Pablos — Restaurant in Belfast

Pablos is a burger joint in a class location right in the centre of town, only a few minutes walk from the Cathedral Quarter. The theme is quite cool with a cantina style decor and a menu with Mexican twist which work perfectly. In terms of plant-based options there is one on the menu, the Vegan mince Tacos. They looked great so we tried to place an order but unfortunately the staff member said they didn't have time to make them. We were genuinely confused asking if there is anything she would like to make that was vegan. After suggesting options like crumbling a bean patty over chips she then backtracked and said she would make the tacos but we weren’t to tell anyone as we would be the last for the evening, so obviously the processes for the vegan meals must be a major issue for the staff here. Once they arrived they were genuinely quite tasty and we were pleased. I can't say we felt anything other than unwelcome in this restaurant so unless the service is greatly improved I think we would advise most plant-based diners to go somewhere where their business is appreciated. Everyone else, work away, it seemed that there was personal bias coming through so you may have a great experience. Just a shame we can't have that for...

Everything about this place was so bad.

When I came here a gentleman ahead of me in the queue asked if the bar was open before the rude man making the burgers barked at him no and to go next door. This young man then continued to bark orders at his co worker which immediately gave the place a weird vibe and the only reason I stayed was because everywhere else was packed. I also asked for glasses for my friends and my drinks and was told, “bar’s closed.”

There was literally nowhere to sit which is understandable since the place was busy but the only tables were covered in rubbish and filth… and the music was awful. During our time here we heard a bunch of 2015 tiktok songs blasting so loud we could barely hear eachother speak.

Then came the food. The place seemed like it was gonna be good but we were honestly so disappointed when it arrived. The burger was sub par and the chips were so salty it was revolting. Totally inedible and the only reason my friends and I didn’t return them was because the staff were so unwelcoming.

Do not get the salt and pepper fries unless if you want...

Loved the decor vibe of the place, and staff was friendly too, but the only way you can enjoy this food is if you‘re completely wasted. But we were here sober, because it’s one of the only places to still get food after 11pm. And phew that was hard to eat… the “guacamole” is a slimy tasteless cream out of a bottle, the undefined red sauce is gel-like and weirdly sweet, completely destroyed the already soggy fries. And the tacos were partially icecold while simultaneously piping hot in other parts - so clearly just popped into a very old microwave or something. Not a single ingredient was fresh or tasted like anything it should be tasting like. Sorry guys, but even for a late night food spot - this was so disappointing. And we payed 30£ for a burger, tacos and fries, which is way too much for this quality. We couldn’t even finish more than...
