Taqueria Mi Pueblo — solid, no-fuss mexican in Back of the Yards. Order the Tacos Al Pastor. The kind of cooking that doesn't need to explain itself. "The Al Pastor is amazing here, a must try" — Felix Estrada [$$, patio]

☀️Patio — a Back of the Yards classic in summer.

Great Mexican restaurant, the food is delicious, the service is warm and thoughtful, I speak Chinese, the waiter is you speak Spanish, but it does not affect our communication, great experience, I recommend you to try

I was excited to try this place but was ultimately disappointed. The food was pretty bland overall. The burritos especially were not very good. I would not recommend anything except the tacos, which were good, but kinda pricey. Even the salsas were bland. The red one tasted like watered-down canned chipotle sauce. Also, I tried ordering online but it wouldn't go through, so I had to order over the phone. Not only did they mess up the order, but it cost 50% more than the online price. That's crazy. Probably won't be back.

Swear the best damn Mexican food I have ever had! The Creme green salsa was nostalgic! Will only be eating tacos and Cemitas from here on out!
