Don Pablos

Fast service, nice atmosphere, and good food. The taco salad is very similar to Taco Bell. Even the salsa is similar to the salsa that you get with a taco bell taco salad.  Hmmm.... Is this a sit down Taco Bell?

This is my favorite restaurant on the entire planet. Yes, I did cause a waitress to spill an entire tray of drinks on me on their patio when I was the ripe, young age of five, but I still love this place.

If I knew I only had one hour left to live, my final activity here on earth would be eating Don Pablo's chips and salsa. Of all the salsas I have ever eaten, Don Pablo's is simply the best. I can no longer eat canned salsa thanks to the heavenly creation that is fresh-made Don Pablo's salsa. Also, their pico de gallo is always the best.

Drink-wise, if you do non-alcoholic stuff like me, you're a tea drinker, and you don't like your tea to be overly-sweet, get the unsweet tea. I love their sweet tea, but a lot of people don't like the sugar rush.

If you're going to this location, it is a must that you ask for either Susanna or Robin. Their service is the living, breathing definition of what service should be like anywhere you go. I think everyone should live up to their example!

Don Pablo's has slipped in recent years but still remains the contemporary verson of Chi Chi's in terms of chainey, fast-food Mexican but steps above Taco Bell (to say the least).

DP's food quality is pretty consistent and you're never going to struggle ordering from the predictable menu.  This particular location could use a face lift and possibly a steam cleaning (the mesquite will stay with you and you may have to burn your clothes after you leave for that very reason).  The wait staff is pretty reliable but again --- hard for anyone to screw this up unless they disappear somewhere between your table and the kitchen (which HAS happened to me here).

If you have a hankering for Mexican and you are on a budget but don't want any surprise this is the place for you in Indy.
