Pros: we were seated quickly, no wait. Our waiter was nice and checked on us often, and the restaurant is decorated nicely. My daughter enjoyed her salad.
Cons: the music blaring from the the kitchen competing with the regular music playing in the restaurant was awful. The kitchen took a very long time for our food, which was fairly simple stuff, quesadilla, rice, tacos and a salad. The chips were a little on the done side.
A few tweeks to the back of the house operation and this restaurant could greatly improve itself.

I read the past reviews before coming to this place and almost decided to not give it a chance. However , I told myself that sometimes you don’t judge by what you see or read and give the place a try. It did not disappoint. The host was very nice and our waiter always checked on us. Chips and salsa were very good as well. Low Prices on a lot of the dishes unless you want seafood. I assume the previous customers that have left a negative review on this place either have weak taste buds or come in when this place gets busy and are very impatient. Don’t judge based off reviews like I almost did. Go try it out! It’s good!

We’ve heard so many mixed reviews so we tried it out ourselves. The place is huge. We were greeted upon our entrance and sat immediately. Each table was given chips and salsa. The salsa was full of flavor and the chips had a lime seasoning on them. We each ordered a drink from the bar and water to go with it. We never got our waters. The food came out fairly quick. My boyfriend asked for another drink when we received our food. He never got the drink until the end of the meal, along with our bill.
Our food was simply wonderful. The portions were fairly large. The place has a lot of potential. The only downside was the service from our waitress. (And I say that because everyone else was on point) She was nice, just not attentive. If you want a beverage with your meal, you’re better off sitting at the bar.

This Mexican Restaurant is remodeled with a modern dining area and bar. The staff if friendly and the food is excellent. Handicap parking is available and easy access. There is a bar inside and a small seating area outside. There is a kid menu. High chair are available.

Beautiful location with lots and lots of dining seating available and accommodations for all sizes of groups. New business opened as of beginning of 2022, visited on opening week (worst experience I've had at any restaurant) and have visited 4 times since (last visit on August 4th) and still is not good. The service is fast but not friendly at all, no hi or anything (very ackward), and their music is either off or very loud (even more ackward). The food is very on and off, one of the worst places to be like this (fajitas are the only best thing we've had here). Place is well kept and clean and parking lot on site with lots available. We gave them many chances and introduced family to Don Pablos and nobody has liked it as there are a lot of other Mexican restaurants to choose from and Don Pablo's does not compare. DO NOT RECOMMEND for their food/service.. just for the look of the business.
