Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant

I stopped into this little out-of-the-way Mexican spot on Little Creek Road before heading into the thrift store. It is a tiny place, only four booths and a counter, but very clean with a simple, pleasant atmosphere. There was just one other family dining. The gentleman working the counter was extremely polite and addressed me as “Señora,” which I appreciated. I ordered the shrimp salad, which was listed at 12.99, and a canned Brisk tea (a bit unusual in the South). I wasn’t offered chips and salsa, which surprised me, but I didn’t mind too much. I asked about black beans and learned they only had refried. He explained them to me as if I might not have had them before, then kindly offered to bring me a taste. The salad itself was very fresh and came with avocado, lettuce, tomato, radish,

Steak Fajitas this time in. Flavor was on point and they came out sizzling hot! Refried beans are by far are the best I've had yet in the Tidewater area, as well, the woman working was so nice. The red sauce packs some heat alright!! Wepa!! I aim to try the entire menu!

Ok where to start..ill start by talking about the authenticity. I grew up in Mexico city and look for specific flavors whenever tasting new Mexican restaurants. This place has it. The food is amazing and delicious. The staff is very warm and friendly. In my first visit I had the huaraches which were a perfect size (one is enough). This time around I had the chilaquiles with carne. Again the sauce is perfect. I can not recommend this place enough.

Mi Pueblo is authentic and very good. Be ready for a small staff and no public restrooms. That said, this is one of my top three Mexican restaurants in southeast Virginia.

I am from Mexico city and I have to say, after living in Norfolk for 5 years I have not tried pastor tacos that taste like the real deal until now, thanks to Mi Pueblo! The pozole was delicious too.
