I am seriously amazed at how awesome Pablo's is! The atmosphere, the service, the food, everything was amazing. We were treated like close friends when last night was our first time dinning there. Fernando ( one of the owners) was so genuine and you can feel a warm, friendly open atmosphere that surrounded not only him but the entire place.... More

We have a new favorite Mexican restaurant. We had Sangria margaritas, enchiladas, and burrito and it was all great. Highly recommend.

You are usually greeted by Fernando or his father. This local meeting spot is sooooooo Fernandina. Friendly, great food and awesome drinks and Margaritas. We were there again last night. Fernando told us about the special leg of lamb fajitas he had prepared. "They are fantastic. Try them. If you don't like them, I will make you something else" He... More

We loved everything about this place. The brick courtyard was the perfect outdoor setting for sipping a beer or margarita. The service was great and the chile relleno was the best I've ever had. The chimichangas were great also. It was all good!

This is close on the best Mexican restaurant that I have been to. Staff were excellent and actually came across as sincere. The setting out the back is lovely. All food that we had was very good - i'd recommend the stuffed peppers.

We tried Pablo's for a pre Cinco de Mayo night out. We decided to have a margarita, and if they were good, we would stay for dinner. We were very happy to see an Organic version offered, which was made with fresh lime juice instead of the pre made mix. The splash of Grand Marnier was just right! The salsa... More

Have enjoyed Pablo's for several years. Great place to be. BEST margaritas EVER! Wonderful atmosphere. Have lived in Fernandina area for 40 years and never was interested in revisiting any establishment on a regular basis until Pablo's. Pablo, Fernando and staff are friendly and always glad your there. Can't wait to get back.

I LOVE pablos, probably my second favorite restaurant in downtown. the margaritas are PERFECT. Carlos, our server, was a perfect gentleman, very knowledgeable. Try the nachos chorizo. that and a margarita and you've got a perfect meal.
