My wife and I were looking for a location for a rehearsal dinner and welcome party for our son's wedding on July 18th, 2026. We started looking in January for the right place to host both events. Our son's wedding was at the Nonantum Resort (fantastic as well!) down the street in Kennebunkport. We called various places, in fairness some were closed in Jan/Feb but there was a limited response even from those places that remained open in the winter. Of those places that did respond, most were not very receptive or flexible and put little effort into making this special occasion "special". We went to Pedro's for lunch and met with their Manager, Jamie Lee Nelson, a breath of fresh air. Jamie Lee welcomed us and spent a good amount of time discussing how Pedro's could host both the rehearsal dinner (42 people) at their new function hall across the parking lot and the welcome party (~100) at the restaurant itself. Jamie Lee invited us back to the restaurant with our son and his fiancé on a Saturday evening in April and she hosted us to try different types of food and drinks Pedro's could offer for these events. She also introduced us to Pedro's owner Norm as well as the chef, both were equally excited to meet us and host our events. We felt completely comfortable choosing Pedro's for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party, our son and his fiancé were thrilled. Both rehearsal dinner and welcome party were exceptional, Jamie Lee oversaw everything. The food was fantastic, the price was more than reasonable and everyone commented how exception both events were. I think the most important part was having complete confidence leading up to our special day that we would have a memorable event, which we absolutely did. Thank you Jamie Lee and the rest of the team at Pedro's, A+. read more

gone down severely over the year. I would first like to say that the waitress was LOVELY, but the food was not. I ordered a rice bowl, and about 5 percent of the dish was rice, 5 percent was other stuff (Including Avacado that was hard as a rock) and 90 percent was lettuce that didn't seem to have been washed thoroughly. as the for atmosphere, it was very religious and i didn't find it inclusive that no matter your background a Jesus Christ statue was watching you eat your meal. unfortunately I will not be going back. read more

Really great Flores Mexican with chill ambiance. Good for kids. Staff was very accommodating of the little ones. Food came out promptly and was delicious. Very flavorful and good sized portions. read more

Good food. Had to wait for a table, in or out - a good sign. . Pleasant Ambience very Mexican.

Off the list! We have been going here for years. Not anymore. Food is just okay. Service is abysmal. Margs were awful. You're a Mexican restaurant. Margs have to at least be good. read more

Sadly I can not recommend this very cute restaurant. Lovely decor and a very nice owner, but the food and service are just simply not what I had expected. Overpriced and some foods very blah just too bland while others over salted. Guac needed salt and the bean burrito had so much it literally made me sick! Happy to attach itemized bill as this is crazy!! 18$ for a bean and cheese burrito that literally had 2 bites taken before getting sick on stomach. I did not complain about food as I had already had issue with the AC blowing on us, so I just didn't want to be "that lady". Margaritas were purchased at bar and were acceptable, just pricey!! Server acted as if we were causing an inconvenience to him having to serve us. And we were very nice to him! Again I am sad to have to leave this review but I feel others should be aware. read more

Pedro's - Food bill itemized - Mexican Near Me - Kennebunk, Maine

We've been coming here since it opened and it's remained one of our favorite local spots. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are consistently great, which is why we keep coming back. A special shoutout to Logan behind the bar, who worked incredibly hard during a busy shift providing friendly, attentive service. Team members like him are a big part of what makes this place special. The overall experience was excellent. The only reason for the lower rating is that we've consistently had challenging interactions with the hostess. The attitude has often come across as rude, which feels out of step with the otherwise welcoming experience the rest of the team provides. Sharing this feedback because we care about this place and want to see it continue to thrive!! read more

Pedro's is a Kennebunkport treasure you'll want to visit twice (or more)! Pedro's is the kind of place that pulls you in with its charm and keeps you there with its people. My partner and I visited twice during our 3-day trip to Kennebunkport and we even tried for a third visit on our way home! Sadly, it wasn't open for lunch that day, but that just means we'll be back next time we're in town. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was fun yet relaxed. The restaurant is filled with religious statues and mementos that give it a unique, eclectic atmosphere - cool, fun, and totally unforgettable. We sat at the bar both nights and ended up closing it down, chatting with every bartender like we were longtime friends. Each one was warm, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with. Meeting the owner, Norm, was a highlight. He's the kind of person who makes you feel like you're part of the Pedro's family. His passion for the place is obvious, and it shows in every detail, from the decor to the drinks to the incredible food. If you're visiting Kennebunkport, Pedro's is an absolute must. We'll be back next time we're in town and will probably be sitting at the bar again until last call. read more

We enjoyed our meal here. The menu had a lot of options and my margarita was delicious. That being said everything was good but not memorable. We shared the elote appetizer and they offered to cut it off the cob-a nice touch. But the amount of raw onion with it was a bit overwhelming. The grilled chicken didn't have a lot of seasoning and while everything tasted fine it was no better or worse than other Mexican chain restaurants. Our server was nice and they have a large outdoor patio. They also do not take reservations so go early. read more

Incredible food, atmosphere, and service. Also, Norman the owner had a great conversation with us that really boosted our experience!

The waitress was not helpful just down right rude. The meat in the burrito had cheap beef that was tuff. My sister taco salad was takin by the waiter before she even finished it. They charged extra for everything. Highly disappointed read more

Great place and location is just a block or 2 off main strip. Andrew provided excellent service and the proprietor Norm stopped by for a chat. The food was very good! read more

Pedro's is always a solid choice for dinner in the port. Typically always pretty busy, but they have nice outdoor seating area to have a drink and wait. Service can be iffy at times -- we waited over 15 minutes at our table before being seen by any waiter. Once he arrived, he was great tho! Strawberry hibiscus marg was tart and refreshing, classic marg is reliable and cheap. Strong too! We started with the chips and guac, which was really really good chunky guacamole. For food, I got the fish tacos. Fish wasn't too flavorful but I added some of the leftover guac on top which made it fantastic. My mom got the carnitas tacos, which I thought were a lot better and tastier. Overall, we always leave Pedro's well-fed, perfectly tipsy, and happy! read more

If you're going during peak summer time make sure you go early, otherwise you'll wait for at least an hour and a half. Once we were finally sat we waited almost 10 minutes for a server to come and greet us. We understand it's hard when really busy but we weren't even acknowledged by a server until then. The skinny margarita was good and pretty strong once we finally got it. The 3 cheese queso was thick but ok flavor; basically just partially melted cheese. Salsa was good and fresh. The guacamole was ok, not much flavor and mostly giant chunks of whole avocado. Steak Tacos - steak good grilled seasoned flavor. Soft taco shell toasted and very crunchy. Not much flavor on its own. There is cheese melted on tortilla as base of taco which was cool. You have to pay $4 more for sides and they were definitely not worth it. The beans were spicy but had no flavor otherwise. The rice was crunchy and lots of sauce on them but again not much flavor. The restaurant had a cool atmosphere and was fun but overall not too impressed. read more

Prima Margarita and Enchiladas, and Fajitas were as good as I've ever had. Waitress/bartender was great!

Good food, nice atmosphere- came for lunch. Indoor and outdoor seating. The street corn is delicious and worth getting as an app. read more

Walked by this place and loved the vibe! After strolling through the shops we were craving nachos and cocktails so we decided to duck in. Service was excellent, the nachos hit the spot and the cocktails were unique and delicious! I typically don't visit places with less than four stars, but I'm very happy we made an exception today. read more

Fun, festive decor greats you from the second you approach Pedro's. On two separate visits, I tried the classic margarita and the strawberry margarita and both were fantastic. The strawberry hibiscus was definitely a fun twist, but for a classic marg, you can't go wrong with their house made approach. The chips and combination of salsa, guacamole, and queso were exactly what we needed for an afternoon snack! read more

We ordered the Fajitas, first of all not sizzling and was all put on one cast iron skillet which wasn't sizzling. It had beans , rice and some slop they called peppers and onions. We added chicken which was steamed or even microwaved and had never seen a grill pan. The reason I gave it 1 stars was the chips and salsa was very good. Don't even get me started on the service. Will never go back. read more

Such a fun spot!! We've been enjoying Pedro's for a few years now, and realized I never reviewed them.. so here we are! :) The atmosphere is very lively and the decor is fun and beachy. The outdoor patio is one of my favorites in the Kennebunk's and their happy hour is great ($7 classic margs, $3 tecates and $5 tacos that are huge!) Service can be a tiny bit hit or miss which is my reason for 4 stars. Though it is always friendly it can be a bit slow at times. We're usually just there for a good hang so it's never been too rough for us! The classic margs are absolutely delicious and I love their steak tacos and carnitas tacos. They had a white queso dip on special that i much prefer to their queso fundido on the menu.. so I'm hoping they keep that delicious white creamy queso on the regular rotation! Their nachos are also super generous and tasty. Oh and their chips are amazing!! On the heftier side and pretty salty (which i love) - it would be even more amazing if you could get a complimentary basket, but they're so tasty I'm willing to pay ;-) I'll be back!! read more

I've been going to Pedro's pretty frequently since 2018 and I've truly seen the place grow, especially recently with new additions to the menu and the amazing workers like Trever and Marley. I recently just took a friend out to the place and they couldn't stop talking about the design on not only the inside but the buildings surroundings. Going there is beyond worth it because the food is just so amazing, just writing about it makes me want to go back. Ps the quesabirria is amazing I recommend read more

The service was good, the ambience was good as well. The food was very Americanized and just not very good. I ordered beef fajitas and received a plate of peppers and soupy ground beef. For the $ I would expect a much higher quality meal. read more

The food here was probably the most disappointing food I've ever eaten. I ordered the enchiladas Rojas which in no way under the sun share similarities with enchiladas other than the corn tortilla and chicken inside. They were covered in a sort of marinara (supposedly salsa fresco) and then topped with enough white cheddar cheese to feed a family. The beans definitely came from a can. The rice wasn't sure whether it identified as Italian or uncle Ben's with some chili powder. The chilli relleno was still cold inside. Massive disappointment. read more

This popular restaurant and bar was not our first, second or even third choice for dinner on a Monday night, our only night in Kennebunk this year, but it was open, within easy walking distance from our hotel and offered immediate seating. My wife chose enchiladas verde while I mistakenly cast my appetite in the direction of chicken fajitas. Though the food was deemed less than authentic, mediocre and overpriced, it did serve to fill our bellies. A return visit is not likely to happen. read more

One of the better Mexican restaurants that I've been to pretty much anywhere. This was only my 1st time but the food, drink, atmosphere & service were all very good. My wife and I both got house Hornitos Margs which were two thumbs up. The chips were homemade and the salsa was tasty/spicy but not over the top with heat. For entrees, I chose the Mexican Street tacos and she chose the Gringo tacos both with rice & refried beans, best tacos I can remember eating in awhile. Service was prompt & friendly. I love the atmosphere... comfortable, creative & different. For our first time at Pedros we'll be coming back for another visit. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the mood for a refreshing Marg and really good Mexican food. Also drinks and food are reasonably priced, won't break the bank for a good time. Enjoy! read more

Stopped in on our way through Maine and discovered a wonderful Mexican restaurant. I am surprised at some of the bad reviews I read after we went. The food and service was excellent, very fresh. A bit pricey but worth it! read more

Pedro's - Meat tacos and stake fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Kennebunk, Maine

Pleasantly surprised. Was vacationing in the area and just happened to notice this spot. Not exactly authentic Mexican cuisine but the menu is about what you'd expect from any Tex-Mex style casual dining establishment. A few items that were enjoyable were: Steak burrito - hefty and flavorful. Nachos with jalapeno peppers - the chips were excellent and the cheese was plentiful and deliciously gooey. Chicken quesadilla - mild yet flavorful chicken with more gooey cheesey goodness. If you're walking around in the Kenbebunk area and you feel like grabbing a casual meal with great service, stop on in. Reasonably priced and it hit the spot. read more

First visit to Pedro's tonight with a couple childhood buddies. We landed here because it was centrally located, recommended by a friend and, well...one of the only places open on a Tuesday in January. We walked in to a vibrant taco Tuesday scene, with 75% of tables full at about 6pm. Great energy and decor. Ordered chips, salsa and guac and the (homemade) chorizo fundido dip for starters. Homemade chips were great, as were the dips. While chatting between course, the man, who we learned was the owner, stopped by and pleasantly greeted us. We were very impressed by his hospitality, especially considering he was making rounds on a weeknight in the offseason after owning the restaurant for 4 years - not something you typically experience. I had the taco special for dinner, one chicken and one ground beef, both if which had great flavor. White corn flour tortillas, slightly cooked on a flattop griddle to give them enough rigidity to not collapse with the heaps of innards. Not dry and well seasoned with a topping of guac on each, I was impressed. Overall great atmosphere, terrific service and great food. Coming in seeing a 3.8/5 rating, I was pleasantly surprised and will absolutely come back. Thanks Norm & team for a great dinner! read more

Tried dining here on Saturday, got there at 815 and was told we could not be served. Wasn't even terribly busy. Maybe 2 or 3 parties waiting. This is the 2nd time this has happened here. There won't be a 3rd time... place has gone down hill over the last few years. We will spend our money at other restaurants that dont turn you away read more

Logan was amazing 10/10 no notes. Took great care of us - food was amazing and best margaritas we've ever had.

My Fiancé and I frequent Pedro's for date night. Thursday nights are great for live music and a nice local vibe. The food NEVER disappoints and the hibiscus margarita is a must try! Highly recommend Pedro's for a night out, especially in the summer where you can sit in the patio and enjoy the beautiful Maine summer nights read more

Nice wait staff. Very expensive for sub par food. I know it is a resort town however the prices are just ridiculously high for what you get. If you want to overpay go to Pedro's. read more

Great food and great service the hostess was super nice and the waitress had the up most respect and great service 10/10 would go again I recommend to anyone who hasn't gone!! read more

The best spot in Kennebunk, period. When you come to Pedro's you are greeted with the best staff and taken care of by the best people. When you come here ask for Lee, he will take the best care of you with the best service. We had the chorizo fondito, the flatas and the best margs ever. This place and the food is 10/10. Go here! You won't regret it! Thanks Lee. read more

This place is so good. The refried beans cant be beat. I always get enchiladas. Also recommend the Chile Relleno

Dined with a party of 4 tonight. Staff was courteous and professional. The inclusion of a vegan option(Tacos) was appreciated. Prices seemed higher and portion seemed less than what I'm accustomed to at similar establishments, but all in all it was a positive experience. The only notable drawback was the music. A mishmash of truly horrific covers of pop songs to a disco beat droned on, loudly, which seemed to make folks talk louder than normal to be heard, which in turn makes for a very loud crowd. IMHO, some Spanish music would add to the ambience of the experience, but honestly anything would have been better. read more

Food is consistently bad, service is subpar, there's a guy who stands around with his arms crossed who maybe is in charge? or thinks he is, doesn't do anything other than that from when my wife and I visited. Honestly I was looking for a place to just have a few drinks and I asked a few ladies where to go and they said Pedro's and to ask for Matt. Unfortunately Matt no longer worked there when I asked why I got a rigmarole of answers. Anywho I would highly suggest not going to this establishment. read more

Drinks were great. Service great. Food was mediocre, at best. Tacos and beans and rice were cold -- literally not even lukewarm. Carne asada was unchewable. Salsa and queso were great, tho. My advice -- come here for apps and drinks and have dinner elsewhere. read more

We were in town for the prelude feeling grateful we go a table only waiting 45 minutes! Appetizers were good but we had to leave before our meal came out because we waited well over an hour , no entrees and our waitress ("the manager"??) never checked in on us and said the kitchen lost our ticket. Other parties came after us came and went. Very disappointing read more

hate to give a restaurant a bad review but the service was slow (1 1/2 hr +), got 3 orders wrong in our group, and the waitress acted as if it was our fault, not the restaurants. generally very unpleasant vibes, although the food that we eventually got was alright read more
