Very good food and not only good service but fast! I went to the bathroom as soon as I ordered and came back to my food and drink already on the table. Very sweet people. And delicious food!! Salsa bar where you can refill your own salsa with 3 very delicious options. Odilia and Fransisco are so sweet and hard working. They make me feel at home!

So I just found out that Mi Pueblo had a restaurant in the Northgate Plaza. I'm not a big mall person so dont bash me too hard lol. I've been missing out! I like this restaurant a LOT better than the downtown Novato location as it's easier to move around, it's got a full bar (Yeah!) and of course, the food is amazing. One thing that's really cool is that they have a fully stocked salsa bar. Many lesser restaurants have done away with any type of salsa bar due to the current climate. Well Mi Pueblo isn't having any of that and they're serving ALL their delicious salsa's!!! Be careful of the Orange Super-Hot one. I love spicy food but you gotta give that one some respect lol. I got a taco salad when I went last and my wife got the Chicken Tortilla soup. I loved my Taco Salad but the soup was awesome! It's definitely a lot though and might be good to split with an appetizer. at any rate, give it a shot if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed!

Our visits to the Bay Area always include a stop at Mi Pueblo. Authentic meals and generous portions will likely require a take home box. Quick service and friendly staff.

The salsa bar! The staff is attentive. Prices are a bit steep but the plates are loaded. We enjoyed the chimichanga. The chicken soup had tons of chicken and flavor. Two TVs for sports.

Inside, the full bar is a great feature, offering a range of beverages to accompany your meal. The staff at Mi Pueblo are exceptionally friendly and attentive, making every visit a pleasant experience. Impressively, the food comes out quickly, which is always a bonus when you're hungry.

We brought the family here while out of town and we absolutely LOVED this place.. The food is amazing. Great flavor, hot and great portions. We forgot to take pictures, that’s how good the food was. And the margarita was worth the price. Service was quick and friendly. Atmosphere was great as well. We had two small kids with us and we fit right in. We recommend this place for sure! We will be back when in town.
