Looking for the best Mexican Restaurants Sarasota has to offer? For over two decades, Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant has been a beloved local destination serving the Sarasota, Venice, and Bradenton areas. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and authentic Northern Mexican cuisine, Mi Pueblo offers a true taste of Mexico right here in Florida.
Founded in 1999 by cousins Bonifacio Caro and Hugo Nunez, Mi Pueblo is more than just a restaurant; it’s a family story. Growing up, Bonifacio and Hugo spent summers on their grandfather’s ranches nestled in the mountains of Chihuahua, Mexico. It was here, surrounded by family and traditional recipes, that their passion for authentic Mexican food and entrepreneurial spirit blossomed. Inspired by their Abuela’s cherished family dishes and combined with their restaurant industry expertise, they created Mi Pueblo, meaning “My Hometown,” to share their heritage with the Sarasota community. Honoring the recipes they grew up with is their way of bringing a piece of their home to each and every guest.
Mi Pueblo has expanded to three convenient locations, making it easily accessible whether you’re visiting Siesta Key, exploring Venice Beach, or shopping at the University Town Center (UTC). For 25 years, Mi Pueblo has been consistently recognized by local publications throughout Sarasota, Venice, and Bradenton. They have proudly earned awards for “Best Margarita,” “Best Taco,” and “Best Mexican Restaurant,” solidifying their place as a top choice for Mexican food lovers. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this December, Mi Pueblo stands as the oldest Mexican restaurant in Sarasota, a testament to its quality and enduring appeal. It remains family-owned and operated, ensuring the same dedication to authentic flavors and warm hospitality from day one.
