" After hearing people rave about Pelon's, I decided to check it out last weekend. I ordered the chicken burrito and a fish taco. The burrito was sizable and decent but it wasn’t quite what I hoped for. The fish taco was better; the fish was lightly battered and the overall flavor was much more vibrant. I enjoyed sitting on their patio, soaking in the sun while eating my meal. The service was friendly and quick. I believe I will return to give the fish tacos another shot—definitely better than my burrito! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a quick lunch at Pelon’s on a busy Saturday, and while the food was decent, it was overshadowed by the long wait time for my order. My fish tacos were fresh but could have used more seasoning to really pop. The outdoor seating area was perfect for people-watching, and it had a relaxed vibe. The staff were friendly but appeared overwhelmed during the lunch rush. I might give it another go since I've had decent experiences at other locations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished lunch at Pelon's Baja Grill and I must say, it was a lovely experience overall! I got the shrimp tacos, and they were fresh and flavorful. The place has a great beach vibe that perfectly suits the location. The staff was very friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. I tried the queso, and it was a delightful addition to the meal. The portions were good, but it felt a touch pricey. If you’re looking for a nice meal in a cheerful setting, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very mixed experience at Pelon's. While the atmosphere was lovely and the service was excellent, the food left me wanting more. The burrito I had was immense, but it was mostly filled with rice and beans. The flavor was lacking, and the hot sauce I added couldn't save it. I was really excited about the fish tacos everyone raves about, but they weren't as flavorful as I expected. I'd like to give it another try and possibly choose different dishes next time since I've heard great things about their guacamole and queso. Overall, not a bad place but can be improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my first visit to Pelon's! The atmosphere was pleasantly quirky, and I appreciated the clean environment. My tacos were well-prepared as promised, though I was expecting a bit more heat from the sauces. The guacamole was a standout—smooth and creamy, perfect for dipping. The staff was friendly and eager to help. I felt the meal was a tad pricey for what I served, though. Still, I would recommend it to anyone who loves good Mexican food and is in the area!

" The tacos at Pelon's Baja Grill are something special! The fish tacos were crispy and the salsa had a nice kick that went perfectly with the dish. I felt the size of the tacos was good but certainly left me wanting more. The atmosphere puts you in a relaxed mood, and the service was on point. I especially appreciated how the staff continually checked in to ensure we were happy. It's a fun place to eat, and I can't wait to return to try out the other items on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me start by saying that the first bite of their fish tacos almost had me in tears—so good! Not only is the food outstanding, but the staff truly made us feel at home. The vibrant decor and beachy theme matched perfectly with the menu's flavors. I particularly enjoyed the guacamole, which had just the right amount of spice. I ordered a margarita that complemented my meal perfectly. The prices are on the higher end, but you will not be disappointed! I plan to visit again before summer is over! " (*Curated Review*)
