We got seated right away and were able to ask for a different seating option with no difficulty. The waiter and waitresses and very nice and welcoming. I had ordered the wrong dish and they were able to help me choose the right one without extra charge even though it was my mistake. They were super understanding and didn’t have any attitude towards me at all. All the food we ordered was delicious and did not disappoint at all. The margachellas are a must along with the stuffed shrimp and nachos locos. The place is decorated super cute as well with a baseball theme. Highly Recommend!

Our servers were friendly and that was the best part about my visit to El Peladito. We waited close to 1hr for our food to come out since the kitchen was backed up. The food was, in my opinion, over priced and lacked flavor. I ordered Camarones Cucaracha. It was a small portion of shrimp and the red sauce was served in a cup not tossed in with the shrimp as described on the menu. Shrimp was bland and the sauce had a store bought taste to it. 2/10.

Heard that this place is good and has great prices. Well 2 entrees with 2 virgin margaritas for $68.90 dollars total is crazy expensive to me ($52 before tax) almost $5 overcharged so check your total because they suggest a 20% and up tip and for any other charges you didn’t order on your bill. We ordered a $20 and $16 entree. The drinks $8 each. My drink tasted like straight up fruit syrup. They didn’t ask if we wanted it on the rocks because it wasn’t blended. I would rather not order it at all if they just said they would make it this way. I had plenty of virgin drinks in the past. I couldn’t finish it even after diluting it with water. Food was just alright and needed more flavor. Portions were on the smaller side too. I wouldn’t recommend this place and seems fishy.

Excellent option if you are in the area or willing to drive a few minutes for great food, drinks and ambiance! We tried a few things on their menu and everything was really flavorful well cooked and fresh ! I recommend the birria tacos they are bomb; really good. They have a wide menu with really good options. Service is outstanding and staff well trained and happy to serve and assist you. I highly recommend this place. Margaritas are awesome i will come back to try something different on their menu. Thank you guys !

The staff is very friendly, but after placing my order there wasn’t a lot after that. The no mamas chef dish has awesome flavor and spicy! Unfortunately it came out very cold and I didn’t have anyone check on me once receiving my order. And that’s okay, it was busy and I don’t believe in poor reviews when people are busy. Like I said friendly staff! great tasting food. Try the no mamas chef either way I’ll be back for sure.

Holy cow we loved this place. We got the bacon covered shrimp for appetizer and it was great. Jalapeño Roll and Carne Asada burrito also shown. All absolutely fantastic. Great drink selection too. Can’t wait to come back.

This place has a cool and had a unique look inside. The staff looked happy and we’re all very helpful. The food was good, I ordered the “Millonario” tacos and were remarkable! Try them out, you won’t regret it.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant since they opened , the service and food was really good . Unfortunately the service was terrible last time i came with a party of 6 , the waiter would be gone for a while , he did not have the best customer service skills like other waiters that have treated me there . He would talk to you in a rude way approaching my guest as “compa” and not in the best way , and still charged a good amount of tip for a really poor service he gave us, he would be gone for a long time with out giving us service , not to forget about the dirty muggs with tajin as well . the waiter had a blue shirt , hispanic young men with a beared . Really dissapointed me this visit .
