Pueblo Mexicano Offers Comfort Food Made with Love
The month of May promises exciting times worthy of calendar bookmarks. From the local music festivals in our tropical islands, to the Cinco de Mayo of Mexico, the fifth month of the year won't thwart anybody's sense of excitement.
Should you want to get that Mexican vibes, there's no need for you to fly all the way to the mystical land of Mexico because Pueblo Mexicano, a casual dining restaurant, will serve it right on your palate.
There is a healthy market for Mexican foods in Cebu replete with the constant rise of Mexican diners. However, Pueblo Mexicano is not your typical Mexican restaurant. Mention Mexican food to Cebuanos and you’ll get hard-shell tacos, bursting burritos and quesadillas dripping with cheese as their musings. Howbeit, what rolls out in Pueblo is a fiesta of foods prepared in novel ways such as the Tamales and fish Veracruzana.
Tamales
two steamed corn masa dumplings stuffed with lechon carnitas , cheese & salsa rojo, wrapped in corn husk
Warm Quinoa Salad
quinoa, zucchini, bell peppers, fresh corn kernels, black beans, romaine tomatoes. tortilla crisp
Pueblo Mexicano is a brainchild of their manager Enzo Nable who opened a small kiosk called Burrito Bar in 2010. Coupled by his parents fascination on the rich Mexican cuisine and culture, the family decided to turn Burrito Bar into a full-service restaurant and bar, giving birth to Pueblo Mexicano in May 2013.
Aside from Mexican foods, dishes from the region of Latin America such as the pollo a la brasa and the steak chimichurri which features the traditional Argentinean chimichurri sauce are also available in Pueblo. The restaurant also amplified their menu by adding some Spanish favorites in it such as the callos, patatas bravas, and the irresistible torrija. Pueblo’s range of margaritas are good accompaniments to any of their gastronomical treats.

Pueblo's Smokehouse Ribs

Garlic Cream Scallops

From their vibrant walls, to their wooden furniture, Pueblo
reflects the charm and artistic heritage of Mexico. In its 4th year
anniversary this Cinco de Mayo, relive those vivid Mexican dreams present in
the paintings of Frida Kahlo by visiting Pueblo Mexicano at Banilad Town Center
in Cebu City.
Earlier today, I came across an adage which states that culture is
best served on a platter. I couldn’t agree more with it upon thinking of Pueblo
Mexicano.
love lots,
Tin
