“Went here with my Brother and Sister for the Thanksgiving week. Was greeted by a very sweet bartender that explained that it was likely one of the most family oriented sort of bars in Lubbock. Being someone that loves dive bars, it didn't disappoint in any aspect. Definitely will go back next time I happen to visit.“

In and out in 30 minutes for under $40 for two people. Not sure what all the negative reviewers were expecting but this place slaps“

Robles Authentic Mexican Food Tacos •
Ave Q &, 48th Street, Lubbock

“If you’re looking for great food and a fun night out, check out Robles Taquería! They gave our large party outstanding service and were so accommodating from the moment we walked in. They made us feel comfortable and welcomed, which makes such a difference when you have a big group. The food was delicious and our servers were fantastic. They joked with us, kept us laughing, and really added to the fun atmosphere. And if the great food and service weren’t enough, they also have karaoke on Saturdays. So you can eat, laugh, and maybe show off your singing skills while you’re there! If you haven’t been to Robles Taquería yet, you’re missing out. Go visit!“

“For my birthday, my partner and I went here to grab a few drinks to celebrate my special night, and let me just tell y’all how cool this place was! Not only was our server highly knowledgeable and very friendly, but we got ourselves some very well-made and quite strong cocktails! The espresso martini was so well-crafted, I was impressed (I’ve had this before many times in the past, all of them not even coming close to this flavor)! The Giggle Smash was also another one that I loved so much (and yes, it did make me giggle afterwards)! These were just a few of the cocktails that we ordered, and if you don’t know what to get (like I did in my case), the bartenders can make you something impressive if you just ask! The two of us left very impressed and will be back here someday to continue basking in this place that left us very impressed, including taking in the wonderfully decorated interior!“
