Have been to this place one other time and they were doing karaoke. I decided to go again with friends to watch the world cup game. They recommended the guac because they come out and make it at your table. It tasted amazing. I felt like something light and got a soup but it wasn't the best all honesty but I feel like it was on me because I was in the mood for chicken noodle soup and knew this was not that. Everything else was really good though my friends got quesadillas that I got to eat. Solid dinner spot very good service always. read more

We tried Don Pedro Mexican restaurant on a whim and loved it. The chicken fajitas and beef quesadilla were served hot and very flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised with the large portions so be sure to come hungry. They have various cocktails and even 320z beer serving. I enjoyed the fresh guac and toppings! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fast service and authentic vibes made it even better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Me cobraron $26 por esto! El gerente no me remplazó la comida ni quise reembolsar mi dinero. Después de llegar a mi casa (30 minutos de esta lugar) abrí la bolsa de comida y me encontré con migajas. El servicio al cliente es pésimo, me colgó la llamada y no pudo responder que pasó con esta orden. After getting home I came to this! I called the establishment and the manager was rude and hung up. Do not buy here. RUDE RUDE RUDE. NO MANNERS. NO COMPREN AQUÍ. read more

First thing served was chips and salsa, which were great and as expected. Salsa can be creamy and watery as a heads up. I went with my partner (he got the Carne Asada Tacos): They were great and had a good serving size of 4 tacos with beans! Definitely recommend if you're looking for classic tacos And I got the Quesabirrias: PHENOMENAL... I had a greattt time so I would HIGHLYYYY recommend this card!! There's a menu with pictures of all types of plates that I selected the Quesabirrias.. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is really nice and clean, service was great and really fast bc the staff have ear , and the ambiance is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a bar area for those interested.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My parents went to eat here as they have been going there for a while and pretty frequently. However, they will not be returning after charging my Mother $30 for an okay cocktail, using Don Julio blanco. Which an entire bottle of that cost $30.. I'm in the industry of the spirits world and I told her to talk to a manager as that has to be a mistake. Nope he gaslit her and said "well we pour two shots in there and we need to make our margins" that's literally the cost of the entire bottle! This was ordered off the featured menu where they did not put pricing knowing people will get stuck with paying. This shouldn't be no more than a $14 cocktail. You're just straight out stealing money from your customers with this little move. read more

Food was delish, didn't take long to arrive and it was fresh. Had to deduct two stars because took a good while for my waitress to come. When she finally did she was friendly and took my order quickly, but once my food came I never saw her again until she brought the bill. Place wasn't packed at 2 in a Wednesday afternoon. But in any case, because the food and horchata was so good I'd go back. I got the deluxe burrito and it was just what the doctor order. Filling and oh so good. read more

Don Pedro used to have the best pollo con crema in the area, one if my favorite tex-mex dishes. Same as their sister ship Azteca Mexican Restaurants'. Any restaurant can have a bad day, but after 3 trips for my 'ol fav it's obvious they have changed the way they prepare this once flavorful dish, and it's not for the better. If you're not familiar with pollo con crema, generally it's grilled chicken served in a sour cream bechamel sauce with onions, bell pepper, and sometimes mushrooms. The key to a great PCC is griddle cooking the chicken first to infuse that great maillard effect flavor, then finishing off with the cream sauce and the vegetables. After ordering and it came back within a few minutes, I suspected the worst. And I was right. The chicken was either boiled, poached, or steamed. The bell peppers and onions were still raw and crunchy. The cream sauce had no flavor whatsoever and the flavorless chicken wasn't even completely covered in the sauce. Obviously cooked separately, then tossed in. Yuck! What a shame! I will say this though, the mango margarita was pretty tasty! read more

I experienced good customer service and food here. The staff is extremely welcoming and cares about their customers. One person I was with sent her food back twice because of not understanding the menu (her fault, not the restaurant's fault). The waitress was so patient with her and allowed her to reorder. Really nice dining room and there is also a outdoor dining area. read more

DP gets live on the weekend. I came during the week and it was calmer but the food was great. We got a Chimmi, Pick 3 (Ground Beef Burrito, Beef Enchilada, & Beef Tostada), and Seafood Queso. It was delicious. Their refried beans are so flavorful. Margaritas are strong, and you get your own salsa! The express burrito is huge, too, as it's my lunch go-to. read more

This was my first time eating here and I went on Cinco De Mayo. I went early in the afternoon before it got too busy which was perfect timing. The restaurant was neat and clean and have me a very family oriented vibe. I went alone and I was hungry! I wanted the chicken quesidillas but they only had the large so I didn't get it. But I had the Pineapple Margarita which was absolutely delicious. I had the Taco and Burito lunch combo with rice and refried beans. The food was good, but the waitress was not as attentive. That was my only caviot but I would return for sure. read more

Don Pedro Mexican Restaurant - Sopa de Tortilla - Mexican Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Went here for a friends birthday. They had great customer service and even did something special for her which I thought was really sweet. They even gave some dessert that I would say was better than the entree I got. I got the fajitas and it was not at all what I expected. The onions were not cooked the way I liked. Usually the meat looks seasoned more but this meal just looked more "white" in appearance and there were more veggies than meat. I was a bit disappointed since I never had a fajita that disappointed me. However, I must say their drinks were pretty good as well as their guac. I came on a day where they had a band going on so that made my experience a bit better. read more

Excellent! We visited Don Pedro for a family lunch, party of 14 with no reservation, but they were very attentive and accommodated us without a problem. Chips and salsa along with fresh guacamole are very good. Waiter was super nice and always checking up on us. Menu has lots of options, kids menu is always a plus when you have toddlers. Highly recommend, excellent customer service, friendly waiters, and of course Tres Leche dessert is the best. Great restaurant for family and group dinning, will definitely be back soon. read more

it's illegal to charge gratitude without NOTICE, it need to be printed on the menu or on the establishment as AD .. or even verbally, your customers need to know that the gratuity it's included for a table family of 4, if that's the policy it's ok, but we need to know. If they don't want to have it printed clear and loud, your server need to let you know. And the 18 % it's before taxes. The 18% of $76.45 it's $13.76 NOT $17.08. read more

We ate here as a group. Aside from the food taking an incredibly long time to arrive, I enjoyed my experience here. I had an enchilada with rice and beans. It was good. Typical tasty Mexican fare. I was a little miffed that the tip was already included in the bill (I was alerted to that fact by a friend after the fact) and yet the cashier still handed me the receipt with a place to include a tip. I double-tipped, which was quite large considering the tip was already included at a higher rate because of the group. Oh well, live and learn. read more

Ok, I cannot even begin to explain how AH-MAZE-ING this little gem is. First off, upon entering this establishment you are greeted with the nicest servers and host/hostesses dressed in the most beautiful Mexican garb. Ambience is very nice too, and apparently they have a lot of fun karaoke nights (which you best believe I will attend one of these days). But let me get down to the meat and potatoes, literallyyyy (well, rice instead of potatoes actually). Anywho! Don Pedro's food menu is plentiful and their dish portions are plenty full as well hehe. Aside from the decent prices and huge portions, the food itself left my belly satiated and satisfied. Did not disappoint, whatsoever. It actually reminded me of a Mexican place back in Gainesville, Florida called La Tienda (highly recommend checking out if one is ever in the area). In addition to the great food, the drink menu was top notch. The traditional margarita surpassed my expectations. It was legit the size of my head at the lowly price of $8. Now ain't that steal. Overall, what a great place, would definitely come here again and again. No doubt about it! read more

Okay, so when they say the best Mexican food in Charlotte, they mean it. It's good for your soul type of food! I love the ACP, I add pineapple, green peppers and Valentina hot sauce. The margaritas are life. You having a rough day? Sit at the bar order a ultimate margarita, wait 3 minutes after the first sip, let the music hit you and enjoy a instant mood lift. Squeeze fresh lime and lemon into your guacamole and your day had improved to the point you want only good things for the world. Then, like MAGIC, your delicious meal arrives, you sprinkle Valentina and are transformed to a whole new person that can take over the world! Your a super star! It's impossible to sit with a scrumptious margarita and be grumpy. As the Great Dane Cook says, it's like frowning on a jet ski! Impossible. read more

Went for the chips and salsa, stayed for the margaritas, and patio seating that gives a beachy vibe We ordered queso & guac for starters. The queso was a smaller potion than expected but was yummy! Our margaritas were great & ordering a pitcher was an awesome idea The guac was the "tableside" version but wasn't made at our table and needed some salt, pepper and lime added We ordered vegetarian fajitas and a vegetarian burrito, both tasted great and we had enough to take home leftovers! Our server was super nice and checked on us throughout the meal. We could hear the mariachi band inside the red which was the perfect volume We will definitely be back for the drinks but may go a bit earlier for a different taste The patio, fountain and palm trees really set the scene and made the meal read more

DO NOT EAT HERE. They are rude and dismissive. I ordered a few bacon wrapped shrimp as an appetizer. The bacon was fried extra hard and the shrimp was dry. I politely asked for a manger. Me: Hi sir.
