    Decided I wanted to get some food to go, I looked online at the food and prices. Found something I wanted so I called and placed an order. Got to the restaurant and the order was $20 more than it was online. I ask about the price difference and she stated that, “ that menu was outdated 10 years ago.” Like it was no problem. WTH! How you run a business, but don’t update your website.

    Honestly, the few times I have been in for take out I have never been greeted just have had to wait until whoever is in charge of the cash register I guess finally comes around to bring my order out. My first experience at Pablo’s was really great! But the second and third time was not as great. I ordered the chicken fajitas and I do not believe any of it was worth the $18+ price I paid for. The chicken had no flavor. It is the first time I eat out and had chicken with absolutely no flavor no seasoning on it. The beans sadly had a burnt taste to it. I also ordered a large cheese dip because my daughter lovessss cheese dip! And unfortunately it tasted burnt as well. I really hate that they would sell food that tastes gross and even worse burnt. I don’t know who in their right mind would want to go pay anything for burnt food. It’s disgusting I’m sorry I was left very upset and disappointed that we had to throw away our dinner on a nice Sunday evening. I spent above $50 on our family’s dinner. So after our third time visiting this restaurant we won’t be coming back based on our experience we have had.

    Putu is the best! We keep come back for the food and his friendly service! We do miss the regular weekday live music, hopefully it will be brought back!

    Craving Mexican? Go see "Putu" here! He's the best and will give you awesome service! I got the grande burrito with rice and it was deliciousness! It's HUGE so hence the "Grande" but I got to take the other half for lunch so Win, Win! ✨️

    Ordered takeout on a weeknight and restaurant was full, which is a good sign! Food was very good, order not exactly right, but I didn’t check it. Takeout was fast, team members were friendly! Thought price was good for food. Would recommend and I will try it again.

    Very busy and loud Friday night, but the service was okay till near the end, and the food was great. We were wanting something smallish to share. Got the Queso Fundito with Steak and were very satisfied. Nice sturdy chips are served with big bowls of fresh mild salsa. They knew we would need the big bowls, it was delicious.

    For 18 years we've stopped here on the way through the state, and have always been glad we did. Being from So. AZ, we're used to good Mex food and this is it. Sports on TV, but not Futból, thus the missing star on atmosphere. ;-)

    Ordered tacos crunchy shells to go. Shells were old and tough. A big disappointment. Unable to eat.

    Usually this place is great. It's our go to Mexican restaurant. However, last time they were pretty packed and the waitress ignored us for most of the dinner. I understand that places get busy. However, I didn't appreciate her trying to take my food before I could pack it up, and her moving my personal belongings.

    First time visit. Chips 'n salsa better than average. Was going to get the street tacos, but decided to get the Mexican chicken pizza because it was unique. It was packed with ingredients and exceeded my expectations. Very, very good and huge. Everyone in our party ordered something different and it was all good.

    Finally! I found a perfect bean burrito without a bunch of stuff added. Food is always fresh & has the perfect tex-mex flavor.

    Very nice low key restaurant. Pleasant waiters and waitresses. Nice place to hang out with a group of friends.

    Don’t sit at the bar if you go. Food was all right but it felt like we were being deliberately ignored when the people sitting next to us were brought more chips and our basket was still empty. Ended up having half a bowl of queso go to waste because we couldn’t get his attention. No refill on drinks either. Food was ok but not worth the money

    Restaurant was clean, waiter was awesome, drinks were great. The food was ok. Not much to say otherwise.

    Went to this place on a whim and it didn't disappoint. The sad thing is that I pass this place all the time and never went in to see what they were all about. Usually, most Mexican food is going to be similar but this food was good because the meats were clearly seasoned and the rice was cooked very almost perfectly. The reason 5 stars weren't given was due to the service not being the best. It was ok but our waiter seemed to be preoccupied training someone so they didn't give all their attention to their tables but the manager was still doing a great job compensating for that and helping out when able. Will definitely go back in the future.

    One of, if not the worst Mexican restaurant I have ever eaten!!! Might have seen our waiter twice and when we finally could get refills on our drinks, someone else had to find him. Our orders were not right, not that it mattered because the food was really good anyway. Very unlikely will I EVER eat here again!!!

    Extremely authentic and absolutely delicious. We had the Pablo’s Pollo Loco and Southwestern Egg Rolls - both were sooooo good. Service was very fast and restaurant was clean. Skinny Margarita was very tasty too!
