    Pork and chicken
    Sharon L.

    Update: I've been getting pork and chicken every time so far but today I tried the tamales oaxaquenos for the first time and OMG. Salsa verde con pollo. Amazing. Pretty sure I wiggled in happiness with the first bite. Definitely absolutely for sure getting these more often!

    Excellent moist tamales. Doesn't crumble and leave a dry taste and has excellent flavor.

    Are the tamales gluten free?

    Hello, as of right now not our entire recipe is gluten free. If you have any allergies or just simply prefer gluten free, it can absolutely be arranged for you. Just give our business number a call. Thank you!

    The ratio of meat to masa was also great and balanced.

    I haven't been to Pedro's in a decade. When a colleague suggested Pedro's for Cinco de Mayo, I gave…read moretwo thumbs up! For the day, they were giving out free chips and salsa. Shoot, I thought it was always free but I guess they charge $6! I had the combo chicken enchilada with the beef taco with beans and veggies for $24. I like the customization especially since I'm trying to lose weight. It is a bit expensive, but it was delicious. Service was good. She was very attentive and personable. We sat in a courtyard area which was bright and sunny. I would come back to eat again at another time.

    Extremely disappointed with our Mother's Day experience at Pedro's…read more To start, our party was completely forgotten after checking in with the hostess/waiting booth. After waiting over an hour, we noticed another large party that arrived after us being seated first. Only after we spoke up did staff realize they had entirely forgotten about our group because they were preparing to close. A very disappointing first impression before we even stepped foot inside the restaurant. Once seated, we ordered drinks and experienced the buffet, but service after that was almost nonexistent. The entire experience felt rushed, as if we were no longer welcome because we ended up being among the last guests there -- something that could have easily been avoided had we been seated when we were supposed to. What makes this even more upsetting is the cost. Our bill was over $630 before gratuity and additional tip. For that price, I expected attentive service and a memorable Mother's Day experience, not to feel forgotten and rushed out. I've honestly received far better service at restaurants costing a fraction of the price. The only thing I truly enjoyed were the waffles, but even then, I can easily find restaurants with similar or better food quality and significantly better service. Will I return? No. Would I recommend coming here for holidays or special occasions? Absolutely not. There are many restaurants in the area that provide far better food, service, and overall value for a fraction of this cost. Unfortunately, Pedro's was not one of them. Pedro's, do better. Customers should never feel overlooked, rushed, or exploited -- especially on occasions meant to celebrate family and mothers.

    We went yesterday March 15th, for my friends birthday, we had a group of 6 and tip is added at 20%…read moreon 6 or more people. I would suggest that the serve mention that when taking orders so we know. Just because it's at the very bottom of the menu I didn't notice it until I asked for a dessert menu. The food was so good! We had Mexican jambalaya, Carne asada plate, tacos Dorado, enchiladas with both sauces, parillada, enfrioladas (bean enchiladas) tacos de pescado, Don julio flight, multiple drinks and churros. The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling. We also ordered a tres leches cake but we didn't like the tres leches cake, it was too sweet, so sweet that we couldn't taste the filling which we assume was pineapple lol the color was yellow with pieces of fruit but we couldn't taste it. Overall the service was great and quick. I would definitely come back here.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up. There was only one server working and she was really hustling to meet everyone's needs. Plus, she was friendly. I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

Our cups especially. They mentioned they are running out of cups, but that isn't an excuse to give out water to the table with every cup being stained with Tajin. - Everything on the sharing grill was a bit bland. - Restrooms are terrible. There are only two single stalls and the line to wait is in the way of the workers, so we had to move back and forth to let them through.
