Reviews for Don Pablos tacos & tequila new bern in New Bern, NC

Overall, both myself and my husband truly enjoyed the kind services as well as the food and drinks. My husband?s only... recommendation is that the crabs when boiled needs to be boiled in seasonings so that the crab meat has taste! He enjoyed theshrimp, calamari, and scallops. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and timely! Read more

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 timessince (last visit on August 4th) and still is not good. The service is fast but not friendly at all, no hi or anything (veryackward), and their music is either off or very loud (even more ackward). The food is very on and off, one of the worst placesto 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 lotsavailable. We gave them many chances and introduced family to Don Pablos and nobody has liked it as there are a lot of otherMexican restaurants to choose from and Don Pablo's does not compare. DO NOT RECOMMEND for their food/service.. just for the lookof the business. Read more

The tropical ceviche and margaritas are the only things I eat here. I CRAVE them! I eat the ceviche as a dip and use the... complimentary chips. So good together. Daughter likes the queso. I've never had fantastic service but we got through it, justa few mishaps here and there on the right sodas for my girls etc. Make sure you get a booth. Much more comfortable than thechairs. I love the decor. Casual atmosphere. Never have had to wait too long for a table. Read more

This is my third time here and it gets worse every time. Not coming back. Waitress named ?Kayla? gave us our food and 5 minutes... later we saw her put a backpack on, grab her keys, and drive away. Never saw a waitress again after this. Had to walk around tofind someone who worked here to get a box. This place is so empty anyone could dine and dash. One of the tables took out theirphone to play music because the restaurant stopped their playlist and it sounded like mortuary. Also the salsa tastes likestraight ketchup with oregano. Read more

I was not impressed with this place. When I arrived I had to wait for someone to seat me for 10 minutes. The place was empty!... Let me also say, McDonald's, we found all the salt missing from your fries! Every item of food was so salty we almostdehydrated. Hope you get better. Read more

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. Weeach ordered a drink from the bar and water to go with it. We never got our waters. The food came out fairly quick. My boyfriendasked for another drink when we received our food. He never got the drink until the end of the meal, along with our bill. Ourfood was simply wonderful. The portions were fairly large. The place has a lot of potential. The only downside was the servicefrom our waitress. (And I say that because everyone else was on point) She was nice, just not attentive. If you want a beveragewith your meal, you?re better off sitting at the bar. Read more

Been wanting to try this place for months, but man, what a disappointment. Waited 5 minutes in the front to be seated while... staff zipped around without even saying hello. Finally I just walked in the main part and asked if we just seat ourselves. Wastold no, host would be with me shortly (no one else was waiting). Finally was sat. Ordered chicken chimichanga and a hardchicken taco. Waited about 20 minutes to get food. Food was pretty awful. The "salad" they serve with the main dish was brownand mushy, the black beans were watery and tasteless. The chicken tasted boiled and bland. The "hard" taco was mushy, tiny bitof cheese, and nasty lettuce. Service was ok, hence 2 stars. Oh and luckily I brought cash as they charge an additional 4% forany card transactions. Decor was beautiful, but I didn't come for the visuals. Too many other places in this area that have muchbetter tasting food. Read more
