I am thrilled with the service we received at el Pueblo. We are a local volleyball club and wanted to have a wacky dinner out. We called the restaurant a week before to see if they could accommodate a group of more than 50 and they agreed. The service was great! The teamwork was spectacular and our players and their families were treated with respect. I know there were all kinds of meals eaten and everyone was satisfied. I personally had the chicken tacos and they were delicious. The chicken wasn't too dry and the tortillas were cooked just right. The atmosphere was conducive to this kind of dinner. We were very pleased with our experience and are so very thankful for their hard work and accommodations. read more

The food doesn't seem to be as good as it used to be, unfortunately. It seems as though they have been cutting some corners, as so many businesses are doing these days to save money. We still intend to eat here sometimes, but not as often. read more

My wife and I got dinner at El Pueblo a couple weeks ago. The food was delicious and well-made, arriving quickly with great service. She recommended the restaurant based on one of her co-workers recommendations. The manager was also walking around checking in on customers and making sure everything was alright. Great food, great service! read more

We love this establishment! The servers remember us and engage in conversation! Our favorite server always brings our sodas to the table saying "tequila for you"! He's the best! We visit very often and always leave pleased with the food and service! Portions are large and always have leftovers to bring home! read more

The best Authentic Mexican food in Franklin . 5 stars Always Friendly and Service is always fast and delicious

This is one of the hidden gem Mexican restaurant in Franklin, it was my first visit here and I found this as an suggestion on my cars map screen so I tried looking for reviews on Yelp but on Yelp its listed as "MI Peaublo" instead of " El Pueblo". This restaurant is in shopping area and adjecent to dollar general so there are ample of parking spots available. Once you enter the restaurant the you realize the place is big inside and have very colorful Mexican vide to it they also have out door seating with 8 -9 dinning tables out doors and I must say the outdoor seating is very well maintained too. Staff is very friendly and food is awesome. Portion size are big so order accordingly as we were not able to finish what all we ordered. I will recommend there Margaret's they are delicious. A must try place. read more

Great food! Have always come here with family and recommend it to anyone Great salsa also! read more

My husband, son and myself went to El Pueblo on a random fluke last night. We are not from the area so we took a chance on this place. Could not be happier that we did! The food was excellent, but the service was even better!! Our waiter was outstanding. He joked with us, was very prompt, and the act of kindness he showed to us at the end...outstanding. We will definitely be back! read more

The food has been good! And we have life's here for a year and it was hard to find good food places! The service is always great, they are always kind and friendly! Definitely want to go back! read more

They have a w8de variety to please all members of the family. Their portions are plenty. The ingredients are fresh. Staff is friendly and joyful. Fun place to have a birthday dinner Adult, or child. Very fun and authentic flavor! read more

Food was just ok. They took a long time to serve us. We miss our regular waiter that used to be there. Now that he's gone, service is terrible. read more

*UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR* Service has been going downhill. Our numerous latest experiences have been in their outdoor dining area that's been in existence for several years; meaning... this is NOT a makeshift COVID-19 outdoor dining space, so no excuses about service. Also, us 3 women experienced an extremely inappropriate response to our beyond civil complaint (we 3 women have been servers & always give grace their way); we were encircled by 5 male servers singing, belittling, & at a minimum, sexual harassing us! WE WILL NEVER GO BACK! read more

Much better when Vanessa owned it. Since then it has been a horrible place to get food.

El Pueblo is the quintessential Mexican restaurant in Franklin. Everything on the menu is cooked to order. My favorite is Pollo Loco and chips with quest. El Pueblo feels like family. read more

Very tasty food chips and salsa were hotter than the rest of them I've ate at steak tacos were amazing my girl had a burrito loco service was perfect read more

EL Pueblo Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Franklin, Indiana

First thing, their chips were not hot and not crispy. I went to the bathroom and they delivered my chips to my table and by the time I got back the waiter "explained" to me that's why they were stale. I asked another waiter to bring me a new batch as my waiter declined to bring me a new basket. Second batch was stale too. So Ai just ordered from ala crate chimichanga and crunchy taco. The shell of the taco tasted stale as well. The chimichanga was a generous size though. I will not be back as Ai believe their food is not that great, their prices are too high, and waiters have an attitude. read more

My wife and I were in the area and decided to revisit Mi Peublo. I was disappointed as the experience wasn't as good as we have had in the past. I had the three beef taco combination plate for $8.99 and a 22oz Coors draft beer for $4.99. The beer was good and was worth it. The combo plate arrived luke warm. The beef tacos were made with ground beef - no shredded beef as I would expect at this price. This meal was very mediocre. The complimentary salsa was very watery with no chunks in it. The chips were small and not very tasty. To be fair, the service was fast and efficient. Overall I will think long and hard before I give it another try as there are many other Mexican restaurants in the area that have consistently high quality food at reasonable prices - and they serve their food piping hot. read more

EL Pueblo Mexican Restaurant - Medium Sized Frozen Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Franklin, Indiana

We completely enjoyed our dinner at El Pueblo. We have only recently moved to Indiana from California and have been looking for a tasty Mexican restaurant. After lots of trial and error we finally found it!!! The service is very friendly and fun, the menu has plenty to choose from and everything we tried was delicious. My favorite was the street tacos with carne asada. We went for dinner and there were plenty of tables available. It's bigger inside than we thought it was going to be. We liked it so much we took our family back for dinner the next evening !! read more

Super-picky husband gives the Carnitas 5 stars! Son gives the Tamale 5 stars. They both agreed the Queso was tasty. Guacamole was fresh, but mild. My taco was...meh; not a lot of flavor. Staff was friendly and service was excellent! read more

The food and service was amazing. The best chorizo queso I've ever had. Guacamole was amazing. I will definitely be back.

Mexican food is my favorite, and because I travel for work I have experienced Mexican restaurants all over the state of Indiana. Some are good, most are meh and few are great. This is one of Indiana's finest! I brought several of my coworkers here, and they all ordered lunch specials. II ordered one of the vegetarian plates. As soon as we were seated three baskets of chips and bowls of excellent salsa arrived at our table. The service was really good, friendly and extra fast. The food was really good and CHEAP! I don't know how they do it but we enjoyed mass quantities of food here cheaper than we have spent at fast food joints. We plan to return whenever we are working in Franklin. If I lived in Franklin I'd be fat......... read more

The family and i pulled up here after a full day of driving from Iowa. We had to call a few times because the address is misleading but once we finally got there they were easily able to seat all 12 of us without waiting. We were seated at two big tables and 3 servers instantly brought out 6 baskets of delicious chips and salsa. We ran out in about 5 minutes and were quickly given more. The waiters also got our drinks out in about 5 minutes and took our orders. I really appreciated the fast service. I ordered a cheese enchilada and bean tostada plate. It came with a big serving of beans and a very nice tostada. The Enchilada had a bitter tasting cheese in the middle. It was edible but not the kind of cheese id want to find in a Mexican dish. I did get the chance to try some ones Chile Rellenos, it was my first time trying it and I'm usually not a fan of spicy things. this however had the perfect amount of spice and flavor! Yum I also tried a Pina Colada made with about 75% alcohol and 25% Pina Colada.It was delicious as well =) Over all the food was about 4 bucks a dish...for a party of 12 that's an incredible bill. The service was great and we got our food timely. 4 stars for that but minus one star for the non 5 star food =) read more

I grew up on Mi Pueblo and still occasionally make the trip home to Franklin just to enjoy it. To add a bonus, they've handled this pandemic really well. Taking it more seriously than most. read more

I'm new to Indiana. My wife is from here and her family is a regular at this restaurant for a long time. Their cheese dip is ridiculous. I can't stop and they certainly don't stop brining tortilla so you are F'ed. You are in cycle of cheese abyss. I like their margarita. They know what ethy are doing to keep their customers. They make everything delicious and very generous about portions they give. I like that. In terms of eating healthy, this isn't a place but good comfort food. read more

EL Pueblo Mexican Restaurant - Sopapillas with chocolate and honey drizzled on top with ice cream. Very good! - Mexican Near Me - Franklin, Indiana

Food is amazing, service is fast and friendly. Clean restaurant. I've never had any issues!

I believe this place is under new management and now called El Pueblo but it's still the same delicious food. Huge margaritas! The staff is away super fast and friendly. The queso is delicious but I do feel like the chips have changed, not as thin as before. Good place to grab dinner when craving Mexican cuisine! read more

Really nice restaurant, quick and friendly service and the servers are very friendly but they messed up my order, when I clearly ordered something and the waiter acknowledged it. And proceeded to bring me something else and said that's what I had ordered. Weird. He did exchange it for what I actually ordered. I do recommend this place, but make sure the waiters acknowledge your order. read more

We love Mi Pueblo (El Pueblo) but very disappointed in the recent cheese dip price increase. I'm sorry but $10 for a 12 oz cheese dip is ridiculous. It used to be 16 oz. Definitely won't be ordering cheese dip anymore. read more

Stopped in here tonight for an evening dinner. Nice decor, plenty of seating. The service was muy rapido! Good service, good food, great prices. I prefer spicy food, but this was more authentic Mexican than it was Americanized Mexican. Still, good food all the way around. read more

Food is good, staff is pleasant. However, ordered the exact same meal three times over a three week period, and the total went up each time. Owner tried to say it was a "to go fee" of $2 (never had that on any of the other orders, and this time the receipt only showed a $1 "to go" fee). Something isn't right for it to go up $4 after the first order, then $2 this order, doubling the price from the first time a few weeks ago. Thankfully, we have enough Mexican places to pick from in Franklin with better food and service. Won't be going back. read more

We were out house hunting and learning the lay of the area. We found this restaurant on Yelp and were so disappointed. They were very busy and were not handling it well at all. Hostess greeted us and said she woulda be right back. A minute later a gentleman sat us did not say a word to us just threw our silverware down and took off. A minute later he threw chips and salsa on the table. After several minutes our server who was pleasant came and took our order. We ordered the same thing yet one meal came out and not the other. After eating half of the one meal I asked where the other meal was. She ran to get it. My husband ate it but said it was cold. Surly it sat in a window for some time. read more

Our first visit was great! If you like spicy make sure you ask for a side of tomatillo sauce, it is absolutely amazing! The queso was good and the large size was huge! Staff was very friendly. Dining area and bathrooms were very clean. Will definitely be back! read more

Stop it right now! I know what you're doing. You're debating where you should eat lunch and or dinner. Well stop it. El (Mi) Pueblo is the correct choice. Want something filling for cheap? Go Pueblo. Want delicious food to get over the hurt of rejection? Go Pueblo. Lost a finger because you haphazardly were chopping onions to make your own fajitas in a rush? Go to the doctor, and after they reattach your favorite finger... Go Pueblo. read more

one of the best dining experiences to visit. the staff is super friendly and the food is the best Mexican food around. Awesome environment.

The food is really good and the price is not high at all,the staff was friendly and always asking if need a refill or anything else.Thank you!!!A+ read more

This restaurant was once the hit of Franklin. They've done a complete 360 in the last couple of years. The salsa now tastes like straight tomato paste from a jar, the chips are always stale or over cooked, and the last meal I had (chicken taco salad) made me barf in the bathroom mid-meal. Don't recommend eating here. If you're looking for decent Mexican in the area, head to La Cocina just north on 31 or Pico de Gallo in Bargersville. read more

I had to go to Franklin to pay my first ever speeding ticket. I have never been to the actual city of Franklin before (I got the ticket on the highway) and when I have never been somewhere I like to try a local restaurant in the area. And when I know nothing about any of the local restaurants, I find the closest and hopefully the best Mexican food available. I asked the ladies in the ticket office where such a place would be and they did not steer me wrong when they sent me here. I can't remember what combo I ordered but I remember I really liked it. Same goes for my old man. We also got big ass margaritas and cheese dip (what else is new). The place was clean and funky, the servers were attentive and prompt, and everything was as tasty as it was plentiful. If I ever have to return to Franklin for a legal infraction, I will return to drown my sorrows in mas tequila and white queso. read more

Fantastic place. Their refried beans have a spicy twist. I usually just taste and pass on the rice and beans at Mexican places, but here, they are great! In addition, with such great pricing, they should have lines out the door. I just moved here from Vegas and Mi Pueblo tops the places I frequented there. Why not 5 stars? After a few more visits, they'll have to earn that. If first impressions are an indicator, shouldn't be a problem. read more

Excellent food, I highly recommend the place... My service is always great and as usual, can't wait to come back. Try them, you won't be disappointed. read more
