I stopped by for lunch yesterday on the recommendation of a local I ran into while furniture shopping. The food was sooooo good! Service was quick and the ambiance was on point. I highly recommend going and trying it for yourself! read more

This was a mistake going to this restaurant. The reviews must have been done by family and friends. The food was really terrible. Taco Bell is actually much better. We spent $55 for terrible food. I don't like giving bad reviews, however, this might save someone from going there. read more

It's not a fancy restaurant 5 star rating BUT I haven't been here in over 5 years and it was like the first time I had their burrito. It hasn't changed like most places the portions get smaller or taste different. It was just like going back in time like before covid. Perfect service! I really appreciate having a good burrito too! Thanks for keeping up the good cooking! read more

This place takes advantage of you. When you order from doordash. They don't include salsa. They leave stuff out. They serve it messy to you. Food is go okay but they forget and don't pay attention to any special items you request. They just don't seem to care read more

Pelayo's might not win any design awards -- the interior's pretty plain, kind of that old-school diner look -- but don't let that fool you. The food here goes crazy in the best way. The carne asada fries are amazing -- perfectly seasoned meat, crispy fries, and that messy, cheesy goodness that makes you forget calories exist. Straight-up comfort food heaven. The service was super friendly and surprisingly quick. Bonus points for the free unlimited chips -- not just filler chips either, they're fire asf, fresh, and perfectly salted. It's the kind of place that's not trying too hard -- just serving up good food with good energy. If you're in Fairfield and craving solid Mexican comfort food, Pelayo's is absolutely worth a stop. read more

I have been repeatedly visiting this restaurant for many years. My motive for coming here is my favorite Lengua Taco prepared to perfection with pica de gallo. Stands out as one of the best. Service was good. Clean and peaceful dining. read more

I would love to give them a great review, but from the service to the food. It's a huge no go for me. I have been coming to Pelayo's for 25 plus years. And it's literally sled into the ditch. My order was not only wrong. I had to go back for my burrito they didn't bag. My order was wrong so I also had to get that fixed. I don't usually complain but I am going to this time. Please check your order and just save your money don't go here. read more

The service was very friendly. But their food was okay. Not bad but not good either. It was in the middle

This place has Amazing service:-) They 2 young boys that work here are very polite and courteous. The Food is delicious and the price is well worth it. I Give this place a 5 star Come Check it out and see for yourself! read more

Food at Pelayo's was just okay. We've eaten at the restaurant two or three times. It's not our first choice for Mexican food, but we ordered there because delivery was available through DoorDash. Overall experience was satisfactory. read more

Oh my heavens, just 3 stars?! What the H is wrong with you people?! This is 5 Stars all the way!!! I just moved here after spending my last 25 years in Southern California. I have searched high and low for a place that serves handmade tortillas and chips. And this it! They are so ridiculously delicious that I went two days in a row. Their lengua is absolutely divine and their chips are as addictive as heroin. I assume. I've never tried heroin but from what I understand, it's very addictive. But I digress. All the salsas are scrumptious and the Staff is so nice I had both soft and hard tacos, haven't picked a favorite yet, as well as a cheese enchilada. My son loved the burrito and my fiancé was disappointed she only ordered the Child's quesadilla. Next time, she'll definitely order the bigger one. Pelayo's, thank you for becoming one of my new regular spots. read more

Great burritos. So far I've ve gotten the Chile verde and Chile Colorado dry burritos, they come with rice, choice of beans and meat, with either a dry version (meaning no sauce on top) or "drenched" in a mild sauce. I'm old school so I prefer the dry version, but the pictures on the wall and pictures taken from other customers and posted on Yelp hint that those too are flavorful. Anyway, my take out bag had a little bag of chips and a saLsa dip, along with the burrito and napkins. Free of charge.. Oh and don't let me forget about their aguas frescas. Today they had horchata (rice milk with sugar and cinnamon) and fresa (strawberry). The fresa is so good, especially now during tthese hot summer days. A mask is required inside the restaurant while ordering. (Obviously one can take it off to eat) or you can sit outside. They have hand sanitizer at the front counter. No soda refills at the time. All the workers are wearing masks and there is a pexie glass shield at the cashiers. I felt safe. Enjoy. read more

I literally just ordered and received my DoorDash order of a burrito and some chips. The chips and salsa or separate, and in a separate container. When I opened up the container with the chips, it was 90% crumbs. Very disappointed, as the quality of the food here is good, but to pay seven dollars for some crumbs is ridiculous. Maybe next time read more

I have been here a few times. The burritos are good and service was polite and fast. This place is usual not crowded but it can get busy with take out orders. Worth a try. read more

I have eaten at this establishment several times over the years. If I could rate this a 3.5, I would. The food and service has been pleasant and the employees always appear busy and hard-working. It's always busy during lunch, so they must be doing something right. I have only eaten their super burritos served wet and regular. A wet burrito is served with a enchilada sauce over the burrito. The only feedback I would give is to reconsider offering the salsa bar with open self serve tortilla chip bin during the pandemic. This seems like a bad idea and can spread germs. read more

We eat here multiple times a week. So good. We like the enchiladas and crispy tacos. The Tres leches cheesecake is so good too.

Family loves coming here for lunch. Always a nice peaceful time. Love the salsa bar always fresh ton of options and totally up to you what you want to put on your order which is nice especially with kids. Very large sized tacos. Great prices. read more

I understand establishments get busy and overwhelmed with customers but that does not give you the right to be mean to the ones waiting to be helped. I tried calling in my order and was told it was going to take 30mins; I asked if I can place an order and was told to hold on. After 16mins the cashier finally got back on the line and said we're extremely - by this time, I was in line waiting to place my order. When I got to the register, I asked him why did he have me on hold so long, he said people were coming in and he had to take their orders. WTH! Aren't I not a customer? So I'm thinking, if you're not going to take phone orders, don't answer the phone! So I place my order and this jaycat has a major attitude. He totals my order, I gesture my card, he snatched my card y'all!!! So at this point I'm bout ready to go off but I kept it classy. After the transaction, he places the receipt on the counter and says "we're only human" - duh. Don't insult my intelligence. I then had to give him a schooling about on customer service. So now I'm sitting right up front watching them prepare my food. I'm watching them like hawks. He's being super nice to everyone. I want my food and best believe I will not be back. Treat others the way you want to be treated. read more

EXTREMELY BAD AND NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE: About a month ago, I ordered a wet chicken burrito and found a piece of nasty and rusty metal in my food. I bit into the burrito and thought it was over cooked chicken I was chewing, but after a while it didn't seem right. I chewed on it a few times and then spit the food out and found a metal piece the size of a nail in my burrito. Felt absolutely disgusted and had a very nasty taste in my mouth for the next few weeks. I contacted my doctor to make sure there wasn't any health threat or anything of that sort. I emailed the owner of the restaurant and explained the entire story and sent him a picture of the metal piece I found. He said he will refund the money and file a claim with his insurance because of the issue that occurred. After not responding, I kept emailing the owner to get a response and he finally refunded my order close to a month later. And when I asked him about the claim, his excuse was he's waiting to hear back from his suppliers and will get back to him. I still haven't heard back from him and instead filed a complaint with Solano County Health Inspection. It's a shame that this occurred and Pelayo's just ignores their customers and doesn't take responsibility for their actions. Take your business elsewhere, where the handling of food is safe and healthy. read more

Pelayo's Mexican Food - The metal and rusty piece found in my burrito - Mexican Near Me - Fairfield, California

I was hesitant in co.ing here due to the average rating, and the pictures looked ok. (The food didn't look good in the picture ) I was running errands in the area and was hungry. So I gave it a chance. I ordered carnitas burrito and add sour cream. I was surprised considering the reviews. It was a really good burrito. It had lots of flavor and a good ratio of ingredients and the Pico is amazing. Today, same situation, ordered a shrimp burrito and add sour cream..........OMG! It was amazing....like really amazing. I eat a lot of burritos....this is definitely in top 5 lifetime! The shrimp was seasoned, they didn't skimp on the shrimp, an excellent amount of ingredients, OMG! And the spicy pico!!!!! And the best part, the price! $10 bucks for a really good burrito is almost unheard of in the bay. The shrimp burrito you pay like $2 more for. Definitely worth it! Will be back again in person, door dash reviews are not so great! read more

The vegetarian "super" burrito was okay. But it ain't a super burrito as advertised! Very skimpy in the ingredients needs to be more generous porfavor. The cilantro rice was a little hard. And the cashier and cook looked like they weren't enjoying there job. read more

Solid spot that deserves more than the 3 stars it currently holds on Yelp. We came in on a busy Sunday night with a line halfway to the door. Outside they have a sign posted "cashier wanted", and you could tell on the poor guys face trying to work the line AND cook the food that they were severely short staffed. All the food was great. We especially liked the queso and the chips are all made fresh in-house (not like some places that just opt for a Costco-sized bag of tortilla chips to dole out to their customers). The biggest call out is that we had a small miscommunication on our order where we thought we ordered the quesadilla "plate" for the kiddos but when the order came out it was for an appetizer. They happily corrected it and were so friendly and nice about the whole thing. Good stopover spot. Give them a shot! read more

Order a carne asada burrito that I had to pay $.95 more than any other meat and for what reason I don't know. It was awful. The meat was under cooked and under seasoned. I took it out, but even the cilantro rice was bland. I asked for spicy salsa, but was given a mild watered down salsa. They gave me chips, which was great, but they were thin and kept breaking. Only the side of guacamole was decent. But never again. I ended up throwing it away because I didn't want to get sick. read more

Food is great WHEN THEY FOLLOW THE ORDER. No pico doesn't mean pico everywhere. No sour cream means sour cream. A wet burrito with enchilada sauce shouldn't be covered in GREEN SAUCE. My fault for not checking it before I drove away with it. The counter service is sub par and employees should use a big boy voice so customers can understand them. Like I said, when it's done right the food can't be beat. read more

I ordered a very simple bean and cheese burrito with green sauce. The staff didn't know I understand spanish. They thought my order was stupid and ridiculed me for if it.

Yes we went at 7:30 pm when they close at 8pm but we said we understood and would eat fast and we did. The cashier gave me my husband's burrito and him mine without saying what was what then as he was still finishing his last quarter burrito she takes the plate mid bite as the fork is still in his hand I kid you not as she says "we are closed" it was 8pm. So rude we will never be back!! Food is decent dining room was trashed food and trash all over the floor tables dirty never wiped down. There was a chile stem in my chile verde burrito just all around bad experience. First and last time here. Never again. read more

Came by for a quick work-break around dinner time. This establishment is a cute fast food restaurant - not a fancy spot. However kept very nice and clean. Has a family owned vibe to it. My burrito was done extremely fast. If you get asked about wanting your burrito wet or not, it means if you want the salsa, guac, and sour cream inside or outside on top of the burrito. Like the spicy? Try the jalapeñio (green) cream sauce from the salsa bar - very hot and lasting, almost at the verge of burning your face off, but was beyond delicious with my meal. Loved it. Will come back! read more

The was just ok. The jalapeño cream was good and spicy. I had a steak taco and flauta. The rice and beans were the best part, which I think is important at a Mexican restaurant. So this place is just ok. Oh, the service was good too. They were polite. The inside was very clean and bright as well. Overall, this is a good place for a short lunch. read more

Pelayo's has always been one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Fairfield. Their super burritos are the best. You can get them either wet or dry, I always get it dry but everyone who gets it wet says it's so good too! The nachos are another one of my favorites, I always grab extra chips because there's still toppings left after all the original chips are gone. You also can never go wrong with the tacos either. They used to have a happy hour which was the best! I don't think they do that anymore sadly. Also they started giving out really small chip bags to go which can barely fit any chips in. I would ask for some extra bags if you are ordering to go, because the ones the give do not fit nearly enough! read more

This was our go to place because it's conveniently located and the food was pretty good. Unfortunately, they have a very high turn over in employees and since the pandemic they have cut way back on portion sizes. The last two times i visited the portions of meat in my super burrito and beef enchilada was ridiculous. I had to tear away 50% of the tortilla to find the meat in the burrito and the meat in the enchilada was insulting. Don't waste your time or money. read more
