Don Pablo's is a chain of Tex-Mex restaurants in the United States. The restaurant chain was founded in Lubbock, Texas in 1985 and is known for its traditional Tex-Mex cuisine, including dishes such as fajitas, enchiladas, and tacos.

History

Don Pablo's was established by DF&R Restaurants, Inc. in 1985. The first restaurant opened in Lubbock, Texas, and quickly gained popularity for its authentic Tex-Mex offerings. The chain expanded rapidly during the late 1980s and 1990s, opening locations across the United States.

In 1998, Don Pablo's was acquired by Avado Brands, which continued to expand the chain. However, Avado Brands filed for bankruptcy in 2004, leading to the sale of Don Pablo's to DDJ Capital Management. Despite efforts to revitalize the brand, the chain faced financial difficulties and filed for bankruptcy again in 2016.
