Been eating here almost from the day it opened 25 years ago. Everything is the best hands down!!! Have Tryed other Mexican restaurants but, this one is the best especially for the money!!

Everyone is cheerful and happy and make you feel at home, however the salsa uses canned tomatoes and just don't know how to make fresh salsa and it tastes horrible and it ruins the entire experience, the steak nachos I had were mostly all re-fried beans, soggy and were over burdened with excessive re-fried beans, no decent salsa to flavor it up Yuck took it home to toss it!

The only thing good were the chips and salsa. The food is basic, not authentic Mexican, little to choose from, will not substitute, waitress knew very little about the food she delivers, had no time for the customers. The restrooms were very gross and way to small for a restaurant. Not well lit, floors were dirty, silverware had crusted food. I went here on recommendation that it was really good and had a great vegetarian offering for those concerned about such, like my girlfriend.

Seriously? The tamale was inedible, the taco shells seemed store bought, and the meat was bland. Not authentic tasting and the waitstaff was mediocre.

There food is great. I think that it is the best mexican restaurant in this area. I have tried mexican restaurants in a number of cities including Chicago and there is only one other mexican restaurant that I like as much as Pablos. They have great food and great service, try it and I promise you that you will go back again and again.

Pablos is a great place for drinks, dinner or both. The have Fetticune with shrimp that is fabulous. The golden margaritas are the best I've had. Warm, friendly service.

The food is great! The margaritas are yummy too. Cost is good/reasonable. The atmosphere is not fancy, no need to dress up, but it's very festive in there. My husband loves this place, that's where he wants to go for Father's Day. The service is good, water, chips and salsa right when you sit down. It's fun & yummy.
