Pedro's Place

  Not the best Mexican food. It can be pretty bland and straight forward-- don't be expecting anything special here. But, it has been a staple of Chowchilla for as long as I remember... The food itself could be better, but the service has always been good & friendly-- often they have no problem making substitutions or special requests. There is a nostalgia factor that comes with the establishment as I can remember coming here with family for as long as I remember.
  When it comes to Mexican food, I have had much better. And, I have definitely had much worse! Pedro's stands the middle ground and I can say that if I am to go out and eat in this town, this one does pass the test in comparison to other restaurant offerings in the area.

  Great food, consistently mediocre service. Some days are better than others, but today was especially bad. We didn't get a drink refill throughout our entire meal, it took forever to have our order taken, and we had to ask for our check twice. I'd recommend going to Conchitas.

  I have been coming to this restaurant for the better part of twenty years and I still love it.  This is no frills, simple Mexican food, with good flavor and that is what most people have come to admire about Pedro's.  I have tried just about everything on the menu, but I will only highlight a few.  I always enjoy the chips and salsa (both made in house) when I go, while the salsa is off putting for some due to it being blended and not chunky, I think it is very tasty.  The tamales are very good and have a good ratio of masa and meat.  The sauce that covers the tamales and enchiladas is also very good, it is not bitter or have a strong tomato flavor like so many others I have tried.  One of my favorite dishes is the Chile Colorado, it always has a great flavor, spice and is very tender.  I have also had the tacos and to liken them to Taco Bell is a gross misstatement.  Just about everything is made in house and has a fresh taste.  The staff is also very friendly and I have never had a bad experience with the service.  Overall, this place serves quality Mexican food at a great price.

  I've been coming to this restaurant forever since is one of the few restaurant close to the plant that I travel to. I would stop going but my boss likes it.
  The food that they serve is very mild and bland... not the Mexican Food that I expect in California. Even the tacos are to "Taco Bell", I ordered some with corn tortillas and it looked like they fried the tortillas before putting the meat.
  The service is ok... no good , no bad. Actually the owner sometimes is not in a good mood and sounds "hurry" all the time.

  My wife and I have eaten at Pedro's a bunch of times. Prompt, friendly service and very good food. We're both vegans and they happily accommodated us. We've eaten at the restaurant, and have had takeout, and it has always been a good dining experience.

  We LOVE Pedro's Place.  We have been eating there for couple of years and have never had a bad experience.  We live in Madera and even though it's a short drive, Pedro's is our first choice for great mexican food.  This is one of the few places where I always eat everything on my plate.  Their tortilla chips are the best compared to other places.  Sometimes we go eat there because we are in the mood for their tortilla chips and salsa.

  Good Mexican food.  Not a lot of restaurant choices in Chowchilla.
  
  Pedros is consistent, and better than a lot of other Mexican restaurants in larger cities.
