The atmosphere was great! A little surprised no free chips and salsa but food was top notch! We ordered the chicken tinga tacos, my wife ordered hers with no dairy and she still really enjoyed them! read more

Pedro's - Bar - Mexican Near Me - Kennebunk, Maine

Went on a day in December for lunch. Only a few people were at the bar and a couple tables. I say this because the bartender and 1 server were running around as if the place were packed. Our server seemed like she couldn't wait to get away from us. After dropping waters, and not saying hi, she immediately left the table and ran back into the kitchen. This theme continued throughout the meal. We may have that effect on people but I'd like to think we're friendly and approachable people. The food was great. We ordered the queso fundido (bad idea for only 2 people) to start. Great house made chips and delicious baked cheese and meat. We both felt some salsa fresca would have been a good accompaniment. That should have been the entire meal for us but no. I had the fish tacos. Outstanding. Grilled mahi mahi, pickled slaw on corn tortillas. I judge a place on what type of tortilla they serve and I'm glad Pedros chose wisely. My wife had the barbacoa burrito. She felt the it was heavy on the "american bbq" flavor as opposed to the traditional Mexican and Caribbean barbacoa shes had in the past. Either way it was delicious (I had a bite or 4). The Pomelo Fresco she had was "amazing", props to the bartender. Overall we had a good experience. I prefer more attentive service where the guest is the focus, not getting back into the kitchen but the food and drinks made up for it. read more

The drinks are AWFUL. 4/4 of our drinks (different margaritas and sangria) were watered down and disgusting. We didn't even finish them. We are not afraid of dive bars and cheap drinks but these were pathetic. And we had high hopes because the place sounded lively from the street and had great decorations. It's all a facade. Staff could care less about our displeasure too. Oh, and to top it all off we started our dining experience with the cheap chair breaking when my wife sat down on it and barely put her weight on it (a normal 150 pounds!) read more

I've been here multiple times, and every time I was not disappointed. the service, drinks, food, and atmosphere are all fantastic. Definitely would recommend to anyone traveling here or are already living in the area. read more

After receiving many recommendations from friends to give this place a try, I finally had a chance. I was in the area around dinner time and decided to grab a few burritos for take-out to bring Home for my family. My wife ordered a veggie burrito, which surprisingly was 12$, the same price as a steak burrito. While my Steak burrito was ok (def not a 12$ burrito), her veggie burrito was in-edible. The main ingredient in a veggie burrito is usually sweet potato, all of which was hard as a rock and barely cooked. I called to express my frustration, and was offered a replacement, but live a half hour away and declined. They offered to give me a free burrito for the future, but I felt like it should be removed from my bill. Additionally, I gave the person on the phone my information and asked to have somebody call back when they weren't so busy, and I never received a call back. While my burrito was ok, it wasn't even remotely close to being a 12$ burrito. I've had better ones out of shacks along side the road. Also, for 12$, the burritos didn't even come with chips or salsa, nothing, just a mediocre, and somewhat small burrito. My opinion, don't waste your time, Las Olas is only a short drive south of here and blows this place out of the water. Update: I am now changing my review to one star, down from two. I attempted to give this place another chance stopped in at 8 o'clock on Wednesday night and summer, while the place was filled, it was by no means busy and there were at least 5 to 6 empty tables which I could see, and after walking in and standing there for five minutes without anybody saying something to us, the hostess finally walked by and said I'll be right with you. We stood there for another 2 to 3 minutes and she came back and then stared at a board blankly For another minute or two after which she proceeded to tell us that it was going to be 15 minutes until we could get a table, I said are you serious? And she responded yes I am. We walked out. I will not be returning to this establishment. read more

Al pastor and carne asada tacos were great! Sangria and margaritas were excellent. Service was good. Great place for lunch!

Was told 40 minute wait. Have now been here 1.5 hours. The poor hostess has been busser, bartender, food deliverer, and table clearer. There are currently at least 20 empty seats where no one has been sat. Waitress was extremely rude when we asked for bartender who hadn't checked in for over 25 minutes. We are leaving and will never return. If you don't take care of locals they won't take care of you. Enjoy the Massholes. read more

100% the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. I'm from the south and most of the Mexican food in Maine is a pitiful excuse but this trumped everything (no border wall pun intended). I ordered the pescado with capers and olives. It was perfectly portioned, expertly executed, and pleasantly priced. Not only will I go back but I can't wait to do so. The margaritas had no resemblance to Jose Cuervo house mix. Hand made and the perfect way to top off a work week. read more

Queso Fundido was on point but the carnitas burrito - not so much. Cool atmosphere. I'd go again and try something else.

Love it. House margs on point, quick service and the food is always delicious and never greasy like many Mexican dishes. It's def one of my go to spots. read more

Don't bother to stop and eat at this restaurant. I've eaten at quite a few Mexican restaurants, but this is probably the worst Mexican restaurant I have ever dined at. read more

Good food with a casual vibe and an outdoor space. Always stop by when we are in kennebunk.

Came here the other day for a family outing with my wheelchair bound father. We called and tried to make a reservation but they refused because "they don't do reservations." No exceptions. We were assured on the phone it'd be unnecessary to have a reservation around 7:30 anyway. We got to Pedro's, no seating was available except for one cramped table in a the back. My father was forced to wheel through a path that had people standing up in the middle of their meals to make room for him to get to our table. How hard would it have been to save suitable seating for someone with a disability? Really? I'm still livid over the way we were treated. If someone raised their hand to say boo about the fact that they saw a reserved table all that would need to be said was that Pedro's needed a table with handicapped accessibility so an exception was made. So disappointed with this place. To add insult to injury, our table took quite a while to set up and my family was forced to stand in the doorway because their was no place for my father to maneuver his chair to while we waited. There is no lounge area. For someone who is able-bodied this wouldn't such a problem, they could take a walk outside and wait or head to the bar. We had to stay put. Some woman who was dining at a table nearby chose to shudder and gasp and peek at my father from between her fingers. Her behavior wasn't Pedro's fault but if they had taken a reservation for us we wouldn't have had to wait in the doorway. When we left someone had blocked the exit ramp with their car and the owner/manager had to comb through the guests to find the self absorbed sorry excuse for a human who did it and he didn't even apologize to boot. Again, not Pedro's fault that he was terrible and didn't seem sorry at all that he made us wait for him to move his car... But maybe Pedro's could paint a red line in front of the ramp so it remains handicapped accessible. There should also be a handicapped parking spot, didn't see one. Also didn't see a walkway clearly marked to the ramp to indicate the path for handicapped entrance. Onto the food. Avocados are pricey out here, I get it, but the guacamole was lacking in lemon/lime and salt and I suspect water was used to achieve the consistency they wanted. Meh. read more

Mediocre food and poor service. Bad pasty guacamole. Totally understaffed, so the service is slow. Ordered drinks, guac and entrees at once but Never received the margaritas. We asked our waitress if the drinks were coming and she offered to bring them, but we were almost done eating at that point. She offered to pour us more water but that never came either. Poured my own water, got my own napkins, and had to ask the bus boy for silverware and the missing salsa that normally accompanies chips. It was pretty funny that the waitress brought our check and had two margaritas on her tray. We thought she might give us one but we that didn't happen either. In her defense I think she was bar tending and waiting on half the tables in the restaurant. The carnitas were so strangely sweet that I thought the meat might be old. Been coming to Kennebunk for eight years and this was the first bad meal we've had. We still have bad tastes in our mouths. read more

Yum! We ordered the small nachos with the pork and beans added and the orange vanilla flan. Both were delicious! We look forward to trying it for a larger meal. Fun, funky decor! read more

This place is awesome!!! Friendly, infused Tequilas, and the food is LEGIT Mexican!!!! When in Kennebunkport....this place is a MUST. read more

Pedro's - Mexican Near Me - Kennebunk, Maine

The chips and margaritas are delicious! But the rice and beans...not so much. Beans taste like they're straight out of the can and the rice tastes like it's seasoned with packets of taco seasoning. I would not call this authentic Mexican cuisine. Service was also very slow. read more

Latin cantina atmosphere, with polite waitstaff. I was severely unimpressed with the quality of the drinks. Ordered a skinny margarita, and at a Latin restaurant usually I would expect a large tequila selection, but my margarita tasted very weak and definitely wasn't fresh lime juice which for me is a deal breaker. Ordered nachos as an appetizer, and they were very heavily greasy. I ordered the tacos for my entree and was impressed, great flavor and good sized portion!! The entree saved the score for sure. read more

For ME this was good Mexican awesome salsa and gauc and a perfect Margarita. Fixed this former TX girl's carving.

First time coming to this place to visit all the way from NY to Maine & this was one of the top recommended places. The food was phenomenal. I recommend the steak tacos, and the Prima margaritas. The atmosphere is great and the owner of the place is super nice. Definitely a friendly staff and environment. If you ever visit maine, stop by this place for good food and drinks. read more

Huge portions, great atmosphere, and the best queso dip and chips I've ever had. Our party ordered the chicken chimichanga, steak tacos, steak burrito, and steak quesadilla. All of them were great! read more

Pros: the food is good. You will get great flavor from whatever you order. Cons: Be prepared to pay for it. An order of nachos with corn and beans cost us $20. Also, I'm not sure it is quite up to code to have a check holder (what our check was given to us in) held inside a bartender's pants. Literally. Tucked between his ass and his pants. Not what I want to be handed after an expensive Mexican dinner. The staff does not meet the level of pricing on the menu. It can be difficult to get attention from the staff, and then their level of courtesy is disappointing. P.S. Our check was not only given to us out of his pants but it was also put in to our salsa... yum. read more

Amazing for lunch. Very friendly waiter. Best mussels I've ever had! Great burrito. Little pricey but I don't care!

Every product has its own lifecycle. Unless you're an unsuspecting tourist seeking Mexican cuisine in Maine, for whatever reason, this one has run its course. If you can't find at least your B-/C+ game between July 4th and Labor Day, you don't belong in the ecosystem. Don't complain that you're busy when you have 9 weeks of demand on your business. And while (as you snapped in my ear shot) 'we're not a fast food restaurant' (clearly), don't get flustered when someone approaches a mostly empty bar to order a burrito to go and a beer, and spend $35, wait 45 minutes with a child and get a spray of attitude. This is the 4th such experience this summer. Thanks for everything and see ya elsewhere read more

Absolutely amazing! The food is delicious and you can tell it's freshly made. Even with the COVID-19 restrictions, this restaurant out did themselves with the food, service, and warm hospitality. Best restaurant I've had in Maine in my life! read more

Only giving 1 star for service. Food was awful and cold. Came here hungry, left the same way.

From California (we know Mexican food) grew up in Biddeford Pool. The new owner Norm has really made it a point to personally connect with his guest and had done a great job to elevate the experience, quality, and portions. Great night with family. The staff is also focused on safety and health during this challenging time. We are excited to be back multiple time every summer. Highly recommend, especially the margaritas! read more

This place has plummeted to such low levels that I'm not sure their food is even worth getting on the McDonald's dollar menu. I ended up ordering the chicken tinga tacos and the chicken was cold and I could of very well played basketball with it for a few days. The vegetable were canned and whatever mistake could of been made on making a simple taco was surely done. Now onto the drinks a simple margarita should be a staple to a " Mexican place" too much tequila and a drunk college student could of made a better one in their parents basement. Don't waste your money if you have any standards in life. read more

Go for the chips and guacamole and margaritas then leave and find somewhere else for your meals. Meals were disappointing for the entire table of 6. read more

Since we're from Texas, we were excited to see the sign outside that said, "best margaritas in the world". Unfortunately when we approached the bar, three bartenders looked at us but never spoke or acknowledged our presence. It was extremely disappointing since we've only encountered happy, welcoming people on our visit here. Guess the margarita wins last place. read more

This used to be the only Mexican place I would eat, I live an hour away and was looking forward to a good meal, but 60.00 later I'm just leaving upset I even spent a dime, better meals served at chipotle for a tenth of the price. Luke warm, canned veggies, hardly melted cheese, it came out in 5 minutes as if it had already been pre made. What a waste of my hard earned money on a Friday night date night! Awful save your money, they won't last long with this low quality food! read more

As our first time at Pedro's, we were very impressed with the food, spice, and taste...However, the service is plain horrible. Had to ask our waiter 3 times for a refill on my soda over a period of 20 minutes, and when promised rice with my meal, it didn't come until after our party was basically done with their meals. Overall wouldn't return read more

Mexican food cooked by Mainers. Dry chicken, raw tortillas, Dry and bland rice and beans. Poorly cooked steaks with wrong temperatures. Trying too hard to be Mexican and not doing very well at it. Passing next time I'm in town, for sure!!!! read more

The food is great and the mojitos are perfect. However. The restaurant gave away our ten person table when we were ten minutes late, so we were left with three hungry kids and a thirty minute wait. We had a 6:30 reservation, and we didn't get food until 8:10. This may be a great place with a smaller group, but they are not prepared for large parties. That said, I have no issues at all with the stellar Mexican food. Also, our waters never even got refilled and we had to ask to get silverware. Go for the food, but don't expect fast service. read more

What great food and service! A fun place that does Mexican food real well and very attentive staff as well!

Food was really good! Very friendly wait staff. My only suggestion would be to add more dietary friendly options. Most of the dishes had descriptions of what was in it but the vegan one just said "daily". We were at our table for about 2 hours over the weekend, but I understand it takes longer during COVID. Overall great food and a fun experience. read more

Best margaritas in town! Gluten free, dairy free and vegan friendly. If you're gluten free and vegan I recommend you try the veggie tacos vegan style with a side of beans and extra corn tortillas! If you're feelin' it add a Margarita too!! The staff are one of the best parts of the vibe as well as the decor. read more

Been to this establishment many times, being locals, my 31 year old daughter, her fiancée and there four year old daughter, I in my 60, went to dinner Saturday night at 7 pm, encurring a tab well over $150.00. As we were finishing our dinners, we were asked to leave the table to make room for another party which the hostess stated were starving. The waiter came to collect our tab and we asked to see the mgr, and she retold us her friends were waiting a long time and need this table, she then asked the four of us to move to a table for two! I asked how we could sit there being the four of us and she rolled here eyes!! My daughter conducted herself in a very professional manor to explaine she had been in the food industry for ten Years during the past and would never ask a party to move or leave , This was very rude of her and again she rolled her eyes! The party waiting was a very young age group and I'm sure was part of her social group, as she was conversing regularly with them. Did I mention there was a band playing and it was obviously becoming a non eating establishment from this hour on. I will pass this on and will seek the owner to ask of this policy of asking a family to leave! Be aware is what I'm saying here. read more

Me thinks not! Food USED to be really good but service and time to get food to table OR take out, is always dismally slow -- so if you don't plan on drinking your way thru the wait, don't go, not worth it. Very limited parking, esp in winter. Staff isn't all on the same page and female bar maid is just unfriendly and would rather not be there. And as mentioned before - be prepared to pay inflated prices for everything- no customer comps here!!! Seasonal tourist is the only thing saving this joint..... too bad.... had potentially to get it together.... worse every year now... read more

I really want to love this place. It is a really fun atmosphere prices are decent and food is pretty good. Maybe it is a bit to Americanized for my families taste. I guess it is Mexican in Maine. read more
