yucca frita. The pupusas were larger than usual and came out pretty quick. They tasted good but fell apart very easily. Chicharron was crispy with the fatty layer still slightly soft and easier to chew into than usual. I personally would have liked the yucca fried for longer so that I could see more of a separation between the layers but still yummy with the pink sauce, tomato sauce and cabbage salad. For entrees we shared Huevos con chorizo and Camorones Al ajillo. All the ingredients were fresh and tasty. I enjoyed the variety of textures, temperatures and colors. Shrimps we're plump and delicious. Overall, we had a great experience. Staff went above and beyond to continually check on us and complete our requests. Bathroom was clean and spacious. Highly recommend checking them out!

Hidden FEES alert!!! Went there for hubby's birthday. The food was okay not the greatest but not the worst, Salad that came with the food on the plate was really old. It tasted like it has been left out for a long long time. Decent price tho for the food but it adds up. We were slap with something called the leverage fee which we had to ask what's it. We found out it was a fee for using credit card but there were no signs regarding extra fee for using credit card anywhere not on the menu or the restaurant. We had cash with us. We saw it after they charged our credit card. We were 3 adult and one toddler but was automatically charged with 18 percent tips which was fine. But on the final credit card signature portion slip asks for more tips. I had to remind my husband we paid tips already and no need to pay for more tips. So be AWARE! Will I go back, probably no. The tip and hidden fees are getting out of control.

This is still my all time favorite: chilaquiles con pollo. Before and even after the pandemic, this dish has been consistent. I haven't been here in a long while. The tortillas taste like they are freshly fried and are crispy. The orangey colored salsa is a medium to hot heat. It makes me tear up every time, but I think that's what I love about this dish. I just crave it because it's not just the heat, it also packs a lot of flavor. The crema and cortija cheese compliment the salsa by balancing out the heat with some coolness. The chicken is grilled and seasoned well. The egg, white rice, and scallion are delicious too. If you do not handle heat well, do not order as is. Yes, the pupusas are also delicious here. Venture out to other dishes. That's my advice. This Rican approves!

The shrimp tacos were superb. The red sauce they have there added the perfect amount of picante to the tacos. Recommend corn tortillas always. You really get the most bang for your buck here as the 3 shrimps tacos also come w/ red beans and rice. So come with an empty stomach. Pina colada was decent but more on the watery side. Would recommend a frozen margarita instead. Very cute interior with the booths.

Nothing but love! Me and my family enjoy coming to this restaurant every single time. A true cultural feel and the staff are super nice and welcoming. The crispy shrimp tacos are #1!!!

Amazing food. Deliveries are immaculately]laced I, order. Their Piña Colada is delicious, for the most part, service is good. They tend to forget about you at țimes.

My Mexican friend said the menu/pictures don't look too authentic. But I think the food is not bad. I got the huevos rancheros. It came with tortilla. The tortilla is ok. Everything else is pretty good. The price is good for the portion. They have a small parking lot and 2-hour street parking outside.

Overprices and terrible. $14.99 Steak burrito where's the beef, $15.99 for steak quesadilla. With tax $35. Last time
