El Pueblito in Bracebridge

This is quite possibly the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. It's amazing to find a gem like this that beats some of the best the South West US has to offer. Incredible to find food this authentic and this good in the Muskokas of all places. You gotta try!

Excellent food, charming service and a nice selection of vegetarian and vegan options. A go-to for get-togethers when I'm in the area.

Great food! The place had a real cozy feel to it. The owners were really nice and friendly. I would love to go again!

Went for dinner here twice this week because the service and food are excellent. Tried the tacos which are all great and the appetizers come with these house made nacho chips which are incredible. The service is wonderful! Our server was the owner's daughter and she was a delight making the whole experience great. Make reservations though or you won't get in (they are that good!)

By far the best Mexican food we have ever had. My husband spent a few months in Mexico, and he was blown away with the food. Wish every restaurant had servers like this. She greeted us with a wonderful smile, informative, funny, all around 1 of the best we have ever had. Don’t wait years like we did to try this amazing restaurant.

Love this place and recommend it to those who like authentic Mexican food or simply want to try something different. The meals are delicious (I think I’ve tried most), and they make the best margarita in town. Service is exceptional. If it’s your first visit, don’t be shy about asking for a recommendation - they’re very helpful! The decor really adds to the experience by giving you a vacation vibe.

Always excellent food. And service. Love it here. Thank you!

Authentic Mexican food, great service, we'll be back.

I am Mexican and I LOVED that the servers knew the Mexican names of some dishes. I have to say that the flavor is sooo authentic that it made me feel like home. Everyone is so nice here! GRACIAS!

Delicious food. I definitely recommend.

By far one of the best restaurants. If you are sick of the same old meat and potatoes in "Muskoka" which is suppose to be a culinary hotbed. Fresh, Flavour, Authentic... It's hard to get away during this Pandemic, however I find ordering some take out from El Pueblito really helps us to relax and appreciate what's great about the people of our communities.

Fresh, Delicious Mexican Fare-Don't Miss This Gem!The portions are huge, (dinner for two, plus lunch the next day!), the food is delicious and the service was excellent, particularly considering the Covid adaptations necessary, right now. Such fun, friendly service. All the ingredients are fresh and tasty, and even though we weren't going to....the churros! Just say yes. Muchas gracias, amiga; hasta proxima!

Some of the best Mexican food I have had in Canada! We ordered chicken and beef tacos and vegetarian empanadas along with a couple lemonades. Delicious - great and friendly service!

Went for take out and was very impressed! Absolutely delisious!Light but at the same time filling.Delisious spices, the meat in my dish was perfect and a high quality cut.Was stuffed after dinner but still had to try the churros, good decision ! They are excelent.

Went for lunch in the winter, so it was a bit quiet but a wonderful Mexican experience in Downtown Bracebridge. Authentic Mexican food, wonderful friendly service. Will certainly be back.

The food is always delicious here and the server Chris is always friendly with great food suggestions.

Pescado del dia was amazing! Great experience!

Hola, fun, food, and homemade everything, plus goods to buy for home. Gracious!

Great food and a friendly staff always make for an enjoyable evening.

Amazing quality and service. Steak burrito and salad were great. Thank you!

While on a visit to Bracebridge we decided to try out El Pueblito. We are so happy we did. We had to sit on the patio due to COVID. The waitress, who was incredibly friendly, greeted us and seemed to be able to read our minds. She knew what drinks we wanted and what meals we wanted. It was amusing. We have our favourite authentic mexican restaurant back home and we feel guilty saying that El Pueblito is now our new favourite. The food was fresh and so flavourful. The inside is cute and charming and upon a return visit I'd love to dine inside. Despite the 4 hour drive, we plan to return soon! If you love authentic mexican food this restaurant is for you.

Very fresh ingredients and a true authentic Mexican place. Must try! Will definitely go again 😃

We went here twice in one week while on a girls getaway. The food was fantastic both times but the service was terrible! The servers took a long time to come to the table and did not listen. We asked for jalapenos on the side, didn't get them at all, asked for Salsa Roja on the side, didn't get it. Asked for no onions, but we did get that. Our server started taking to the next table while sleeping up our bills and then walked away before we were done, in spite of the fact that we said we had to go. So if you go, enjoy the food and don't go if you're in a hurry. Both times there was only one server for the entire place. The manager helped out but they need more staff.

AMAZING food, AMAZING service, and the best place for dinner in Bracebridge! I tell everyone at my hotel to go here for dinner, and they are always sooooo happy that I recommended it!

This is a five star restaurant (6 if I could)! Everything is noteworthy. The women who served us was so nice, accomodating, professional and fun; "have a drink, it's 4 o'clock in Mexico!" Haha. We really appreciated the ability to customize every dish to our preferred level of spice that we wanted. Her mix of a little bit of Spanish when talking really added to the experience. The food is some of the best I have had, Mexican or otherwise! The taste was so layered and the presentation was delightful. Serving sizes were generous. The restaurant is so clean and thoughtfully decorated. Go here for lunch or dinner!

Wonderful Staff, very kind, had the Enchiladas which I have had many times in Mexico and other Mexican restaurants and found them very small almost like Taquitos as well as cruncher shell then expected but still good.

Excellent and authentic flavours. The food is very fresh, high quality and full pf wonderful flavours. Its suitable for vegan, vegetarians and gluten intollerent. We got the empanadas, vegetarian tacos and the vegan potato dish. All fantastic but the fresh churos for dessert were the star of the whole evening!

I hardly give 5s.. But this deserves a high 10! Amazing food! One of the best and most authentic Mexican food in Bracebridge! Muchas gracias! I'm coming back even if I have to drive from Toronto! Keep it up! ❤️❤️❤️

This place is absolutely fantastic, first off the food is incredible and by the far the best Mexican cuisine I've had in my life I really cant say enough about it. The environment of the place is lovely, and it was a bit chilly on the patio but it's okay because they have blankets that you can wear, just so wholesome and welcoming. Would reccomend to anyone and I'm a customer for life now, thank you El Pueblito for being so fantastic.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Atmosphere is great too. Would recommend to anyone.

The best Mexican place ever. All meals are to die for with homemade ingredients. I always look forward to coming here.

Hidden gem of Muskoka. Authentic Mexican flavour, large portions, great value. Will definitely be back

Delicious mexican food, large flavourful portions and cozy warm atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite places to dine.

Love that they have vegetarian and vegan options, that so taste amazing.

This restuarant was amazing. They had the most friendly staff and such a huge selection. I'd recommend based on that. My only issue is it's hard to customize anything

Good food, friendly staff, clean atmosphere. Prices a tad on the higher side.

It’s this cute place with great vibe. Food is (very, very) delicious! Servers are friendly too. Must try - Chicken tacos, flautas de pollo and churros.

Delicious authentic food and very friendly service. Highly recommend!

service is very slow but the food is good

Wonderful steak burrito. Very friendly staff. Great music and cozy environment.

My meal was delicious! I order the fish tacos... the ingredients were fresh and the favors were amazing. This was our first visit and will definitely come back!

Delicious margaritas and food options, we enjoyed the patio. The service was really friendly. Worth waiting in line to eat here.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Very clean & bright, with very friendly & attentive staff. It took an extra few minutes for lunch to arrive, but WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!! Possibly the tastiest Mexican food I've had north of Texas. Wonderful flavor without trying to incinerate your taste buds. Can't get back there soon enough.

Great food, staff, menu, and prices. Been enjoying their food for a few years, almost a monthly occasion.

Great food and presentation! Pleasantly surprised by this find. Nice patio but the inside is very pretty and they even have Mexican decorations for sale!

What I love about this place?? Everything! Authentic and delicious food, awesome decor, great and friendly staff and the best margaritas!Every dish brings memories from home.Not your typical restaurant in town. This place will make you feel happy as soon as you get in and you will want to come back as often as you can!

Was looking for something out of the ordinary in cottage country and was not dissapointed at all. We did have a little bit of a false start waiting for service, but the owner came over and took care of us just the same. The rest of the meal was exemplary. Everything is made fresh. Food is awesome, hot and fast. I had the Chicken Mole and she had the shrimp tacos. All I can say is wow. We'll be back for sure.

my famiIy took me here for bday dinner. the food was delicious and the staff was amazing.

Service seemed slow, but is you have the patience, you'll be rewarded with very fresh food. I think it took a while because large restaurants will have 50 of everything waiting. Here, it's small so it's made to order so you have to wait. The food is decent, staff is friendly. If your in the neighborhood I'd give it a try.

Our first visit was a wonderful surprise; delicious authentic food, cheerful atmosphere, and the owner is a delightful and attentive server. Homemade tortilla chips are delicious, everything is fresh and there's plenty of choice. Portions are large enough that some people might want to share for lunch.
