Voted Best Mexican Restaurant in Sarasota!

Voted Best Taco! Voted Best Margarita!

A local institution serving Sarasota, Venice and Bradenton with Northern Mexican recipes and Award-winning Margaritas in an authentic, vibrant atmosphere!

Mi Pueblo Mexican Restaurant was founded in 1999 by two cousins from Mexico who spent their childhood summers working on their Abuelo’s Ranches, in the mountains of Chihuahua. It was on these Ranches that both their love of their traditional hometown cuisine and their entrepreneurial spirits were born.

By merging their Abuela’s cherished family dishes with their restaurant industry experience, co-founders Bonifacio Caro and Hugo Nunez created Mi Pueblo to share their appreciation of North Mexican cuisine in an authentic atmosphere. To our family, honoring the recipes we enjoyed growing up on ranches in Chihuahua is our way of sharing our home town heritage with each of our guests. And so we chose the name “Mi Pueblo”, meaning “My Hometown”.

Since then, Mi Pueblo has been fortunate to expand to three locations- convenient to local attractions like Siesta Key, Venice Beach and University Town Center (UTC). Over the past 25 years, we have been honored to have been recognized by local publications in Sarasota, Venice, and Bradenton, earning awards like “Best Margarita,” “Best Taco,” and “Best Mexican Restaurant.”

Celebrating our 25th Anniversary this December, we are considered to be the Oldest Mexican Restaurant in Sarasota and are proudly still family owned and operated to this day.
Whether you’re enjoying a meal in our vibrant dining rooms, hosting a party in our private banquet spaces, or letting us cater your event, we’re here to make every celebration a true fiesta! We invite Sarasota locals and vacationers alike to come join the Mi Pueblo family, savor our authentic Mexican dishes, explore our extensive tequila selection, and experience our vibrant culture.
