We come here to dine often and the food is very good. I like the different types of variety of dishes that they offer on their menu. The owner is very nice and so is his wife. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. My kids love it too.

I was at Pablo’s yesterday with a friend for lunch. And truly, to be fair, I need to break my review into two parts. One for the food we received, and one for everything else.
The everything else receives a giant WTF.
We walked in and sat down, and were promptly provided with menus. I asked if there was a lunch menu. I was told that there wasn’t. (A Mexican place without a lunch menu?) I followed up by asking if there was a lunch special. I was told the cheeseburger was the lunch special. (Really? A Mexican place that chooses as its lunch special something that’s only on the menu to appease those who don’t eat Mexican food?) Also, there’s a gyro on the menu that I think would be wise to avoid, as its ingredients don’t seem to appear in anything else on the menu. Never a good sign.
The pricing structure on the menu is something a restaurant consultant would laugh out the door. It’s like someone threw darts at a bingo card to set the prices.
$3 for chips and salsa? $5 for chips and pico? Pico and salsa are nearly identical in terms of ingredients. I’m supposed to pay a $2 upcharge for pico? Does the salsa come in a jar from an institutional vendor? Does the prep cook have terrible knife skills when it comes to dicing tomatoes and onions for the pico? Surely there has to be an answer for such a ridiculous discrepancy.
There are how many other restaurants in town that have figured out how to just give this stuff away because it fuels beverage sales? Not Pablo, apparently. Pablo is going to rake you over the coals.
Further, $2.50 for soda, no refills? That’s a great way to never sell soda right there, especially to anyone who knows what the cost to the restaurant is to provide someone with that soda.
You know what Pablo didn’t get from us? An order for beverages or chips and salsa. Come on, Pablo. Unlimited refills on the soda cost you virtually nothing and giving the chips and salsa away drives beverage sales and, since all your competitors do it, it’s just good business. It sets the meal off on such a wrong note as a customer to feel like a restaurant is straight away trying to rip you off up front.
Also the burrito and the chimichanga are described identically on the menu, and are priced equally at $9.99. Except the chimi comes with rice and beans? We asked the server about the contents of the chimi – lettuce and tomato? She confirmed. Lettuce wrapped in flour and sent to a deep fryer seems like a great way to get wilted lettuce.
As for the food we received – the steak “a la Mexicana” platter and the chicken taquitos? The food was largely solid. As other reviewers have commented, the portions are extremely large – one could easily get two meals out of the Mexicana platter. The rice was fine, if unspectacular.
Both my friend and I were happy with the entrees, but the whole experience beyond that was just disappointing. Fix the other stuff and I’ll be back. Otherwise, there are just too many other Mexican places with solid food that get the little things right to come back for a return visit.

Best Mexican Food around. The place could use some updates, a little TLC but the food is outstanding and being able to order to go makes it all worth it!

We have moved to a new location at 111 west main street. It provides more space to seat more people comfortably. As well as having a small convenient store in the same building!
