| - I love Mexican food with a passion greater than I have for many things in life. On our trips to Tucson we basically eat nothing but Mexican food because you can find it in abundance and it is authentic. If you are reading this and thinking "yeah, I love Taco Bell," then I kindly ask you to stop reading, pick up the nearest heavy object, and smash it over your head. Anyway, it's not as easy in Cleveland, Ohio to find decent, much less fantastic, authentic Mexican food.... but you really only need one, and that one is Mi Pueblo.
The prices are reasonable, especially when you see the amount of food you get. Now I have been known to clean my plate in Mexican Restaurants, regardless of my fullness, regardless of the pain of my stomach stretching to new sizes, regardless of the food coma that I know will hit me shortly after eating that much food. I love Mexican food so much that I just can't stop. Mi Pueblo, however, served me so much food, that I could barely eat half my meal. This does not mean I did not love every bite, because I did, there was literally that much food.
Of course we started by munching on the usual chips and salsa. The salsa, however, is not so usual. You get one red and one green and they are both fantastic. We then got an appetizer (this could be considered a mistake, considering we knew how much food would be coming... but ooooh it was so good... trust me... get the app and then bring some of your meal home.) We chose the "Queso Fundido con Rajas." Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. For those of you less proficient en Espanol, this is a plate of melted Chihuahua cheese with poblano peppers which comes with warm tortillas to wrap it all up in. This is one of my favorite appetizers of all time. If you are a cheese addict like me, you need this!
Then our meals came. Jason ordered the Flautas, which were piled high with cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and home made guacamole... They were good, really good. There was so much food on his plate you really could not see the plate, between the rice, beans, four flautas with the previously described toppings and a little arrangement of lettuce tomato and I believe cucumber for those trying to consume something healthy along with this meal :)
My meal was way more than expected. I ordered the Gorditas. I actually thought I would be getting one gordita, along with rice and beans. Instead, my rice and beans had to be served on a separate plate because the THREE gorditas on the other plate didn't leave room for side dishes. These things are like thick, crispy, taco sandwiches. I got the carnitas (shredded pork), which was cooked perfectly. I had enough left over to eat a second very filling meal today for lunch, and honestly, should have split it into three -- but I am a glutton for punishment. Each gordita is plenty of food on it's own.
I wish I knew more about the history of this place. I don't know how long it's been there, but I believe it's been a long time. Everyone who works there is super friendly and they have a great jukebox filled with Mexican and Tejano music. We always go to the original one on Lorain Rd, but I believe there is also one located in University Circle. We've gone for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and were never once disappointed. I highly, highly, recommend Mi Pueblo for your next Mexican meal.
