Sadly, Tacos Mi Pueblo has closed. It is a now a taco shop, without abodaba or al pastor…
mmm-yoso is the name of the blog. Today it's Cathy a-blogging, tomorrow it will most likely be Kirk a- blogging.
Hello again. Cathy here. Yes, blogging about another taco shop- one that has been in the Santee Town Center since it opened. One that makes Al Pastor and Adobada tacos as well as some large breakfast burritos and in house chile relleños an has a fresh salsa bar and daily specials. 
It's in the parking lot that has the Home Depot and Hometown Buffet in the 'heart' of Santee (our City Hall is a bunch of permanent trailers and is located in the North East corner of the City, so I suppose it isn't right to call it 'downtown', this area of town is called "Town Center"). Tacos Mi Pueblo opened when the Home Depot opened, about 9 years ago now, and it is still in the same location. That is a good thing.
The menu is pretty simple and on the wall behind the cash register and above the stove. This paper menu doesn't show breakfast, but they have it. 
So, the other day the "Get1Free" book arrived in the mail and there as a coupon for the rolled tacos, and I was hungry, so off went The Mister and I…we had to go to Home Depot also, but in my mind, having something to blog about was primary; the heck with playing with copper tubing and MAPP torches; we've waited this long…
A total of 10 shredded beef rolled tacos, topped with fresh guacamole, lettuce, cheese and salsa. $2.75 total. Thick corn tortilla rolled around shredded beef. Excellent flavors.
I also tried one of the specials on the wall- a chile relleño, cheese enchilada, rice and beans plate ($5.75). Excellent chile, made in store (not the pre-made ones you can get from Smart N Final) with a sauce unique from the cheese enchilada sauce. Everything was excellent, fresh and tasty.
However, the name of the place IS "Tacos Mi Pueblo"..so I had to go back , when hungry, to try the …um…oh, yeah, the tacos. I tried three. (It's kind of funny that I am writing this as if I had never been here before…)
. Each costs $2.25.
The Al Pastor, cooked on a spit, was very flavorful.
They overloaded all three tacos with guacamole and salsa, which I put onto the second tortilla given for each taco and sort of had my own 'nacho feast' later.
Oddly, the carne asada meat seemed to have 
the least amount of flavor, but still was very good. Perhaps because it had been cut into small chunks and cooked a second time to be sure it was heated properly.
Again, extra guacamole and salsa. But it went to good use later.
The Adobada was excellent!
Tender, juicy with just enough heat in the marinade.
All in all, great food. They have a special of 4 mini tacos for the price of three (all have to be the same meat, though) for $3.75. Its good food, and close to Home Depot. Better than the Hot Dog cart in front of HD, definitely! They have a punch card and it gets validated every time you spend more than $10. Five punches and you get either a free bean and cheese burrito or 3 rolled tacos.
