We attended a party here last night for a friend's 30th. We reserved the back patio which holds 20-30 people adequately. At the same time, they had another party inside with just as many people watching the game on the big screen. I never really thought about it before, but this is a great place to host a big party. less

Restaurant: Pelancho’s Mexican Restaurant Date of Visit: 09/30/2006 Food: * * * * *(of five) Service: * * * * * (of five) Value: * * * * * (of five) Overall: * * * * * (out of five) Pelancho’s is a fun somewhat Americanized Mexican restaurant. The atmosphere is nicely done in a festive Cozumel type décor with bright colors, tile floors, and plaster covered or exposed brick walls. The wait staff is mostly authentic American-Mexicans and are always very polite, humorous, and cater to your needs. The premium margarita is worth every cent. Alexis has had one on two occasions and each time, it has left her smiling and happy. You can’t beat their lunch specials (Rapidito plates) for price, speed, and taste. You get a batch of hot chips and fresh made salsa before your drinks usually get there, but don’t eat too much or you won’t finish your meal. The menu is standard Mexican fare. My favorites are the chimichanga or Pelancho burrito. On this particular trip, I had the arroz con pollo. It’s rich flavors made my mouth very happy and the generous portions made my stomach full. Alexis had a cheese enchilada with queso sauce instead of the red enchilada sauce, which just shows the wait staff and kitchen staff will accommodate your requests. Great flavor and top value. less
