Don Pedro's Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Florida

Took us a while to decide... so many choices in the area for good food. Seated quickly. The salsa and chips were on the table within 4 minutes with a drink order. Yum. Such a fresh taste. And the chips were crisp and wonderful. Definitely able to handle any of the drips or salsa you'd want to order. And not too salty. The salsa though. Full of flavor and not too spicy. Bistec a la Mexicana and Veggie enchiladas. (We do eat meat and veggies, we're just trying different things.) Bistec was delicious. Grilled steak, onions, tomatoes, peppers sautéed in their house tomato sauce. Served with warm tortillas (I chose the corn tortillas). The steak was tender and flavorful. Rice and beans were basic to most other restaurants. Not surprise there. Ate 'em all. I'd order this again. Enchiladas had cauliflower, zucchini, and carrots, as the main veggies. A few mushrooms too. The red sauce certainly added to the flavor. Topped with cheese. Yum. The smoky flavors from the red sauce made it. Certainly glad to have this restaurant on the radar now. And I'm not sure if this is a touristy or local place. Either way is ok with us... because it was delicious and the prices were good too. Excellent friendly staff on a busy Monday evening. Oh...and the warm churros... oh my! No wonder they brought extra...

This Mexican restaurant got good reviews but now I am thinking there are a lot of people who don’t know good Mexican food. I had a vegetable chimichanga which wasn’t bad but had a broccoli and cauliflower pre made mixture in it which I always find weird. I asked if I could just put specific veggies in it and the waitress said it was an up charge. One friend ordered a margarita which wasn’t the best and the waitress was rushing around and spilled a good amount of it on the tray before it got served. It wasn’t even that busy when we went ...maybe 6 families? That friend also had beef tacos with meat she couldn’t identify. Another friend had a pork tamale and beef enchilada that were average at best. The one really good review was for a seafood chimichanga which my friend’s brother raves about ... this was after the second attempt to bring out his correct order. The only plus side is that we spent $10 each on a meal. The atmosphere was also lacking for an ‘authentic’ Mexican restaurant. Next vacation I am just going to bring my own packet of Spanish rice along and...

I don't know if its because I'm from Texas or my wife from Mexico, but this food was awful and it was not a real Mexican restaurant. In fact, from my option, it was not even Tex-Mex. Not sure how they got high ratings. They brought out the chips and half were soggy. Then the "salsa" they brought was out of a can and was like ketchup and tomatoes, not spicy or good at all. I ordered fajitas which I thought could not be done bad, I was wrong. The meat was chewy and had no seasoning and on top of that, it was served over a huge bed of onions, there was more onion than meat. The tortillas were cold and looked to be out of a store bought bag vs home made. The refried beans were out of a can and the rice had no flavor. My wife ordered enchiladas. She got two chicken tacos covered in a red sauce, heavy cream and some other stuff. This is not an enchilada. Her rice and refried beans were the same as mine. My daughter got flautas that were cold, flavorless, and super...
