| - I'm so sad right now. Mi Pueblo was my favorite place in the area for Mexican food and when I first heard that the name changed, everyone said the food would stay the same as it was really just a change in management. I kept my hopes up and decided to give the new place a chance..
food. At all. Almost nothing is the same except the decor and sign on the outside!
No, it's not the same
The menu is very small now, for one. They also have just one table salsa (instead of the two amazing ones they had before) and the salsa is just okay. PLUS the chips are NOT FRESH anymore. They used to be incredibly fresh and hot but now they have them sitting under a heating lamp and they're boarderline stale by the time you get them.
The food itself is fine but is honeslty no better than any other Meixcan place now. El Jalapenos is basically the same thing but has a bigger menu, even. Everything before was so good and there were so many options but now, as a vegetarian, I had maybe 4 options and only one appealed to me. So selection was a huge disappointment and while the food itself wasn't gross, it just wasn't anything special.
Oh, I also asked for sangria (which was awesome at Mi Pueblo) and was given a sangria flavored carbonated soda. Uhhh what? You should have said "no, we don't have sangria but we have soda flavored like it." Not "yes, we have that!" You do not have sangria. Do you guys not know what sangria actually is? The margaritas were also a let down. Super sweet and clearly no effort put in whatsoever.
The last thing I can think to add is that the food also isn't worth the price anymore, even. It's not terribly overpriced or anything but just isn't good enough for how much I spent on my dinner. It was a bummer.
The only silver lining, for me, was the guacamole con queso. Lots of cilantro and good flavors overall. However, one good dish of guacamole isn't enough to keep me coming back.. I sadly do not plan to return to this restaurant and will miss Mi Peublo always! I'm only giving 2 stars instead of 1 because I think the urge to give just one is because I can't stop comparing it to the former restaurant. Without the comparison, it's just nothing special but isn't terrible. With the comparison, I'm increidbly disappointed.
