Bartender arrived ordered a round of drinks for the outside seating.

I am 20% tipper. But not this time! We come to this area at least 2 times a year not coming back to this place, very sad Hope you hire better staff.

After checking out of the campground I decided to have some lunch before my drive out. This…read morerestaurant is conveniently located where check-in is taken place. The building also has a gift shop and bar. It is cozy throughout the building, specifically, a cabin feel. The staff at the counter were very helpful and patient. I ordered a kale salad with chicken. It was a hefty serving. I did ask for extra balsamic dressing at the time of my order and I'm glad I did since I had a lot of greens. Everything was fresh and the candied pecans added in were delicious and added a nice crunch to the salad. I ordered a side of sweet potato fries and they were perfecto! It was crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. I enjoyed my lunch out on the patio deck facing north east. I had the view of the hills and got to watch people drive into or leave Borrego Springs. Some of the planks on the floors and side rails were starting to show their age or had been damaged. Overall, a great experience at the joint. I look forward to having another bite at the restaurant when I camp here again in 2025.

The food itself was incredibly disappointing, for how utterly expensive it was it was quite honestly some of the worst food we have ever had. The prices online did not match what we were charged and even if the food was half as cheap as it was it still would have been a bad deal. I'm sure drunk people find this food acceptable but be warned, this is not a good place to eat.

The place is decorated with all kinds of random quirky stuff, totally my kinda vibe. The pizza was good the beer better and the company the best! Definitely a spot worth making the trek out for!

We sat outside by the fountain, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. We didn't realize until later that we arrived just half an hour before closing, but the staff made us feel completely welcome, and there was no rush. We ordered two margaritas (which were fantastic) and the kids got their drinks. My daughter had the carne asada fries, my son had the tamale, and the adults went with enchiladas and tacos. Everything was delicious, and we all left feeling completely full and happy. We were so impressed that we ordered a second round of margaritas, and the highlight of the meal was definitely the salsa--spicy, flavorful, and full of character. Overall, Pablito's is a great go-to spot where you can feel right at home, enjoy amazing food, and experience excellent service. We'll definitely be back!

The restaurant should stop using a system that makes reservations on a day. They are not actually open. The system sent me several reminders to make sure I would get there on time. It was very disappointing to find they were not open and you have to scramble to eat somewhere else in town. You will see the owner is angry I reported this happened to me. I have stayed here before, and it has some big points like a nice setting, though the place itself is a little down on its luck and needs some love and care before I would stay here again. One other thing that would help is not having the owner post snide comments on yelp when experiences at the hotel and restaurant are sub-par.
