First time eating here. The atmosphere is a little lacking (dark, pretty plain) so I was curious how the food would be. It was REALLY good. We got the lunch specials and it was the perfect amount of food. The refried beans were awesome. Would definitely come back!
Very pleasant experience! Although the restaurant was busy the food was prompt and delicious. Server was very conscientious of possible sources of gluten cross contamination. Food was very reasonably priced and serving was generous. Lots of gluten free options on the separate gluten free menu (can be found on the website as well). Make sure you don’t eat chips until you ensure they are the gluten free ones. We couldn’t have the queso due to some cross contamination concerns and server suggested the six layer dip and we were not disappointed! No issues after. Would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone with gluten allergies or celiac disease.
First time and won’t be returning. The service was fast, however it’s overpriced and they forgot pieces of our order (including the chips). Got takeout. Taquitos with shredded spicy meat - so dry it’s literally turning to dust, no flavor. Quesadilla is plain - just a tortilla and cheese. Shredded chicken in my taco came very bland and cold as if straight out of a can, and the burrito again, only has meat in it. I expected at least beans or cheese. It was so tough we had to cut it on a table with a steak knife. Rice had no flavor. The thing with the most ingredients, surprisingly so, was the refrained beans, which came topped with green onions thankfully. Genuinely disappointed. Taco Bell has more flavor and ingredients and I would have saved my money. (We spent nearly $15 per person here) 🤷♀️ I can say the girl who took our order was incredibly sweet - but that’s the only positive part of this entire experience. EDITED: Response FROM the owner - E, sorry for your experience but takeout doesn't come with chips that is extra they are only complimentary in the restaurant where food is fresh and hot served. When you pick up and take home we can't guarantee that things stay hot. As far as your food sorry but yes our burritos come with meat and cheese if you want to add more you have to ask or order a Grande Burrito or Fajita Burrito that has more items in it. Quesadillas come with just cheese and you can order meat if you want for a charge. Sorry we didn't meet your taste buds but I can guarantee Taco Bell doesn't have more flavor but to each there own. Response TO the owner - it's a shame to hear the chips aren't included in the meal, we would have assumed they were with the 2 included salsa dips we got on the side. However, other pieces of our meal were not included in addition to this. Our burrito did not have cheese - as I said - it was ONLY meat. Taco Bell absolutely has more flavor when, for example, a quesadilla comes with not only a 3 cheese blend, but also meat for no extra charge and creamy jalapeno sauce cooked in. When yours only comes with cheese and tortilla, you're already missing out on ingredients and flavor - I'm not sure what's to argue here? I understand you cannot guarantee food stays hot, but we only live around the corner and ordered with a waitress in the restaurant, staying until it was brought to us - to immediately go home and eat. If your food gets "cold" in less than 5 minutes packed a case and bags sitting on a heated seat, it was never "hot" to begin with. The container was warmer than the food inside of it. Frankly, your response to me and anyone else on your page is really disappointing. "Sorry, but. Sorry, but" and passive aggressive remarks. It's okay to make mistakes or not be everyone's cup of tea, and to take accountability or wish your customers the best. A great response to this would be to acknowledge there was missing pieces in addition to the chips, and apologize without justification. To express confusion for why our burrito DIDN'T come with cheese as it's supposed to and hope that it does if we wish to return next time. To express disappointment in how we feel about our visit, and explain that we'd be welcome to enjoy chips if we give a dine-in a shot and you'd think we'd love it. That you're looking forward to the opportunity to turning it around for us. Instead - this reply confirms you couldn't care less, and nothing will change. And, that we won't be returning. And reading the rest of your negative reviews for years - they all seem to mirror mine. Wish I read them sooner - and wish you took the time to reflect on them a little more. Changing my 2 star to a 1. Cheers. x
I love Pablo's for the food and sometimes the servers, but our server Julie was kind of rude. She was nice for the first part and then when it got busy, she acted like we were taking up a booth. We weren't here for more than an hour. Pablos is still really good though, it's just my opinion of one person (:
Great tasting margaritas !!! Carne Asada tacos were tasty Taqitos beef were better then chicken Thin yummy chips n mild salsa Was happy to find a decent Mexican restaurant, since we live in California with The BEST Mexican crusines.
Great atmosphere. Great server. Great margaritas. Al Pastor taco's were not good. Dry and not a classic Mexican flavor. Never got a chip refill(honestly this isn't a big deal since, it's just a little odd for Mexican restaurants)
Love Pablo’s! We’ve been going her since I was little but it’s been a good 8-10 years since we’ve last been here. But the food was still great as well as the chips and salsa. Very pleasantly surprised but he flavored lemonade too!
I grew up eating here for family meals quite frequently as my grandparents knew Paul. The fried ice cream was always my favorite as a kid. The decor is bold and playful. Excellent mexican food. Try the Seafood Cancun on the weekends. It is AMAZING.
