Taqueria Mi Pueblo III: Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Novato, CA

I had to drop off some school supplies for Larry Mondello at the Grant Avenue School, and didn't have a lot of time so I gave them to Mrs. Rayburn there in the office, and went Lickity Split straight to the Mi Pueblo Taqueria! I'll be hooking up with this Fred Rutherford dude to give him some tax forms I've filled out for my CPA, Ward Cleaver of the firm Wallace Beaver & Associates. Fred recommended Mi Pueblo Taqueria, and says they have the best Mexican food in Novato...And, you know what, ..he was right, my tacos were Amazing! 5

Very good authentic food. The taco shell was great, though thin enough to crack and drop stuff after biting it. The carnitas in the enchilada were not dry and had lots of flavor. Prices were on the low side of average for a restaurant of this type, and service was good even though they were busy.

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. I'd come back.

f you've never been there, you need to fix that! This is a great family owned chain of restaurants and the downtown location is great as it has a nice outdoor seating area. Interesting fact, it used to be a Taco Bell back in the day. Anyhoo, back to the food. DELICIOUS! The rice and beans actually have flavor (which is a great barometer of how good a mexican place is) and not bland or too watery on the beans. My family loves the lengua and chimichanga's. I'm more of a taco person myself but also love their burrito size/proportion. It's not too much, not too little. I LOVE their Al Pastor and Carne Asada. Both are flavorful and cooked well. Its easy to burn the Pastor as it often has a sweetness to it. Never happens here. In closing, go check it out. The weather usually always cooperates here in the Northbay and you can get a slice of the Downtown Novato Vibe. If you have kids, take them to the bookstore next door afterwards and get them a book. It's a great spot, it'll benefit the kids as well as the local economy ;-P

I was there with 11 other people and we all got our food within about 10 minutes of ordering which was surprising and I was expecting it to effect the food quality but it just might be the best Mexican food I have ever had and the workers were super kind and the best lemonade I’ve ever had as well, was maybe a tiny bit too sweet but that’s fine I’d highly recommend it, it’s so worth the money

Traveling with our doggo on 101 and needed a pit stop that we could bring our pup. Food was great, service attentive. Overall excellent experience. Vegie burrito was great using like a frozen broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, zucchini mix, but they grilled them first which really brought out more flavor, not watery at all. Really enjoyed it. Hubby loved the carnitas in the Tostada Mas, very filling. My sister had the cheese enchilada plate, good but would have been even better if the tortillas were grilled or enchiladas were baked to get that desirable crispy edge.

I love the atmosphere at Mi Pueblo, especially out on the patio. I just ordered DoorDash from Mi Pueblo for the first time and not only did it get here is 25 minutes but it was quite literally the best loaded quesadilla I’ve ever had. Whatever you’re doing, keep it up.

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 that's a great sign.
