I recently visited El Pueblo Restaurant with my family and we had such a great experience! The staff was very nice and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. It’s a wonderful family-friendly place — they even have chicken tenders on the kids’ menu, which is perfect for picky eaters.
The food was authentic and delicious! I ordered a torta, and it was huge and absolutely amazing. My husband had the tampiqueña, and he really enjoyed it. My son, who’s usually a very picky eater, got the chicken tenders and said they were great. My other son ordered carnival tacos from the kids’ menu, and my 5 month old daughter loved her beans.
The environment is warm, comfortable, and perfect for bringing the whole family. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!

The service is great, however the food was otherwise. My husband ordered menudo and tasted very old. I told the waitresses and they said they make a little at a time and that it was fresh from the morning, however it did not taste fresh at all. So instead of the menudo he ate steak tacos, and the seasoning was just not it. I ordered a pambazo and everything about it was good except the meat. The meat did not taste like al pastor at all, it tastes more like steak with pineapple. Overall, very kind staff, but that’s it. The food looked delicious, but the taste did not match. Unfortunately, i will not be returning.

I would rate zero stars if that was an option. Only eat here if you want to waste your time and be disgusted. We arrived at about 2:15pm, ordered our drinks, received the drinks promptly, then ordered our food. We did not get our food until about 3:45, but mind you, each person got their food in increments of 30 mins. By the time one person was done eating, the next persons food was arriving. They got a three taco order wrong – we asked for no onion or cilantro, when we told them they took it back and simply picked the toppings off instead of giving us new tacos. A chicken chimichanga was ordered and it was boiled, still wet chicken, with only cheese inside. No toppings, nothing.

Had the Pompazo* steak torta -Was not good at all I took four bites, got my check tipped and left like a gentleman. The steak was terrible I wouldn’t even feed it to my dog. Didn’t take my food home, wasn’t offered anything in exchange or a sorry. Both the gals working where nice though. Was my second time back here and last.
The gal that waited on me was pleasent and delightful. Ordered a steak buritto, It was decent the steak was flavourful and a good size for the price 7.64$ w tax. The chips and salsa were good. The green and red suace wasn’t the best but it wasn’t terrible. The salsa on the other hand was very effen good. I’d definitely go back to try something else or for another burrito.
Really my only complaint would be to serve the food hotter and have a better hot suace with a bit more flavor and heat.

First and foremost. Thank you very much to everyone who took their time to review this hidden gem. Being born and raised Chicago allowed me to taste cuisine from around the globe. I have recently spent a lot of time eating and exploring Mexico.
I must say that on a good day, this place can go head to head with some of Chicago’s best known family owned Mexican restaurants. Great portions, great staff, fresh food for a great price.
My favorites are the Steak burritos with extra meat. Chicken flauta dinner, Steak tacos and Menudo on weekends. Their breakfast are also very very delicious. Enjoy
They also have a full bar, gaming machines and a bakery if you have a sweet tooth.

Wow what a Hidden Gem at Broadway and 11th Street. Had a steak burrito last night. I have to say it was almost like somebody’s mother made this meal. My now go to for Mexican food in Rockford. Everything was five stars definitely will be back. They have an everyday special three tacos for six bucks. Can’t wait to go back to try them. Along with my burrito I made it a dinner and got Spanish rice and refried beans. Normally when I order Spanish rice at a Mexican restaurant it’s basically Bland there’s really no taste to it it’s orange colored and such and little specks here and there of corn and stuff like that but normally it’s rather Bland and has no flavor. This Spanish rice actually had flavor I wish there was more on my plate and on top of that it was also in my steak burrito what a treat. Again five stars, will be going back there very soon, again my definite go to for Mexican food.

I did come in about 90 minutes before close, so first off, they did great considering that. Our waitress didn’t speak great English, and one of us asked to switch what they wanted after hearing what someone else ordered, and the switch didn’t happen. However, everyone was happy with what they got. It was fast, fresh, and not too burdening on the wallet. Would definitely return.
