Good food with excellent Tequila list. We visited on a Saturday evening and sat at the bar. Both mixologist were friendly and fun! Kayla was breaking down the different variations of the beverages and options, gave my wife and I a little lesson on the different Tequilas available and Mezcal creation...

Visited this place for a networking/happy hour. Decided to eat here since we were already here. It had a fun, casual atmosphere with great food.

Highly recommend trying it out. Had to talk my friends out of coming back a second night in favor of trying something new. Regret that decision. This wo...

Parking can be a challenge but the restaurant is worth it. Great selection of Mexican dishes that are tasty and well prepared. The restaurant is a series of rooms with lots of tables (a little close together), and quick service at lunch.

Best enchilada I ve ever had! Usually not a huge Mexican food lover but this was so good, my husband and I came back here 2 days after our first visit. The queso is phenomenal and the carnitas enchilada was awesome. I would recommend sitting outside or in the first part of the restaurant (where the ...

Really great food with wide variety. My server Sara was terrific and helped my less cultured pallette explore some of the more intriguing dishes. They have everything you could want out of Mexican food and it's just a quick walk from sixth street if you're in town for an event.

If you are looking for a place that really embodies the spirit of Austin, this is the place. Servers are super friendly, bartenders are knowledgeable and the text mex is the bomb! Quesadillas are great, also love the carnitas here!

Delicious food nice ambience. I had the steak fajitas that were generous and lovely. One of my friends had a problem with her drink and weirdly they wouldn't fix it told her she had to pay for it anyway which I thought was poor service. I recommend and Austin the waiter was really nice.

Went last night and had some really good tacos but what set the night off was the excellent service from Nikki! I mean wow! As an ambassador for a brand I don t think you could do much better than her! Top notch suggestions and patience while I tried to figure out what I wanted to drink ( I got the ...

After watching Mystery Dinner and the way they ripped customers off with their BS charity, this is the last place I will ever go to or recommend it to anyone. The owner didn't even press criminal charges against his own staff, what a shame, should be out of business, FOR GOOD!!!

Pelons has a very neat and fun appearance from the outside. The restaurant sat my party comfortably inside. The lunch combo plate was very tasty, yet I felt the flautas and tacos could have used a tad more spice or flavor. The flautas could have also contained a bit more chicken inside. The chips an...

Best meal I had in Austin during my visit and BEST tex-mex I've ever had! Delicious hard-shell tacos, rice, and beans. The queso was AMAZING and our waitress was so friendly and attentive!
It's going to be one of those meals I'll crave all the way from NJ.

First of all, the chili con queso is delicious! It's a white cheese with nothing but cilantro flakes on top. Next the fajitas were out super fast...so good! The service was awesome, we sat at the bar and Reagan really took care of us even though he had several big tables as well. The atmosphere was ...

This was my first time in Austin, and I'm glad my friends and I found this place! I had the chili con queso and banh mi tacos (which had a kick!) were absolutely delicious. The bartender, Jay, made us feel like this was just like a bar we've been regulars at for years! I had never tried mezcal and h...

Well, we went here because Stubbs across the street had an hour wait. In hindsightx we should have taken the wait. The food was mediocre, but everything took 5 times longer than it should've. We were at this restaurant for probably 3 hours, with 95% of it spent waiting on everything. Terrible experi...

Great atmosphere, friendly wait staff, and great patio. Pretty empty during the peak dinner rush when I visited too.

The server was training another employee but was very annoying. He was rushing us to order. I got the ranch chicken quesadillas and the flautas. My friend got the steak quesadillas with mexican corn. The flavor was good and there was plenty of cheese. If you dont like alot of cheese you dont want to...

Simply wow! I recently had an event with Pelons for a rehearsal dinner. Samantha was notably efficient and responsive. It had me at such ease entrusting her to make the event meet my needs. She and Pelons exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier with my choice! Bravo everyone. From the dr...

Walking through the doors of Pelons for the first time felt oddly familiar, like visiting a relative or a friend. The food is served fresh from the kitchen by the wait staff with a smile. The drinks are crafted by hand with care. The entire team makes sure you are taken care of from the time you ent...

Pelon's coordinated a private Sunday business brunch for us for 15 people and it was wonderful. I reached out in advance and they helped me plan a set menu and then made sure we had exclusive service the day of. The food was spot-on and everything was handled professionally on the business-side. Wou...

Chips and salsa were great and so were the margaritas. I got the steak quesadillas and my husband got the chick...

Food was pretty decent. We sat out front though and between the flies landing on our food and having two different homeless guys ask us for money (and being chased out by the employees), it was kind of hard to enjoy the food. I'd eat here again if I was hungry, but I'd eat inside.
