“Our birthday party of 9 was an amazing evening with our wonderful server,Carlos. Everybody loved all their entrees and I especially loved my enchilada with mole sauce. Thank you to the female owner who came over to our table and informed me she would prepare anything I wanted with the special”mole”(pronounced mollay)sauce. Wonderful and happy hour prices were the best👏🏻👍🏻🍹“

“Really good skinny margaritas!“

“We’ve been dining at Mi Pueblo Venice for eighteen years. Tonight’s experience surpassed every experience previously, even though we’ve always really enjoyed it. Starting with the incredibly festive decor of the Brickyard Plaza, overflowing into the restaurant, it was visually stunning. Upon our arrival we were told an hour wait at the most. We waited only twenty minutes for a table for five, and I very much appreciated the liberal wait time estimate. Had we been told twenty minute wait and waited thirty, we’d have been disappointed. Service was phenomenal: menu options were great, margaritas delicious, food runner got everyone’s dish to the correct person, and…WHO IS IN THE KITCHEN?!? 😮👏🏼 Well done!! Absolutely delicious, the entire party enjoyed their meals. Thank you, thank you. Looking forward to the next visit soon! Happy New Year, Mi Pueblo crew!! 🎉“

“5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a great time here! The Mexican food was absolutely delicious, flavorful, fresh, and authentic. The live mariachi band really brought the place to life. We loved listening to the music while enjoying our meal. It made the whole experience so much fun and memorable. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Total Mexican vibe!! The food is as fabulous as anything you can get from a sidewalk vendor in Mexico. We have been looking for good Mexican food in Sarasota for over 4 months and I had finally decided that there is no good Mexican food here till I came across this place tonight. Definitely recommend and worth whatever drive you have in order to get there! Can’t say enough good about the food! Totally amazing.“

“Found this restaurant by accident. It was really good. Mike and Quin are a dynamic duo. They made our experience so much fun.“

“I went to the location on the NE corner of Clark and Beneva. I've had the lengua and steak tacos 4 times now and can't stop coming back! The burrito...huge! Nice family run biz!“

“Rigo Taco Ricos is what happens when a food truck marries a gas station and their child grows up to become a flavor god.

This burrito? Life-changing. I’m not being dramatic — every bite felt like a warm hug from someone who knows how to season meat. The rice was fluffy perfection, the grilled meat had that smoky, just-charred-enough edge, and the cheese melted into the kind of creamy happiness that usually only happens in dreams. The tortilla? Griddled with love. I don’t know what Rigo’s doing back there, but I would 100% attend a TED Talk on it.

And the salsas? The green one flirted with me. The red one slapped me and called me “mijo.” Both were perfect.

Even the chips were next-level — crunchy, golden, and clearly not an afterthought. I would trust these chips with my secrets.

I’ve eaten in fancy restaurants that charged me $38 for a dish with the word “foam” in it — and I’d STILL choose this burrito 10 times out of 10.

So yeah, if you’re anywhere within a tank of gas from this place, go. Go now. Skip your meeting. Fake a flat tire. Tell your boss you’re chasing greatness — because you are.“

“We had the most delicious breakfast there today. Terrific, helpful server. Immaculately clean, wonderful menu choices. We'll be regulars!“

“Abosulety delicious! This is definitely the best we have tried since we moved to Bradenton. we WILL be back!!“

“Loved The Hub! Best food and margaritas! And talk about service! Thank you, Tim, our new buddy from “up north” -you were a pleasure!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This restaurant not only serves the best food in Sarasota but the owner and staff are friend, efficient and helpful! It’s our go to place every time we come to Sarasota!“

“Quality of food. Life long member of the owners from Adrian Michigan. I don’t understand when I read comments as for “not authentic Mexican ingredients”. Does the sign not say “Tex-Mex”? In Adrian Michigan we have a large migrant population that prefers other Mexican restaurants over the grasshopper. Huge reason is that the taste buds of visiting Mexicans are used to hot, very hot. As I live here in Mexico I cannot sample any hot sauce because it’s too hot. So I bring my own hot sauce with me when I eat out. I don’t consider the menu as Tex Mex. The family founders brought recipes from Mexico but again, had to tone down the spicy seasoning for the northerners. HOWEVER, if you ask for the extra hot seasoning, they will make you a dishes that will set your mouth on fire upon request. I can’t explain the next topic, but that no one has complained but their menu prices that seem to never increase. As for the cheese dipping sauce? I haven’t been to the Sarasota location. But it’s a wise-tail in Adrian that the cook staff has to sign NDA’s just to know the recipe. Everyone has tried to replicate it but no one has ever gotten it correct. Linda/co-owner has been a lifelong full-time employee that worked every day beside her now ex husband that runs and operates the original Adrian Michigan establishment where his parents created the restaurant. She only hires the best staff and the staff are lifelong dedicated employees. In Adrian, no one visits for the decorations or environment because it’s nothing close to impressive, they visit for the food and service and the staff that brings you refills before knowing that you need one.“

“Lovely people, amazing food!“

“El mejor restaurante de esta área, servicio al cliente y comida excelente. los mejores quesa birria 😋“

“The best Carnitas Burrito I've ever had! The pork had a smokey, roasted flavor and the tortilla was thin, flour, lard and warmed. Delish! Bring your Spanish, not much English is spoken = )“

“Found this place when searching for the best tacos. They did not disappoint! The tacos and pupusas were amazing! 5 out of 5 stars.“

“The best Tacos in Sarasota County!“

“Crepes are amazing!!! Lobster and Shrimp!“

“Really fresh and really tasty. Great stop if you're in the area.“

“First time eating here! Amazing food and great waitress. The portions are great. The margaritas are great.“

“We had fish tacos and guacamole/chips, white wine and a beer. Very fresh and tasty. Order your tacos and drinks at the counter and when your pager goes off, pick up your plates at the window. Easy. It wasn't busy and I enjoyed a relaxed visit with my lunch companion.“

“I tried this last night and by far the best food! i had the Quesabirria. Absolutely delicious. the meat melts in your mouth.“

“Food was great the store whatsoever understaffed. I felt bad for the sales, Clark.“

“Super friendly staff, food tasted fresh and delicious. The guy with the colorful hair works super speedy and cleans his workingplace all the time, also he was super friendly- if you read this: thank you man we apprecite this! :) And also, I wanna bath in that cheese dipping sauce!“

“The location was very clean and well stocked. Food was prepared well and as ordered (one order has many mods). Ingredients tasted fresh. Team members friendly and helpful. There was a young man working the front counter and I didn't believe he stopped cleaning and organizing the entire time we were there. It seems like they actually care about the restaurant. Very nice!“
