    This place is worth a try! Warning - The art and decor of this place can be intimidating. There are a lot of colors and the walls feel very congested. If you can make it past this, I would recommend making your way to the cashier and ordering some delicious chicken and plantains. There are lots of cool taco and burrito places out in this part of the valley, so Pablitos doesn't really stand out in that aspect. What stands out are their seafood and rotisserie chicken! If you're going in a group, grab a chicken together and get some sides. Chicken is well made and seasoned. If you care about what you eat, I would highly recommend this option. I love fried plantains. They're one of my weak spots, and this spot makes them right. There were like one or two that were burnt, but aside from the few, the rest were great. I would come back here just for the chicken and the plantains.

    Pablito's Tacos is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with great customer service and a friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The food is absolutely incredible--everything tastes fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The tacos are packed with perfectly seasoned meat, the salsas are delicious, and every bite reminds you of real homemade Mexican food. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their ingredients and the care they put into every dish. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the service is fast, even when they're busy. Whether you're stopping by for a quick lunch or bringing the whole family, this place never disappoints. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food that's consistently amazing, Pablito's Tacos is a must-try. I'll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend!

    We found this gem in Van Nuys and experienced good service and great foods! We loved the lomo dip sandwich, tacos. The meats were rich in flavor paired with delicious green Peruvian sauce - amazing!! Will definitely come back to try other menu items.

    Hands down this spot is legit to bring your family to and the cashier is very friendly, the customer service is 1000. Food is really delicious. Best in the west

    This is my first time here, and I saw the great reviews here on Yelp. I didn't know that it was a Mexican Peruvian fusion restaurant. I've never been to one of those and it was excellent. I love Peruvian and Mexican food. I want more of the Mexican route today. But there was definitely some Peruvian influence with the creamy green sauce. Both sauces were excellent, the Birria was good as was the Horchata. Fernando was great and went above and beyond explaining the menu and making sure that everything was great during my visit.

    Three taco plate

    Been awhile since I got to have me some Pablitos. My wife and I ordered the three taco plate. I got the lomo saltado, Al pastor, and carne asada tacos. She got the Chicharron, al pastor, and fish. She really loved the Chicharron taco, but enjoyed the other two also. I thought the al pastor was the best, but also liked the other two tacos. Beans were okay, not totally authentic, but close. The rice was an absolute miss. Under cooked and under seasoned. Not sure what they were going for honestly. Service was good, took a long time for the food. We were the only ones there too. Place has a Cuban vibe with the mural designs and the music. Still a fan, gotta try something else next time. Also, wish I had a Pablitos closer to Ventura County.

    Best Pablitos in town. The keto tacos here are so fire. Shoutout to Fernando for his top notch customer service, he works harder than any other cashier ive had the pleasure to talk to.

I could have gone with just another 30 seconds on the eggs, as I do like a thicker ooze of yolk, but I'm not complaining. The muffin was tasty and chewy, nicely made. The sausage was perfectly salted and added a nice richness to the entire bite. The salad. This salad was pickled cabbage in beet juice. Shredded carrot, wild lettuce and a side of balsamic dressing. It didn't need the dressing. I drizzled a tiny amount but barely a teaspoon. The entire eggs Benedict with salad is a definite crave-able breakfast dish. The service was very nice.

This old-timey coffee shop…read morein Van Nuys has been a steady presence in the area for decades, famous for house-made muffins and jams, and really high quality diner fare served by a friendly, warm and welcoming staff. The decor is exactly what you'd expect (and exactly what you want) from a neighborhood coffee shop: formica tables, padded chairs and booths, aging photos on the walls, and lively music playing on the radio. It was bustling at lunchtime on a Thursday, but not crazy busy (as on many weekend mornings), so I was seated immediately. The menu boasts a fairly large selection of options, from the usual breakfast items to sandwiches and burgers, daily specials, and those aforementioned muffins (which you can get instead of toast with your breakfast if you like). Today, I opted for their Spicy Louisiana Hot Link with eggs, grits and toast. It was a very generous portion of food for $16.95, and I appreciate how they've manage to keep their prices reasonable. The eggs were a proper over-medium, and the grits were both hot and creamy. The side of butter melted easily into the porridge, which, when salted and peppered, made for a satisfying and savory bite. The sausage was split and grilled, showing off a nice char; they were spicy, as advertised, but not overly powerful, and they paired very well with the warm, creamy egg yolk. Rye toast was full of caraway flavor, and really shone when topped with butter and a generous slather of Nat's house-made Apricot Jam (packed with fruit flavor without being too sweet). Yes, Nat's remains a solid, satisfying spot for breakfast and lunch. And though parking can sometimes be a challenge, I find the food is well worth the effort.

We arrived, checked in, and waited our turn while carrying a baby. Then another group that arrived after us was seated first. I personally heard them say they did not have a reservation. When I questioned the young employee about why they were seated ahead of us, she told me they did have a reservation. That is completely unacceptable. Being skipped is already frustrating, but being given an explanation that directly contradicts what I personally heard makes the situation even worse. Customers should not be treated as if they are stupid or expected to simply accept whatever excuse they are given. If this restaurant has a waiting list, then respect it. If certain customers are going to receive preferential treatment, then at least be honest about it. There is absolutely no reason for a loyal customer, especially one waiting with a baby, to be treated this way. I have recommended this restaurant to many people in the past, but I will no longer be doing that after today. A business can have good food, but dishonest and unfair customer service can completely ruin the experience. Management should take this seriously. You do not build customer loyalty by allowing staff to skip people, give preferential treatment, and then provide questionable explanations when customers speak up. This was disrespectful, unprofessional, and extremely disappointing.

What bothers me is being asked to choose a tip before I've received the service. I'm given options like 10%, 15%, 18%, or 20%--but how am I supposed to know what level of service deserves 10% versus 20% when the service hasn't happened yet? If I choose 10% and the service is excellent, I may feel like I should have tipped more. If I choose 20% and the service is poor, I feel like I've overpaid. Ironically, this system makes me more likely to choose a conservative tip every time. I'd much rather have the option to tip after the service is provided, when I can actually evaluate the experience. My recommendation: keep the QR ordering if you want, but move the tipping option to the end of the meal, after the service has been provided. That would make tipping feel more fair and meaningful.
