SRQ Magazine | October 2025: Best of SRQ Winners Showcase - Mi Pueblo
MI PUEBLO
PLATINUM WINNER
BEST LOCAL MEXICAN FOOD

MI PUEBLO MEXICAN RESTAURANTS WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND A HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO THE VOTERS OF SARASOTA FOR THIS RECOGNITION!
As a family-owned business, the support of our community is what makes our dreams’ success possible, and we are deeply grateful. This honor is especially meaningful as we recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of our first location in Palm Plaza on Bee Ridge Road. What began as a dream between cousins has grown—thanks to your support—into three convenient locations, each with its own unique atmosphere and offerings.

Whether it’s enjoying a live Mariachi serenade with a Margarita in hand, gathering for a family celebration around sizzling fajitas, or having a leisurely lunch al fresco with your dog at our Venice Brickyard Plaza location, Mi Pueblo provides the place for every occasion.
When my cousin and I co-founded our first location in 1999, we chose the name Mi Pueblo because it translates to ‘my hometown.’ It was a way to honor our childhood roots on the ranches of Chihuahua Mexico, but it was really about capturing the sense of comfort and joy sharing simple, delicious meals with family can bring. Over the past 25 years, Mi Pueblo has been striving to share our North Mexican culture through the recipes we grew up with and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. We’ve had the pleasure of watching Sarasota and Venice flourish, and of seeing our guests and their families grow alongside us. It has been an honor to be part of your celebrations, big and small, and it’s why we remain dedicated to offering a place you can call your ‘Hometown’ Mexican restaurant.
- Bonifacio Caro
Since 1999, our mission has remained the same: to share our families North Mexican dishes and culture delivering quality service, and providing warm hospitality in a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home. We’re also proud to offer catering services, bringing the fiesta to your special events. We are honored to have been part of so many cherished moments with you.

From our family to yours—thank you, Sarasota, for voting Mi Pueblo SRQ’s Best Mexican Restaurant. We look forward to celebrating many more meals, memories, and milestones together.
¡Muchas Gracias, Sarasota y Viva Mi Pueblo!
