Drinks were great. Service great. Food was mediocre, at best. Tacos and beans and rice were cold -- literally not even lukewarm. Carne asada was unchewable. Salsa and queso were great, tho. My advice -- come here for apps and drinks and have dinner elsewhere. read more

Pedro's is an all-around experience. Sitting on the patio is a must and the house margaritas are something you dream about. Every time I go, the owner checks in to make sure we have had a good experience and gives suggestions and really seems to care what the customer thinks. The food has such a fresh, made-to-order quality and it doesn't disappoint. The atmosphere on the patio is casual and fun. It's the perfect end to a day in Kennebunkport or worth the special trip for a date night. 100% recommend this gem in a town full of seafood and American fare; it's a fun change of pace! read more

We went here for dinner tonight. Had cheese dip and fajitas. Cheese dip was okay the fajitas were the worst I have ever had. Wouldn't recommend read more

YUM. Got the nachos with grilled chicken and ate on it for days. So good and really evened out cheese placement on the chips. My partner got the barbacoa burrito and he loved it. Great service. Sweet vibe. read more

We were in town for the prelude feeling grateful we go a table only waiting 45 minutes! Appetizers were good but we had to leave before our meal came out because we waited well over an hour , no entrees and our waitress ("the manager"??) never checked in on us and said the kitchen lost our ticket. Other parties came after us came and went. Very disappointing read more

We decided on taco's 7/1/2022 around 12 PM and went to Pedro's. We were seated promptly on the outdoor patio with Matt as our server. He quickly took our drink order and suggested quac and chips for a starter. The chips are made in house fresh and the salsa fresca while tasty is quite bland. It could use a bit of spice (jalapeno) and a squeeze of lime juice. Since we had quite a hearty breakfast, we decided to just share a large plate of taco's (carne) with the rice and beans. The taco's were generously filled with steak and very tender and tasty. Indoors is very cute/quaint and the restrooms were very clean. We definitely will be back. read more

hate to give a restaurant a bad review but the service was slow (1 1/2 hr +), got 3 orders wrong in our group, and the waitress acted as if it was our fault, not the restaurants. generally very unpleasant vibes, although the food that we eventually got was alright read more

Called selected option for takeout. The woman who answered the phone started to take my order. Said she could not hear me and said she would call me back. I waited 15 minutes and she did not call. I tried to call back on a different phone and no one picked up the takeout line. It is okay to just not offer takeout. read more

We had dinner and it was high quality. The enchiladas verdes were excellent. The food was hot and came quickly. The chips and salsa were homemade. The homemade lemonade was the best we've ever had anywhere. read more

Pedro's - Enchiladas verde - Mexican Near Me - Kennebunk, Maine

1. Went for a takeout and took forever to be attended by the hostess. 2. Im American Dominican. While i was waiting just standing there one of the patrons came to give me some money because they thought i worked there. I had to tell them i dint work there. Ill leave that there because it doesn't directly speak about the restaurant. 3. I ordered 2 of the same order. They misheard me and only gave one and charged me for one. Lol thats actually a plus because 7 bucks a taco wasn't worth it. In Conclusion. The Al Pastor tacos weren't worth it. The racial experience wasn't either. Service was probably busy but im just trying to not be mean Maybe there are better items on the menu that i dint notice and now never will. read more

The service was was awful! Ignored by the hostess. Others seated first. No respect. Ignored at the bar. Don't go here if your hungry, you'll leave hungry and very disappointed. read more

Handling COVID very well. There is tons of indoor and outdoor seating spaces well. Staff has masks and gloves and is very respectful The spicy marg and white sangria were delicious. Highly recommend both. We ordered a large nacho to start and the waiter was right - it's HUGE. We couldn't eat anything else. But they were delicious and we liked them a lot. Def don't get the large - they are a bit stacked high so some chips were plain. But we got salsa to dip and it was delicious too. Can't wait to go back to get the tacos. The owner was walking around talking to tables, from a distance. Great vibe for a friendly dinner. You can tell they care about making customers happy. read more

Pedro's - Spicy Marg and White Sangria! - Mexican Near Me - Kennebunk, Maine

Incredibly expensive food for what we got. $20 in total for a plate of a cup of black beans, half cup of rice, and gross lettuce. My friends Chicken Quesadilla was $22 for a small portion. Wtf. Did enjoy eating next to Jesus, though. read more

The new owner - Norm is so nice! He came to the table to ask us how dinner was. Everything was delicious! My husband thinks his burrito is the BEST ever! We loved the homemade chips too! The decor is really fun and the parking surf board wall is a great photo back drop. A must go to spot when you visit. We will be back! read more

Happy hour at Pedro's always good. Wish they offered more non meat tacos for the special. Burger is very good.

We were able to get in without any reservation on a Saturday night. The menu offered good vegetarian and vegan choices. The staff were very friendly, the food arrived promptly and was delicious. We loved the nachos and the taco salad. The highlight was the off-menu pumpkin cheese cake, it was really delicious. read more

Had a nice double date here with my boyfriend's sister and her husband. We had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated which isn't too bad for a Saturday night. I found the decor and the outside of the restaurant really charming with the lights (see pics). I would like to come back during the summer and experience dining outside. The inside was quite loud and we struggled to hear each other but it goes with the territory. We were close to the bar and seated right under the speaker so loudness was expected. The drinks were definitely the highlight for me. I started with the strawberry cara cara margarita which was so flavorful and tasty. You could taste the tequila which is important to me with a margarita. My second (and last) drink was the "pink smoke" which was so STRONG but still great. It was like drinking three drinks at once and definitely made me hit my limit. It was grapefruit, tequila, mezcal, and black salt rim. The black salt was smoky tasting and seeped into my drink making it really interesting to drink (not in a bad way, honest). The food was not my favorite Mexican food but was OK and honestly, the drinks were the main reason we went out anyway. The food was just there to absorb the alcohol You have to pay for chips and salsa or guac. I don't mind paying for guac but I love some free chips and salsa! So that was kind of a bummer. Our server was also very eager to get us out the door and it was obvious by repeated visits to our table to ask how we were doing- over five times in 15 minutes. It was a bit much! read more

Hit or miss on service,we waited over a hour to get food,was told some things take longer than others?Its Mexican food come on!!!! Owner is friendly but honestly don't think he has a clue about what's going on around him.Food is ok,music is loud! read more

The lone spot for Mexican food in Kennebunk and it was rather underwhelming. They have a nice outdoor patio and plenty of indoor seats so that wait wasn't long. The guacamole was smooth and delicious and my husband adored the shrimp tacos. Sadly, this is where things go South food-wise. I wasn't a fan of the rice, as it had a weird flavor. Also, the beans were rather hard. The beef also had a funky taste. It was sort of spicy, but the flavor was also a bit sweet. It just didn't work for my tastebuds. The margaritas were just okay, we can make better at home. Service was quick and our waiter was friendly. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back unless it was for drinks and chips/guacamole. read more

Had a great dinner at Pedro's. Friendly, authentic service. Good Margaritas. The chilli renellos were fantastic. Just a very good dining experience for a reasonable price. read more

Called on a Monday to see if we needed a reservation for a party of 8- were told to come on in, no reservation needed. When we arrived we were told the wait would be 20 minutes. No problem. 40 minutes later when I checked with the hostess she said their kitchen was backed up and it would be another 20-30 minutes. While I was discussing this with our party they then called us and told us they would not be able to accommodate us at all- after we had waited for close to an hour. I'm giving 2 stars because they make a great margarita, otherwise it would be 1. Very poor service to customers. read more

The only reason I did not give this restaurant 5 stars was the live music combined with the closeness of the tables made normal conversation impossible.The food was great and reasonably priced. The service was friendly and efficient. The musician that was playing was way too loud. read more

What a RELIEF it was to find a "bar" in Kennebunk that was open! We had some fabulous drinks, including the Painkiller, which tastes something like summer and also something like Christmas. 6 tacos was way too much for our two people- we left one and a half behind. The food was well-seasoned, and so were the bartenders, thankfully. If and when we return to Kennebunk, we will be back, Pedro's! Thanks for the lively lunch! read more

I'm vegetarian and have a very hard time finding good vegetarian Mexican food - Pedro's does NOT disappoint. My favorite restaurant in Kennebunkport - I've even driven over for a day trip just for Pedro's. People need to be patient - all of hospitality is having problems with staffing. Be kind folks - just because it takes longer sometimes doesn't mean it isn't worth it. Yum, Yum, Yum! Going back next week! read more

What happened to Pedros? It used to be gourmet Mexican. The chef there made everything great and you left there delighted and full. The restaurant team was great! They all had fun together and so we all did too. It was just a fun place to be. Nobody made a better Pain Killer or Margarita. Now the food is dry, too spicy, leaving you with a stomach ache! And the margaritas are way too sour I want my old Pedros back read more

The host was not very warm, when she put our silverware and cups down she said nothing to us, she looked pissed and like we were an inconvenience. She also got annoyed when we didn't know where the host stand is (it wasn't really in an obvious place). Waitress was friendly, so that was nice. That was really the only service positive. The food. The food however was just bad. The nachos I will give a 6/10, too much cheese, really oily. I got the taco salad-low quality lettuce, dry chicken, rice lacking any flavor. So sad to taste such underwhelming food, because the outdoor ambiance was immediately what made us so interested to come here. Tastes like school lunch on Taco Tuesday..yikes. read more

Food was good. Prices have gone up. One server moved a high chair by me 2x. First time she stood holding it over her head leaning into me for what felt like a long while but was probably less than 3 min. During that time I could move my arm to eat because the server had it pinned and the chair was over my shoulder. It slipped banging me in the shoulder. She said sorry without looking at me and went to get another high chair. Did it again. Only nudged me but didn't drop the chair. She laughed when my husband asked her to stop while I ate. Why four stars? Our server was exceptional. So attentive without being intrusive. Packed my leftovers really well. Smiled. So nice. Didn't get her name. Long hair. Not college age. Plus the food was good. Nachos and shrimp tacos. read more

This place was great. We went here over Labor Day weekend, and figured it wouldn't be busy cause everyone would be at seafood restaurants. We were wrong - the place was packed. Instead of waiting the 30-40 minutes, we were lucky to find spots at the bar where we had a great view of the tv with the Women's US Open Final on. The service was a bit slow, but I think it was due to the crowds over a holiday weekend. All staff that we dealt with was so friendly. We both started off with house margaritas - which were delicious, and chips, guac and salsa. It honestly was some of my favorite chips, guac and salsa that I have ever had at a Mexican restaurant. For food, we ordered the corn de crema (I think that's what it's called), and burrito bowl and a taco plate. All of the food was delicious, and came in great portions for a reasonable price. The whole menu was pretty reasonably priced. Really liked this place, and who doesn't love tacos. So you can't go wrong. read more

I strongly suspect Pedro is a guy from Maine who visited Texas one time and decided to come back and open a Mexican restaurant. For us, Pedro's was just okay. We waited an hour for a table (perfectly okay) and then waited 20/25 minutes in clear sight at the first table on the patio without a server. Multiple employees walked right by us and none said a word. I finally went to the hostess stand to complain. We did receive a server and he was a really nice guy, but what a terrible start to the meal. The queso fundido was the best part of the meal. Greasy, but very tasty. Probably would have been okay with that and drinks. The rest of the food was only okay. One comment I have to make is that whatever those fajitas are, they are not fajitas. We received big thick slices of steak on top of some lightly sautéed peppers. No seasoning on the meat. No carmelized peppers and onions. There's no way those slices of steak were meant for a tortillas. They were large enough they needed to be cut with a fork and knife. The meat itself was tasty, but it was not fajita steak. The burritos were large and pretty tasty but were served with nothing else. Just a grilled burrito on a big plate. Odd. I don't know, I mean we left full which was good, but I can't say we'd come again. read more

Very pleased! Stopped here with family visiting from NY and we wanted snacks. We got the queso dip to start - it was great! Not your typical queso, chorizo sausage with cheese and chili on top. Well done and the balance of hot and sweet was perfect. Tortilla chips were not great but good with the queso! I got the sopa (mussels, fish, shrimp) in a spicy broth and it was so delicious. I am in love with the broth and would order this many times again. Burritos and tacos were ok, pretty basic ... service was excellent and our server was friendly and efficient. Will definitely return. read more

We love Pedro's! We are locals and have been going there for years! Happy hour is reasonable. You can get a Margarita for 7$ and a beer for 4$. The staff is always friendly and they work extremely hard at helping you promptly. The ambiance is festive and a fun change from the sea decor! Our go to place! PL read more

I would love to give this place 5 stars. Virtually everything was excellent. Their chips, which were definintely homemade, were awesome. We had a few tacos, some nachos, and one other meal. All of the food in general was fanastic. Service was exceptional, as were the margarita's! Why I can't give it 5 stars is because they don't use fresh jalepeno's on anything: they are clearly from a jar. This really impacts the taste and mouthfeel. I was incredibly disappointed because of this. For such a good restaurant, and a "true" Mexican place, to not use fresh jalepeno's is like a craft brewery serving Miller Lite. As a lover of jalepeno's, it really threw a wet blanket over whole meal. read more

Unfortunately, food was not great. We were craving Mexican and it's hard to get Mexican food in the area. This did not do it.

We rolled through Kennebunkport during the prime lunch hour on the first warm weekend of March, so all the patios were jumping. We've had luck with Pedro's patio in the past, and so we gave it a shot. All that was available was a low-to-the-ground table with some adirondak chairs. The hostess was super sweet in leaving it up to us and we were thankful for any port in a storm as we were hungry and didn't want to keep wandering the streets of KBPT. I've always loved the patio vibes here and mid-March was no exception. It was in the 50s, but still March in Maine so they had some heaters going and the firepit, which added to the atmosphere. As mentioned, it was busy but our waitress was great and we never had to wait with empty glasses. With the small table and laid back chairs (had to sort of sit on the edge), we were not going to attempt to eat a burrito and have half on our laps or the ground, but it worked out great for some of their awesome margaritas and snacks. Guac was pretty good, no jalapeno or cilantro that I tasted, but still tasty and I love that they fry their own chips. Also, their salso roja is phenomenal. Nice to have an option that doesn't just taste like jarred salsa. Flautas were also pretty great... just some good ol Texmex. Pedro's came through for us again and honestly I can't wait until the next time we're back on that patio having some bevs. A nice, non-pretentious spot in Kennebunkport. read more

This is a really nice restaurant. It's not super fancy, and it fits into the Mexican restaurant profile. But the food is really good. I had the nachos and a good IPAA from Maine, and I enjoyed the decor and the feel of the place. They have a pretty neat selection of sombreros that decorate the ceiling. And it really feels like a restaurant right out of Mexico. I was there in the early spring, so the patio was not open, but they have some neat outdoor direct decorations including a bunch of surfboards that line the parking lot. There was a broad group of patrons, from wealthy older couples who are well dressed and on a date to younger millennial out for a night on the town. Kennebunk is pretty quiet this time of year. I bet it's really hopping in a few months, and I would think this would be a great place to come after a long day at the beach or walking around the town. I recommend. read more

"New chef" forgets to make food orders...after an hour and a half we got 2 drinks each and chips

Kennebunk is me and my girl friends' place to go for a girls' weekend. Pedro's is always our no. 1 spot to stop. We love their margaritas - the El Pepino with muddled cucumber is the perfect compliment to a heavy (but delicious) cheese-laden meal. Specifically, the bomb Queso Fundido appetizer. The queso is made in a little crock which helps get the cheddar cheese really nice and crispy on the edges while keeping the middle super gooey, like, can stretch two feet gooey cheese mmm. I could spend all day scraping off every little crispy edge of cheddar cheese on the crock and lick it. I also got the fish tacos with a side of corn, which was fantastic. It can be a bit crowded and a decent wait but we enjoy our time there each time and the service has been good. read more

Pedro's - Mexican Near Me - Kennebunk, Maine

American Mexican food with a mix of folk music, radio hits, and Bob Marley playing in the background. Owned by a white man. I've been here once before and the food was decent but this time the beans were served in a dry lump and had a burnt tinge to them. I ordered a chicken tinga taco and mexican street corn taco with a side of rice and beans. I will say the drinks were great though. Would come back with friends but not if I were in the mood for Mexican food. read more

Excellent spot. Good Mexican food. Great margaritas. We did takeout and Maddie did a fantastic job taking our large order and exemplified superior customer service throughout. We will definitely come back next time we are in Kennebunk. I had the rice bowl with haddock, usually mahi mahi but they were out. Great flavors and lightly fried. Kids loved the quesadillas and burritos. Lots of meat in the Barbacoa burrito as well. Well done. read more

Adam makes the absolute BEST margarita I have ever had, and I have had plenty. Also LOVED the chips and salsa (didn't order a meal). I would highly recommend the margs at Pedro's. read more
