Step into the vibrant world of Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant, a beloved culinary institution serving the Sarasota, Venice, and Bradenton areas. For over 25 years, this family-owned establishment has been delighting locals and visitors alike with traditional Northern Mexican recipes and their award-winning margaritas, all within an authentically warm and lively atmosphere.
Founded in 1999 by two cousins with deep roots in Chihuahua, Mexico, Mi Pueblo is the realization of a childhood dream. Growing up spending summers on their grandfather’s ranches nestled in the Chihuahua mountains, Bonifacio Caro and Hugo Nunez developed a profound appreciation for their hometown cuisine and cultivated their entrepreneurial spirit. Inspired by their Abuela’s treasured family recipes and combined with their extensive restaurant industry experience, they created Mi Pueblo, meaning “My Hometown,” as a heartfelt tribute to their heritage.
Mi Pueblo has expanded to three convenient locations, making it a perfect dining destination near popular attractions such as Siesta Key, Venice Beach, and University Town Center (UTC). Throughout its 25-year history, Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant has consistently been recognized by local Sarasota, Venice, and Bradenton publications, proudly earning accolades for having the “Best Margarita,” “Best Tacos,” and being the “Best Mexican Restaurant” overall. Celebrating its silver anniversary, Mi Pueblo stands as Sarasota’s oldest Mexican restaurant, a testament to its enduring commitment to quality and authentic flavors, and remains family owned and operated.
Whether you are looking for a memorable meal in their cheerfully decorated dining rooms, planning a special event in their private banquet spaces, or desire the taste of Mi Pueblo brought to your own gathering through their catering services, they are ready to transform any occasion into a true fiesta. Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant warmly invites everyone, from Sarasota residents to vacationing guests, to join their extended family, savor the genuine taste of Northern Mexican dishes, explore their impressive selection of tequilas, and immerse themselves in their vibrant culture.
