We heard great things about Pablito's from a few of the locals. You have to make sure and check the hours they are open ahead of time, since most joints around there have "island hours". We tried the Chile' Rellenos with the Chipotle Sour Cream! They were amazing! They use their own unique twist on flavors, but are delicious. The... More

Home-made salsa to die for, fresh crisp chips, entrees included a grilled breaded pork dish that was mouthwatering and tender, and a delicious slow-cooked birria (stew)...cute, cozy environment; friendly staff.

Expensive but worth every bite! This place is hidden so you have to seek it out. Was on the top of the locals list... and for a good reason.

We found this via TripAdvisor, so thanks to other reviewers. Slightly hidden as much as you can be in the middle of downtown Friday Harbor. Outstanding atmosphere, food, and drinks. Very friendly service. Margaritas were small but don't be fooled. They are delicious and pack a serious punch (seriously, I love margaritas and have had many, many!...these are fantastic). Chips...

really nice, clean establishment that looks as if it is owned and run by locals. Conveniently located. More than generous portion sizes and super drinks and beer list. A definite must for an authentic Mexican meal!

This is a tough review. Pablito's has an incredibly inventive menu, full of healthy, interesting combinations. Of the 6 dishes we ordered, all were tasty. Nothing was overly spiced but a nice array of condiments were on hand to spice things up. The problem came with the large, walnut sized ham bone that was left in the bean burrito. Not... More

Come HUNGRY! Huge portions, I actually cut my burrito in half and ate the other half for breakfast! Our table had the cinammon beef enchilada and tacos and I had the green chili burrito. WOW! Some of the best mexican we've had in a while. Also very moderately island priced. Our waiter was so nice and helpful. Gave his personal... More

I have travelled extensively in Mexico, have lived in New York, and have travelled through Colorado and in California, but this little restaurant in Friday Harbor has some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. Plus, the people running it are very friendly and helpful. It is a very casual place (you order at a counter, and then... More

Some selections are organic. I dived into the pulled pork tacos which are EXCELLENT! Pricing on a lunch special was great! Two tacos, choice of beans, rice - $10 I was stuffed! If you dare - try a margarita - the best I've has in some time! There is a tray of multiple types of salsas to choose from -... More
