First time visiting. Went on a Sunday. We had to wait about 5 mins. We didn't mind even though the hostess missed us. Chips n salsa are good. Only thing I thought was weird is that they don't put cheese on top of the enchiladas. Some of the plates don't come with rice and beans they charge extra. Overall the food was really good. Service was awesome. Will be going back. Thanks

Y’all…get off the river and come eat at this authentic family style restaurant. So fast, very reasonable, way clean…and yummy! Best restaurant chips; we took some with us. You will not be disappointed. Shout out to Leslie B for making great recommendations and taking care of us! 🌮 😁👏🏼

I’ve been dining here since high school so like 20 plus years absolutely love their customer service and authentic mexican food. This has been my go to curbside place for the last few weeks. From cal do’s, tacos, menudo and chips salsa all taste great. Call in my order and ready in 10min and bring it out to your vehicle. All at an affordable price and made to order with a smile thank you.

Used to come here when I was a kid, first time back in over 30yrs. The building is bigger than I remember and incredibly clean, which is remarkable for it's age. The food is excellent and the service is even better. My waitress was Susanna and she did an amazing job but what was more impressive was how well the staff communicated and worked together to take care of their guests. This is a lost art in today's service industry and I highly recommend stopping by for lunch to see them in action and experience what has kept this place thriving for so many decades. Plus, the chips are incredible, I think they sprinkle them with fairy dust or something 🤣can't stop eating them even though I'm so full I could pop!!

We've been going to Don Pedro's for years. It's been pretty consistent throughout. The food is really good as well as the portions vs the price. It is a popular place so be prepared to wait during peak times. The service and staff are excellent. Usually parking isn't an issue either. The only downsides are it can get abnormally loud inside - so much that you can strain to have a normal conversation. Also, for whatever reason you will leave with your clothes smelling like food. Every time.

Great food and drinks. Everything we had was worth the wait... fresh chips and spicy red salsa was delicious. Large group of 15, seated fast with no issues.
Letty Garcia
Great place, as you enter you feel welcomed. Saturday they had breakfast buffet and music. Coffee was hot and not watered down. The food was delicious and fresh. Service was great and fast. Definitely will be returning.

I enjoyed the food, hot, fresh and full of flavor. I used to come here with my parents when I was young. It was good to come back after so many years. The chips seem to never change.

First time here for a client lunch. Clean. Good service. The mango margarite was tasty and not too sweet or sour. The shrimp cocktail was large and full of shrimp, on the spicy side. The queso flameado was quiet greasy but very delicious. Tortillas were very good. My colleagues enjoyed both of their steak plates very much. Not a si gle complaint. The chips are also a favorite!

I had the lunch carne guisada plate. For $10.89 the price is great. Lots of carne and rice. I paid .59 cents more to substitute borracho beans. This place is still a stapel of the Southside. ❤️
Michael Hickman
The chips n hot sauce are a staple of the place. The old style chips need to be returned. Been going to this place 45 years. I've never not taken home or order a second bowl of chips.
Times are changing however the chips your mom n dad had were fresh n hot best in San Antonio. Not anymore though,

Who hasn't been to don Pedro's at least once. It's a south San Antonio landmark up there with bud Jones. Me personally I am not the biggest fan but I go because my wife is a fan. The prices are a little high but the food is good. The place gets packed sometimes . The restaurant is huge with a lot of seats . A big bar and a lot of wait staff. There is a good chance if you go on a weekend there will be a big party going on, or maybe a couple.

We went in at 8:30 (party of two) and got seated right away. We ordered beer, iced tea and water. Waitress brought the drinks right away. We ordered a full order of nachos with avocado, plus added beef fajitas. Delicious! The waitress was wonderful. We even got to listen to some mariachis.

Let me start by saying the food was very good, and would have been even better if it was brought out before it got cold.
My wife and I attended a baptismal dinner there this evening and were very unsatisfied with the service, especially management for the evening, Angie.
It was a party of 40, but management decided to put, what seemed to be, a new waiter in charge of service for our half of the party. Our waiter was very friendly and respectful, but unfortunately was not well trained and could not answer any questions regarding pricing for drinks, or food details. My wife was given the wrong drink order and another waiter, not part of our party’s wait staff, corrected the problem. We were never brought out any further servings of chips and salsa until that same waiter, whom corrected the drink, offered his assistance.
We were at this establishment for just over 2 hours and did not receive our food until 1 hour and 30 mins there.
All of these things could be over looked and chalked up new waiter on a busy night, until manager, Angie, got involved.
My wife and I did not feel it was appropriate for this establishment to be automatically charging 20% gratuity to our check. I am normally a very good tipper and it takes many, many wrongs for me to not want to leave a tip, but I felt strongly on this occasion we would be giving away money for something not earned.
When our waiter found out we did not want to tip him, he consulted his manger, Angie, and came back to tell us it was mandatory. My wife and I asked to speak to Angie and our waiter called her over. Angie never introduced herself and had zero tact when operating in her position.
She just stared at my wife and said the tip was mandatory. My wife stated we would pay it, but we would like to express our concerns to higher manager and she literally walked away while my wife was still speaking to her.
I voiced my opinion to Angie, as she was walking away, that we would never return to Don Pedro’s and she never apologized for her rudeness or lack of empathy.
I will be sure to share this experience beyond the confines of social media.

We love going there because the food is excellent and your drinks are the best,and we’ve gone to other places but Don Pedro’s is the best on the south side of town. And let me also say that your staff are the best always with a smile. Your place makes us fell like home thank and see you again next week.
Dawn Wallace-Balkman
Was here from out of town for my daughter's graduation. Family went to Don Pedro Mexican restaurant for some good Mexican food. OMG I must say that it was the best Mexican food that I have ever had. The staff was a little unorganized but everyone was courtesy and the waitress was always asking if there was anything else we needed. All in all I was very impressed and if I am ever in Texas again I will definitely go there to eat again.
Joanna Reyna
Went to San Antonio to visit family and asked to go to a place with good margaritas. We were disappointed from the start. After a while of being seated, We had to ask for a menu, eating utensils...food was okay. Tried the margaritas and not good. Plus there was a roach on the wall right next to where we were seated. Not planning on visiting this establishment in the future.
Dean Sueltenfuss
In my opinion, it is one of the best, if not the best Mexican restaurant in San Antonio. Been eating there for 30 years!
Sylvia Tobias
Margies are good , however siiting at the bar, the music is obnoxious, after complaining to manager, still chubby bar tender with glasses kept turning it back up, you go to rellax n have drinks come out with a headache, no good , if music is in order, then a jukebox for variety of music is in order!!!
Mary Landez
Was disappointed in the chicken tortilla soup. It was all water with a few pieces of celery and chicken.
Should’ve ordered the Quickie plate for more substance.
Frank Guzman

Haven’t been there in years but stop by and I got the number five, One enchilada and one puffy taco. Oh Em Gee it was perfect. Puffy taco stayed intact and service was great. Can’t wait to go back again and again.

Since I was a child and this place was originally half the size it now is it has always been home. Food is great and service sharp. Living in Austin area now but I still come down just to eat here. Nowhere else like it! Never change Don Pedro...
