Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant stands as a beloved local gem, bringing the vibrant tastes of Northern Mexico to Sarasota, Venice, and Bradenton. Since 1999, this family-owned establishment has been delighting diners with traditional recipes passed down through generations and award-winning margaritas, all served in a warm and inviting atmosphere that transports you straight to Mexico.
The story of Mi Pueblo begins with two cousins from Mexico, Bonifacio Caro and Hugo Nunez, whose childhood summers spent on their grandfather’s ranches in Chihuahua ignited a passion for authentic hometown cuisine and a spirit of entrepreneurship. Inspired by their Abuela’s treasured family recipes and combined with their restaurant industry expertise, they founded Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant. Their mission was simple yet profound: to share the rich culinary heritage of Northern Mexico with their community. The name “Mi Pueblo,” meaning “My Hometown,” perfectly encapsulates their dedication to bringing a genuine taste of their roots to every guest.
Over the past 25 years, Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant has grown to become a local favorite with three convenient locations, ideally situated near popular destinations such as Siesta Key, Venice Beach, and University Town Center (UTC). This longevity and local affection have not gone unnoticed. Mi Pueblo has proudly earned accolades from respected publications throughout Sarasota, Venice, and Bradenton, consistently recognized for serving the “Best Margarita,” the “Best Tacos,” and being the “Best Mexican Restaurant” overall.
Celebrating a significant milestone of 25 years this December, Mi Pueblo holds the distinction of being the oldest Mexican restaurant in Sarasota, a testament to its enduring quality and commitment. Remaining family-owned and operated, they continue to uphold the values of tradition and hospitality that have defined their success. Whether you’re looking for a lively dinner in their beautifully decorated dining rooms, planning a special occasion in their private banquet spaces, or seeking exceptional catering for your next event, Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant is dedicated to making every gathering a true celebration. They warmly invite both Sarasota residents and visitors to become part of the Mi Pueblo family, indulge in the authentic flavors of Mexico, explore their extensive selection of tequilas, and immerse themselves in the vibrant culture that makes Mi Pueblo a truly special dining experience.
