We have eaten at every Mexican food spot except Pablito's until today. He has all the standards one would want including a great Quesa Birria. Great flavor consume to dip into. The carnitas burrito was great and the rice nice and soft and dense how I like it. Fast service and so many options. This will be my new go to when downtown. Now the surprise was the green sauce. This is not your typical liquid green sauce. This is an avocado jalapeño cream type sauce that was amazing. Prices were what I would expect, nothing crazy and you get a good sized burrito for the price.

The food was amazing. Five stars for sure! The kid and I got smash burgers and added avocado. They…read morewere BOMB!! We also got fries with our meal. Next time we will share one. This is a huge burger. The only thing I didn't care for was we were asked if we wanted to add fries, which we did. Only to find out afterwards that it added $6.00 to the meal. No where on the menu did it show that. I just felt that should have been more transparent. Hubby got Al pastor taco plate and he was such a happy camper! We will definitely be back.

Came for the burger :)…read more My husband and I live in the East Bay and wanted to go on a lil drive. We decided on Murphy's for the Watering Hole burger which did not disappoint. We ordered 2 Double Cheese Burgers, the Broccoli Bacon Ranch Salad and an order of French Fries that included a side of ranch. All of what we ordered was delicious. The burgers come with double patties and are grilled along with the onions, the bun lightly toasted, soft and sweet and included a smear of 1,000 dressing. The burgers have 2 different types of cheese, fresh crispy shredded lettuce, pickles and sliced ripe tomato. It is the perfect combination and proportions of all ingredients. The Broccoli Bacon Ranch salad was not like anything I have had before and was a nice surprise to our taste buds. The salad included fresh bell peppers both yellow and red. It also had pickled onions, sunflower seeds, bacon and blue cheese that was all tossed together with ranch dressing which made it very convenient and easy to eat. Last but not least, the French Fries. They included a nice seasoning on the outside for a crispy texture and a creamy inside which I love. I liked the fact that they serve the fries with homemsde ranch and I didnt even have to ask for it...it's the little things for me. We sat inside to dine, I enjoyed seeing what others were eating, of course lots of burgers but also ribs, pasta, chicken sandwiches, salads and even cheese cake for dessert. I like that the menu offered a variety of options and brought great value for the quality and care that you can taste in every bite! I did not notice any issues with service as I saw other reviews reported. I would say that the inside, although cozy was a bit loud while others socialize. I think it was simply the high ceilings that carry the noise. The outside seating area is another option and is very nice as it's next to a stream which we would have chosen if it hadn't been 57° outside that day.

Basically I got too scare to even try to eat there, after reading other yelper's review. But afternoon, my husband and I went for beer, I have soda. Their beer is good. 1) Decor is very nice. They invested a lot 2) One of the bathroom, is interesting. (will show in photo) 3) Outdoor seating is very nice and next to a small creek, Very wonderful and relaxing area to hang out with family or friend. 4) they only has ice-cream bar in one small refrigerator area, no regular ice-cream, I did not eat.

The menu a delightful selection that stands out significantly compared to many of the surrounding eateries. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or a modern twist, there's something for everyone. I was particularly impressed with the service. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The food itself was delicious, showcasing quality and creativity that felt more similar to a higher-end restaurant than what you would expect in a small town. Given the limited options nearby, it's refreshing to have such a great place to return to.

It took a while to get any server's attention, and we finally got our food about an hour later. We asked for eggs over medium, but they came out over easy with extremely runny yolks. Ordered the carne asada without bell peppers and extra cheese, but it came with bell peppers and no extra cheese. Everything was solidly just OK. Ordered one chocolate chip pancake and it was pale on one side, brown on the other. Receipt said it cost $2.06 to add chocolate chips, making the entire, singular pancake about $10. You pay at the register, but none of the servers could be found by the register. Overall, it felt like we were overpromised with our food, under-served, and disappointed with this experience.

Even though it was late on a Tuesday the patio was still busy. We got a nice table outside because it was a beautiful day and we had our GSD with us. Shared the beet salad and the chicken burrito and also a kids hamburger with fries for the pup ( fries were for us). PROTIP: We took the option to split each dish by the kitchen and although it cost a couple bucks more, you get a little more of everything! Beet salad was solid with perfect allocations of all ingredients. I would say it was a bit heavy on the dressing but I like minimal dressing and my partner said it was perfect so there you go. The burrito was "wet" and delicious! Lots of flavor fresh ingredients and very saucy. Only thing it lacked was a little heat. Ask for tapatio if you like a little spice. The hamburger by the way, was larger than a normal hamburger you get on the kiddie menu. And the fries were piping hot and fresh. Our dog loved the burger as he should and we downed all the fries. Highly recommend and will be back!

He cussed at the guests for turning the jukebox volume up a bit. He said there are hotel guests that paid for their room upstairs. First of all anyone who stays there on a busy night like that knows what they are getting themselves into. We are paying guests as well. Second the guests screaming for the game on were 10x louder then the music. We met some guests that were staying there and they were in a group text involving his comments about a certain ethnic group not leaving tips. I'm like ok. We tipped him well thank you but after that comment several of us walked out. I can assure you we won't be back there again.

The hostess seated our group of four at a table where one unlucky soul had to wedge themselves into a corner spot against the wall--basically a designated "time-out" chair for adults. Cozy? Sure. Comfortable? Absolutely not. We waited a while for our server, but eventually we ordered and the food and drinks came out. I went with the Blue Salad and a raspberry iced tea because I was still recovering from my Thanksgiving food coma and wanted something light. Well... light it was. Flavorful? Not so much. The tomatoes were mushy, the dressing didn't taste like bleu cheese, and honestly the whole thing made me wish they had just committed to a classic iceberg wedge and called it a day. Everyone else ordered breakfast and actually liked theirs, so maybe salads are just not their calling. I did have to ask for a coffee refill for my daughter, and my iced tea was apparently a one-time-only limited-edition item because the waitress never came back to offer more drinks or check on us. Overall? Let's just say I'm strongly considering not coming back--unless they relocate that corner seat. No one deserves that fate.
