We simply had a great evening. Our server, Cristian, was friendly and attentive and helpful in making selections. I had the shrimp tacos and my husband, the fish tacos. The shrimp were some of the best I've had anywhere. Fresh, tasty, and the salsa fresh and tasty as well. The housemate guacamole was excellent. We were on the road going north and just happened to stop by since it was near our hotel. We would make the effort to stay over here again.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

“When I first had their chicken flautas a year ago I knew I had to have them again” Mi Pueblo is located in the growing town of Statesville, NC. There is an emerging Latino population in this area and with it has come a beautiful array of flavors and fragrances that fill plates and blues stomachs. On a Sunday afternoon about 2 pm there was still a good amount of room for individuals and families. The restaurant is thematically curated, highlighting the pleasantries of masonry and the delicacies of framed artwork. I did feel an anchoring resemblance of Mexican heritage as I walked through the venue. The staff are friendly and attentive, the restroom was clean and a great sound immersive to get a break from talking and instead listen to the sonics of cumbia, reggaeton, bachata, y corridos. Sitting near or adjacent to the bar will grant you access to a couple of big screens that play the “big game” for the day. There is descent but not overwhelming sound from the tvs so you can at least catch audio glimpses of What the most recent call was. The food. The chips were warm, unsalted, and very crunchy. The two salsa options were pretty gif in their descriptors—being mild and spicy. I’m sure if you’re looking for a greater kick you could ask and probably get what you’re looking for. The flautas were well portioned, well seasoned, a great temperature, and the perfect texture of semi crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside. The chicken tasted marinated. The cheese was generously applied. I was given the options of ranch and honey mustard sauces, tried them both (and appreciated them both) but they honestly weren’t even necessary. The queso that comes with them is a bit of a small portion, especially if the flautas are designed as an appetizer to share, but it packs a punch in flavor and is full bodied in taste. They only had one hot tea option, but it was a great flavor and high quality.

Angel was our server. He was excellent. I had the Sopes, which were phenomenal. My friend had the steak fajita, which was huge and also so delicious! Wonderful atmosphere. I would highly recommend.
