San Pedro has become a regular stop for us. We've dined here many times over the past couple years. Food is good and so is the service. Huge menu and reasonable prices. IMO the best 'sit down' restaurant in Charlestown! read more

Really good food and generous portions, too. The service was great and I liked the Mexican atmosphere. Very cozy, yet festive.

This is an awesome place to eat. Delicious food and great atmosphere. I'm sad I will no longer be able to eat here because of a red meat allergy. Service is good and always checking in to make sure everything is good! read more

More of a selection of menu items than I've ever seen. I want to try them all. Friendly service. Very colorful atmosphere.

Love this place! We eat here for lunch sometimes and their Pollo Fundido is to die for!

Great food! Service is kinda hit or miss and they are not the most friendly and outgoing people that I have been around. The decor is typical Mexican restaurant the food is your typical Mexican restaurant food nothing I have had has really stood out as amazing but nothing I have ever had taste bad. Usually a little crowed when I have been. Still it's a nice place to go with friends and enjoy a meal. read more

Nice clean place. The food was very Tasty. The chips and salsa were very good. I had Two hard shell tacos and a ground beef burrito with rice & beans. My fiancée had the chimichanga with rice & beans. I had water to drink and She had a Coke. The music was at a good volume unlike at some places. You could easily talk and hear each other. The service was very great. Prices were very reasonable. The bill came to $28 and some change. Great food great service and great prices. You can't beat it. I will definately be going back for more. read more

Food is good, service is fast and friendly. The restaurant is clean and the tables are really cute.

Best food I ever had in good while. Staff are very friendly and gets your food in time. The chips and salsa are delicious!

First I'd give them a 4 for the great decor and it makes me wonder who the artist is that has painted everything. And I mean everything, tabletops, chairs, endocarps, head rests, trim, benches everything is bright, fun and colorful. It's great to see new places being built in Georgetown and if you happen to be out here this would not be a bad stop for a big family or bus full of kids, or even a group of peers out for lunch. However, there are better choices in town including more authentic Mexican food closer to the highway. If you go looking for this place it is far back off the main road in an old building that reminds me of a Kmart. There is no sign yet but look for the Thrift store behind the closed bank and drive to the right end of the building. Once the sing goes up it should be easier to find. I hope to be able to return and give it a four stars but they need to get a few things together. Since they are really new and still opening I'm sure some of this will get fixed quickly. Cons. No soda available yet, machine was either not there yet or not installed. To me if you can't serve anything other than water you should not be open, even for a soft opening. Put away your construction tools. Coming in the front door there were ladders and construction supplies which would be fine if someone was working there but they were not. It was just kind of a turn off to walk in the door and see that instead of the great decor and art. Just put it away, or don't open. Refried beans were flavorless and ordinary. Or about the same as every other Mexican restaurant of this type. It does not take much to give the beans a little flavor, it will go far to do the little things to make your food special instead of ordinary. Salsa seemed to be the same generic recipe across the country of family owned longer than sensible mound Mexican restaurants. It was peppered with table paper instead of flavored well with real papers. Advice, visit your competitors down the street who serve real southwest Mexican with hand made salsa instead of this. Again it's so easy to make good salsa, and I bet your real family recipe is far better. The tomatoes in it did not taste canned and I would rate it at a barely medium heat, not mild but not hot either. Pluses Service was great! I had at least three people taking care of me and they were all great. A little struggle with english but that is a good thing and adds an air of authenticity. The food was brought out very quickly and everything was well prepared with correct temperatures. Taste, Although I don't consider this real Mexican for that I go down the street. But this is typical family style Mexican with all the stuff on the menu you'd expect from a El Napal or other lower priced but consistent Mexican chains. However with far better decorations. I ordered the seafood Chimichanga and it was prepared perfectly! Ship, scallops, and vegetables properly grilled and tender and flavorful. As about the refried beans were of the kind most people would leave on their plates. The condiments on the side were fresh and the salad portion was fresh and had good flavor, the guacamole was cool and smooth. I alos ordered a tamale which was prepared again like many chain style restaurants with port inside and seasoned ground beef and a rich dark enchilada sauce. People who have never had real Mexican food or roadside Mexican food found all over the South West will find this typical, low cost and tasty. All in all I think they will be successful. Expect to see lots of big groups, high school football teams and families having a great time with adequate food. I would say this to so many Mexican restaurants to thin out the menu, you make it harder to order when there are 5 pages of 11 point type choices. Offer more authentic choices and don't be afraid to bring out the peppers and marinaded vegetables as condiments that more authentic Mexican restaurants often have available. Parting comments, a liquor license is coming and hopefully soda machines. I look forward to coming back to give them a higher rating when they have worked out the bugs in their menu and facilities. read more

See all

My wife and daughter and I recently drove to Charlestown to see Christmas in Charlestown. When decided where to have dinner Mexican is usually the winner, so we ended up at San Pedro Authentic Mexican. This place is tucked away off the road in a nearly-abandoned strip mall and, unless you knew it was there or were headed there, you'd wouldn't just stumble on it. When you walk in the first thing you notice are the colorful tables and chairs. You see them at Mexican restaurants everywhere. (To be honest, at one point I wanted a set for a house we lived in, but they are WAY pricey). They lend themselves well to the Mexican aesthetic, and they just look cool. We were seated immediately and our server took our drink orders (it was just iced tea) and we perused the menu while she was getting those. The menu is enormous, but to a point that's not too impressive. With Mexican food it's a matter of rearranging and adding/subtracting ingredients in order to get *hey!* a new food item! When you think about it a certain way, it's not entirely unlike magic. The chips were served warm (but needed salt) and the salsa brought to the table was pretty mild. Watch the chip consumption, though. If you eat too many you'll A) spoil your dinner and 2) have to pay after the second refill. I ordered the Pork Chili Verde (my current favorite in any Mexican eater), my daughter some enchiladas, and my wife a chicken quesadilla. Our food was delivered in less than 10 minutes and we were off to the races. The food was made correctly and looked awesome. The Chile Verde was promising, but came in as "good" instead of something like "AMAZING" or "BEST EVER" or AMAZEBALLZ". Not really complaining about it, but it tasted somewhat...minimal. As if a jar of tomatillo sauce was opened and poured over pork that had been microwaved. What it DID have going for it was quantity. OMG, I got about half way through and I was done. Likewise my wife and daughter's food. In a rare occurrence, three boxes went home that night. Our server was attentive, if not ever-present. We had to wait for drink refills and for the check, but we weren't wanting for anything. The staff utilizes great teamwork by checking on other tables when walking through the dining room. What did lack was table maintenance. Several tables sat unattended after the party left for quite a while before getting cleaned. The restaurant was largely clean with the exception of these tables. In the end, we drove about 1/2 hour for the lights and had to eat. San Pedro was there to answer the call. It wasn't a bad experience at all and I have no real complaints. It could have just been....better. read more

Food and service were great! We will be going back again. It's nice that it close to the house too.

The prices were pretty great and the waitress was very nice, definitely gonna come back again.

Sooooo good! I get take out from here a couple times a month. The staff are very friendly too. Go here! You won't be sorry !

I have now gone 4 times. 1st with hubby and daughter when they 1st opened up for dinner. 2nd. with group of friends for apps and pitchers of margaritas 3rd. With oldest for lunch for his birthday & 4th with Hubby for Dinner for our Anniversary. The Decor is so beautiful reminds me many places in mexico and SOCAL. The food is so delicious and very good prices on menu and specials. You get a lot of food for the money you pay. read more

We have been going to this restaurant for a few years and it has gone downhill since they first opened. We went in recently and they had very little waitresses working. It took a while to get chips and when asked for queso, it took forever to get and had to ask multiple times. The queso was not fresh either. After finishing the chips we got, we asked for some more and the waiter barely acknowledged us. The food came out fairly fast. But on one of the meals, there was a hair about 3 inches long. When the waiter dropped off our meals, they seemed very disinterested and just left quickly. They also didn't come back a lot and check if we need refills, etc. We had to wait forever to pay the bill and again, the waiter just dropped it off without a word and left. If you want to eat some good mexican food, I recommend taking the extra 10-15 minutes to El Nopal! read more

Pretty great service and food. Waitress was good when asking for refills or more chips. Food had good taste

So close to home and excellent food and beer selection. Easy to order carry out as well.

Very tasty. Large portions. Friendly service. Clean. What more could you want? Oh and the artwork is cool.

We went to order take out and they said we could order after we walked in and didn't realize they started closing 30 minutes early, and were closed. We always get the chicken chimichanga and it never disappoints. read more

Great authentic mexican restaurant with reasonable prices. Next pollo con arroz I've had.

food was awesome portions were awesome had went in some time ago. I had some surgery that has left me unable to walk the waitress was very good about my rolater in a small space.I appreciate you being kind whoever you are. Thanks for your clean hospitable friendly service. It was YUMMY. read more

Average. No specials available. Salsa was tasteless. Needed seasoning big time. Food was good but not fabulous. Menu smelled of bleach, so at least you know they clean them. Even after we ordered and the menu was taken off the table we still smelled bleach. Food came out fast. Our table of four was one of 5 tables filled in the whole place. Waitress was friendly. Strawberry margarita was delicious, but the lime margarita was weak. Nothing to write home to Mom about for sure. read more

San Pedro has consistently provided me a very pleasant dining experience the five or six times I have eaten there. The food has been exactly what I wanted and expected. The Nachos Fajita are superb and the sampler platter I got last visit (I forget the name) was a huge quantity of food and every piece was delicious. It ended up making three meals for me. The chairs and booth benches seem to be an unusual height, but that seems minor for me. My wife, about 5'2" is a little more uncomfortable. read more

Fresh chips, good flavor to the salsa. The portions are generous. Pork is seasoned nicely. Delicious refried beans. It's worth a visit. Service was prompt and generous on refills to drinks & chips. read more

Me and the best friend always come here on the weekend and share a pitcher of Margaritas! Their salsa has gotten better since they first opened. They need to put some cilantro in it. read more

We stopped in at 8:15 on Sunday evening of a holiday weekend. We had to leave shortly after ordering because the staff insisted on cleaning the restaurant floors and tables with bleach water. While we appreciate a clean restaurant, it is not pleasant to inhale bleach while trying to eat. My husband fanned the door and we both walked outside for fresh air, and although we were observed and approached by the staff inquiring if everything was okay, they did nothing when we expressed our concerns about the strong odor. We like the food, but won't be back if they insist on performing closing duties long before closing time while customers are still present. read more

Wide selection and excellent food. I'm never disappointed. The staff are very friendly and service is amazingly fast. It's always very clean and the decor is colorful and cheerful. It's an uplifting place to go after a rough day at work. Prices are similar to other local Mexican restaurants but I believe the service and quality are higher. I'm a confirmed regular. read more

Worst customer service I've ever had. Waiter argued with us after messing up the order. Waiter was extremely rude. At checkout we asked for the owner and turns out it was our rude waiter. read more

The service was good, nice clean dining area, well decorated. Cold drinks, hot food and an overall fine dining experience .
