"This family-owned institution in Southwest serves an expansive menu with options like Detroit-style botana and menudo, but many customers simply spring for the tacos. Mi Pueblo’s selection of fillings includes options like chicharron en salsa roja (pork rinds in red sauce), lengua (beef tongue), and lomo (shredded pork loin). The establishment also has an express restaurant for patrons in need of a quicker, carryout meal. Online ordering is available." - Serena Maria Daniels
"This expansive Mexican restaurant in Southwest Detroit is a favorite for big groups and particularly families with kids. Children can munch on approachable options at Taqueria Mi Pueblo such as breaded and fried milanesa (with a choice of chicken or steak), kid-sized burritos, and quesadillas — all served with choice of rice and beans, salad, or fries. Take in the colorful atmosphere in the sprawling dining room. And when to-go options are a must, there’s Mi Pueblo Express across the street." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Mi Pueblo, a Detroit stalwart, started off years ago as an informal weekends-only taqueria in a house but has become a destination for its vast menu, friendly atmosphere, and colorful decor. Among its array of traditional Mexican dishes is the torta, made with a bolillo roll and filled with choice of Mexican-style meats like pollo milanesa, suadero, and chorizo, as well as veggie-friendly options like marinated mushrooms. Each torta is also filled with refried beans, jalapeños, avocado, lettuce, and tomato." - Serena Maria Daniels
"The family known for this beloved casual Mexican restaurant in southwest Detroit expanded by taking over a classic Coney Island–style diner, helping to blend traditional diner staples with Mexican breakfast favorites and reposition expectations of what a neighborhood Coney Island can offer." - Serena Maria Daniels
