Don Pablo's Family Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Detroit Lakes

Horrible experience all around

The sever started nice then started to get frustrated. He had to ask to stop and wait when getting the drink order. He wrote down the drinks and when they came he still got it wrong. One person ordered the drink and food toake it easy and still wasn't.

When the food came two of the dishes were messed up and not what we ordered. The supper burrito was mostly rice with hardly anything else. The sauce tasted like it was tomato sauce/soup. The chicken mole didn't taste good at all and the rice was dry (have authentic Mexican food a lot since Grandma and Grandpa are from Mexico but have never had a mole or rice like that). The molcajete plate was good said my husband. Two of my kids didn't finish there food at all. The other two boys finished all there food. The chips were ok but sauce was very running.

The price was crazy for 3 adults 4 kids.

I would never...

What a fantastic place to go and enjoy Mexican food. Our waitress/owner was absolutely wonderful and a young man who seated guests and also came to our table a few times was such a happy employee. We could hear him singing the Hispanic music and was a joy to hear, even though he was just singing out of happiness I even left him a tip also and thank him for being happy and singing along with the music. I would highly recommend going here for a meal. Again my wife had there once before with a church friend and she wanted me to also enjoy the food. So 10 stars maybe 20 stars is what I want to give this restaurant. Thanks again for making our evening special with friendly service and wonderful music...

This was really bad food and not the right order 2 different times sending it back. The chicken was hot pink to red in color and didn’t even look like meat and the salsa was so bland and watery. The shredded beef had carrots and other things in it that I think were peppers but were really mushy and slimy. I’ve eaten at dozens of Mexican restaurants and never had food this bad. For the finale I got diahreah really bad within a half hour of eating. If you like Mexican food don’t go here, it’ll turn you off of it for a...
