Experience the heart of Northern Mexican cuisine right in Sarasota, Venice, and Bradenton at Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant. For over 25 years, this family-owned establishment has been serving up award-winning flavors and creating a vibrant atmosphere that transports you straight to Mexico. From their cherished family recipes to their celebrated margaritas, Mi Pueblo is more than just a restaurant; it’s a taste of “My Hometown” – Mi Pueblo.
Founded in 1999 by two cousins with roots deep in the ranchos of Chihuahua, Mexico, Mi Pueblo is a testament to tradition and entrepreneurial spirit. Bonifacio Caro and Hugo Nunez brought their Abuela’s treasured recipes from their childhood summers working on their grandfather’s ranches, combining these authentic flavors with their extensive restaurant experience. Their vision was simple: to share the genuine taste of Northern Mexican cuisine with their community, creating a welcoming space that felt like home. This commitment to heritage is why they named it “Mi Pueblo,” which translates to “My Hometown,” reflecting their desire to share their cultural roots with every guest.
Mi Pueblo has become a beloved local fixture, expanding to three convenient locations near popular destinations such as Siesta Key, Venice Beach, and University Town Center (UTC). Throughout their remarkable 25-year journey, they have consistently been recognized as a top dining destination by local publications across Sarasota, Venice, and Bradenton. Accolades like “Best Margarita,” “Best Taco,” and “Best Mexican Restaurant” are a testament to their dedication to quality and authentic taste. Celebrating its silver anniversary this December, Mi Pueblo proudly holds the title of the Oldest Mexican Restaurant in Sarasota, a legacy built on family values and a passion for sharing their culinary heritage.
Whether you’re looking for a lively dinner in their beautifully decorated dining rooms, planning a special occasion in their private banquet facilities, or seeking exceptional catering for your next event, Mi Pueblo is ready to make every gathering a true fiesta. They warmly invite both Sarasota locals and visitors to become part of the Mi Pueblo family, indulge in their authentic Mexican dishes, explore their impressive tequila selection, and immerse themselves in the vibrant culture that defines them.
