" Went out with friends last Saturday and tried Pelancho's for the first time. The vibe was lively, perfect for a night out. We all enjoyed our orders, though I found my spicy shrimp tacos to be a tad too oily. Service was fast, and the server had great recommendations. I’d give it another shot without hesitation. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm in town for work and decided to try Pelancho's based on its reputation. While the food wasn’t bad, I felt it fell short of authentic Mexican cuisine. The chips were nice, but my quesadilla was just a bit lacking in flavor. The service was friendly, yet it took a while for the food to arrive. Overall, an ok experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" What I love most about Pelancho's is how family-friendly it is! I've visited multiple times with my kids, and they always have a blast. The atmosphere is fun, and the servers are usually friendly. The food portions are substantial, but there were times when the flavors felt flattened and not as bold as I prefer. They also sometimes forget special requests, which can be frustrating. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant will always hold a special place in my heart. The ambiance feels like a celebration every time I'm there! The portions are generous, and while I have had great dishes, some taste like they came from a can. I wish the consistency were better. It’s charming, nonetheless. I'll keep coming back for the al pastor tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've got mixed feelings about Pelancho's. On one hand, I love the vibes and the decor. It’s a fun place to eat with friends. On the other hand, I found the food to be a bit disappointing compared to other Mexican places I've visited. The service was okay, not bad but also not great. I think they need to work on their food quality a bit more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying Pelancho's because I've heard great things. I must say, I was not disappointed! The nachos were piled high, and the salsa had a delightful kick. The service was friendly but a bit slow, which is why I can't give it a perfect score. Nonetheless, the overall experience was enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend it to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pelancho's was a great choice for a group dinner! We were seated promptly, and our server was welcoming. I particularly enjoyed the nachos as a starter—huge and loaded! The main dishes did take some time, but everyone was happy with their choices. The ambiance is definitely a plus, too. Would love to come back! " (*Curated Review*)
