Accidentally stumbled upon this place on a trip to Chico. I am so glad I did. What a little gem. Indoor decor was awesome. Great artwork. Loved the chairs. Cozy but welcoming. Staff was on point. Very kind and made sure we were taken care of. The chips and salsa were great. Food was delicious. Price was great. Again, a hidden little gem. Can not wait to revisit. read more

Pueblito Mexican Grill - Great indoor seats - Mexican Near Me - Durham, California

We got a catering order from Pueblito last weekend. Taco bar for 14. Pickup was easy and food was delicious. Portions were generous and prices were reasonable. Thank you! read more

I craved 3 things on Saturday and the Molcajete and a Mangonada were two that this resty does exceptionally well. Buried in a queso fundido is a pork chop, steak and chicken cut and shrimp accompanied with a side plate of rice and beans plate (not shown) and choice of tortillas. It's Heaven. Not my first time here but this place is ready to serve, we came at opening and they pulled off the hardest plate with ease, service is quick, flexible and attentive. The Mangonada, large please, is peak goodness. We sat inside for the great AC and vibrant art. You'll take food home, perhaps the pork chop and 1/2 that huge jalapeño. And my third wish was a nap :) And And I got a shirt! read more

Food and service were fantastic! Queso fundido to start. Combinations were delish! Cold beer. Cute patio. We will be back to try margaritas! read more

100 stars! We got the molcajete that came with chicken shrimp pork and sweet ham with rice beans creams and guacamole. It was to die for. This place is so legit, and not to mention peaceful. Lovely art on the booths and chairs. Clean. The staff is also incredibly sweet and welcoming. I can't wait to eat here again! read more

My CRISPY taco meal. I opened as soon as I got home because I was starving! I live less than 3 miles away.. Also ordered a wet burrito and it was dry... I didn't realize a wet burrito could be dry burrito. The order of chips and salsa was good. :-/ read more

Pueblito Mexican Grill - CRUNCHY taco! - Mexican Near Me - Durham, California

We've really been striking out lately when we drove through Durham on the way home. We saw this place and it looked interesting. The place is clean, the staff is friendly, its decorated super cool, and the food is excellent. The green sauce they have here is off the hook good. We got some extra for some home enjoyment. We are definitely going back soon read more

Been here multiple times and it's always been worth it! Great food friendly staff definitely a great place to eat!

So disappointed with our bland meal here. We won't be back! We had cheese enchiladas and shredded beef tacos, and they were both flavorless. Too pricey for food that doesn't measure up, especially when there are many other great Mexican grills around. read more

The service was fast. Hostess let us pick where to sit and immediately got asked our drink choices and got chips and salsa, and a really big size of chips! We ordered and food came out in about 6 minutes. Very impressed! Prices were par and the food was great. I got the huevos con chorizo and he got the fajita lunch. Flavor was so good! Didn't have to add any spices or sauces. Definitely would go back! The expedition of everything made it a nice in and out stop!! read more

I was so excited to try this place since I had heard great reviews on both the Foodies of Chico Facebook page and on Yelp-- but what the heck?? I don't know if I had high hopes because of what I heard but damn, it was not impressive at all. My boyfriend and I shared the chicken nachos and shrimp fajita plate. The nachos were basic AF and there was some type of gross cream on it that just sat and made the bottom watery (we got the sour cream on the side so no, it was not melted sour cream). The chicken tasted like tuna to me, and there was not one tasty thing about it. We had MAYBE 3 nachos each and were over it. The shrimp fajitas were a tad bit better, but really just the actual fajita skillet that had the grilled onions, peppers, and the shrimp. I think, to be honest, the best part of the meal was the salsa that they give you with the chips. Their beans and rice were dry and meh. I'm super sad because I loveeeeee Mexican food and was super stoked to try this place, but I probably won't ever go back. read more

Pueblito Mexican Grill - Shrimp fajitas and chicken nachos. - Mexican Near Me - Durham, California

Good food. I love their Special Nachos. Wait people are friendly and courteous. Food is served promptly. Comfortable seating.

I was sober for 11 years before I stepped foot into this restaurant. The waiter mistakingly placed a pitcher of blackberry margarita on my table, and following a regretful bout with my ex wife Kelly I couldn't help myself but to drink the entire pitcher. Later in the night, drunken and ashamed, they actually had the nerve to ask ME to pay for it. Tonight is the third night I've spent alone in this motel room, and one of the last nights I think I have left before my credit card declines. Kelly I miss you. Please come back. Franz jr. I hope you know how much your father loves you. read more

Pueblito Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Durham, California

Salsa a mediocre, somewhat disappointing serving for such well regarded establishment. Certainly in the lower tier of the well loved quality Salsas. 2 Stars. Chips plain average. 2 Stars. Lunch menu, Chili Relleno and Crunchy Taco an uneventful fast lunch serving. Beans salty, the tiny presence of guacamole near frozen, Rice a little better. Dull and uninspiring offering. 3 Stars. House Carnitas, boasting of being home made, long ways for upper placement. Chewy, while also managing to be dried, back to Carnitas 101. At best 3 Stars. Soda bottle ($3.50) water drinkable. Place looked colorful, service adequate. Someone extremely kind and nice suggested this place, a little hard to tell her how mediocre everything was. Total with gratuity way past $60. By reading the reviews of this place, expectations were met by reality, and let's just say it did not pan out. So this place merits 4.3 Stars on average? I respectfully disagree. 3 Stars. read more

Food was gas. Food came so quickly. Tacos were great and the service was nice. Ambiance was pumping

We finally found a restaurant with great Mexican food! server took orders and brought drinks quickly, the food was hot and green sauce was very flavorful. casual and fun decor! read more

I love Pueblitos finally got a good restaurant in Durham. Food is great, service is fast and has great ambiance--very fun decor inside.

Their food is very good! They are always busy around lunchtime, and it's hard to find a place to park, so I recommend going earlier if you can. The dining room is usually noisy, but comfortable. read more

Absolutely loved this restaurant. They have plenty of outdoor seating and a small indoor area that was comfortable. Service was very good, servers were efficient & friendly. I had a chicken tostada & a cheese enchilada along with a small guacamole. Veggies on my tostada were fresh and the chicken was tasty. I'm very picky about the cheese & sauce on my enchiladas and can say theirs did not disappoint. My friend ordered quesadillas and said they were delicious. There was a nice little salad along side the quesadilla that had a good scoop of guacamole. Definitely going back when I'm in the area. read more

We love going there for their lunch menu. Good food at a very fair price. The Chili Rellenos are particularly good and the service is always excellent. The outdoor patio is a nice addition. read more

Good service by our server Vicky and others. Nice free thin, crisp, fresh tasting chips brought right away to our table and came with salsa that was good (although for my taste buds could have used a little bit less salt). Cheese Chili Relleno was really awesome. Actually one of the best Chili Rellenos I've ever enjoyed in my 72 years on this planet and I'll definitely will be coming back for many more of them assuming they're consist. Delicious: $3.75 Chicken Tostada was flavorless however as I see it to make up for that (I suppose I ought to have put some of their salsa on it) it had a major amount of shredded chicken on it. $3.00 I'll come back for that as well. Side order of Rice was ok, a bit dry or maybe slightly tired/old $2.50 That could just be a one time thing. Time will tell and so come check the rice out for yourself or wait for my review after I come back. :-) :-) Side order of Beans was good $2.50 If you order both a side order of rice and beans = $3.50 They have a decent selection of bottled beers including my Mexican favorite Negra Modelo at $3.75 which includes a lime and in a refrigerated heavy mug if you like. read more

Pueblito Mexican Grill - Pueblitos in Durham - Mexican Near Me - Durham, California

Pueblito Mexican Grill has some of the best & truly authentic mexican food in the Durham /Chico area! The decor inside is a work of art with amazing paintings on the tables and wood-carved chairs. Super bright and colorful !! I've never seen such unique furniture, especially in a restaurant. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. We ordered the Chile Colorado dinner, the Chicken Taco Salad and the 2 Chile Rellano dinner. Yummy! The service was friendly and the food arrived quick. They have take-out as well. We will definitely be coming back !! read more

We drove from out of town just to try this place and it was pretty darn good. The chips were nice and fresh the beer was nice and cold. I got the carnitas which were a bit greasy but still really good, my daughter got the bean and cheese burrito and it was so cheese and good. The boyfriend ordered the fajitas and the meat was pretty tender and came with a separate plate of rice and beans. The service was on point, checked in when needed and let us enjoy our meal the rest of the time. Well worth the drive, just wish we lived closer. read more

Most authentic food since we left Cozumel. Everyone is very nice. The (Durham ) has Handcrafted tables and chairs to add to authenticity. Always clean. Food is fresh. Margaritas are awesome! read more

Have driven by this place many times always saying I need to eat here one day. Well that day came yesterday. The place is kinda small inside, but there is plenty of parking in the back. The inside was decorated with really nice colorful artwork. Food was really delicious. I had the carnitas Dinner plate that came with rice and beans. The carnitas were on point. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and good flavor. Definitely recommend. My wife ordered the one taco, one enchilada combination plate. She had me trybthe enchilada sauce which actually was super good. Very flavorful. Overall both orders were really good. Definitely come back again. I have to give a 4 star for now because it was the first time and if the food is delicious the second time, will definitely guve a 5 star. Great place. read more

I wanted so badly to love this place. I heard a lot about this place, even from a friend. The servers were wonderful and friendly. The place was cute and clean. But the food was not worth the price we paid. The Quesadilla was soggy with wet chicken so my son wouldn't eat his 10. quesadilla. I ordered the Chile rellano nothing about it was good, the pepper wasn't cooked, there was no egg white on the outside, it was a almost raw pepper, stuffed with cheese and cheese sprinkled on top, and it was sitting in oil, not the typical flavorful tomato based sauce. I was shocked to say the least. And my husband's burrito was nearly $14 and it was bland and not great. We also ordered crispy chicken taco it was a pre made shell with wet chicken and cheese that's it and it was no longer crispy. And I feel awful for 2 star review, but trying to be objective. read more

Delicious food and lots of it. Great and speedy service. The ambiance is also charming.

Excellent service from our server vicky Very attentive and curious also asked if they could make chilaquiles which was not on the menu and they came through would definitely comeback read more

This is by far the best restaurant with consistently great food in the North state. I have tried almost all of the Mexican restaurants and NONE come close to Pueblito's. I only wish they would open a restaurant in Chico but I have gotten used to the pleasant drive to Durham. My mouth waters all the way. Service is also great. read more

The food was Delicious and the service was very good, with friendly employees. The decorations were on point for a Mexican restaurant

The best Mexican food in Butte County--maybe in all of California. The owners are clearly more than involved, they are part of the staff. Service is excellent and food is absolutely incredible. I've lived in San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles before settling in Chico. Never, ever had Mexican food like this. Even in sleepy Durham, this place is packed seven days a week. On one occasion, we arrived 30 minutes before closing and there was a wait and the pace was packed. Can't say enough about Pueblito. This is a real find and worth the extra trip to Durham. Anything negative anyone says is clearly coming from a person that should stick to Taco Bell. read more

Good chips and salsa. Everything we have had has been good. We really like the taqueria, good size meal.

Great Mexican food in a nice atmosphere. Their lunch specials are very reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. I enjoy eating there often. You will be pleased with the selection and quality of the food. read more

Great tasting food. I had the cheese enchilada and it was delicious. I also liked their salsa. The place is cute and the service was good. My friend got the chicken burrito supreme and said it had a great flavor scheme but the chicken was a bit overdone. We'll definitely go back! read more

It was ok...... The only reason they have so many good reviews is because there the ONLY restaurant in town. No complaints. Staff was real friendly. read more

A little spendy but lunch specials are decent service. Take out portions were not as large as in house portions. Taco Truck across the street is good. read more
