We had a great experience enjoying the happy hour (ends at 6p) on a Friday. We made a reservation and are glad we did because it was packed. We brought a lap infant and the staff was accommodative and helped us find space to park our stroller. I enjoyed the margaritas, especially the blood orange margarita. You can get a double for just $5 more at happy hour! We enjoyed the food. The guacamole and chips were great and fresh. The street corn was delicious. I got three tacos: two fish and one pork belly. Honestly the fish tacos were pretty dry, I wouldn't order them again. However the pork belly taco was excellent. read more

I We ordered the classic "small" nachos and the chicken tortilla soup. The nachos were anything but small--they were easily enough for 4-5 people to share. Loaded with cheese, jalapeños, and tomatoes, they were delicious and generously topped. My only wish is that the sauce had been spread more evenly instead of mostly served on the side. The chicken tortilla soup was also a generous portion and nicely presented. The flavor was good, although I wasn't completely sure the chicken was cooked to the ideal texture. The outdoor patio can get surprisingly windy, even in the summer. The staff was friendly and welcoming, but service was a bit slow. If you're looking for a relaxed meal and don't mind lingering, it's a great spot. Overall, the huge portions and tasty food make it worth a visit. read more

Pablo y Pablo has lots of menu options and serves cozy, hearty food that fills you up really well. Everything tastes great and is satisfying. The only downside was that the food took a while to arrive, which slowed down the experience a bit. Still, the quality and warmth of the dishes make it worth visiting. read more

Pablo y Pablo is one of my favorite restaurants in the Wallingford-Fremont corridor. I love the casual bordering on fancy, yuppy-hippy neighborhood in the city restaurant vibe. They make good drinks but I tend to only want their double house margarita with chili salt on the rim. It goes perfectly well with their chips, salsa, and guac. Their various bowls and tacos are delicious! It often gets crowded so I highly recommend making a reservation. read more

*My go to for a blood orange margarita on a sunny day in Seattle. Pablo y Pablo is a great place for happy hour with a friendly patio (the tables along the windows have heaters overhead for when the weather changes). The nachos (with a vegan option) and street corn is the perfect hh order for two and the portions for the nachos is quite generous. But we went with the street tacos this time (and the ceviche which wasn't on hh) and I would say the rockfish and carnitas were the better ones to order. read more

05/23/2026 Got here on a Saturday around 5pm without a reservation. They still had happy hour until 6pm. On happy hour (HH), I got the Green Chile Pineapple Mule (delicious), and we tried the classic nachos per the waiter's recommendation. The nachos were good with thick crunchy chips. You can add meat to it too, but we opted not to since we were also getting tacos. I got a baja fish taco which was on HH, and an al pastor taco from the regular menu. Fish taco was great. Al pastor was different - I'm used to it being either grilled or cut from a vertical spit. This was a slab of marinated pork, which was totally fine, but the flavor was just okay - I wouldn't order it again. My friend enjoyed her two carnitas tacos (on HH). She also got the piña granada mocktail - it was delicious and had a beautiful pink color from the pomegranate. Service was good until the end when we were left waiting a while to get our check. Another server saw that we were waiting and took the initiative to close us out - wish I got her name to give her a shoutout! read more

Tried Pablo y Pablo for happy hour at 4:30pm on a weeknight last month and it was a delicious experience. We tried the chips and salsa, the braised pork taquitos, and several different tacos ($5 each). We had the pork belly taco, chicken tinga taco, and baja fish tacos. Everything was good but we both liked the fish tacos the best. They are fried and they give you a nice big hunk of fish. Because I can't eat dairy or avocado, our waiter suggested I get their vegan aioli on the side. So glad he did because it was delish! We liked all the special touches from the beautiful blue-and-white patterned plates to the dim candle lighting to the nice bathrooms with surprisingly pleasant-smelling hand soap. Servers were attentive and friendly throughout our dinner. Everything was tops. We will definitely be back! read more

I was in the city again so where did I go to eat? Pablo y Pablo...twice...because I was that serious about them. Food/drinks: Vegan nachos with carnitas -- check! Still huge portions. Still delicious. Still gluten free friendly and dairy free. Watch out for jalapeños; the seeds are definitely in. Mulled wine -- yum! Agave daiquiri -- strong, interesting, wasn't my fave (didn't finish it). Sangria -- solid! Service: A little more than fine. Friendly. Helpful-ish. Checked in at the beginning but less so by the end both times (when a check in would have been useful). Food comes out quick. Ambiance: Still cute for happy hour, friend meet ups, date nights, etc. Not hurried or rushed. Consider a reservation if you want to be safe. Why 4 stars? It's really 4.5. Honestly, service plus the menu changed in the 2 days I was there, and I missed out on the hot chocolate drink I reeeeallllly wanted. I wish there would have been a heads up that I was getting the last day of the menu. Hope it's not another 3 years before my next visit P y P! read more

came here for Seattle restaurant week as we had heard really good things. We got here about five minutes before our reservations and it seems like they were very slammed and we had to wait for about 5 minutes until we got seated, they were very nice about it and I didn't really mind the vibe is very nice and fun and the restaurant is very long. Overall all the food and drinks I thought were just okay, maybe I ordered wrong bc I keep getting recommended the margs. The lychee prickly pear one I ordered didn't taste very strong of lychee or picky pear but it is very very pretty. I thought the ceviche was just okay and not very flavorful , same with the corn. I liked the tacos fine tho. Overall not bad for a Seattle restaurant week deal, but I don't think I'd come back for the food maybe I'll try more cocktails tho read more

I love happy hour on the patio at Pablo y Pablo. Staff is fantastic and service is always wonderful. Food is decent; a lot of it is on the rich/greasy side. I tend to stick to their tinga tacos, which are excellent and well-balanced. read more

I came for their Tofu Bahn Mi taco, because mixing Vietnamese and Mexican modern cuisines is my jam...but it was NOT available on a Saturday brunch. Meh. The drink selection at this nicely appointed dining room with glass walls overlooking the street and the utility waste transfer station opposite were swanky! I loved the "strawberry" horchata. My friend got a lovely tequila spirit drink which was subtle and less than a margarita, also with a strawberry twist. Their side dishes of green rice (arroz verde) and stewed beans were show stoppers. Could have made an entire meal of that alone. The habanero salsa was nowhere near as "spicy" as I expected. It was actually pleasant. Guacamole was also subtle and nice. We had a selection of tacos, baja fish - just fine oyster mushroom - just fine vegan chorizo - okay I've had better, rather too mealy meat chorizo - reportedly good In short, an elevated Mexican dining experience that I would repeat because of the fine setting and the beautiful bar. However portion sizes on the salsa were far too skimpy. I thought rather tight fisted on the basics. read more

This is a great brunch spot; cute and lively ambience, good food, and friendly service. Food is flavorful and they have a pretty decent brunch menu. I had the pork belly Benedict. Eggs came out hard boiled, but they quickly gave me a set of poached eggs which were actually runny...so good save! The sauce had bold flavors; the pork belly was a little dry but they give you a big portion of pork belly, so that made up for it. My son had the taquitos off the kids' menu. It wasn't bad, but it may have been too "fancy" for him...the lettuce, cheese, and sour cream were garnished on top, which he immediately wanted off! I personally appreciated the presentation, but kids may not. I've had the tacos before... they're yummy and have unique flavors. This place usually hits the spot for a fun and yummy Mexican brunch. read more

Across Seattle you will find good Mexican restaurants and you will find bad Mexican restaurants, but you will not find a Mexican restaurant with the level of taco ingenuity of Pablo y Pablo. Their lead taco artist is a creative mastermind. A composer of brilliant taco ballads. Bahn Mi taco? They got it. Duck meatball taco? You bet. If you're ever curious what it is like to have your favorite food from outside of Mexico in a tortilla, this is the place to go. Purposefully untraditional, and intentionally delicious. They have a screamin' deal every Tuesday that is worth coming in for. 6 tacos, chips and guacamole, 2 margaritas, and churros for something like $30 each. The churros were pretty weak though, almost like little munchkins from Dunkin Donuts. Pablo y Pablo is solid by most measures. It's more of a fun place to hang than a place that is going to blow you away with its food. read more

Pablo y Pablo is my go to brunch spot after visiting Fremont Sunday market. It has great fresh ingredients and the portions are enough for two meals. The server came straight to us any time we signaled and we were served fairly quickly. I love the cute decor and the big window brings in lots of light. The bar also looked like it had great options even though we didn't order any thing. As for the food I loved the quality of the ingredients but I wish there was more flavor. I think the green sauce on the chilaquiles was a bit bland. I wish there was more salsa to make it more flavorful. Still yummy tho and def worth a try! read more

Pablo y Pablo - CLASSIC NACHOS - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Let's start with the great parts: The food! Everything that came out was beyond delicious and everyone at our table finished their plates. There was this salsa that the bartender recommended that was like sweet and savory - everyone loved it. I had the squash enchiladas and they were really good - perfectly cooked, lovely balance of flavors and just as delicious as leftovers the next day. My only reason for taking off one star is that the service wasn't great. Idk if they were short staffed but it was pretty mediocre. They never refilled our water and didn't clear our appetizer plates. So when our entrees came we didn't have enough space on the table and the server just handed me my dinner plate. like I was just holding my dinner in my hands while I waited for my friends to stack dishes and move plates. Even after that awkward interaction I still had to ask them to clear our appetizer plates because they brought us more chips but we didn't have anywhere to put them. I also noticed there was a table out front that had dirty dishes and it didn't get cleared the entire time we were there. So basically the staff left a table unbussed for at least 1 hour. The drinks were also delicious and the bartender was super friendly and helpful with helping us decide on the menu. The ambiance is great and I loved the music. It could be a really cool place maybe if you get the right servers? Or come on a day with buzzers? I'll probably give it another try since the food was so good. read more

This was my go to during the pandemic and after. I really love how each item on the menu pairs well together. Their tacos, especially the mushroom vegetarian option are outstanding. I love their salad and house made salsas. You can really taste the quality in the ingredients and the amount of time it takes to prepare it. Their carne asada was cooked perfectly and their tortillas taste house made. Lastly, I really enjoy their ceviche. Having ordered from DoorDash multiple times, the food really stood the transportation time. Huge kudos to the chefs at Pablo y Pablo. During a time where elevated Mexican food is competitive, you stand out. I haven't had a chance to physically go to your restaurant and the outside looks very inviting and charming. Next time I dine, I'll make sure to get a table. read more

The ambiance was nice, and the service was fast. I was seated right by the restrooms in a completely empty side of the restaurant of course (I'm a POC). The food was incredibly mid!! My pork belly was hard and basically fossilized. Host was kind and friendly. Waitress could not care less, maybe she was going through something. Even my 7 year old was curious about what was wrong. I've been to their other location (permanently closed), and I loved it. My drink, their mule, was the only thing I enjoyed. Really bummed the other location closed.

Came to Pablo Y Pablo for Cinco De Mayo. a decent crowd but we were able to secure some seats fairly quickly. Got in just in time for some Happy hour Margaritas which were good. You have the option of doubling it or getting a pint for $5 more - which is nice, and thinking back may have been the better value. To start was chips and guac of course. Not bad, not exceptional, a bit high at $12, the chips of course are unlimited. Along with that got crispy Brussels topped with nuts. I got the beef birria quesadillas (that I actually think were just tacos) a continued favorite of mine at mexi spots and it definitely hit the spot in the way of cheesy goodness. -corn tortillas (Which I am always pleased to see), Oaxaca & jack cheese, jalapeño salsa, cilantro, and of course with broth for dipping. There was plenty of it too. My Buddy got 'Taco duos' and they got the thumbs up from him. The food was really good, I found things to be a tad pricey though, especially being that I've had birria tacos about as good, for comparatively cheaper. Still a good time though. read more

Yum yum yum. My friend and I recently came here for a nice weekday dinner - without a reservation, we were seated immediately. The classic marg? Yum. It had plenty of salt and was incredibly refreshing. This was arguably some of the best guac I've held - I loved the kick from the jalapeños and the raw onions sprinkled on top. Chips were served fresh and warm! For dinner, I got the chicken enchiladas - you get a choice of red or green sauce, and I went with red. They were hearty and delicious. I couldn't finish them because the portion was great! My friend had the fish bowl and loved it / he definitely finished his whole plate. Overall, just a fun place with great service. While we got there too late, their happy hour options look great! read more

I went on a Monday evening at 6:30, and the staff was very welcoming and friendly. The ambiance, with its dim lighting and candles at every table, makes it a great spot for a date night. I ordered the banh mi and pork carnitas tacos along with the chicken tortilla soup. The tacos were delicious, but while the soup was flavorful and I loved the fresh slices of avocado, the texture felt a bit watery. I also tried their popular blood orange margarita with a Tajín rim. I'd definitely come back to try more of their tacos and margaritas! read more

We love Pablo y Pablo! Nice outdoor patio seating, short walk from gas works park, delicious cocktails and mocktails, and vegan options! It's a pretty similar menu to their sister restaurant Barrio in Cap Hill, but I've tried the vegan ops at both and Pablo y Pablo is better!! The vegan nachos have a spicy vegan cashew cheese, and you can add beans or fake chorizo. They have plenty of toppings, pile of guacamole, pickled veggies. You can do a two taco plate with rice and beans (just ask for no cotija) and there are four vegan taco options. I actually really like the banh mi taco, very fresh and delicious, spicy too. My friend got the fish taco (not vegan) and said it was good. There's also a vegan chocolate mousse dessert! Didn't get it bc I'm not a huge chocolate fan. Friend got a spicy margarita (said it was spicy) and I got a fun mocktail called the pina granada with pineapple and pomegranate juice. We were stuffed! Couldn't totally finish the nachos but picked at them for a while. I love this place, great for vegans, vegetarians, omnivores. Patio is also dog friendly! Service is great, our server helped answer all our questions and was attentive but gave us time to chill. I'll be back! read more

Pablo y Pablo - Taco plate and vegan nachos - Mexican Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Living in Canada means absolutely no one knows what Mexican food is, especially for a Californian. I gave my friend the hard task of finding me quality tacos in Seattle and luckily, as a California girl herself, she'd had Pablo y Pablo before and knew it would hit the spot. We rolled over for a weekday happy hour and enjoyed margaritas, chips and guacamole, taquitos, and 2x of their happy hour tacos. The chips and guacamole, plus the excellent taquitos, really hit the spot for me. I ultimately went non-conventional and had their cauliflower taco which I truly enjoyed. Plus side, the menu is easy to read, gluten free options are clearly marked, and the bartender is not only an excellent mixer, but he was kind as well. Definitely a place I'll go again next visit. read more

However, we were really impressed that all the dietary needs were met and the food was delicious. I joined my sister and had the vegan tacos. The tofu banh mi is to die for. The vegan dessert was unique and nothing like I've ever had. The horchata is dairy free and wonderful. I believe our server's name was Alberto and he was so kind. Took all our allergies into consideration and was very knowledgeable of the menu. I think this will be a regular spot for us here on out! read more

Carlos gave us great service during brunch! Breakfast tacos - you're able to order any of the tacos a la carte, instead of the 2 tacos plus side combo. The breakfast tacos specifically have potatoes inside, so if you get the combo - you'll get double potatoes. Brisket Skillet - this is served in a cast iron skillet, so it was still sizzling when it got to the table. There was more brisket in this skillet than I thought there would be, so this was very filling. The potatoes were crispy and delicious. It could have used a tad more salt, but that was an easy fix with a sprinkle at the table. I had a hot toddy(unspiked) to drink and it was truly a cup of warmth and comfort. The bartender made my cousin a custom drink - he even came to the table for a bartender consultation. After some questions, they ended up with a smoky breakfast-ish Old Fashioned! It's a simple interior, so very chill. I'd recommend Pablo y Pablo for a lowkey brunch read more

I came here with a friend and got a margarita, cauliflower taco, and artichoke taco. We were hoping to do happy hour, but didn't realize it's only M-F (their website shows happy hour listed with the normal hours; you don't find out it's M-F until you click on the happy hour menu specifically). The artichoke taco was very good, but the cauliflower taco was just okay to me. The sides of beans were flavorful, but rice was a bit too salty and I couldn't taste much else.
