Mi Pueblito Restaurant Menu
Four weekdays, four different home-cooked specials — the way a family kitchen actually runs, not a fixed printed menu.
Mi Pueblito Restaurant is located at Av. Vicente Guerrero 2311-1, Guerrero, 88240 Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico — across the Rio Grande from Laredo, Texas, not on the U.S. side. We’re including it because it’s a regular cross-border stop for Laredo diners, and we say so plainly rather than list it as if it were in Texas.
Crossing for lunch
A few practical things worth knowing if you’re coming from the Texas side.
Bring the right documents
U.S. citizens need a valid passport, passport card, or other WHTI-compliant document to re-enter the United States afterward. Check current requirements at cbp.gov before you go.
Wait times vary
Bridge crossing times change by hour and day. U.S. Customs and Border Protection publishes live wait times for the Laredo–Nuevo Laredo bridges — worth a quick check before you head over.
Prices likely aren’t in U.S. dollars
As a restaurant operating in Mexico, pricing is presumably in Mexican pesos (MXN) day to day, even though some published figures below use a dollar sign. See the currency note further down this page.
Call ahead
Hours and availability can shift with border traffic and local conditions. A quick call to +52 867 751 0777 before crossing is the safe move.
The week is the menu
Monday through Thursday, Mi Pueblito runs a “comida del día” — a set daily special that doesn’t repeat until next week. This is the heart of what the restaurant does; pick a day.
The week opens with three home-style anchors — a creamy chile dish, a red pozole, and a beef broth. Each comes as its own combo with rice and beans where noted.
Pollito en Rajas con Crema
Pozole Rojo Tradicional
Caldo de Res (con arroz)
A crispier, more textured lineup — fried flautas alongside a Mexican-style steak, with the same steady beef broth as a fallback.
Flautas — 5 piezas (pollo, res o papa con queso)
Bistec a la Mexicana
Caldo de Res (con arroz)
Midweek leans into sauced plates — crisp tostadas piled high, and a choice of three enchilada styles.
Tostadas Preparadas — 3 en la orden
Enchiladas — suizas, rojas o verdes
Caldo de Res (con arroz)
The week closes with the two richest plates on the rotation — slow-cooked pork in red chile, and chicken in a sweet mole.
Asado de Boda
Mole Dulce
Caldo de Res (con arroz)
Daily specials follow a Monday–Thursday rotation and may change without notice. No published special was listed for Friday through Sunday — call ahead to confirm weekend availability.
Plates that don’t wait for a specific day
Alongside the daily rotation, these dishes appear to be available more regularly.

What documents do I need to cross into Nuevo Laredo?
To return to the United States afterward, U.S. citizens need a valid passport, passport card, or another WHTI-compliant document. Check current entry requirements at cbp.gov before you go.
What kind of food does Mi Pueblito serve?
Traditional Mexican comida casera (home-style cooking) — pozole, caldo de res, mole, enchiladas, flautas, asado de boda and daily combo plates, all built around family recipes rather than a tourist-facing menu.
Are the menu prices in U.S. dollars or Mexican pesos?
Unclear from our source data. The smaller daily-special prices and the larger “Otros” prices both use a dollar sign, but the jump in scale between them suggests the larger figures are likely in Mexican pesos (MXN). Confirm current pricing and currency directly with the restaurant.
