    Pablo Picante

    What's the best way to cheer for a Lucha Libre-masked burrito shop (a tiny walk-in with no seating) on the corner of Baggot and Pembroke streets? I could pick up my guitarra and sing about the deeply satisfying smells of Mexican seasonings and carne asada that follow hungry walkers halfway down the block... Then there's the long lines, the loyal fans, and the small (but perfectly formed) menu of gorgeous (but pricey at €6 - 7 a pop) and grande burritos. Note: the classic steak is as delicious as the ensalada options, but really the only way to know is to eat them all... mmmm. Oh, can't forget to mention the sense of fun in store and online -someone with a deep love of Spanglish, Mexican wrestling and tasty food is behind the mask here. Right, that's the details, now to write that review...

    The idea itself of bringing some Californian taste to the sunshine and burrito deserted land of Dublin seems to deserve 5 stars, however, I'm trying to focus more on the food here. The Good: + quality burritos + fast and friendly service + not too pricey for DS (Dublin standards) Yes, you can get a decent burrito take-out experience in Dublin, that's the good news. They offer a whole range of burritos you would also find in one of the endless joints in Cali. I tried the "Sunny San Diego" and didn't really miss anything in particular. Good stuff! The Bad: - only a few seatings (4 or 5) - limited selection - no breakfast burrito (okay, that's my personal favorite) Totally recommended if you're craving for a decent burrito around D2 and D4!

    I grab lunch at Pablo's every couple weeks or so when I have a craving for Mexican (and couldn't be bothered walking the extra 5 minutes to Little Ass Burrito on Dawson). They're ok for fast food - quick, efficient and friendly service with generous portion sizes and plenty of salsa options to suit every heat preference. I always get the "super picante" salsa, and it has a really nice kick. What I don't like is that they don't seem to bother to drain their meats, and my burrito bowls often come sitting in a pool of liquid. I understand that there will be some juices from the salsas, etc, but this is literally swimming. Where it's all coming from is a mystery...

    A good place to get an authentic Mexican meal! The food is fresh, however everything consists of a bit of spice so beware!!

    Anyone who is familiar with the Chipotle chain from the US will recognize this immediately -- same…read morestyles of burritos, same meat choices, same salsas. Even the font on the menu looks the same. Now, given that Chipotle isn't available in Dublin and good Mexican food is tough to come by (save Cafe Azteca), that's not at all a bad thing. This place is open late (11pm weekdays; midnight Fri-Sat), reasonably priced, and oh-so delicious! Order at the counter: pick the style, meat, and extras you want. It will be prepared right in front of you and then off you go with a little bundle of deliciousness. I had brown rice, black beans, and barbacoa and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The service is great and friendly as well...really nice feel here. They had a 2-for-1 promotion running and allowed me to partake even though I hadn't printed out the voucher (environmentalism for the win!). To top it off, they have Cholula hot sauce available (where oh where can you find this in Dublin?). And if your appetite for American knockoffs is still running strong, grab dessert at Eddie Rocket's across the street -- we did!

So, I decided to give it a shot on Friday as I wanted something a little different. I'm allergic to hot sauce so I went for a medium heat veggie burrito and it was good! Quite big portion. The staff aren't the smiley, happy people I would expect working at a restaurant like this but I'm gonna say that they were maybe having a bad day? Maybe it was the weather? Who knows. There's not much customer seating available so I had to take mine to go. Probably best, though, it's a messy aul thing to chow down on and sitting beside some randoms while I try to graciously gobble this down wouldn't have been my idea of fun! When I finally got around to eating it, I was very happy with it. It was huge, very tasty and filling. If the staff were a little more friendly and there was more seating, this experience could have gotten a 5*!

    I stayed on a very negative impression with the last burrito I had, and it actually disgusted me…read morefrom burritos, so when my boyfriend told me he was in a mood to eat that, I was rather thinking "why are you doing this to me ?!" than "oh yes I can't wait to have it !". They don't have any maize flour tortilla, so, a bit disappointed, I took the burrito box. It felt at first like a punition to me, since the last one I had at pablo picante was disgusting and I really did not wanted to live that again. But I decided to give it a try, maybe this one would be better ? I took one with marinated chicken, cilantro and lime rice, kidney beans, and avocado ("verde") sauce, when it came, the box was looking a bit small and they were a thick green sauce covering all of it. But as soon as I tried I was very pleased by its taste. The green sauce was really good and not sickly at all. The meat was great and actually it was very very good. An awesome surprise, it really reconciled me with burritos ! If I had only one critical to do, it would be that I would have add a bit of cilantro and lime to my rice. Besides that, the staff was nice, the place is really cool and the music is good too.

Love the grilled tortilla and ingredients are all fresh. I hope to eat-in one day, so far we've only had delivery and it's always fast and delicious. I love their take on burritos, the roasted sweet potato is such a nice addition and sets it apart from a lot of other burrito places. Their Guacamole is amazing, super fresh with chunks of avocado and lots of flavor. Their nachos are also nice, lots of melted Jack cheese and toppings. Ordering on Deliveroo is a bit annoying, though. Wish there were a break down of ingredients so you could easily choose what you want and don't want, instead you have to pick from a very long list of various combinations. I think they could organize the menu on the site a bit better, and Deliveroo should have an option to include notes for the restaurant. We always have to call after we order to specify some changes, but they are always very quick to answer and happy to do it, and the order always arrives perfect! Great service and fab food, love this place!

For a very affordable €4.15 you get an 8" (a.k.a. normal-person-sized) tortilla which it's actually possible to finish without rolling yourself out the door. They still put in everything you ask for, just in smaller amounts. Very, very smart idea for anyone who doesn't want leftovers and doesn't feel like exploding their stomach, not today, thanks. I had mine with chicken and salsa #4. Chicken tasted very nice, marinated and grilled, and the salsa left my tastebuds glowing for about 10 minutes afterward. Just perfect. Check in on your mobile before you place your order, they have a 10% off check-in deal!

    Another excellent burrito bar in Dublin…read more The atmosphere is grand. They are friendly, charming, and ask how your day was. If you eat in, they will come by and make sure everything is to your satisfaction. In the off-chance it is not, they seem willing to rectify it. The ambience music is cool. While the seating is compact, it is comfortable enough - and it doesn't take that long to stuff the oversized purchase into your gab. Each time I come here, I order the same thing. A steak burrito, black beans, lots of cheese and lots of the hottest sauce. They often throw in a few peppers for me, just to be kind. They definitely are not mean when it comes to adding extras. When I say extra cheese, they do comply. Also, they add more than one scoop of meat. Usually a scoop and a third. The only complaint is they don't accept laser/visa. I dislike carrying any amount of currency in Dublin - so this is a minor inconvenience.
