Best Don Pablos by Stacey W. at InsiderPages

With the river, service and food I would have to say this is the best Don Pablos out of the whole chain. You have to love the chips and salsa made fresh. I have not found a better chicken fajita and well as queso dip. I always leave very fully and very satisfied!
Margaritas and affordable Mexican fare in a campy, family-friendly atmosphere.

In Short
Bright colors and big booths make this quick-service, sit-down Mexican restaurant a cheery choice for group outings. The traditional menu--including classic enchiladas, soft and crispy tacos, mesquite-grilled shrimp, sizzling fajita platters and made-from-scratch salsas--features lunch specials, create-your-own combinations and to-go options for more fast-paced patrons. Tequila makes its appearance in house margaritas and cocktails. Bringing the little ones? They're catered to with a kid-friendly, Tex-Mex menu.

If you like the tradional Mexican food ( not authenic) this is the place. It is situated right on the Ohio River and has a wonderful view of the city. I suggest going on a nice night to really enjoy the experience. It is also kid friendly with a kid menu. I thought the prices were a bit high for the fahitas which I did not think had enough chicken nor sides to go in.
Reheated enchiladas?

Are you kidding me? Stuff you buy in your grocer's freezer will taste better. It's prepared the same way: comes frozen on a truck and gets reheated. Even the enchiladas. I can't think of anything more disgusting than thawed enchiladas. Taco Bell has more authentic food.
- Pros: Nice river view

Typical franchise restaurant at its worst. The service is totally dependant upon which high school waiter/waitress happens to be working your table. The wait is too long for bland psuedo Mexican food. Order a beer and it will arrive well after you've received your appetizer.
What a joke

This is not, by any stetch, Mexican food. In fact, it's not even good food - mexican or not. I am always amazed how the masses will flock to sub par food and service just from some flashy advertising. How people can continue to think it's good after eating there, well, I'm just plain dumbfounded.
- Cons: Bad Chips, Poor Service, Bland Food

My fiance and i have been to don pablo's on several occasions... the service is terrible... have to stop other waiters/waitress to get a refill on drinks... the food taste processed! I get better mexican food out of the freezer section at Krogers! We were seated in the non-smoking section, and the smoke from the smoking section was blowing on us!
- Cons: smoke
