What Kara Hirthe doesn't like about Tio Pablo:
The food was not good at all. The drinks were overly price which had no alcohol content in it. I promise you it will not sneak up on you. You would be sitting there thinking I'm going to taste it. I asked the waiter if They were non alcoholic drinks she says no. If it was They it was half a shot. Food had more lettuce then anything in it. Over all wasted about $30 on drinks and a automatic tip. View all feedback. What Amy Young likes about Tio Pablo:
I’ve eaten a lot of huavos rancheros in my life seriously from Honduras all the way to Detroit these are the best I’ve ever had! Service is also good. Not to much interruption but occasional check ins. I may have to make time for another visit before I fly out tomorrow! Thank you for such an enjoyable meal! View all feedback.

The restaurant received mixed reviews, with some customers expressing disappointment in the quality of the food and the pricing practices. One diner was unhappy with the 20% mandatory fee added to their bill, which they considered deceptive. They felt that the portions were small and not worth the additional costs. Another customer was dissatisfied with the drinks, which they found overpriced and lacking in alcohol content. However, there were also positive reviews praising the authentic and delicious Mexican food, friendly staff, and gluten-free options. Customers raved about the margaritas, tacos, and tres leches cake. The atmosphere was also a highlight for many patrons, with one customer even planning to return for their 30th birthday dinner. Overall, while some were disappointed, others praised the restaurant as the best Mexican food in Richmond and highly recommended it.
