Pelon's Baja Grill

The fish tacos made me sit up and take notice. The sauce had a little heat in it but not overpowering. The place had a surfer in California vibe. The wait staff was excellent.

Great food, excellent service, a little chilly in the restaurant but the place was spotless and the restrooms were super clean. Don't forget to check the special on Tuesday FREE BROWNIE!!!

This is still my favorite place to eat in VA Beach. We come to the beach every summer and every summer we eat at Pelon's. They have the best fish and shrimp tacos and the carne asada fries are KILLER!We mainly come during the happy hour time to try to beat the dinner rush, and enjoy the good deals on the tacos. Their burritos are huge and the vibe is great and what you're looking for when you come to the beach.

This place is great. Not too far from the beach in a small shopping center. The place is large with a surfer vibe. I ordered shrimp and carne asada tacos and a side of rice and beans. Out of the two the shrimp was the best . The shrimp came fried and not over done. With cabbage slaw on-top with a little heat. I think that was a nice touch. I should have ordered a lime to squeeze on top but still very good. The carne asada was good the meat was tender and well seasoned with onions cilantro and avocado. Very tasty. The rice and beans were solid nothing fancy. The service was good nothing over the top. I would absolutely come back again and get more shrimp tacos. I think a solid 5 stars I have zero complaints.

It was a beautiful Saturday in October and the day was screaming Fish Tacos. So I went. Just me.....super quick visit for just fish tacos. It was busy inside but I decided to sit outside. I knew what I wanted so it all was quick. Stood in line, ordered, paid and got my number. I sat outside and enjoyed the weather. My 2 fish tacos were delivered and I enjoyed every bite. Sooo good. The sauce, the corn tortillas....I even like the finely sliced lettuce. Exactly what I wanted. Also....water is self serve. Like everything today it is more expensive but if you can hit up happy hour or their daily specials....definitely less expensive

VIRGINIA BEACH | Pelon's Oceanfront is hugely popular. You stand to order and most everything has a vegan option including fish tacos. Pick a seat and wait for your order. We started with chips and salsa because we had a long drive and if the kids didn't have something we would have lost it and had a moment. I had the vegan carne asada tacos with the red sauce, S had the Unemployed Surfer which is a bean and cheese burrito with red sauce. The kids had a vegan quesadilla. All was decent. I would probably opt for the burrito next time as the tacos were a little dry. The quesadilla was very cheesy! It lost points for me because it was very hot, not good ventilation, and our table wasn't cleaned before we sat down.

Sadly this place bas gone downhill since our last visit 4 years ago! Was looking forward to some awesome fish tacos after a day at the beach and was very disappointed. Fish did not taste fresh or was nice and crunchy. No flavor either with the salsa or Baja sauce. The dip trio was good beside the salsa! Seriously the salsa was the worst I have ever had. It tasted like pickles and was watery. Guacamole and cheese dip as well as the chips were tasty. Margarita also tasted watered down. Very disappointing dining experience.

Three tacos for $8?! That's what you can get on Happy Hour (I think 3-6). They all have to be the same taco is the only downfall.I chose carnitas, and they were so good. I also got a small chips & salsa, and it was definitely enough to go around between the three of us.

Amazing casual vibe. Place has awesome surf videos in the background throughout. Cool atmosphere with friendly service. It's walk up order style. Meals prepared quickly. Check out the bar while you wait. Busy w take out for locals and dine in is a nice mix of tourists and locals in season. Prices are good. You've gotta try the fish tacos. Fresh chips and the trio of dips/salsa is a great pick as well.

The food is delicious and I highly recommend it. One disappointment is that they don't have any spicy salsa.
