Somewhere along the line, this place went from a fun distraction with a light-hearted style and passable food to a place that I avoid at all costs. The last time I was there, the bathrooms were so disgusting I had to walk next door to use their bathrooms instead. Just dirty toilets, paper towels strewn everywhere. I...

Had the chicken strips and they were good, buffalo sauce not so good. Bartender was ok, but with one other person at the bar I expected more attention. Overall it was good, but not great. When it's slow you need to shine, not be average.

This is a breakfast review. If you want a simple, big breakfast at a modest price, this is a solid option. In fact, a good place to have breakfast after a big night out. If you need it to help your recovery, you can get a good bloody mary or just a screw drive with your breakfast. Tons of great TVs.

The item you pick for your dinner can quite literally make or break the experience here. That is, your cheesy, Americanized Mexican food experience. I tried the vegetarian tamale and it was nothing less than awful. No cheese anywhere, no flavor, just HOT. Ok yes, the menu indicates this a \"spicy\" dish, but it did...

If I could give no stars, I would have. Coming from Texas, this place is a disappointment. It just sucks. They have real Mexican's working for them, yet they can't even make an even tortilla. They are always puffy, misshapen, to thick etc. Most of the food comes out cold and doesn't even make sense. Disgusting!

The west side location was way better. After they shut down I started going to this one. The food isn't as good and the fresh made tortillas are always either hard, cold, or burnt. Half the time I'm there they screw up my order. One time there was a miscommunication between the waitress and my boyfriend which ended up ...

DO NOT EAT HERE! The food is microwaved and tastes like it came out of a box. Yes, they have homemade tortillas, but the stomach ailment you suffer from after visiting here is totally not worth it.

Absolute worst Mexican food I have ever eaten, period. \n\nIt's like Mexican food for people who don't like Mexican food. Much of the food had little taste to it. I would rather eat Taco Bell, and I don't like Taco Bell.

I have to give Pedro's a \"good news, bad news\" review. I tried the Camarones wrap - big mistake. The shrimp were barely warm and slimy. The rest of the filling in the wrap was also unappetizing; shredded lettuce and maybe some tomatoes in a disgusting creamy sauce. After 2 bites I had to give up, I couldn't chok...

Pedro's is a place that I remember fondly from my childhood. We used to eat there from time-to-time when I was a kid. \n\nSadly, the place hasn't seemed to evolve much since the 80's.

Was staying at the comfort inn next to Perkins and the clerk told me they gave 10% off for guests. I figure I'd get a late night burger and I wasn't disappointed. I called and ordered. It was coming off the grill in the time it took me to walk over. Burger was good and staff was friendly.

Not so good. Eggs were overcooked, I could not chew the whites, and the hash browns were burned on the outside and raw inside. Come here for desserts only, not breakfast.\nThe service was excellent and friendly and the restaurant was clean. Prices were quite high, three eggs and hash browns was $14.00 with coffee.

If you go here for the muffins only, it's 5 star. The food is never as good as I want it to be. The cheese in the ham and cheese omelet seemed processed and the ham seemed canned. The turkey is processed butterball. Stick with the bakery.
