Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I have eaten there a couple of times and have enjoyed myself each time. The margaritas are huge well made, the frozen one's, are like drinking an alcoholic sluggish, and was giving me a brain freeze. I think I personally prefer the drinks on the rocks.

Pueblo ... New Name, Same Boring Food Pueblo Mexican Restaurant 804 Lowa St Lawrence, KS 66044 Phone number: (785) 331-2710 pueblomxrestaurant.com Prices: $ We tried the El Mezcal on Iowa Street (now closed and called "Pueblo") shortly after moving to Lawrence last summer and were not impressed. So when I read the yelp* reviews for the new restaurant, I was a bit surprised that they were so good. In fact, a fellow Elite '14 member had high praise for their food, service, and margaritas, so I had to give them a try. Our experience was very average, even disappointing. Based on the menu, it looks like El Mezcal simply changed the name to Pueblo, hoping to get more business, but they should have copied the 23rd Street location's recipes because the food is not nearly as good. As mentioned in previous reviews, I am a bit of a Mexican food snob, having grown up in LA where Mexican restaurants far outnumber McDonalds and Taco Bell combined. As usual, I stick with the basics the first time I visit a restaurant to see if they can get them right before moving on to more complex fare. We ordered the small guacamole ($3.49) and the highly touted white cheese dip (queso blanco - small - $3.49). The guacamole was small and too dark ( not enough lime/lemon and/or too old) made with avocado and SMALL PIECES OF TOMATO (which should never be in guacamole in the first place). The queso blanco was warm and well seasoned, but way too watery, barely adhering to the store-bought chips, another tremendous disappointment. I had the 27 ounce margarita (on the rocks - $4.99) which was decent, strong, and very reasonably priced, and my wife had the horchata, a Mexican rice-base drink which was much better than El Mezcal's watery version. My wife ordered the vegetarian special #1, a cheese quesadilla and cheese and onion enchilada (with queso blanco instead of red sauce - she hates tomatoes - $7.49), coming with refried beans. It is difficult to screw-up a quesadilla and Pueblo was no exception. The enchilada was good, but the beans rather bland, missing that fatty taste traditional refried beans emanate hence the name "refried". I decided to forego the rice and beans and get down to brass tacks, ordering the steak tacos ($2.40 each) and beef enchiladas ($5.49) ala carte. The tacos came in flour tortillas and the steak, not plentiful, was well seasoned with a little lettuce and plenty of white cheese. I saved some of the guacamole for my tacos, ordered some pico de gallo ($.99), and added their salsa, which was pretty good, making up for the lack of tomatoes. Disappointing. The beef enchiladas were OK, but the sauce was watery and lacking flavor and a bit too sweet for my taste. I recommend that they flash-fry the tortillas before filling them, adding the sauce and some white cheese on top before putting them under the broiler to melt. Pueblo was no surprise after the ho-hum experience we had at this Iowa Street location when it was called El Mezcal. The decor is colorful and reminiscent of old Mexico and the service attentive, friendly, and fast. Not my favorite Mexican restaurant in Lawrence by any stretch and we will probably not return.

This restaurant on Iowa near 6th Street has a menu that is a clone of the usual Tex-Mex menus common at most of Lawrence's Mexican restaurants. What really stands out here is the service. When we were there, the service was really outstanding. But as with the other "cloned" Mexican menus in Lawrence, Pueblo's doesn't even have black beans, only refried beans, and of course they do not have brown rice. This kind of border-Mex menu is a throwback to those of the earliest Mexican restaurants to appear in the US Southwest many decades ago. Of course Mexican food in the interior of Mexico (far south of the border) is much more diverse than border-Mex. But if you like Tex-Mex, you will probably like Pueblo, and its service is unbeatable.

I stop here when ever in town for business. It's a good spot when you want to avoid the mass area.

This is in my opinion the best Mexican food you can get in Lawrence. The food is amazing, the options on the kids menu is wonderful. Personally I always get the Fajitas because who can pass up home made tortillas. The service is great as well I don't think I have ever had an empty glass.

I'm reviewing as a vegetarian. My favorite thing to order are nachos. I ordered bean and cheese nachos. I got chips with Velveeta-like cheese sauce on top and absolutely nothing else. When I said that I ordered bean and cheese nachos, they took the plate and after a minute hurriedly plopped it in front of me. They had just poured retried beans on top. So now there was cheese sauce with runny refried beans on top. They asked me if this was ok. By this time, I just wanted to eat. I always worry about sending food back a second time. I think then it's more likely to come back spit in or something. So I ate this bland meal, and swore never to come again.

Tamales!! Dear lord these are some of the best i have had. The service is great. Best Mexican food in Lawrence hands down. If i had to complain about something, i would say the queso isn't the greatest but my fiance and i frequently travel back to Texas to see his family so we are a little biased about tex-mex. I highly recommend the Choripollo with a side of guacamole salad and of course tamales!
(5)Paulette W.
Excellent food. I always get Fajitas at a new Mexican place so that I can compare the dish to my favorite Mexican restaurant. This place had flavorful and prepared the fajitas to my changes. Highly recommend.

The food is AMAZING !!!! Seasoned, texture is perfect, moist, & can't leave out how good the white cheese is ! Margaritas for 4.99 Jumbo aren't very good

There are restaurants you walk into and it's clear the owners know what they're doing and are serious about service. You get that in about 10 seconds here. Menus come out, chips are on the table and water in less than a minute. Order is taken in probably under 3 minutes. They're polite but ready to pounce, and away we went. First up, your requisite chips and sauce. The sauce definitely house crafted and brimming with cilantro, not much kick but a lot of serious flavor, a savory sweetness that complimented the chips nicely. Four enchilada platter for my friend, carne asada taco platter for myself. Tacos were simply meat and tortilla shells. The meat was flavorful and tender. A nice side of pico de gallo was available for the tacos and what I'd call a chipotle adobo sauce. All to my liking but no lime wedges. Should have asked. This was a huge lunch. Tacos came with a large side of refried beans that we ended up turning into dip for some of the chips. It was soft and flavorful with just a hint of melted cheese. I'd call this somewhat Americanized Mexican fare. Nothing wrong with that. It was a lot of food for the price, service was on the spot, and we clearly got a bit beyond our fill. The hustle of this place is unmistakable. It's not large and at one time I observed no less than five employees covering tables, filling water glasses, clearing plates and caring for customers. If you're on the clock for lunch, they can get you in and out in a hurry based on what I observed. Serious restaurant with solid food. I like their style and intend to return some evening to try the margaritas. A welcome addition to Lawrence's restaurant scene. We need more like this.

99 cent margaritas on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That's a good deal. Extremely attentive and fast service. The food was average, but tasty.

Good food at decent prices. I personally like it better than the Salty Iguana down the road.
