" What a fantastic gem in Des Moines! Pueblo Viejo has nailed the authentic taste of Mexican food. I particularly loved the carne asada, which was perfectly grilled and seasoned. The service staff were attentive without being obtrusive. Overall, a remarkable dining experience, and I look forward to visiting again. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I was excited to dine at Pueblo Viejo, I found the experience quite hit or miss. The fajitas were sizzling and seemed to be prepared well, but the steak was tough and lacked flavor. On the upside, the guacamole was fresh and delicious! Service was attentive and friendly, but I did feel rushed towards the end of the meal. An okay visit but room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience at Pueblo Viejo. Service was slow, and my quesadilla was cold. I expressed my concern to the staff, and they made an effort to fix it, but the damage was done. Finally, the nachos were pretty decent, but overall, I expected more. " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience at Pueblo Viejo was superb! The food arrived quickly, and each dish was bursting with authentic flavor. The carne asada tacos were a highlight for me. The service was fast, but I didn't feel rushed. I can't wait to come back and try even more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pueblo Viejo is my favorite Mexican restaurant in town. I always order the chicken enchiladas, and they do not disappoint. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and ready to assist. I recommend trying their house salsa; it’s got a wonderful spice to it. Highly recommended for anyone craving Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has become a family favorite! We love the huevos rancheros for brunch and the margaritas are always refreshing. The staff’s service continues to be excellent, and we leave feeling like we got our money's worth every time we visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Pueblo Viejo was less than stellar. The food was alright, but everything felt very bland and repetitive. The sopapillas were nice, but I was hoping for more of a kick in flavor. The service was fine, but it felt like we were left unattended for too long. I'm not sure if I'd come back, as I'm searching for more exciting flavors elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)
