What Janice Durr doesn't like about Pelanchos Mexican Grill:
Food was good, service good. There were a couple old people that came in after me, and got seated at the table across from us. As soon as they sat down they started complaining that the drink menu wasn 't part of the normal menu- and they were veryindignant about it. Ugh, why don 't they list what their drink specials are? Waiter came by and gave them the drink menu afterthey asked in a huff. Then proceeded to order... View all feedback. What Kyle likes about Pelanchos Mexican Grill:
Wow. This place is great! Awesome environment, cool little bar (although the TV is kinda small), fantastic food, good prices, and great margaritas!!! View all feedback.

Just ate here for lunch. Food came out fast and fresh. The Tamal is amazing! The chips and salsa was great. Not too busy, but not completely dead. Will return!

Similar to many other Mexican restaurants in town, but the quesadillas and taco salads are fantastic. Always quick service.
