    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.

    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.

    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.

    Tortilla crumbs, also known as chips.

    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

    Disgusting!! My husband found two hair in his burrito!!! Never going to order from here again!

    A shredded beef super burrito with black beans served "wet" aka, sauce on top. Very filling and good!

    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.

    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.

    Stopped into Casa Agave during the Fairfield Tomato and Vine Festival. Looked on Yelp for best…read moreseafood and this was the spot. Nice bar, plenty of tables. The servers were nice and personable. Husband noticed they had ceviche on the menu, either camaron (shrimp) or pescado (fish) "made at time of order". When the ceviche came out, we were both blown away. Plenty of fresh fish pieces served with a darker sauce, not the usual clear lime juices. The flavors were so fresh and full of umami, it was a burst of goodness that you must try! I asked someone about this - turns out he was the chef! I forget his name but he was so gracious in explaining the salsas he creates and adds to the juice for that delicious burst of flavors! I had never seen this before. It elevated that dish so much. He spoke about how this is actually traditional in his hometown in MX. He then surprised us when he came out with 2 small bowls of the salsas, one brown and one deeper red. So delicious and fun to taste on their own and with chips too! I had a combo plate with the chili verde enchilada and chili relleno. The pork in the enchilada was super fresh, soft, flaky, incredibly yummy! We'll be going back for sure.

The octopus was over cooked burnt and dry. Hector the manager refused to replace or discount the meal. The discount would not be significant. Its the principle. Never order the seafood tacos. Especially the octopus. Im guessing the the seafood was prepared hours ago. It was not fresh and.hot. Just for customer service sake that you over cooked the seafood

My husband reminded him that he asked when ordering and I again referenced the menu saying 1 basket is included,he said the policy changed and there was a sign on the wall somewhere. My husband had asked for his chimi to have red sauce and I had asked for mine with green, they both came mixed with both sauces on them. The red sauce wasn't very good and it was weird being mixed. My chimi wasn't very well cooked,kinda doughy in the middle. We didn't get a receipt so we couldn't reference the amount we were charged for each thing,but by menu prices it should have come out to about $55. The amount they charge was $80. $80 for 2 chimichangas,a beer and a ranch water and No chips??

Walking in, I was immediately greeted with smiling and welcoming vibes from the ladies at the front and told to take a seat wherever I'd like to sit. The hit for me is that MENUDO is available on a non-weekend! I've been craving it and when I ordered it (on a Tuesday), I hoped it would be fresh and it was! The broth was savory and flavorful as is but with the added oregano, dried peppers, onions, and cilantro to my liking- it just made it even better! The best part was that you can either order it with pata or no pata. Shoooot, you don't have to ask me twice! I said I want the pata hahahaha that with tender and not overcooked tripe was just what I was wanting! If you love menudo, this is a place I'd recommend and go to get it regularly. The MICHELADA MARISCADA is tasty! It's a mixture of seafood in a sweet and tangy sauce. For those who do not like spice, this is a great option. I was with someone who doesn't like spicy food and isn't a big fan of Mexican food but MAN! she killed the entire plate! So now we have a place that we both can really enjoy together. Will be back!!

No biggie though because it was fresh and crunchy. The meat was well seasoned and juicy, and loved that the tortilla is homemade. The kids meal was a perfect portion for small ones. The complimentary chips and salsas were nice and the green salsa was definitely my favorite. I took away 1 star because the horchata just wasnt it. It was very watered down and barely had any cinnamon taste to it. I'm not sure if they use powdered horchata or if its made there and just got unlucky but I was not impressed. Other than that everything else was delicious and I'll be coming back.

I asked to add jalapeños- they said that would cost an extra $2. That is crazy. I know food prices are rising but jalapeños are still inexpensive - I've eaten at hundreds of Mexican places - not one ( except Taco Hell - Bell- ) has charged me for jalapeños. So after taking my order he told me to come back in 15 minutes - like standing there and waiting was going to cost them money - how rude. Another bad 1st - being told I can't stay and wait for my order at a place I ordered from - WTF? Also the prices are too high - I can get burritos in San Francisco for $12 and they're great - as I did yesterday at a street fare - I thought $7.95 was too cheep for a burrito - but $18 in a small town? The burrito better be best tasting ever - writing this while I sit in my car. When I walked in the restaurant it was quiet - Saturday at 8:20 pm in the summer - was dead and it still takes them 15 to twenty minutes to make a burrito? That is crazy. So the ambience did not impress me that's for sure. What could improve? How about treating your customers who come into a place for the first time nice and not ask them to come back? How about not charging for jalapeños when every. other Real ( Taco Bell in NOT Mexican food) Mexican restaurant does not charge for them??? Update - the young man who took my order seemed like he did NOT want to be there - and was not attentive. When I picked up my order there were two women who were friendly and nice to me - so I added a star. The burrito itself - the beef had a excellent taste and the refried beans were good ( yes - I have had bad refried beans before ) so the burrito tasted good but on the bland side as no salsa was inside the burrito. Etc when the first guy took my order and told me jalapeños were an extra $2 I said no to the extra but did request extra salsa - all I got was a small - very small container - I like my Mexican food spicy - and this was not - tho had the potential to be great with some heat - spice - the salsa/ more of a sauce than salsa - had an excellent flavor but no the mild side for me but if had a lot of it - it would have worked as it did have a good to excellent flavor - so it gets only two stars - had excellent potential to be great - but initial bad service from the male staff and charging for jalapeños and very little salsa killed it - can not recommend
