    a taco and rice dish in a styrofoam container
    Terry J.

    Just moved to the Forney area from Dallas and happened to see this place next to the grocery store shopping center. It wasn't really what I expected it to look like inside but the food smelled really good and the waitress was very friendly. The menu was pretty extensive so they had a lot to choose from, but I was looking for good tacos for my wife and nachos for myself, so I placed an order to go. My order came out surprisingly fast and I was on my way! Ok, let's start with the positive, the salsa was actually pretty good as other reviews have stated, and I don't usually eat salsa too often but would have it again. Unfortunately, the rest of the food was terrible. My nachos were stale chips covered with cheese and then made microwaved with the taco meat, lettuce and tomatoes added. I know it was microwaved because the styrofoam container was melted on the bottom and around the edges where the cheese got too hot. It looked awful and was not tasty at all. My wife's tacos were at least edible but definitely not the best she's ever had. All in all, not a great experience and probably won't be back.

    Best salsa in Texas. Best sour cream chicken enchiladas! Great food & excellent customer service!

    Ordered the queso blanco and fajita quesadillas, and margarita. The reviews were limited and I was skeptical but decided to try it. The margarita was ok- not as strong as I'd like but not sour. The quesadilla was good, but slightly on the salty side. The queso blanco- delicious!

    Great experience. Food was delicious. Hot sauce was spicy and chunky & the chips came out FRESH & HOT. We will definitely be back.

    Been there once, won't make the same mistake again. Food is greasy, place lacks hygiene.

    Pablo's offers tasty Tex-Mex in a cool, casual atmosphere. Also it is super convenient for Heath…read moreresidents.

    Decided to come here and try the food instead of heading out to our regular spot in Heath for…read moreMexican food. I'm not sure if it was just a bad day to come here or what, but the fact that it was so busy did not match the experience that we had. Although the drinks we got were ok, the tajin rim on my cucumber margarita was barely existent. It was maybe a few flecks of tajin. Then when our food came out, the rice looked completely bland. Jasmine rice with zero flavor is certainly an interesting choice for a Mexican food restaurant. We ordered queso and it just tasted like melted down velveeta with some tomatoes in it. By the time the queso came out, we were out of chips. Instead of bringing us more, we had to ask our server several times for some. Felt out of the ordinary for a restaurant as typically they'll just bring you more chips? The tomatillo sauce was very good on the enchilada, but that was about the most flavor of the entire night. I don't know that I would recommend this place to anyone... just drive 1 minute up the road to Manny's! To top it off, the whole vibe of the place feels weird. Extremely upscale on the outside, but as soon as you walk in it's just odd. Additionally, two enchilada plates and queso with two margaritas came out to $80. This was extremely expensive for the quality of food that we received.
