We ordered the tacos, the quesadilla and the burrito and I can honestly say they were all fresh and flavourful, with just the perfect amount of spices. Being from Los Angeles, I am used to good Mexican food, and this was better than any Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. We also had the flan, which was done just perfectly. Not too sweet and perfectly firm and moist. If you want authentic Mexican food in Helsinki, look no further than Casa Chipotle.

Adventurous foodies will apppreciate the fresh guacamole, Mexican and Latin American flavors, Caribbean & Cuban rums, and Mexican Mezcals. They had me at Churros con Chocolate. We stopped in on a whim around 5pm on Saturday night and while there were no tables available without a previous reservation, there were plenty of seats open at the bar. We snuggled into the bar spots and went for a ride on the tasting menu. This far north of the equator I wasn't expecting to get perfectly ripe and freshly made guacamole, but they made it happen with great flavor! If you're up for a 2-3hour experience, and everyone can agree to have the tasting menu, go for it- it will be a great introduction to the menu! I didn't realize salt could become foam until it was floating on top of my straight-up margarita, but it was far better than whatever that foam is that floats at the edge of the sea. This is as fresh as Mexican good gets outside of Mexico or the Americas- excellente!

I told my husband to see if the door was open to this restaurant, Pueblo, and it was! They were super close to closing and were gracious enough to let us order take away. Both gentlemen were super friendly and we had a great conversation with them while we waited. They had jarritos (Mexican drink) which are always a win, and we ordered tacos. The shrimp was seasoned to perfection- and the carnitas had a tiny bit of spice that really elevated the flavor. The tortillas are made fresh in house and the guacamole was also super fresh. TLDR: you should come try it out! I highly recommend!

The menu includes enough for a vegetarian to be fed, and the corn tortillas and salsas are made fresh daily. They also have a well stocked bar and a nice cocktail menu to match. My family stopped in for lunch one quiet afternoon. We all ordered tacos, and were so glad to see that an order of at least three tacos included sides of rice and beans. The rice was a-ok, but the beans were delicious and had us all asking for the final few bites. There honestly wasn't a bad bite for any of us. I hadn't expected to find tasty Mexican food in Finland, but Helsinki is filled with an amazing array of cultures and cuisines. Pueblo was just the beginning of a wonderful few days of adventure, and we could not have picked a better place to start if we'd tried. I highly recommend the.

Folks, that is over an hour. 3 (THREE) people were hanging out just gossiping. One guy turns to me, says just one word: "closed".

Being a close option to the hotels own service, it kind of annoys me when dropping by the Iguana late at night when other restaurants near by are closed. The mexican style pizzaria is nothing more than a drop inn place for fast beers and fast food. The best choice on the menu is pizza and the mexican starters are most likely made from prefabricated and mass-produced frozen stuff. The highlight is what seems to be a homemade guacamole... Poor selection of beer and the pay at the counter and pick up your own stuff makes this place nothing more than a service less mexican style sports bar. And there are better sports-bar choices close by.
