I stopped by here for a quick bite. I saw the reviews and rolled the dice! The gamble paid off. When I first walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles and got seated right away. My server, Marilyn took care of me. She was very hospitable and was a delight. I ordered tacos, enchiladas and tried their queso dip, with a side of Jamaica drink. After ordering I enjoyed some free chips n salsa (the best thing about Mexican restaurants!) The food did not take long to come out, and was hot and fresh! Everything thing tasted pretty good. The enchiladas were okay, such as seemed like it was too much tortilla. Maybe they used a thick one? The decor was pretty cool and different versus other Mexican spots. Overall, I would want to stop by again and try other things! read more

My husband and I had a date night here yesterday. It began with our hostess seating us at a booth near the stage, where live music was playing. It wasn't a band though, just a dude singing covers, so it almost felt like karaoke night. If you're sound-sensitive, request a seat on the other side of the restaurant because it got quite loud. We waited about ten minutes at our table before our waitress realized that we were in her section. She was stressed and distant the whole time, though polite when she did check in on us. We ordered a queso and I was disappointed at how tiny of a bowl they served. We had to ration our queso! Red flag. Well, the rest of the food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the Pollo Loco and my husband got pork carnitas tacos. He said they were just aight. My food was interesting. The description on the menu says that it's a chicken dish topped with mushrooms, onions, and peppers. So when it came out, I was expecting mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. It did have red and yellow bell peppers, but the mushrooms were so tiny that I didn't see them until I really looked. But here's where it got weird--they also included broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, spinach, and carrots. Wtf? It was bizarre. Like they just needed to clean out the produce bin. So all in all, my food was weird and his food was just okay. 3 stars seems more than fair. read more

Food sucked, service was good, when I walked in I asked the greeter if she had any specials for Cinco de mayo and taco Tuesday, rarely do these events fall on the same day, she said no but we have Jell-O shots, What ? I want lunch not alcohol, I ordered the 3 beef tacos , it doesn't come with any sides , what a disappointment, my waitress asked me how was food, she could tell by the look on my face that I wasn't happy, I said just bring me the bill and I'll chalk this experience as a future no go, thumbs down for Pedro's, the ground beef was bland, no flavor whatsoever, Taco Bell makes a better taco and that's pretty bad, don't waste your time or money. read more

The food was good. We went for lunch and there were only about three tables occupied. The place is really nice and the bathrooms are immaculate. Now the bad news. Service was almost non existent. We ordered and waited forever to get our water. The dip was not the best but it made us thirsty and no server came until the meal was served. After dining we were ready to leave and the server was not showing her face so i got up to look for her. I saw a table of five employees yucking it up. I went back to the table and on the way i found someone to take our payment. We wont be going back. read more

Very beautiful inside, service is lackluster, it depends on the time of day. I find it a little pricey for Mexican, which I don't mind spending money on a good meal but nothing I have eaten has been spectacular, The kitchen pushes out the food quickly and the plate and taste shows that, read more

The food was great and the margaritas were fun too. We also went on karaoke night so the vibe was a lot of fun. The Dj was very attentive and engaging. We ending the night all dancing together. If you are looking for a great place to have good food, drinks and karaoke this is the place to be. Even just sitting and eating enjoying the atmosphere. read more

Just tried this place for the first time. Honestly Other reviews kept us from trying this place but I am really glad we did come to scope it out. Selena was our waitress and the service was perfect and the food was great. The guy singing was awesome! We will come back for sure!! read more

Feliz Cinco de Mayo, excellent environment! Amazing team and Staff! Food super great, For sure coming back!

This is an honest review of Pedro's Taco and Tequila Bar- with photos. I ordered the speedy Gonzales. Comes with a pulled beef quesadilla, an enchilada, and a Chile relenos. The whole plate was swimming in grease. The only thing edible was the quesadilla. That too was greasy, but edible. I did let our server know. She DID ask me if I wanted something else. I personally wasn't waiting or taking a chance on anything else. I did not yell, I did not get loud, I wasn't rude. I absolutely did not eat it.- I told her I wouldn't. Our server wasn't rude- not at all. She was completely inattentive and didn't really seem like she cared one way or the other. There are too many Mexican restaurants in this city to go back for awful food and mediocre ( at best) service. Maybe she was having a bad day.. I don't know. I hope it gets better for her. So, recap- I paid full price for food that was disgusting and didn't eat. Yeah- not going back there. Who thinks that management will ever see the comments on the reciept?? I don't. read more

Met some friends the other night and we were pleased with everything. Our server was great. He was friendly and checked on us throughout our time there. He even snapped a few pix of us right before we left. The food was really good, really tasty and hot upon arrival. We each enjoyed our meals. I do find them a little pricey, but at least they didn't disappoint with the food. The restaurant was clean so that was a plus as well. It was noisy, but hey, it was a Friday night and people were celebrating birthdays so its to be expected. It's definitely a good spot to enjoy some Mexican food. read more

Very slow inaccurate service. Drinks wrong, meals Wong and brought out barely warm to 4 people. Reminded them missing 2 more meals, a drink and a bowl of cheese. Ran out of chips before cheese bowls made it(ordered 3). The check was wrong. Understand there were 6 of us. But this was a bit of a disaster. read more

Take out Nachos where good but I like with ground meat not chili. But Guacamole is the Best they wer good.

I know I just may have not found the perfect spot in Cali for Mexican food but I'm Slidell I hit the jackpot. Pedro's was amazing. From the customer service to the entertainment. We sat outside like the three amigos and enjoyed great margaritas, conversation and great food. The waitress was polite and took very good care of us. The food topped all other Mexican I've had this year and when I finally get back home I will be visiting here again. I had the nachos and it was huge serving enough for two easily. The flavor was a dance party in my mouth. read more

Food tastes good in my opinion but the atmosphere is obnoxious. Live music extremely loud and it's just a guy and a couple kids butchering good songs karaoke style. Service was nonexistent saw the waitress maybe 3 times. Our bill was $133 and it just my husband and I who had a regular under $20 meal and 2 margaritas each. We ordered a specific margarita with 1800 tequila and we received two completely different drinks. read more

Ordered the mezquite grill for 2. Shrimp were not cooked, steak was burnt ( I ordered medium), chicken was dry. Salsa for the chips had a weird taste so I tossed it. Very disappointing for my ticket of $48.00!! read more

This place is not adequate for live music. The high ceilings result in bad acoustics. People are not asked if they would like to sit near the band because seating assignments are designated by which waiter is next to have customers. This is a huge problem for customers and musicians. If this is not resolved I won't be going there any longer. read more

The absolute WORST restaurant in slidell. Red flags from start to finish. The server was slow (she was new and knew nothing, we gave her a pass). The drinks were TERRIBLE! The margaritas tasted like nasty sugar water, ZERO alcohol. The bartender needs to be fired immediately, she sucks. Several items like appetizers came after I the entree came. Never brought our wrong tacos back out and the food that came had no flavor & was cold. There's no excuse, the restaurant was dead on a Friday night. We told the manager everything and he refused (possibly a language barrier) to take off the untouched drink. We will never ever EVER step foot in this dump. I guarantee you they will close soon, these scammers won't make it to next year! Save yourself and pick ANYWHERE else in slidell read more

I'm not sure what happened here. We lived this place when they first opened. The margaritas was great, now they're super sweet, and seem "watered down" Our Menus were greasy, which is gross, because... well COVID. I ordered the Nachos, was cold, and didn't seem as fresh. My husband enjoyed his quesadilla, but he even mentioned that it wasn't as good as it used to be. I'm hoping they get it together, this is the second time we've experienced this. We often try to give places another chance to redeem themselves.. it seems they've gotten comfortable, perhaps? Perhaps.. read more

The food was pretty good but the service was terrible; our server did not check on us while we sat outside. My friend asked for another beer after hes been waiting for her to come back. she never brings it. she didnt offer us any napkins or dessert. the restaurant was not busy due to the parades on the other side of slidell. Just overall mid level service and still expects us to tip 20% ? Try hiring people who actually want to work read more

The food and service is very good. My table wobbled the Manager Claudia adjusted the knobs on the bottom of the table and the wobble stopped that's service! read more

Wanted to place an order to go. I was told to go to the bar, I follow directions well. I sat there invisible to the 10 different staff members for who knows how long. Finally placed my measly order and of course a different person ran right over to collect the money. I told her she was quick to the money but not the order... As I sit and wait for my order I can not help but think .... what's is going to be wrong with it when I get it. read more

Pedro's Taco & Tequila Bar - Tucked under some empanadas, a piece with a bite out of it... I guess staff isn't allowed to take breaks.... seriously? - Mexican Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

Relaxed atmosphere, casual. Patio for outdoor dining, family friendly, ample parking. As you enter there is a hostess, masks are required when entering the establishment. All staff wear masks, hand sanitizer is readily available. Restaurant appears clean and sanitary. Pedros has a large drink and food menu. As we sat down here came the free nachos and salsa. We ordered the cheese stuffed jalapeno s as an appetizer and the 30oz margarita to share which was very good. As main entree I picked the Burrito Loco with the cheese topping on the side and instead of the soup I ordered the refried beans. My partner decided on the chicken wings The appetizer was okay, served piping hot from the deep fryer and obviously flash frozen frozen and sold in bulk to restaurants. The Burrito loco plate presentation was very plain, a no frills burrito. There is 70% more chicken wrapped in it then steak or shrimp. The taste was bland, small amount of sour cream and guacamole inside the burrito and they forgot to serve refried beans as I requested. I'm not a fan of their cheese topping that I ordered on the side, it has a Velveeta cheese taste to it. My partners chicken wings were deep fried too long and when she requested a red sauce she had to remind the staff twice before getting it. 2 star rating for the quality of food being served. The Margarita was very good. Overall my experience was disappointing. read more

I immediately noticed from the menu that the prices are about 30-40% higher than the typical Mexican restaurant. And there are plenty of them. But we were in the area and gave it a try. Probably the most bland, unremarkable children burrito ever. Chicken very dry. And the price for two people with nonalcoholic drinks was over $50 with tip. Oh and did I mention that the service was bad. But I still tipped. Never again. read more

Fabulous service and food. Highly recommended. Just off I 12. Will be back! We loved having a nice side salad as well. read more

Did get there 30 minutes before closing but sat for 20 minutes before my friend had to go find someone to take our drink order. He still took it and had to come back and clarify. We could have pretty much been in and out . read more

Fairly new Mexican restaurant in Slidell! Passed by it on a number of occasions and finally decided to venture in. The restaurant is beautiful on the inside with Mexican flare. We started off with the complimentary chips and salsa. The chip were light and crispy (like I like) and the salsa was on point. I enjoyed my favorite Mexican dish, a ground beef chimichanga, and my mother had their "Taco Special" that resembled a taco salad, but on a grander scale. Both dishes exceeded our expectations. The chimi was fried to perfection, the portion was very generous, so I only finished one half and shared the other. I forced myself to try the "Taco Special". The taco bowl of the "Taco Special" was the lightest, fluffiest, yet crispy taco bowl I have ever experienced. The special would be good for a health conscious person. I will say that the steak in the special was very tender and juicy. I would be interested in trying some of their other dishes with steak. I would recommend giving them a try if you are in the area. I will be returning to try other dishes, as well as the margaritas. Until we meet again read more

I ,and my two companions decided to stop at Pedro's for an early dinner late lunch. We were promptly seated at our table and the waitress came up and we placed Hour drink order and then I placed an order for guacamole upon receiving the drinks and the guacamole. I was very unimpressed with the guacamole. It seemed to be lacking flavor and consistency and then we made our dinner order. I ordered the steak taco Mexicano, my companion ordered a chicken taco Mexicano and my other companion ordered a steak nachos upon receipt of our items. My steak tacos are very good. My companion had the chicken tacos, complained that the chicken was very dry and unappealing, and my companion who ordered the steak nachos was unimpressed with the cheese as well as it being very sparsely put on the nachos as well as lack of tomato and other seasonings, but the service was good, but for the amount of money that we paid for this late lunch early dinner it was not value for our money read more

OMG this new restaurant is now one of my favorites! The ambiance and decor is so fresh & eclectic! I started with the Grand Margarita w/salt. It was so good! I then ordered Shrimp Quessadillas. The shrimp were large and seasoned perfectly. The portion size was perfect! There was enough to prepare 4-5 and reasonably priced! I will definitely be back again soon to try the nachos. I saw them and they looked amazing!!! read more

I came to this restaurant with a large party of 16 on a Thursday night with no other customers. We waited a long time for service, and finally a new waitress, Madison, arrived to take our orders. She explained that it took so long because "nobody wanted to wait on such a large party". Now was it the amount of people or was it because it was a lot of black people? I DON'T KNOW BUT WILL NOT BE BACK!!!! Madison was so sweet and accommodating so we tipped her, but did not order anything except a meal for my daughter who really wanted something. THANK YOU MADISON, ENJOY YOUR $70 cash tip! read more

Pedro's is a great local Mexican restaurant! We are so glad they are open during this quarantine time. Their food is tasty and their service is fast for the takeout options. We have gotten food from them several times lately and there has always been a steady stream of customers while I have waited for my order. We got the Mesquite Grill Dinner for Two tonight - it was excellent and huge portions. More like a dinner for two twice. We will definitely be back and can't wait for them to be able to open back up for full service. read more

Pedro's Taco & Tequila Bar - Mexican Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

Nice ambiance, but the food was lacking. I ordered a vegetarian dish (from the vegetarian section of the menu) to go from the bar, and the servers didn't seem to know what I was talking about. It was the One Bean Burrito, which was supposed to include a bean burrito, cheese enchilada, and rice. The sever taking the order had to come over to my phone to know what to order. It seemed to take forever to get my order. I had been driving across country and was starving, so I thought anything would taste good. I was wrong. The burrito was okay. I couldn't eat the cheese enchilada. Maybe it was the cheese they used, I'm not sure. But it was not good in my opinion. Chips came with my order, but I didn't try them. Long wait, not great food for the money. They did give me utensils without having to ask, which was nice. read more

Food is outstanding. Great tamales and burritos. Food comes out fast. Food is consistent and all sauces are superb. Dinner is nearly twice the cost for lunch and portions are the same. Lunch on the weekends is still a full price menu. Trendy and fun place. We are regulars! read more

I've been here twice and I love that there is live music in harahan! Who needs the French Quarter! I enjoyed the fajitas and the table side guacamole. The Margaritas are ok... they need to be stronger. This place is huge and is excellent for groups. They have an outdoor covered patio area where the live music is. They usually have the love music on thurs and Saturday nights. Fun atmosphere. Good service. They also do separate checks. read more
