Pablito&#x27;s Tacos

Is this location open for dine-in? Will they accommodate a party of 10?

Yes they do have dine-in and the largest party i’ve seen enter the dining area was a party of 6 but i’m sure they’d take 10 as well, of course it’ll take a bit longer.

First, their cafe de olla is absolutely delicious. This remains one of the only places where I genuinely enjoy ordering cafe de olla. Second, their food is incredible. They serve excellent portions, everything tastes fresh, and the food is just so good. I've had their taquitos and chilaquiles, and both were delicious. The only downside is that every time I've come, there has usually been a bit of a wait, especially because the restaurant itself is pretty small with limited seating. The inside is cute, but small, so we usually end up sitting outside. This is where their Monrovia location does have the advantage because it has much more space. Parking can also be tricky. Good luck finding a spot close enough where you don't have to walk far. We usually end up parking in the residential area around the corner. That said, the staff are wonderful and always try to be as accommodating as possible despite how busy they are. Highly recommend this place if you're okay with possibly waiting a bit for seating.

But unfortunately, they were really unfriendly & understaffed and the waiter/bartender was extremely bothered we were there and seemed very overwhelmed. I don't know who Celia is but maybe get more staff in the kitchen and a hostess and more waitress/waiters. We went in Saturday Valentines night dinner right before 6pm and found parking to be easy and should have taken that as a sign but figured we get better service. NOPE! The parking not is just really small and the people sitting had ordered and committed to staying I guess. Keep reading and you'll get my drift! Honestly, We assumed it would be a great night romantic dinner. Then, we walked in and felt so neglected. No hostess to greet or seat you. The bus man or waiter said wait here and cleaned a table when 3 were available. It looks like the three employees were doing everything and at the same time doing nothing! It was comical at first. He sat us finally and then we ordered. Appetizers and a Molcajete and two nonalcoholic drinks. By now 32mins passed. No chips & salsa. No nothing... we should have just left. But we were lazy to leave elsewhere with no reservations on Valentine day. He brought me a drink from the bar like if I ordered it, I hate to say he might have memory issues. Then he noticed we still don't have our drinks and he had to ask again what I ordered. Now 50mins passed and at another 15 mins the main course came before the appetizers were served so I cancelled it. It just seems like they didn't care for anyone else but the people at the bar. Ppl were just walking in and ended up leaving or seating themselves. Majority left and they didn't even notice! Not welcoming at all and as for the food. I feel like everything was previously frozen as the chicken and meat was very chewy-leather like. The cheese was cold. And just grateful that we didn't get sick because it wasn't cooked all the way. When I go into a restaurant, I expect good service and quality food. I unfortunately won't be returning. Such a shame because this place has western character straight out of a saloon and can't speak for the drinks as we didn't even eat our entire meal and wanted to get the hell out. Do better because this could be a cute hangout spot!

This taco spot is a personal favorite of mine for its exceptional food. The asada consistently impresses with its flavors, and the tortillas boast a perfect texture. I would rate the food quality at a solid 100%. Unfortunately, the service significantly detracts from the experience. The man at the counter often appears in a bad mood, treating customers poorly. This issue initially led me to switch to takeout orders, as the onsite experience is unmatched. During a visit over Thanksgiving weekend, the same individual was working. His curt manner made us so uncomfortable that we decided to wait outside after ordering. When our order was ready, his dismissive attitude persisted. My partner's attempt to order a Michelada was met with a condescending response, despite visible ingredients for the drink, resulting in him settling for a beer. Later, when I ordered additional tacos, the man's demeanor remained unwelcoming. Despite this, I later purchased a bottle of their excellent sauce, though the interaction was as uncomfortable as the previous ones. I love their food, but it's challenging to support a business that makes me feel disrespected. Fortunately, there's a new location in Studio City and pop-up stands, so I can still enjoy their offerings. In conclusion, The food is impressive, but the awful customer interactions and customer service shadows it. read more

This place is amazing. I ordered the Steak Lomo and it was tender and full of flavor. The combination of onions and tomatoes with the steak and seaming is to die for. They brought out a green sauce in a jar and it is added a little heat and took it from a 10 to a 15. This place is a must try! It is my first time here and it for sure won't be my last! Well I was honest, my first time was not my last, but I wish it was. I went back tonight and got he Steak Lomo, and it was horrible. It tasted like straight ginger. That was the only flavor I could distinguish. I literally through the whole plate away. I ordered the Steak Lomo with pesto and they were out of pesto. So I got the Steak Lomo that I loved so much the first time. I don't know what happened to this place, but I will not be back. It tasted like a bad Chinese dish.

To date, I had tried Peruvian food three times. I found it to be kind of bland and not my style. So, when my coworker suggested this spot for lunch, I was skeptical. I am glad I gave it one more try, because this was delicious.I ordered the steak saltado. Coworker ordered the seafood saltado. I LOVE spicy food, and while the green sauce is tasty, it has no kick to it at all. The dude working the register hooked me up with the habanero salsa that the cook makes for the kitchen staff. That stuff really slapped. My food took a while to come out, but it was so tender and drenched in juice. I am not a fan of soggy french fries, but the flavor of the meat juice made it acceptable. The people were extremely friendly, and the ambiance of the restaurant is very fun. Tip: They don't serve alcohol, but you can go to the liquor store next door and bring it in with you. read more

Went last week with a friend and got the ceviche and chicharron sandwich. Both had multiple layers of flavor as opposed to traditional places where it's just either sweet, salty, sour, spicy. The sandwich had this nice crusty bread that was soft when you bit into it, then you got this sweetness from the sweet potato and the salty/crunchy taste from the pork, all top off with the delicious sauce. I was blown away on my first bite. The ceviche itself was really really good. This one had the sweet/tart from the marinade they used for the fish as well as a spicy component too which I don't find too often in ceviches at peruvian restaurants. Traditional or not, it's damn good. I went when they only had the food truck but I am definitely coming back when their restaurant opens to see what other concoctions they whip up. read more

I recently visited Pablito's in Burbank after not having it in years. The last time was back when they were based in Downtown LA. The nostalgia was real, and I was excited to try it again. I tried their regular tacos, which were just okay. Nothing special, but nothing offensive either. However, the fish tacos missed the mark. They didn't taste fresh, more like something out of a freezer box. Not terrible, but definitely not what I was hoping for. It lacked that crispness and flavor punch you want in a fish taco. That said, I'm not writing this place off. There's still a lot on the menu I haven't tried like their pizza and other meals. So I'll definitely give it another shot. Just wouldn't recommend the fish tacos based on this visit. Still, the place has potential. Hoping for better luck next time. read more

This address on Burbank Blvd has been 3 different things in the past 5 years but now finally we hope Pablitos will stay forever. This food is nothing short of completely delicious. They currently use their food truck parked out front as their kitchen while they rebuild the inside but you would never guess that there isn't a full kitchen in operation. My wife and I had ceviche and a pork sandwich and fettuccine with lomo beef (a special cut). Well just wow. The most awesome ceviche we've ever tasted.

For an enticing twist on great-tasting Mexican cuisine, Pablito's is the go-to spot. Having visited a couple of times, I can attest that the food consistently exceeds expectations. During my last visit, I opted for the tortas, and they were not only one of the most delicious I've had but also among the messiest. While the staff on that particular day seemed somewhat disengaged, I'm willing to chalk it up to a possible off day. Despite the service hiccup, the delectable food remains a major draw, making Pablito's well worth another visit. P.S. The torta was exceptionally messy, so be prepared to thoroughly wash your hands before continuing with your day. read more

Can we have a moment of silence for how great the food is here. Very fresh and every bite is packed with flavor and if you want to top it off get a side of sauce to really amp up the flavor!

Flames shooting up out of the pan to get a nice sear and to see everyone taking their time to make sure you love your food is the best!

I drove from Orange County to come to Pablitos Kitchen. It was a 2 1/2 hr drive... BOY was it WORTH IT!! I felt like a stuffed ham by the end of the visit. I had the Beef Saltado, a ceviche - Ban Mi de Camaron and a dessert. I even took my wife home a Chicken Saltado. The food was well beyond phenomenal, perfectly balance - exploding with flavor and a real treat all around. I couldn't shut up about it the next day at work. You have to come to Pablito's - it will definitely leave a big impression on your taste buds read more

Pablito's Tacos is definitely worth a visit! The tacos are delicious, albeit a little pricey. The tacos are delicious, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients in each bite. The carne asada was tender and well-seasoned and served on soft, fresh tortillas that complement the fillings just right. The Lomo Saltado is a standout as well - the beef is tender, and the dish is full of savory goodness with crispy fries mixed in. Casual vibe, friendly service, and great flavors make it a solid spot. read more

As I was waiting to pickup someone from the airport their flight got delayed. I decided to look for some Mexican food. I saw pictures of their tacos and said to myself I have to try it. I walk in and the staff was friendly. When I saw they serve Mullitas I had to go for it. It was so delicious. The meat was delicious tender, juicy, and flavorful. The only problem is that this location is so far away from where I live. So I'll probably won't be back. read more

Gotta love these guys they're always so considerate. You know we get stuff from them maybe once a week cause it's like Pablo Thursday at our house and it's amazing and they didn't have shredded meat for us so they called and let us know and then they hook it up with extra tacos and they forgot our crack sauce bottle, but they still brought it for us after and gave us extra cookies. They did not have to. They're amazing. Love you guys. read more

Okay, this place is SO yummy! They've got all your classic Mexican staples--quesadillas, burritos,…read moretacos, nachos, you name it. Everything tastes super fresh. We ordered to-go with a group of three friends (so a good amount of food) and it took less than 15 minutes. Honestly, not a bad wait time! The salsa bar in the front? Solid selections and the salsas complemented everything perfectly. Service was kind and they take both cash and card. A few things to keep in mind--the space is on the smaller side and it's mostly outdoor seating. With summer coming up (and spring already feeling hot), just know it can get warm out there. There is shade, but I don't remember seeing fans. So maybe plan for takeout if it's a scorcher! Parking is street parking. If you know Glendale, you know it can be a little tricky. We ended up parking in a residential area and walked about two minutes, so not bad at all. But honestly? It's worth it. The quantity of food for the price is fair, the wait time is quick, and I've been wanting to go back ever since my homegirl put me on to this place. Definitely coming back! fyi the pictures I included are only of the food. The space is at my friend's house-- we ordered to go

I got asada tacos, al pastor tacos, rice and beans, and an horchata. My favorite was their Al pastor. I liked the beans too, but I didn't like the flavor of the rice. I'm not sure if the rice was over seasoned or a certain seasoning was throwing me off, but it was very strong. It's definitely a style of Mexican rice that I've never had before . I prefer mixing my rice and beans together though, which helped. The beans and rice are sold separately so it's really your choice if you want to get it anyways. Their horchata was good which is always a good sign for me in a taco spot. I'll be back to try their carnitas and fries.

It was pretty good with the added crack sauce, and excellent tortilla. I decided to try it again and get a hardshell taco because I'm a fan of hardshell tacos and I like how it came with all the fixings lettuce tomato lots of cheese and sour cream. It tasted pretty good. Now as far as pricing go, it's very high for a non-restaurant establishment although the food is restaurant quality if I'm going to pay those prices, I would prefer a sit down restaurant. I will be back if I want some hard shelled tacos as they were really good. I am open to trying other items on the menu. The service was normal. I did like how they make everything from scratch so it did taste very fresh. The ambience is that of a taco stand nothing out of the ordinary but again if I am paying restaurant prices, I would love to be able to sit down in a restaurant setting

Ordering can be a little daunting given there isn't much guidance from the staff. Tacos are the specialty. Hand made fresh tortilla are pressed and cook on a flat top right in front. All the proteins are in trays or a boiling pot or the spinning "trompo". Cooked and fresh add on ingredients are all on display to add onto your selection. Rice, beans, onions, etc. At the check out table they have additional add ons. Marinated peppers, slivered onions, radishes. We watched folks place their order so we were able to figure out what to order. We ordered... Asada tacos Al pastor tacos Asada queso burrito Tripa queso burrito Tacos are nicely portioned, future son in law ate 5. Wife at 3. The taco was soft but firm with great corn texture. The Al Pastor is the champ here with the pineapple dang it was good!! The queso burrito was da bomb. The cheese is slapped onto the flat top to brown and build a bit of extra flavor. The tortilla was set on top and then filled with your meat, rice and beans, green onions and your choice of salsa. OMG. The cheese was so flavorful it really heightened the flavor of the other ingredients. Try it!! So good We got one watermelon drink which was made with fresh watermelon. You can taste the grittiness of the melon in a good way. Maybe had sweetener added but dang it was good Outside seating is provided which gave it the street fair vibe. Parking was easy in the CVS lot. You get a decent amount of food for the money which is high on my list when we go out to eat.

That was a bit disappointing because I ended up paying almost $40 for two quesadillas, which feels pretty expensive compared to other street food places in the area.

Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but I don't think the food justified the price

The dish also comes with corn tortillas. Since I'm allergic didn't have. My friend had a fish taco and a shrimp taco and enjoyed them both.

Fahhhhhhh sh** was wack, it's like they have the seafood thawed out pre chopped and waiting to be added to the tomato juice and topped it with frozen cocktail shrimp. You know the one you get pre made from markets with the dipping sauce, yeah! That kind. I tried to make it better by adding thae chip salsa they give you and nope. I asked for it to be thrown in the trash, I was not gonna take that home. So disappointed.
