Our group wanted something other than seafood for a change and popped into Pablo's. Service was fantastic. Several of us tried different items from the menu and all of them were great. The guacamole is homemade and worth the price. No one in our group tried any of the margaritas so can't rate those. Recommend the steak chimachanga and taco... More

What a great surprise in a small resort town. One does not expect a Mexican place to be top quality in resort town. This one has unique dishes and the presentation is good. We can highly recommend the Avacodo Loco with shrimp. It was so good we wished we had gotten two instead of sharing one. It is almost enough... More

Our party (6 adults, 1 child, 2 infants) received the same attentive treatment that a couple on a date would have received. With 2 very noisy babies and harried parents and extended family members, our server, Sergio, remained cool, calm and collected.

The quality of the food beats the price! It's fresh and you can taste it. The margaritas are to die for (my mouth waters just thinking of them!) and the owners are absolutely wonderful. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is beautiful. I'm defiantly going to be showing up in this joint more often than I should.

We have a new favorite Mexican restaurant. We had Sangria margaritas, enchiladas, and burrito and it was all great. Highly recommend.

You are usually greeted by Fernando or his father. This local meeting spot is sooooooo Fernandina. Friendly, great food and awesome drinks and Margaritas. We were there again last night. Fernando told us about the special leg of lamb fajitas he had prepared. "They are fantastic. Try them. If you don't like them, I will make you something else" He... More

We loved everything about this place. The brick courtyard was the perfect outdoor setting for sipping a beer or margarita. The service was great and the chile relleno was the best I've ever had. The chimichangas were great also. It was all good!

This is close on the best Mexican restaurant that I have been to. Staff were excellent and actually came across as sincere. The setting out the back is lovely. All food that we had was very good - i'd recommend the stuffed peppers.

We tried Pablo's for a pre Cinco de Mayo night out. We decided to have a margarita, and if they were good, we would stay for dinner. We were very happy to see an Organic version offered, which was made with fresh lime juice instead of the pre made mix. The splash of Grand Marnier was just right! The salsa... More
