" For a quick meal, Don Pedro's is solid when you need something satisfying. Their tacos are enjoyable, and the pricing fits most budgets. However, I did notice that during rush hours, the service can slow down significantly. I once had to wait almost 30 minutes just to grab my to-go order. Nonetheless, the food made up for it. So, if you’re not in a hurry, I’d say it’s worth a stop. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried many places, but Don Pedro's remains a favorite. The food is made fresh, and I love their salsa. While some reviews mention inconsistency, my personal experiences have been delightful. I usually opt for the fajitas. They’re sizzling and full of flavor! Can’t forget to mention the portion size – it’s immense! I have always left with a satisfied stomach, so I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone visiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Pedro's hit a wall recently. The food is still decent, but I've noticed that they've gotten somewhat lazy. The service can be a hit or miss depending on who is working the counter. I had to address my order being wrong, and while they quickly rectified it, I had to wait longer. The restaurant has a good vibe, but it’s not what it used to be. I would like to see a return to the quality and freshness that originally drew me in. " (*Curated Review*)

" My kids started asking for Don Pedro's regularly after we tried it for the first time. I appreciate that there are menu options for everyone, and everyone enjoys their meal. Their quesadillas are cheesy and delightful! The service was also friendly; they made my kids feel special. Overall, we continue to support this local gem regularly and are satisfied after every meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Father's Day was delightfully celebrated at Don Pedro's! The service was friendly and attentive. I enjoyed their special fish tacos, which were fresh and bursting with flavor. The place was busy, but it maintained a cheerful atmosphere. One downside was the wait for food, but the taste was worth it. Overall, I am satisfied and will continue to eat here regularly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Pedro's seems to be a hit or miss lately. I recently ordered their combo plate, and the portions were pretty good, but the flavor was lacking. The beans were bland, and the meat could use more seasoning. The service was decent, but nothing to complain about. I think they have the potential to be a great spot if they work on their flavor profile. I'd give them another chance, but I'm hoping to see improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Pedro's quickly became one of my family's go-to spots for dinner. The price is right, and even better, the portions are generous! I particularly love their enchiladas; each dish has a rich flavor that warms the soul. We've never had a bad experience, although on one occasion, the service was slower than we hoped. Still, the delicious food keeps us coming back. If you're looking for a great casual dining experience with lots of variety, Don Pedro's will not disappoint! " (*Curated Review*)
