Pedro's of Boulder — Restaurant in Boulder

As former Texans, we have been looking for really good Tex-Mex around Boulder for the last two years. We tried the other highly-recommended local places and usually ended up with a "meh" reaction. With the exception of Rosa Cantina in Longmont, we simply have not found consistently great stuff.

Despite that Google Maps never shows Pedro's when doing an ordinary search (they obviously aren't paying for promotion), in experimenting with the new Gemini for Wear OS app, it suddenly showed Pedro's at the top of its list.

Our search is over. To start with, Pedro's gives you complimentary chips and salsa (like any good Tex-Mex place would). The salsa is spot-on delicious. Next, we ordered a small white queso. At most places the queso is way too bland. Not here. It was perfectly seasoned with a good touch of heat.

We like to test places by how well they do the basics. So we ordered chicken enchiladas and chicken fajitas. Again, both were absolutely delicious.

Our server Blanca made some great recommendations and was very friendly and attentive without being obtrusive.

Best of all, the prices are really reasonable (especially for a Pearl Street location). And they have a broad lunch menu with even better pricing.

We will be...

Walking into Pedro’s on Pearl St was more than walking into a restaurant but instead being invited into someone’s passion. My party of four was seated by co-owner Armando, who made us feel as welcome here as we would have been in his home. The ambiance was an appealing combination of pop culture with subtle traditional Mexican ascents. It was the exquisite care taken in our food that makes me want to return again and again. My daughter and I traded fork-for-fork the chilaquiles and her chimichanga. My wife’s enchilada had a pleasantly unique flavor profile that created a conversation around our little table. And the grilled quesadilla was a hearty assault of flavor and fulfillment. Hailey, our waiter, ensured that we wanted for nothing, and perfectly blended professionalism with personalization. The prices were as amazing as the entire experience. I already have my next dish picked out for our...

I waited at the front for 5 min past the pickup time. The woman refused to interact with me at all. I asked if she would check the status of the order she said “No. I have to stay up here” Then went and cleaned others tables and chatted with servers. At no point did she ask anyone else to check for me. I also watched her smile and interact with seated guests. I guess they just don’t like people who order ahead of time. The hostess is Alexis although she refused to give her her name. A bar tender came up while I was explaining The woman I was complaining about was making excuses and interrupting me when I interrupted her back to keep talking he thenand told me to leave. So I did The order is now cancelled and you lost two customers Also, the order was for Two orders of two tacos and a side of rice Each.
