" After my first visit to Don Pedro's, I'm not sure if I will return. I ordered the taco salad and was surprised to find it was mostly lettuce. The shell was cold and quite stale too. I would expect fresher ingredients, especially for the price. Service was alright, but I didn't feel welcomed by the staff. The atmosphere felt a bit dated, which didn't add to my overall enjoyment. I came expecting authentic flavors and vibrant dishes, and I left feeling underwhelmed. I hope they can bring back the freshness that seems to be lacking! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Don Pedro's was just okay. I found the flavors to be lacking, and the portion sizes were not as generous as I’ve come to expect from places like this. The service was adequate, but the wait for my meal stretched longer than I find acceptable. It’s a decent place if in a pinch, but I probably won’t be making it a habit to return for an authentic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love Don Pedro's until my last few visits. The food quality seems to have dipped a bit. My chicken burrito was more sauce than chicken, which was disappointing. However, their nachos are still a highlight. They serve a decent portion at a reasonable price, but I can't help but miss the authenticity that I felt was there in the past. The staff could have been friendlier, especially during peak hours. I'll likely try again, but only for the nachos. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Pedro's is a hit for me every time. Their food is bursting with flavor and freshness. I often order their chicken enchiladas that come topped with savory sauce, and each bite is delicious. Service can vary, but I usually get what I ordered without much hassle. The atmosphere is lively and fun, making it a good spot for casual get-togethers. I highly recommend the nachos, especially if you're sharing with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Pedro's atmosphere is quite casual, and for someone looking for a quick bite, it's satisfying overall. The crispy tacos are enjoyable, even though I was hoping for a bit more spice. However, I did enjoy the service, which was prompt and friendly. The food is budget-friendly, and I left feeling satisfied, but it didn't quite elevate to a memorable experience. If you need a quick lunch, I'd say it's worth it, but I wouldn't plan a special dinner around it. " (*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*)
