Pueblito #2 Mexican Restaurant

Delicious food!! Amazing staff!! Beautiful, fun atmosphere!!! I love this place! And they just got new furniture! It's so pretty!!!!

The restaurant was clean. The waitress very friendly. The food was delicious! The price was good. What else can you ask for?

My family loves this place, staff is always very friendly and sweet, food is always wonderful! One of our favorite places to eat for sure!

Waitresses were constantly cleaning in between customers. Even wiping walls after someone left. I was very impressed how they kept track of diners, yet used every other moment to keeping it sanitized. Food was excellent as always. I ordered the Lunch Chimichanga for 1st time with Carnitas. Oh boy!!! Half covered with a white cheese sauce and other half with a red sauce. Just meat and cheese inside a crispy tortilla. Super!!

I have no clue why anyone could leave a bad review about this place. We have visited many if not all other Mexican restuants in town and this place is hands down the best in quality, taste ,and service. Food is very fresh and you can taste the difference. Service is fast and friendly . Also is reasonably priced. Last time i was there I was so stuffed I could barely move ! Won't be going anywhere else if I can help it

Colorful and clean. Nice atmosphere. Great taco salad with tons of shredded chicken. The (virgin) margaritas were delicious. We'll definitely be back!

Excellent food. The best carnitas in Chico.

Great restaurant! I greatly enjoyed the pollo loco, chicken with mushrooms and pineapple. My husband had the enchiladas which were delicious as well.

enchiladas yolandi 8.9 on the portnoy scale came with freshly made chips and very nice thick salsa i will be back 100%

Some of the tastiest carnitas in chico hands down! Great authentic Mexican food! You'll definitely leave a happy customer 🙂

I just came home from work and the partner had ordered Mexican food and waiting for me when I walked in the door was the Filete Veracruz meal. Never had it before DELICIOUS ! Healthy, seasoned just perfect! One word: YUM!!!

Always, quick professional service with a smile. I always stop by on a quick lunch break. They bring the food right out, hot & are ready to bring the bill to accommodate my time crunch! Thank you for your great service!🌻

First, the lady at the front and was our waitress was very sweet and friendly. White cheese dip was very good with the right amount of spice. The entrees were fresh and full of flavor. Will definitely return.

First time there. Really good food and a great margarita. It was 2 for 1 night on the margaritas. 👍 Great chips and salsa and a very friendly staff. Definitely going back. I had enchiladas and my daughter had steak fajitas.

Just enjoyed my first meal here. DELICIOUS! Actually went back the next day to take my husband. We continue to go back time and time again! Great food. Good prices.

This was our first time there. The prices were a little high, but the food was very good and plenty of it. Service was excellent and friendly. Restaurant was nice and clean. Highly recommend this place if you like authentic Mexican cuisine.

Awesome cheese dip! There's a chicken & shrimp dish here that is SOOO GOOD!

My mom brought home half a burrito and even though it was reheated this was the most amazing burrito I've ever had. This burrito was out of this world, I didnt know a burrito be both comically huge and heavenly.

Went with a few friends and it was an enjoyable experience. They were a little understaffed for how busy it was, but on a night before a holiday it was understandable. Even still we got our orders taken in a reasonable amount of time, drinks were refilled regularly, and the food was good. Would recommend if you are passing through and looking for a good place to eat.

Was not very busy but the server was acting like she was in the weeds. Not personable or friendly. Didn’t make us feel like we were valued. The food was great portioned and reasonably priced. Flautas, chile rellenos, and tacos were very tasty.

My husband and I come here every Monday. This is our absolute favorite Mexican food ever. Their cheese dip and salsa is the absolute best. All the servers are wonderful, attentive, and sweet. I always get the same meal, the choripollo shrimp, and it's perfect every time. My husband changes up his order and has loved everything he's ever ordered. As long as they're open, we'll be there every week.

Very good food. Quite authentic. I used to live in Tucson and I can tell you this is about as close to authentic Mexican food as you can get.

Great service good food! Been a few times and definitely will go back when we’re in Chico

First time here, food was good. My wife ordered an enchilada and the sauce tasted like it was a mole` sauce with a hint of cinnamon, which was a little off putting. Otherwise an awesome experience definitely going back.

This is a relaxed, smaller family-owned restaurant. I just tried the tostada with carne, which was really good. Everyone else in my party enjoyed their meals (enchiladas, chili releno, tacos). Service was excellent and food came piping hot. Will return when visiting Chico.

This was my first time eating here staff was friendly the place was nice and clean food was good.And good pricing I forgot to take pics good menu variety great! WILL BE RETURNING

I was on a mission for steak fajitas and a strawberry margarita. Mission accomplished. Great service, margarita hot the spot and the fajitas were good. A little dry but not bad. Quiet, relaxing atmosphere, Mexican themed with comfortable tables. Good date spot.

Food was surprisingly delicious 😋, price seemed bit expensive. Must try!

Upside: Food and service. Downside: Music Food was amazing! Had the carnitas burrito and soup. Burrito was huge, enough for two meals. Haven't been here in a while and the service was great! Our server was prompt and made sure we had everything we needed. I can't remember her name but she had red hair. The only downside is since I dined in I had to listen to christian music the entire time. I get during the Christmas season, but that's over and it honestly ruins the ambiance of a solid Mexican restaurant. Probably won't dine in again if that's what they continue to play.

This is one of my favorite places However lately 40 minto an hour before they close they won't let you come in restaurant or order take out. Never had this happen until recently. Super disappointed 😞

I will be honest. The burritos are good BUT ! Last time I ordered it, the burrito had no MEAT in it!!! LOL I got another burrito ("Fair"). Free as it supposed to be and because I asked. Yet I didn't eat the new burrito. I have seen too many movies and things happen in the kitchen when a client complain... LoL. Any ways, keep the good work up guys.

The waitress was doing the best she could do, but short staffed made for not the best experience. Food was good though. Chips and salsa awesome!

The main thing, the food. It was cool on delivery to our table. Food was luke warm, not hot out of the oven, which suggects to me an assembly line for food in the back simular to something like Chipotles, but unseen by the customer. About as basic as can be also, chicken meat did not seem seasoned, or at least mild, therefore not a bad rating here, but a comment.

Was cool and clean, but the food needs help. Tacos are decent but their burritos are not so great. Service was slow to get refills.

Service was pretty good, not great. Food was same. Not impressed and my family will not be coming back. I go to somewhat authentic Mexican restaurants all the time, but this one lacked some of everything unfortunately, it replaced an old Mexican Restaurant that u wish was still operating. Taco truck is way better. Place looks real nice, and clean, but I'm not impressed with everything else.

NA to rate experience, since when I attempted to go was traveling through Chico with wife and dog. But they do not allow dogs. So we did not go in. Seems like a good word of mouth place.

I've heard of Mexican food described as peasant comfort food. So $55 for two plates and one drink seemed a lot. $22 seemed excessive for the "Burritos Roqueta," two small rolled flour tortillas filled with pork (currently selling for $1.59 a pound), and some cheese sauce. What was in the dish did not seem like carnitas to me, no crispy brownness no cumin, no cinnamon, no garlic, no spices no orange. This was like steamed Birria or something, just pulled pork, which was good enough if it were described like that. Also, everybody's dishes seemed to be plated in a way that the beans and rice were spread out cartoonishly large to look like more food. The refried beans were thin and soupy tasting, like they had been thinned out with a little water. The signature white queso cheese sauce that I had read so many good reviews about was used very sparingly on my plate, and what was the sauce had separated into water and a skin of weird curd. Atmosphere was fun, very warm and cozy space. Waitstaff were super friendly and helpful. The owner responds apologetically to each of the negative reviews here and invites people for compensation, but the real fix would be to lower the prices a bit and stop saying "I'm sorry."

The service has gone downhill they overcharged us and the food was greasy and the service was not professional. The tea I ordered had stuff in it and because I felt not comfortable about drinking it and asked to have it taken off the order the waitress was rude and said no she doesn't have that authority. But you could hear them laughing in the kitchen. I will not come back here in the future. I do not recommend this place 😔

This was absolutely the worst food I have ever had. The beans tasted like lard, the rice tasted disgusting and there was a white cheese sauce as if that’s supposed to make up for the nasty tasting food. Really sorry to leave this kind of review but there needs to be improvement here.

Not only is it in poor taste, but it is so unprofessional how you attack each person that gives you a negative review. It just reinforces to the public that these reviews are indeed true. Rule of thumb 99% of the time in a professional, successful, business: Rule 1: The customer is always right. Rule 2: If the customer is wrong, see rule 1.

Good food, bad service. Arrived 10 minutes prior to posted closing and tried to order take out, but was told that they were “closed” and wouldn’t take my order.
