It was a little chilly on this day but we had our pup with us so we had to sit outside on the patio. The sun was still out so we were able to stay warm for a bit. The server was very gracious and accommodating! We ordered House margaritas and Queso Deluxe to start. The queso was so good we decided to order Beef Fajitas. Delicious The sun was going down and the wind picking up so we packed up the rest of the fajitas to go. They were good for a snack and lunch the following day. Good food, great service!

I came to Pelons with some co-workers for lunch on a Wednesday Afternoon, around 12 PM. The restaurant wasn't very busy at that time so we got seated quickly. Our server was nice and attentive to our needs throughout our meal. The place is pretty spacious with plenty of seating options, both inside and outside. It's a good place for larger groups as well. For lunch I ordered the Carnitas Enchiladas--2 enchiladas filled with pulled pork, and topped with hatch chilis, poblano crema, cheese and salsa verde. The enchiladas come with a side of Mexican rice and refried beans. The enchiladas were delicious! Would definitely order them again--carnitas were tender and moist and the flavoring of all the enchiladas were topped with made them taste even better (not spicy or anything). Had a good experience. Would definitely continue coming back, especially for lunch. I hear good things about their Happy Hour too, so will probably check it out as well!

In town on business, walked into Pelons for an early dinner. Restaurant nearly empty (only two tables occupied) and the host seats me in the back section of the restaurant (where it felt like I was being punished because I came in by myself) at a table the if you called it wobbly would be generous. Waited over 10 minutes (again, the restaurant was empty) and was about to leave before the waitress finally came over. Wasn't given any chips or salsa and while the food came out relatively quickly, it was luke warm at best (and quite bland). This is pure opinion, but it feels like this place gets enough business (based on location) that it's never had to look in the mirror at how it treats its customers or if the food they're serving needs to be reevaluated. I come Austin quite a bit for work and I will never revisit this restaurant again and will never recommend it to people visiting Austin. To the manager/owners of Pelons: In a world where there are so many choices and where experiences in your restaurant are easily shared-do better.

Ok tex-mex. My husband got reservations for Valentines' Day because he wanted to sit outside on their cool patio. Of course it was too cold and we sat inside. It's small, dark, and cozy. After we ordered, they told us they were totally out of flour tortillas. Eventually they found some and brought them out to us. The Fajitas were good with plenty of peppers. For dessert I got the tres leches, which was just ok, but I also couldn't stop eating it.

It's Wednesday, mid-August. My friend and I stopped in here for some drinks/eats prior to the 311 show at Moody's. We posted up at the inside bar and were served immediately with a couple of beers; plenty of beer option which were cheap since it was happy hour. That made us happy. Food-wise, we went with some chips/guacamole, then some tacos; I went with the baja pescado (fish) and the verde (black beans). Food came out fairly quickly. The guacamole is alright, good consistency with the avocado but felt it needed more seasoning, maybe a bit of cayenne or garlic/onion salt. As for the tacos, the fish was my favorite, cooked nicely and good slaw with the cotija cheese. I went with flour for that which held up well. The verde taco was filling but ordering it on corn was a bad idea, it started falling apart midway through eating it. Next time I'll do flour for that or get a different taco.Food here is a bit pricy so happy hour will be your best friend here. The bartenders are nice and it's a chill area to stop in to pre-game before a show or have a quick date night. I'll probably be here again when I'm in Austin for a show/event and it's near the venue.

We came for dinner Sunday night with a couple of friends and were able to get seated quickly! The decor is very cute inside and the patio is nice as well! Service was great, our served helped our table of 9 and everything came out quickly and she was on top of it. My fiancée and I split the steak fajitas and a side of large guacamole as an appetizer and two drinks and were very full at the end! The fajitas come out sizzling and have tortillas and all the fixings on the side with rice and beans too. Great deal for around $27! I got the Paloma as well and it had a really nice flavor - around $14! Overall it surpassed my expectations since we always pass it on our way to a show and never think to stop by but it was great!

One of very few spots open for coffee on a Friday morning, we dropped into Pelons after seeing a sign advertizing hot drinks outside. The host stand sent us to the bar to order, and unfortunately we weren't particularly welcomed by the bartender, who didn't seem to want to take our order. Only after completing the transaction did we ask for milk in one coffee; this was an up charge of .50c, for which we had to run a second credit card transaction. Decent coffee but not a great experience, and definitely not a $5 + 50c coffee.

Had an incident where a server called me a racial slur and when I complained to the manager, she backed her up. Don't recommend this place, much better quality places in the area that are not owned and run by a racist owner and staff.
