Pablo's Mexican Restaurant (Old Town)

I see why this small restaurant with fantastic decor always seems busy when I'm in Old Town. The chilaquiles I got were good and plentiful for $11. The huevos con chorizo my husband got were good though the chorizo wasn't as spicy as we were expecting and as plentiful as my plate was, his plate wasn't as generous with the huevos con chorizo. The low point was the hochata which tasted like it was made from a mix with artificial sweeteners which is all we could taste. Overall, I'd at least recommend it as a good Mexican restaurant that's open late.

you don’t understand. this place is perfect down to the fact that i JUST now finished my chips and salsa at the EXACT same time. service? fire. food? fire. whatever else you would need? fire. need proof? added a photo. couldn’t take a before bc i ate it so fast.

Great restaurant with authentic flavors. Food is fresh and made to order! The trio fajitas are great! The portions are huge and orders come with free chips and salsa

Enjoyed lunch here during the chalk art event in Old Town. Everyone enjoyed their meals and was reasonably priced. Gluten-free options are available.

I recently visited Pablo's Mexican Restaurant in Oldtown, having heard it touted as the best in the area. While I appreciate that different regions have their own culinary styles, Overall, my impression was that the flavors at Pablo's felt somewhat muted or adapted, leading to what I'd describe as a "whitey taco" experience – perhaps catering to a palate that prefers less bold, authentic Mexican flavors. I understand that regional variations exist, and perhaps this style of menudo is preferred by many in Lansing. However, for those accustomed to a different preparation, like the more sauce-and-large-meat-focused versions, Pablo's menudo might not hit the mark. The bland lingua was also a letdown. While I hear great things about their other offerings😉, these two dishes simply weren't for me.

Waitress fast but not courteous or attentive. Only came to drop off food and drop off bill. Asked for salsa but got extremely hot sauce, when I asked again she said that is salsa. There was 3 different kinds in their frig, red, orange, and green. Food was very good. Music a bit loud. Very cool booths, clean tables and chairs.

Favorite Mexican food in Lansing! Love the Mexican taco dinner plate and my partner always enjoys the Floutas. Love stopping in during the summer for a refreshing Limonada while shopping in Old Town.

Great place. I had the fajitas which were made wonderfully as food cooked just right. I found it funny the flour tortillas came out hotter than the food. I also had the hibiscus drink called Jaimica which I had never had. I don't think everyone would like it but I did. My only critique for a 4 is two factors. First, because I'm a single male, the waitress seated me in the middle aisle without suggesting a booth. Second, I had to ask for my silverware. Overall, good food.
