Pedro’s Restaurants started on a shoestring budget in 1972 and has stood the test of time. We are proud to be a generational community staple and a leader in the South Bay’s dining scene for over 50 years. Pedro’s offers legendary Mexican food that warms the heart. Our newly reopened Los Gatos location offers a completely reimagined and redesigned space by John Sofio (Delilah, Poppy) and a menu that celebrates today while paying homage to yesterday by Chef Julio Aguilera (Saison, Copas, La Urbana). Our beautiful hacienda in Santa Clara in a historical building at the heart of Silicon Valley embraces the rich history that put us on the map. Experience a legacy.

The service was lacking. Seemed like the servers were disorganized and lacked communication. Food was good once we received the correct orders. We were disappointed you had to order and pay extra for chips and salsa and 1 order of chips and salsa was not enough for 6 and since the tables are so wide not everyone could reach the chips an salsa. Had to flag down someone to refil our (unfortunatly warm) water glasses. The remodel looks goodand the food was fine, just need to train and organize the service dept.

I Grew up in Los Gatos and used to go here a lot. I hadn’t been in a while and decide to try it again after the remodel but was sadly disappointed. The food was mediocre and over priced. Feels with the remodel the prices went up and the quality went down. Service was ok, but took a while to get our drinks and food. Aside from the person who seated us, none of them seemed happy to be there.

The restaurant is going through some growing pains, seems as if they were missing staff the night we stop by for dinner. Our waiter did his best to help us, but it was to much for 1 person to handle. The food was OK, I expected a different quality from reading the reviews since it re-opened just a few days ago. Flavors were bland and most didn’t work well together. The worst part of the experience was the Manager who is of Indian decent, scolded us for being 10 minutes early. Made us wait 15 to be seated m, even after he sat other parties ahead of us. As I was leaving I could see the ship was sinking, it was utter chaos in the restaurant and everyone was trying, everyone but this same manager that was folding napkins instead of helping the wait staff. With him in charge the restaurant is headed in wrong direction. Best wishes

The rice was cold, the main dish was very disappointing. The Chili had no sauce and tasted like it had burned. The extra charge for whole beans rather than refried has never happened in any Mexican restaurant where we have dined.. They really need to get their act together and get the quality of their food in line with their nicely redone interior!!

The renovated restaurant is absolutely beautiful! It looks nothing like the old one. Both my husband and I had the guacamole with pistachios. It was very good. My husband and I both had almost the same entree. It had a chicken enchilada, beef taco, rice and refried beans. I think they should have had a bit more rice. I had ordered pinto beans not refried beans and told the waiter. They quickly gave me the pinto beans. I feel that the meal was nothing extraordinary. It was the same as some other Mexican restaurants. We'll be back, however I will be ordering something else. I hope it will be good.

The restaurant was very nice and decor was great! Service was lacking. Extremely noisy and tables were very close. Large parties. Food was okay but nothing special. Very expensive and everything was extra. Chips and guacamole were priced individually. Salsa was not included. I don’t think I will be back anytime soon. ☹️

I was very happy that they still have their famous nachos on the menu. I always ordered simple things there. Nachos or beef enchilada with rice and refried beans. I sampled both and they are similar to Pedro's of old.

We loved this location. Would take my kids every Halloween, but I don't see taking them anymore. It's way too expensive for Mexican food. This time, I went with a friend, and we enjoyed guacamole and chips, non alcoholic drinks (coffee and Arnold Palmer), a SHARED $30 FAJITA PLATE that came with 3 tortillas, we ordered more tortillas (at a cost). Once I paid , I was taken aback by the amount. It was $92.50 (this was after the tip) for the two of us, and that's considering we shared a meal and didn't enjoy any fancy drinks. For that amount, we should have gone down the street to Forbes. The waiter (Hector) was fantastic. The atmosphere was calm and inviting. We loved the new booths and seating. I just feel they missed the mark on the pricing. I would love to bring my family but can't justify paying over $200 for 4 people... even with the remodel, it just doesn't sit well. That's assuming we all get our own plate and simple drinks. I wish them well but can't see coming back.
