We found a wonderful Mexican restaurant that has been here for a couple of years but wasn't on our radar. We haven't been in this section of the strip center since this was Dickey's BBQ several years ago. We've now been here twice by ourselves and then brought family on Saturday for our third visit in a week and a half. We were tickled that the family enjoyed lunch on Saturday as well. Tacos Don Pablo just hits all points for us from excellent, friendly service, ice cold draught beer, cocktails, margaritas, table service, authentic Mexican food, and affordable prices. Another surprise and positive is that they serve a reduced number of Danny's Mexican ice cream directly from a smaller Danny's freezer on-site. Speaking of lunch, they offer a lunch menu Monday - Friday from 11:00a - 3:00p. or order off the regular menu. Parking isn't a problem with the large shared strip center parking.Our first server here was Buky, who was amazing, and he helped make our first visit so truly enjoyable. Since then, we have found all the server friendly, glad to answer questions, efficient, attentive without being intrusive, and removed used dishware quickly. Another positive was that the music was at a volume where we could have a nice conversation.We enjoy the complementary salsa and chips. We haven't ordered an appetizer yet since we're always so full after our meals. We've now enjoyed the Cameron's a la Diablo twice, Chili Colorado, Quesabirria Tacos, and the Carnitas dinner. The dinners are so good that we keep reordering an entree one of us had previously, so we're not rushing through the menu sampling different entrees.I love Flan and try to order at every Mexican restaurant we visit. It was no different here as I've had the Flan twice now. Both times, the Flan was fresh and creamy, and Taco Don Pablo's serves a generous amount of carmel sauce on their Flan, which I love.We're both happy with Taco Don Pablo's and hope the food quality and service continue to be as satisfying as during our last few visits.

This Mexican food restaurant is located in a little strip mall just off of Perry Crossing. There is a decent sized parking lot that it shares with the other businesses in the mall. The returant has a decent sized dining area with booths and tables. There is Mexican music playing throughout the dining area and there are a couple of televisions around the area that had sports playing while I was there. You will also see a Danny's ice cream cooler and a full bar in the restaurant too. The restaurant was clean and tidy.This is a traditional Mexican restaurant, so of course you will get some complimentary chips and salsa to nibble on while you wait for your food. They have a large menu full of your Mexican food favs including, fajitas, burritos, tacos, enchiladas, salads and nachos. They also have Mexican ice cream and other Mexican desserts on the menu. For the adults that like to indulge, they offer some very savory drinks including margaritas, daiquiris, tequila, beer, and wine.I ordered the Cubano Torta, which came with fries. It took about 10 minutes for me to get my food and it was fresh, hot and pretty good. The torta was missing something though, I just could not put my finger on it. It was a lot of food and I had to get a box to take some of it home because I could not finish it. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed my lunch here and recommend checking this place out.

AUTHENTIC and OUTSTANDING! Based on the Yelp reviews, my colleagues and I stopped here for lunch today and it was fantastic! We had chicken lunch fajitas w/ authentic corn tortillas and quesadillas. The chips and homemade salsa were fresh and tasty. Everything was authentic, made with love and the service was excellent! The ambiance was comfortable and they were very busy at lunch so word is out that this is a destination for great food! MUST STOP!

First time eating here...Free chips and salsa w good salsa and 3 different sauces at table, green, orange and red(like a roasted Chipotle my fav). Good amount of spice to them.Atmosphere is nice with tables and booths, full service bar and catchy music...good vibes, open kitchen style...Service good!Food...they have tacos, quesidillas, Nachos, menudo some days and tamales...I am differing to Tacos w cilantro onion...of course my go to al pastor, birria, cecina and throw in a campechano(not on menu but they had steak and chorizo so I asked, they obliged)Tacos were on point and Delicious. Pastor was Seared yet moist and flavorful, birria was as expected meat was tasty, campechano chorizo was homemade possibly and tasty, cecina was my least favorite but still good...Will return and nice job

Service and food were quick. Had a shrimp burrito and the food was OK. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but to avoid eating the paper wrap, I removed it and the burrito promptly fell apart. Contents of the burrito were a bit "watery", and it could have used a couple of quick minutes on the grill. Shrimp burrito and a soft drink with a tip was $20, which seemed a bit high.Overall just OK, and not sure I'll be back. Wasn't bad, just not sure it would be worth going out of my way to go back

Came here tonight based on Yelp reviews. Great Mexican food! I had the birria street tacos;amazing! The meat was so tender! The salsa that came with nachos has a great flavor. BONUS: they have several flavors of hard scoop ice cream to choose from for dessert once you're done with your meal! Terrific meal and great service! I would certainly recommend!

Usually my best spot to go to. Called ahead for my birthday dinner because usually this place is always a go and always get it to go whenever I order but usually have to go there and order the food unless they never get your order right over the phone due to language barrier. Went here with my boyfriend July 1st and he called ahead to try to do a special birthday celebration for me. Let's just say it was t even close. Sat down and ordered two daiquiris and they were in the regular small soda cups. We asked to get bigger and they said you had to order a margarita so we ordered that instead. We asked before he made them if they can put in bigger cup since it's always 10.99$ just for one margarita and don't mind paying more for bigger size. They yelled at me and my boyfriend and said "we're wasting product" or "you're just wasting my products" as the manager said. Had a waitress who spoke no English and couldn't even order esquites, which is street corn. The picture on the menu showed 3 street corn cut on half so made 6 and they refused to do the picture but tried to charge me 8.99$ for the cups each. We ended up just leaving and will not come back unless it's to go. Would not eat in. Hopefully you have a better experience.
