" What a hidden gem! This place exceeded all my expectations! I had the shrimp fajitas and they were bursting with flavor. The owner took the time to explain the menu and recommended some staple dishes. The atmosphere felt welcoming and cozy, which made the experience even better. My only regret is that I didn’t find this place sooner! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing visit for what I hoped would be a fantastic meal. The fajitas I had were bland, lacking the zesty punch I expected from an authentic Mexican restaurant. The service was polite but not attentive enough. I expected more excitement from this place given its reputation. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed the authenticity of the food and the hospitality from the owners. We tried churros for dessert, and they were delightful! Some dishes could be a bit spicier for my taste, but that’s just personal preference. Overall, I recommend Casa Pelaez for a nice meal in a calm environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a delightful experience. I visited with my family for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was. The owners greeted us warmly, and the decor is inviting. We loved the carne asada tacos and the fresh guacamole was excellent! This is definitely a place I’ll return to, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for good Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very disappointing experience at Casa Pelaez. The food was bland, and when I reached out to the staff about my concerns, they didn't seem to care. It was unfortunate since I was excited to try such a well-reviewed place. I left feeling unsatisfied and unsure if I would return anytime soon. Not what I expected given the hype. " (*Curated Review*)
