This place is overpriced. Tacos 5+ each. I got one steak and one chicken taco and added cheese to both. I’ve been here before a few times. It’s just way too expensive compared to other Mexican restaurants.
However, the location looks great, they have a patio outside! Wooden seats that have unique carvings. It’s decorated nicely as well.
If you want a cheap bite don’t go here.
The food was good not worth almost $14 for two tacos only!

This was a gem and easily the best Mexican I’ve had in the city based on what I’ve tried in the last six months. The food was extremely flavorful, the salsa was perfectly spicy, they had many vegetarian meal options and the serving staff was so friendly and helpful. We ate way more than we usually do because we couldn’t stop, it was that good. Will come here again for sure.

Went on a Monday afternoon so it wasn’t very busy but the service was great-so friendly and quick! I ordered the al pastor taco salad and it was DELICIOUS. Also got a Jamaica drink and it was so refreshing! Best bang for my buck in a while and it’s BYOB so next time I go will for sure bring some wine!

First let me say the food was good. The guacamole was very tasty and the fajitas and tacos were good. But the service seemed understaffed and uncoordinated. The appetizer came out after the fajitas sides which itself came out 10 minutes before the meat platter. Our drinks came out last long after we'd downed chips and salsa and only when we reminded them. Also while outside seating was nice indoors it was uncomfortably warm.

We ordered catering for our daughter’s second birthday party; we did a taco TWOsday theme! Don Pedro was the highlight of the party! All of the guests were raving about the pork carnitas and the ground beef tacos. We had a few people with dairy allergies at the party so Don Pedro made everything separate so our guests could make their own tacos with the toppings they wanted. We will definitely order again!!

Let me start by saying the restaurant itself is beautiful Frida Kahlo Maria Felix all the classics. But let me tell you is not worth the sour experience you will receive here. It is a cardinal sin that this restaurant is owned by people that have no true connection to Mexican authentic cuisine or so it seems. No pride or passion into the food. We ordered fish tacos and calamari and it was dipped in what appears to be tar from the grill with condiments of yellow grease. Think of it as soggy tacos just like your wet socks on a rainy moist Chicago day. For the non believers, may the photo below expel all doubt from your mind. Tread carefully
To Owners response I personally did not Finish my tacos because the tortilla was too soggy as stated earlier and the picture showed black burned fish lost in the sauce. The person that came with me did finish cause he was starving and did not want to waste 40$ on the soggy fish tacos. Good luck on continuing to rip people off with bad food. To the masses go to jewel two block away north buy some tilapia for ten bucks tortillas for two dollars and fry them for ten minutes wayyy better than this place and cheaper????

We chose to cater our super bowl party this year, and the first place that came to mind was Don Pedro’s. We have dined in at this cute corner restaurant, and always has a great meal. I must admit that they out did themselves with this particular take out order! We ordered 30 ground beef tacos to be ready at 4:45 just in time for the coin toss at 5:00. As I arrived for pickup at 4:40, they were literally wrapping up the last of our 30 tacos. The food was fresh and delicious! The portions were generous and the flavors fantastic. Everyone really enjoyed the food, and let us know! I highly recommend Don Pedro to cater any party/get together, or just as dine in!

Ok wow. Went here after my husband & I walked around north center / Lincoln Square looking for an anniversary dinner. With covid rules ect we weren't about reservations ect. So we picked a couple of places. This was 3rd on our list, but should've been 1st! I always order Chile rellano and this was by far the best, freshest version I've had. It was so delicious. Husband got the steak and it was delicious. It was a nice atmosphere, and a byob on top of it all?? Amazing. Def try it.
