" I visited Pelons following a friend's recommendation. While the service was friendly, the food was quite underwhelming for the prices charged. My carnitas were dry and lacked flavor. The ambiance is nice, but I believe that a restaurant should have great food to match. I might consider returning, but only if spoken highly by other trusted sources. " (*Curated Review*)

" Although Pelons has a lovely atmosphere, my dining experience was not as anticipated. I had heard fantastic reviews, but the meal was average. The tacos I had were rather bland and the service slightly rushed. I enjoyed the lively decoration, but I just wanted a better tasting meal to match the vibrant ambiance. I might return, but I am hesitant. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoy Pelons Tex Mex quite a lot, but I've had my ups and downs. Their taco selection is solid and the flavors are on point, but there are times when I've received cold food. I've always been treated well by the staff, which adds to a pleasant experience. If I could have consistency in the food, this would be a favorite restaurant for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pelons should consider refining their menu as I find the food to be average at best. While the atmosphere is decent with a fun vibe, the overall dining experience is diminished by the quality of food. I had the nachos which weren't very memorable. I appreciate the friendly service, but the food needs work. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Pelons Tex Mex and was blown away by the atmosphere! The outdoor seating was perfect for enjoying a sunny day. I tried the carne asada tacos, and they were bursting with flavor. The chips and salsa were a delightful start to the meal. My server was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a great experience. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love dining at Pelons! Every visit has been a good experience. The atmosphere is vibrant making it ideal for social gatherings. I've tried their street corn and it's a must-have! The service is friendly, even during busy times. I look forward to returning with more friends next time for a larger group meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pelons Tex Mex is a delightful spot! I stumbled upon it while exploring Austin and was pleasantly surprised. I tried their famous flautas and they were perhaps the best I've ever had! Crispy and savory, paired with a margarita to wash it down. The staff were friendly; they made me feel welcomed right away. Highly recommend to anyone visiting! " (*Curated Review*)
