Stopped by for a mid-morning breakfast on a Sunday afternoon and had an enjoyable experience. It was quite busy so it took a little long for food to come out, but they do give chips and salsa to munch on while you wait. I ordered the desyanos mi pueblito and it was really good. The steak was cooked perfectly and it came with everything I was craving. Plus the refried beans, creama, eggs, plantains, chicharron, and warm tortilla--yum! The pupusa was different, as it's made with a different cheese here which the waitress did warn us. Because of this, it wasn't our favorite but still good. Overall this spot is popular in East Boston, I would definitely check it out! Also if you tell them it's your birthday they will sing to you and you get to wear the special hat :) read more

Do not go here if you are BLACK!!!! They don't even want to serve you. We went there for drinks on 6/14/2026 and one very nice lady was going to serve us, then another lady told her not to serve us in Spanish unless we buy some of their food. I live locally, we have been buying their food and supporting them for years, since before the pandemic. Last night we had other food from somewhere else around the corner and just wanted to get two regular / virgin pina coladas to go. But because this particular woman doesn't like black people, she did not want to serve us the drinks. Not only was her customer service terrible, she was also trying to extort / milk us for more money. whole time the store was closing in like 30 minutes, and it would've been smart to allow your business to earn more money even if it's small, on drinks while you get ready to shut the grill down. Instead, they wanted us to order something, they would have to rush to make it, and then rush us to eat it, and then kick us out because it was closing soon. Soooooo disappointing. Actually Terrible service. read more

" Nightmare on Border Street ". I ordered the steak plate . My husband the chicken . I am sorry to say , food tasted reheated and not fresh . I was disappointed. The prices are not good at all for the quality and portion size . The waiter took forever to just bring us water , never mind servicing us . Yikes ! The vibe feels like you're in a busy supermarket not warm at all . Parking is limited as they have no garage. Plus it's located near the Tobin bridge so no side street parking . You might have to walk like 2 blocks or less for a safe parking spot . Just always read the signs before parking . read more

Delicious Mexican and Salvadorian food. Fast and friendly service. I got the Plato Mi Pueblito and my bf got the Colombian plate. I loved the shrimp, perfectly Salted. The steak had a few chewy bites, but a few really phenomenal bites too. I just wish it was more consistent. I stole some chicharron from my bf and it was really delicious. Some places over cook them but this was both crispy and moist. And while it seems simple, the rice was really nicely done too. Kind of stuck together, and not over-salted. We sat on the patio which was really lovely on a warm day. They have several ceiling fans in the covered patio, basic patio seating, and just the right amount of flowers to look polished. I would definitely eat here again read more

My friend finally took me here after promising such a long time ago. She told me there was a parking lot but by the time we got there on a Saturday morning, there was one very narrow spot. A kind staff member tried to suggest how to get in but then recommended the school parking lot just across the street. It was a kind gesture and greatly appreciated. For appetizers we shared Pupusas lorroco and revueltas as well as Chicharron con yucca frita. The pupusas were larger than usual and came out pretty quick. They tasted good but fell apart very easily. Chicharron was crispy with the fatty layer still slightly soft and easier to chew into than usual. I personally would have liked the yucca fried for longer so that I could see more of a separation between the layers but still yummy with the pink sauce, tomato sauce and cabbage salad. For entrees we shared Huevos con chorizo and Camorones Al ajillo. All the ingredients were fresh and tasty. I enjoyed the variety of textures, temperatures and colors. Shrimps we're plump and delicious. Overall, we had a great experience. Staff went above and beyond to continually check on us and complete our requests. Bathroom was clean and spacious. Highly recommend checking them out! read more

Mi Pueblito Restaurant is a Mexican/Guatemalan Restaurant located at 333 Border Street in East Boston, Ma. I have lived in East Boston for so many years and passed by this place hundreds of times and even after moving away from Eastie, I always wanted to come back and give this restaurant a try. I finally pulled the trigger on a weekday night after taking the children to the park in East Boston. The night we went, it was windy and slightly chilly. However, all patrons sat outdoors in the patio seating area instead of indoors. Although plenty of seating inside, nothing beats sitting outdoors. I ordered the shrimp and oyster ceviche while my husband ordered the beef tongue soft tacos. I also ordered the Harina de maiz / Corn flour with pork and cheese. I would order this again. I also highly recommend the margarita. Probably one of the best I have had. I'll have to try more dishes next time. Excellent customer service as well. read more

Not recommended, better check food before eating to avoid surprises, specially the chip tomato sauces...

Mi Pueblito is great. The food was wonderful and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was a nice evening we sat outside on their patio. I would happily go there again. read more

Good pupusas, grilled steak and chicken fajitas. Drinks are very good for the price. Excellent service every time. We've become regulars there. read more

The shrimp tacos were superb. The red sauce they have there added the perfect amount of picante to the tacos. Recommend corn tortillas always. You really get the most bang for your buck here as the 3 shrimps tacos also come w/ red beans and rice. So come with an empty stomach. Pina colada was decent but more on the watery side. Would recommend a frozen margarita instead. Very cute interior with the booths. read more

This is still my all time favorite: chilaquiles con pollo. Before and even after the pandemic, this dish has been consistent. I haven't been here in a long while. The tortillas taste like they are freshly fried and are crispy. The orangey colored salsa is a medium to hot heat. It makes me tear up every time, but I think that's what I love about this dish. I just crave it because it's not just the heat, it also packs a lot of flavor. The crema and cortija cheese compliment the salsa by balancing out the heat with some coolness. The chicken is grilled and seasoned well. The egg, white rice, and scallion are delicious too. If you do not handle heat well, do not order as is. Yes, the pupusas are also delicious here. Venture out to other dishes. That's my advice. This Rican approves! read more

My Mexican friend said the menu/pictures don't look too authentic. But I think the food is not bad. I got the huevos rancheros. It came with tortilla. The tortilla is ok. Everything else is pretty good. The price is good for the portion. They have a small parking lot and 2-hour street parking outside. read more

We arrive at BOS Logan Airport on a Thurs night and hadn't eaten a real meal all day. Found this spot in East Boston just a few miles away and so glad we came here! It was a small quaint restaurant with music playing, soccer games playing on 2 screens, and several tables were taken up by locals. We ordered 3 papusas, one of each flavor, chicken & beef quesadillas, and caldo De res (beef soup). Everything was delicious! The cheese on the papusas was AMAZING. The meat in the quesadillas was yummy. The beef in the soup was tender, flavorful and melt in your mouth. The soup had corn and yucca as well, which I thoroughly enjoyed. They have a small lot in back and street parking, and they take credit cards. read more

Mi Pueblito Restaurant - Suprime burrito where is the beef and chicken? Just rice and beans. - Mexican Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is a mom-and-pop, homey type of place. It has some of the better Latin American food in East Boston. It consists of one medium-sized room with the kitchen on one side near the entrance. The food here is very good and the prices are not bad either. There's a few parking spaces next to the restaurant, otherwise you can park on the street. It's somewhat of a walk from the blue line. I like getting the tacos with a margarita. Great for a casual lunch. read more

When we first moved to Eastie we would go to La Hacienda pretty regularly, but we haven't been there once since we discovered Mi Pueblito. Our favorite thing to get is the super fajita combo which is enough to feed 3+ people if you get extra tortillas. It's great as takeout, and even better on the patio with chips and salsa and a margarita or michelada. Everything is super flavorful and filling, and the portions are amazing so we always have leftovers. I really love this restaurant and it's quickly becoming one of our go-to spots. read more

Hidden FEES alert!!! Went there for hubby's birthday. The food was okay not the greatest but not the worst, Salad that came with the food on the plate was really old. It tasted like it has been left out for a long long time. Decent price tho for the food but it adds up. We were slap with something called the leverage fee which we had to ask what's it. We found out it was a fee for using credit card but there were no signs regarding extra fee for using credit card anywhere not on the menu or the restaurant. We had cash with us. We saw it after they charged our credit card. We were 3 adult and one toddler but was automatically charged with 18 percent tips which was fine. But on the final credit card signature portion slip asks for more tips. I had to remind my husband we paid tips already and no need to pay for more tips. So be AWARE! Will I go back, probably no. The tip and hidden fees are getting out of control. read more

Took my girlfriend to this fine establishment... it was top rated Salvadoreño food in the Área ..we started off with a Piña colada Virgen .. it was so fresh and delicious home made.. our server Maria was fast and friendly... We started with the pupusas revueltas ... they came out hot and fresh.. my first bite took me to heaven the pork and beans with the cheese created mind blowing taste.. after we go the ceviche we were disappointed that it did not come with the jumbo shrimp but it was still great .. The atmosphere of the restaurant was good they had great Music playlist ... including yandels 2002 classic te suelto el pelo ... this place was good we shall come again for the seafood soup.. the reason for 4 stars they had no soups read more

Nothing but love! Me and my family enjoy coming to this restaurant every single time. A true cultural feel and the staff are super nice and welcoming. The crispy shrimp tacos are #1!!! read more

Good food. Good staff. I recommend to anyone in the area to try them out! They exceeded my expectations. read more

I've probably eaten here more than 100 times now. The tacos are good about 85% of the time, but they are really inconsistent with the amount of meat they give or the quality of the pork. A few nights ago it was amazing. The tacos were loaded with meat and the pork has some burnt edges. Yummy! Overall though the tacos are very expensive for the amount of food you get ($2.50 each) - they are tiny. A man needs to order at least 6 and probably 4 for a woman. I only get tacos here. read more

The most authentic latin food in Boston. Margaritas, carne asada, popusas were all top knotch. I loved the family-style environment. Definitely hit Mi Pueblito is you are looking for that south-of-the-border feel! read more

DISGUSTING ABSOLUTELY REPULSIVE. There are better Mexican cuisine in Mass. Do not recommend, please go else where. The food and customer service was horrible. I also found hair in the fajitas plate and they didn't do anything about it for an extended period of time. They decided to say that the manager wasn't present and because of that we had to pay for something we didn't eat. The check and food took long for the amount of people already in. REPUGNANTE ABSOLUTAMENTE REPULSIVO. Hay mejor cocina mexicana en Mass. No lo recomiendo, por favor, vaya a otro lugar. La comida y el servicio al cliente es horribles. Encontré pelo en el plato de fajitas y no hicieron nada al respecto. Ella decidió decir que el gerente no está presente y por eso tuvimos que pagar por algo que no comí. El cheque y la comida tardaron mucho en la cantidad de personas que ya estaban adentro. read more

Place caught me off guard. Like the scene in The Hangover when you think Mike Tyson is being friendly with Alan over stealing his tiger, then straight uppercut knocks him out! I walked into a FESTIVE atmosphere! Vibrant, jovial, alive!! We were immediately seated, despite the busyness. Drinks were promptly taken. The menu is extensive...variety! They have PAPUSAS! Of course we ordered them. Authentic slaw, mouth watering au jus, and perfectly portioned mass cakes of goodness! The feast de resistance came shortly after. The torta was honestly not the absolute best I've ever tried, but it was fresh and delicious. Nothing to deduct. The camarones a la diabla were fresh and had a nice kick. Not too spicy, by any means. If you're looking for authentic cuisine, quick service, and a celebratory atmosphere...come here!! It's a spot that's hot! read more

Overprices and terrible. $14.99 Steak burrito where's the beef, $15.99 for steak quesadilla. With tax $35. Last time

They have two locations, one down maverick and one in orient heights. Both are equally delicious. Super flavorful food, great drinks, better prices, and the staff is very accommodating. read more

Way too expensive for what it is. Price is different every time you go. Online menu is about 50% less than what you are charged upon arrival to pick up your food. People there will.look at you like it's your fault when you mention it to them. Have fun. read more

Easily my favorite latin American place in East Boston (there's a bunch), however these guys stand out with a family welcome, huge portions of top quality homemade Mexican food and massive Margaritas. Love this place. read more

My boyfriend found this tag from an old rag? towel? in his chicken fajita plate. We had to stop eating and we're not sure if we'll return. It's just too bad because the food (especially the pupusas) was really good. Definitely not "smart. safe. sanitary." read more

1. Lunch order took a long time. 2. Order was wrong. 3. When I called later to complain, manager made it seem as if I was some type of scammer trying to get a free meal. I went there for lunch. Won't ever be going back. They did not seem as if they cared that they made a mistake with my order. read more

Horrible food and experience. I ordered take out and received old tasting and looking food. Very unhappy by the time I noticed what my food looked like. read more

Wow wow wow. Eastie really does have the best tacos and quesadillas (try and prove me wrong). We got quesadillas and tacos from here. The pico de gallo and the guac were so good. The chicken quesadillas had sautéed mushrooms in it which really added a new level of flavor. The shrimp and chicken tacos were also both really good. A little off on the corn tortilla/filling ratio but still enjoyed immensely! read more

Delicious and Fresh. Kind and inviting staff. Always hits the spot. Try any shrimp dish. Or the nachos.

This place has amazing food and amazing service to the guests. I go there often to eat lunch or dinner and each and every time my expectations are met. My favorite thing to order is the beef burrito. The pupusas are also really good and I've been told by many Salvadorean Friends that they are extremely authentic. The service is fast and attentive and I have had no issue as of this day. Parking is a bit hard to find occasionally, there is street parking, and on-site parking (limited) but after 5 p.m. you can park in the school parking lot nearby. Overall great place. read more
