El Pueblo Mexican Restaurant

Rad Carne asada hard shell tacos ... fresh fried for you. Chips and salsa - you gotta get it. Salsa is orange mild spicy, great layered flavors. Pozole- came with the usual fixings, I wish it was cabbage instead of lettuce but OK. Soup was flavorful and spicy-good. Lots of hominy, with chunks of pork. Carnitas torta - standard torta, good flavor on the carnitas. If there was beans I couldn't tell; more mayo would have helped. Parking & location: strip mall free shared parking Price: average / good price for restaurant dishes. Flavor: good all around, and they put out to-go orders like crazy Service: couple of super hard working and friendly women; good service overall.

This is a small authentic Mexican restaurant in a little plaza on Aloma Ave by a Chevron gas station. The staff is friendly and the food is pretty good. Their prices are reasonable.

I have driven by El Pueblo Mexican Restaurant quite a few times and always wanted to stop by. It is located in a shady looking shopping plaza that is in need of not only a face-lift, but this shopping plaza could stand with a good cleaning and picking up the garbage strewn throughout the parking lot.Where others might want to avoid a shopping plaza like this, this Mexican restaurant being in here made me want to try it even more. I have long held onto the belief that the best Mexican food comes from these little hole-in-the-wall type places. The staff here was friendly and enhanced my overall experience. I ended up going with two tacos and a gordita. For the tacos, I went with a carne asada taco and a chorizo taco and for the gordita, I went with the carnitas filling. I would say that the carne asada was my favorite protein and sadly, I thought the chorizo was the weakest. Chorizo is usually my favorite, the chorizo here was just too strong of, I don't know, maybe too much worcestershire (that's the impression that I got). But still, all in all this was a great stop.I would definitely recommend this hole-in-the-wall type restaurant and I will be back. I will give it five stars.

Since moving to Florida from Las Vegas, we haven't found a place to enjoy Mexican food. That is until now. We have found our go to authentic Mexican restaurant. If you're like us, you know there's no such thing as gourmet Mexican food. El Pueblo Mexican Restaurant has a handful of tables with lively decor. My husband got gorditas and sopes. I got pozole and our little one got carne asada tacos. We also ordered some guacamole and chips. Their chips have a different texture and taste to them. I really enjoyed them compared to the overly fried tortilla chips you'd get at most restaurants. The food was...*chefs kiss*! Perfect. Service was on point. We need to go back to get their pitchers of agua frescas. We saw other tables getting them while we were eating so we decided to get them next time. And then the best part of the whole meal, THE PRICE!!! It was so affordable for all the food we ate. It was the most affordable meal we've had since moving to Florida. Do not sleep on this restaurant!!! You'll be missing out!

I have seen this restaurant driving by and since we were around the area and already hungry, we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is very small but cozy. They get a lot of to go orders, so we may do that next time. We sat at one of the booths and got a server right away. She was nice, friendly and got our order right away. We did not get chips and salsa, so not sure if it is their practice or maybe given upon request. We did not ask and not bothered to not have them. We ordered the grilled steak with onions, rice, beans and salad, a chicharron taco (spicy), a pastor taco (super tasty) and 2 chicken sopes (chicken tasted yummy). It is hard to get a good sope and this one is one of the best I have had in a while! The dough was nit hard or fried and cooked as it should. The ingredients on top with the chicken did make delicious!

This place is amazing. The food is some of the best Mexican food I've ever had let alone in Orlando. The ambiance is homey and small, feels like you've walked into an authentic part of Mexico. Prices and service are top tier and there is no way you could not have a better experience coming here!

What a great find. This restaurant is super cute, with detailed decorative booths and tables. The food was delicious! And our bill was literally the cheapest dinner bill we have had in a LONG time. Would definitely go back and highly recommend. The restaurant is small, with only a few booths available. The service was great.

We came here because the reviews were good and honestly, from the outside I would never have guessed it would have been good! But once you enter, you know this place is authentic! The decor is classically Mexican but so was the lack of air conditioning, I felt like I was transported back to Mexico heat! The service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the three tacos special with steak, pork, and ground beef. My mom ordered a steak quesadilla. The chips and salsa offered before the meal were ok. The chips were definitely from a bag which I was a little disappointed considering the authenticity of the place. The steak quesadilla had a great taste. The hard taco shells were ok, but really greasy for my taste. And honestly, the taco filling, rice, or beans didn't have a ton of flavor. Both my mom and I had heartburn a few hours later. I am not sure if I'd come back although I was sick excited to find an authentic Mexican restaurant so close by! Hoping it was just a bad day and they are usually better.

We were in town to see Crypta and decided to stop at Boston's Fish House but there was a line. We didn't feel like waiting and thankfully we didn't because we ended up walking just down the street to something so much better at el Pueblo! Fortunately there was one booth left for us in this little cozy place. I don't know what it was, but this was one of the best Mexican restaurants I have eaten in. I had the chicken flautas with rice and beans. The chicken was so damn flavorful!! It was exceptionally flavorful! The rice had a couple of slices of avocado on it and I have no idea what was different but the refried beans tasted heavenly. Refried beans are refried beans, right? I always thought so until I tasted these. The cheese on top flautas was so tasty with the onion....just the little touches proved the meal was made with pride. The salsa that came with our chip was really good too. I don't know if it even could be called salsa but it was great. Since everyone, staff and customers, was speaking Spanish I felt compelled to try but got nervous and ended up sounding like a complete goober. Our server was nice enough not to laugh at me. We will definitely be stopping here again.

Amazing food for amazing prices, for about a few dollars less than most sit down restaurants, you can get authentic tasty Mexican dishes. Couldn't recommend this place enough, especially their Torta Cubana, always have to get it each time!Their interior is so colorful and the service is great as well!I hope this place never closes or sells out!
