Washington, IA: Washington County

Our taco tour led us into the county seat of Washington County and we discovered a very busy restaurant that is pumping out a lot of delicious food. Team Goodvin was more than hungry and you’ll see what I mean when you look at what we ordered. We came for tacos and left having a lot more!

Great work on the tacos, Mi Pueblo Real. Now lets see what else you’re slinging our way. A burrito the size of an overweight chihuahua-Check. Smothered cheese enchiladas-Check. Shrimp nachos-Check. A big ole chimichanga and nice helping of beautiful guacamole-Check. Lively decor depicting authentic Mexican landscapes-You know it!

Mi Pueblo Real’s giant burritos are a must have after a long day of biking. Loaded with meat, rice, beans, guac, and lettuce and tipped with rich queso!

Mi Pueblo Real has the seafood lovers covered. Share or don’t share these shrimp nachos.

We’re loving this challenge, but why are we putting ourselves through the anguish of picking just one to be awarded as best hometown tacos? Because their can only be one highlander. That’s the best lesson I learned coming out of the 80’s. See you again taco-mania!
