Totally disappointed, fajitas burritos is really bad, I don't know how they did it but it was the worst burrito I ever tried. Service by itself is good. read more

I love Mexican, and I've had Pasqual's chips before (thank you Hy-Vee), so I was excited to actually check this place out. First 'pro' was the interior. I loved the large wood beams going across the ceiling and the minimal decor. We started with chips and guac. GREAT guacamole. And of course, the chips were crisp and seasoned well. I ordered a single enchilada with a side of sour cream. The food came out in a reasonable time, but I did not have my sour cream. I asked again for the side of sour cream, and the waitress came back with sour cream and guacamole. I did not order or need more guac, so I set it aside. The food was good and I enjoyed all of it. After eating, my friend and I waited. And waited. And waited. Nobody stopped by to check on us, clear the plates, and see if we wanted the check. It was after lunch rush hour, and was not very busy in the restaurant. We waited probably around 10-15 minutes before anyone stopped by the table. When we got the check, there was a side order of guac on the check. I put money in the checkbook, but kept it close, so I could point out the small discrepancy. Again though, we had to wait. Another 5-10 minutes before the waitress came to take the checkbook. She was fine with removing the guac from the bill, as I had not ordered or used it. The change came back quick. Overall, the food was great, but the service was poor. I'd like to go back and hopefully have a better service experience and try some of the tequila based drinks! read more

We love Pasqual's. Good salsa, delicious shrimp tacos and chicken enchiladas! My kids (3 and 7) like the chicken quesadillas with rice and happy to eat there. The deck is great in the summertime and we always take a walk down to the pond after we eat. I wish you'd bring back a kid friendly breakfast. We loved stopping there on summer mornings for giant pancakes!!! read more

The staff are not friendly and it took an hour and a half to get the food I ordered. I love Pasqual's, but not at this location.

What Mexican Restaurant charges you for chips and salsa? That's just ridiculous. The food was ok, but after 2 beers and 2 margaritas, the bill was quite high and I felt like I'd have gotten more for my money had I gone for prime rib over enchiladas. There are definitely better Mexican Restaurants to visit on the West Side of Madison. read more

This was my first time eating at this restaurant. I ordered the shrimp taco and it was ABSOLUTELY horrible!! The shrimp were soooo small, I couldn't even taste them. There was so much cabbage, I thought I was eating a cabbage taco instead of a shrimp taco. read more

Excellent place for a nice dinner out for some Tex-mex food. We sat done right away, served drinks almost instantly. We were given enough time to enjoy appetizers and a drink before ordering supper. Our food came out in 15 mins or less and was hot tasty and filling. I highly recommend it and know I will be back in the near future! read more

This is a Great family place to visit for some good Tex-Mex. Their chips and salsa are excellent. They make a mean margarita and offer all kinds of different flavors including a special of the month. I love their quesadilla. My husband loves their burrito bowls, shrimp tacos and regular burritos. We always enjoy our visit and they have very nice service as well. In the summer time there's an outdoor deck overlooking water that's very nice too. read more

I prefer this location over Hilldale. Great place for blue corn tortilla cheese enchiladas with green chili sauce. Ok, it's not Santa Fe or Houston, but it is pretty good for transplanted Texan living in beer and brat country. Great guacamole. Admirable service. read more

I'm not sure what's going on here. Let it be known we will be back as the location, margs & guac are tough to beat, but service & hit or miss food is mind boggling. Heaven forbid you stay later than 9 pm...they will put up chairs right around you - even with the restaurant 1/2 full!! Something has changed with the rice - it is extremely spicy. It used to always have a kick, but not sweat-rolling-from-your-forehead hot. Carnitas are dry more than not. It is turning in to just a margs, chips & guac stop for us which is fine, but they're missing a huge market by providing inconsistent food, laissez-faire service & complete shut down of the joint at 9 pm. read more

Horrible service. Every Time. This time we waited over an hour for food. As always the excuse was "sorry we are understaffed". Won't be back. read more

Re-opened in October 2012 at same locale. Friendly staff, good food, great margaritas. Glad to have them back in Verona!

Not worth it. Way over priced small drinks. One that was undrinkable. Bad bland food. Orders the carnitas burrito and all I could taste was the beans in the burrito. I think the crunchy part was the carnitas. The rest of the people I dinned with had similar experiences. Skip this one read more

The worst experience I've had in Madison to date! Be warned, do not go there save yourself the trouble. FIRST the bartender told us about a new beer, we asked if it's on draft and she said" it's an ale" should have been my first clue. Next, my Blood orange margarita arrived, it was PINK GRAPEFRUIT Juice, zero alcohol. Next my order was wrong, my spouse was finished eating before my replacement meal was ready, I told them to keep it. THEN they charged my card twice. This place has disaster written all over it.....gross mismanagement at its finest. read more

It's a great place to come with a small child. The food is good and the service is good. I love the guacamole and their margaritas are amazing. They are a little on the pricier side, but it's not bad when the food is better then most Mexican places I have been to. Our waitress was very understanding when she saw we had our toddler with us, and made sure to get our food out to us as fast as she could. I tell a lot of my friends that want good Mexican food that this is the place to go. read more

We rented the party room and had spectacular service, a great taco bar, and the lime margaritas on the rocks are stellar. We will definitely look at Pasqual's for further parties. read more

I am really happy Pasqual's is back in Verona! They've got the same great food and margaritas with an upscaled interior and really attractive bar area. read more

They've recently updates their menu and its made a difference. They have breakfast tacos and other dishes all day. Great addition to give you the Mexican flare but with a twist few others offer for dinner. This place has a nice outdoor section and is very kid friendly. We go almost once a week and are never disappointed. read more

Torn between three and four stars for Pasqual's. Service was polite and prompt but not overly caring The food is good quality but a little overpriced. A big problem with this location is that they don't have enough parking and I wouldn't park on the street to eat here. read more

Been going to pasquals for over 15 years and have watched the quality go down further every year. The menu has shrunk considerably. They have 5 ingredients that are rearranged to give the appearance of choice. They have decided that they're making money of the margaritas and screw the food. Last night had a chili verde which used to be hearty stew. I was given literally a green salsa with chicken and beans added. No broth just pepper Juice it was inedible. read more

I used to love Pasqual's down on Monroe street in Madison..... this ain't it. Food is 1-2 stars drinks are about the same. It's a shame as the old location had really built up a reputation. Groups seem to like to meet up here, but I would recommend Grays if you need to get a group together in Verona. read more

New manager and it shows. Went on Friday night and expected a bit of a wait Showed up at 6, waited 1/2 hour which was consistent with why they said. Ordered almost right away bc kids were hungry. Took over one hour to get food with reason being they had a lot of take out orders So get as takeout is what they want read more

Sloooooowwwwwest service eeevvvvverrrrr..... Update: Two tables that came in after us got their food. Waited 40 minutes for our food then had to hunt down someone to tell them we were leaving. Never going back. We typically go to the Draft House across the street but thought we would try something different. I would recommend passing on Pasquals and going to the Draft House if you're in the area. We've always had a good experience there. read more

A great place to go for Cocktails and/or Food. Great service, great food (consistantly) nice atmosphere, friendly staff..Try the Enchilada's...Muy Bueno read more

Not sure why the reviews are so negative. The margaritas are fantastic and expertly made. If you're looking to get trashed on cheap frozens, head somewhere else. This is a place for unique, creative and fun margaritas on the rocks. The food is very good as well. The chef puts a fun creative spin on lots of traditional dishes. The only negative was the atmosphere; the restaurant filled up quickly after we arrived and was quite loud inside. Otherwise it's definitely a good place to go! read more

Not impressed... at all. We recieved the wrong tacos and the tortillas were so dry, they cracked! We let our server know who promptly went to find the manager. We were in a little bit of a hurry to get to a movie, the manager took over 15 minutes to come over to us! She also didn't seem sincere in her apology. I also work in the service industry and do understand the occasional annoyance of customer complaints, but as the manager you should at least PRETEND to care about your customers. She offered us a free drink, but since she took so long to come talk to us, we didn't have time to order it. But don't worry about it Pasqual's, we wont be back. read more

We took our mom to this restaurant who is new to the area. We were extremely disappointed with their service. It took 50 minutes to get our food. The server did not come to refill our water. We had to track him down to ask for refills. When the food finally did come, they only brought out 3 out of the 5 dinners. We had to wait another 7 minutes for the rest of the food. We then had to track down another waitress to get our check. This place was poorly run and we will NOT be back. read more

Service was horrible. Our server messed up our orders. Came with a group of friends, one friend ordered 3 tacos, but instead had 2 which were filled with so much lettuce that it was like eating a salad. Another friend ordered chicken fajitas but the server came out with the wrong fajitas for her. Then I ordered a combo fajitas with just shrimp and steak, NO CHICKEN with CORN tortillas, I got fajitas with steak and chicken and flour tortillas. Then I told them I didn't order that, they corrected the fajitas but still got the tortillas wrong. Service was so slow. Even when it wasn't busy at all! I felt bad for the family sitting beside us waiting 20 mins to order. Saw our waiter just standing by the bar chatting away. Barely came to check on us also. Also, the when I ordered fajitas I thought I would get the traditional fajitas on a sizzling plate. Not a $18 mediocre wannabe chipotle burrito bowl. They skimped on the meat, nothing but rice and beans under it. Also meat was dry. There was flavor, but just dry. Would rather pay $8 for a chipotle burrito bowl. First time experience..& it was horrible. Only thing I enjoyed there was the margaritas. But even then, those were over priced I feel like. $8-$9 for a small glass. If you are looking for other Tex mex or even better, an authentic Mexican restaurant, Madison has a lot of better options out there. read more

This place is right by my house, so I was excited to walk there in the summer for margaritas. Well...Their margaritas are decent, but grossly overpriced. No big deal, we'll go on Mondays because margaritas are half priced. Too bad the service is atrocious!!!! I don't care how good the chips are, or how convenient it would be to walk next door for Monday night margs... Because it takes FOREVER to get anything you order.. Including water! It's even worse if you sit on the patio. We gave it 3 tries, no more. During our last visit, we sat on the patio and waited patiently for 15 minutes for our margaritas to arrive. After those 15 minutes, two women sat at the table next to us, ordered margaritas and got them WAY before we did. It was the same server, so maybe she got confused.. But it never dawned on her how long we had been waiting compared to the other patrons...No apologies or any sigh of hustle whatsoever. Boo! read more

The food here is delicious! I had the veggie enchiladas, and they were second to none! Pasqual's also has a back patio that overlooks a small water area, which is a very nice place to sit. They also have some great happy hour specials, like $2 Coronas. My only complaint is that the menu is somewhat limited. For example, they do not offer chile rellenos, which I happen to love. Overall, though, I would highly recommend eating here! read more

Took some holiday visitor's there last night for dinner and we were not impressed. If you are going to charge for chips/salsa, then those chips and salsa better be darn good...which they were not. We ordered the chips/"homemade" guacamole and chips. The chips were cold, salsa was marginal and the guacamole was a green tasteless paste. If you need to pay for chips/salsa at a mexican restaurant then the chips should be freshly made, hot and good, and free refills. When asking for more salsa (they gave us 1 little bowl for 6 people) the waiter said he had to charge us, but he'd throw it in for "free" but we couldn't tell the owner, or they'd get mad. Really? The margarita was watered down lemonade, and the white sangria was basically orange juice with a bit of wine. The food was marginal and service ok. We should have been offered waters for the table and small plates for our chips/salsa/guacamole since we were sharing for 6. There are other better places to go for mexican food in this town, and we won't be back. Guests were not impressed. read more

Stopped in on a Tuesday night. Had a tasty burrito and half-priced original and traditional margaritas. Sat at the bar and watched the Brewers game. I would do it again. read more

YAY! Pasqual's is back in Verona, right where it used to be on Cross Country. We were so disappointed when they closed that location a few years ago. We stopped in on a Friday night, and the place has been completely renovated and was packed. It is much more like the Hilldale location, with a beautiful bar. We were only there for margaritas and nachos, but both were just as good as always. Their margaritas are one of the best in town, no skimping on the booze. (They are pricey, but you can get them 1/2 price on Monday and Tuesday.) The nachos are great, we got the shredded chicken. You can definitely make a meal from the large order. Our server was attentive without being bothersome. The menu is a bit different than the other locations. There are burgers on this one and not all of the other offerings that the other locations have. I am anxious to try some of the new items now that they are back in our neighborhood. We have been eating at Pasqual's since there was only one location on Monroe St. and cannot think of a time we have been disappointed. The only thing I wish they hadn't changed is they no longer have their menu on that colorful chalkboard. Who's idea was that to get rid of it??? read more

Not sure what happened but service is terrible. Managers aren't even helping staff when it is obvious they are inefficient. We sat after finishing eating for about 20 minutes with all of our dirty plates and empty glasses trying to catch our server's eye so that we could get our check. The manager even stood at the bar watching the entire time. Horrible service. We have been coming here for years, not sure we will be back again read more

Went last night with a friend visiting from out of town. The service was terrible. Sat at our table for 20 minutes with no server so we stopped another server and she said she would take care of us. Service was still terrible, took a long time to get drinks and food. Will never be going back. read more

This is a solid place for margaritas and food. Soup, cornbread, enchiladas, and burrito were tasty and hit the spot. Nice melding of some different flavors that you don't get in an "authentic" Mexican restaurant. Needed to pay extra for sour cream (what? This is Wisconsin, after all) and if you have one loud table, the noise echos throughout the restaurant, but we will be back. read more

Good food, quick service. Great margaritas, half price on Mon and Tues. Otherwise-pricey at $8 each.

3 stars. To be honest, I liked it before. The new atmosphere is unorignal and nothing like the contemporary casualness of the old set up. I miss the ordering set up, and the casualness of the restaurant. The menu has changed, no more tamales. I was very sad. The food portions are generous, and the salsa is still good. Enchiladas were still good, I went for the verde with cheese. They also seem to have more vegetarian options? which is a good thing. But I am nostalgic of the old place. The staff seems inexperienced, and the music they play isn't inviting. I'm hoping they go back to their roots with some of the stuff. It seems that they are more focused on drinks at this location, and I don't know how this will play out with the location. I am partial to this old company, and hope for the best. But damn, I want my tamales back! read more

How do you eat a burger that keeps breaking apart? Service was at best mediocre. The rice had a weird taste. Overall an unpleasant experience. This was the first and last! read more

You may not think Pasquals when you think brunch, but you should! I don't believe all the locations serve breakfast but the Verona location does on the weekends and it is great, especially considering the lack of options available in southwest Madison and Verona. Try it! read more
