Mi Pueblo Taqueria - Novato (CA)

5 /5 Karen Wiebe: First time there. We sat on the patio and they set up some nice heaters for us, made it toasty and warm. The service was great and the food portions enormous. Id come back.

3 /5 зvзlіηα .:: My aunt wanted Mexican food on New Years Day. They were one of few restaurants that were opened that day. Our food was packed up in an open box that I had ordered online about an hour prior. I had to go back in the restaurant after putting the box in my car because they forgot my horchata so then I had to wait for that. The food was presented gorgeously however what I ordered had absolutely no flavor. I was impressed by their expansive salsa bar and now I know why they have so many condiments: to add to your food so it has flavor. My aunt did not say whether she enjoyed her food or not so I cant speak for her but my shrimp fajitas and churros were completely flavorless. The only thing I tasted on my fajitas were the salsa, minced white onions, and cilantro that I got from the salsa bar. The chocolate sauce that came with the churros was Hersheys Chocolate Syrup. The hotchata tasted just fine. I dont understand how this happened; how does this happen? My shrimp was a little overcooked but it was smothered in bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and a red sauce. Flavorless. My refried beans were exactly how I like, soupy with melted cheese. Flavorless. This was my first time at this location and my last.

5 /5 Melissa Keller: We were visiting for a night in Novato and looking for a place for dinner. A small and cozy location. The food was delicious, and portions were huge. The service was welcoming and fast. I loved their salsa, it was perfectly spicy. They were busy but thats a great sign.

1 /5 Eduar Vazquez: The food is good; however, when we arrived and were seated by the waiter, we had to wait a long time for the menus. Meanwhile, the people who arrived after us were attended first and even took their order. We sat for ten minutes without receiving attention. The waiter seemed to pay more attention to others, and I think it was only because we are Latinos and the other customers were white. I was taking my mom for her birthday and planned to spend at least $100. The place wasnt full.

4 /5 Afshin Afshar-Ghasemlou: Taqueria Mi Pueblo III: A Delicious and Authentic For over eight years, Taqueria Mi Pueblo III has been my go-to spot for authentic Mexican cuisine. What I love about this restaurant is its dedication to traditional flavors, with many dishes staying true to their Mexican roots and avoiding the typical Mexican-American fusion style. This is especially true for their unique soups and specials. On our recent visit, we tried the Albondigas (Mexican Meatball Soup). While I wouldnt normally order meatball soup, this version was surprisingly delicious! The hearty broth and flavorful meatballs were incredibly satisfying. My absolute favorite dish at Taqueria Mi Pueblo III is the Molcajete, unfortunately, they were out of it on our visit. For those unfamiliar, a Molcajete is a traditional Mexican mortar and pestle made from volcanic rock. Its used to grind various ingredients like chilies, garlic, and tomatoes, creating rich flavors that enhance the dish. The Molcajete dish itself is a hearty and flavorful creation featuring a variety of ingredients like beef, pork, chicken, chorizo, vegetables, and a blend of spices. Its typically served sizzling in the Molcajete, allowing you to mix the ingredients to your liking. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. While we usually enjoy the outdoor seating, it was too cold on this occasion. The indoor area, though small, is comfortable, and the service is fantastic. Our server was incredibly friendly, patiently answering our questions and ensuring our special requests were met. If youre looking for an authentic and delicious Mexican dining experience, Taqueria Mi Pueblo III is a must-try. You wont be disappointed!
