Went on a Friday night fairly late, so there was no line and we were attended quickly. The free chips and salsa were incredible! I also really enjoyed the chicken enchiladas. Friendly staff as well!

Pelons Tex Mex is a reliable choice when you’re in the mood for bold, straightforward Tex-Mex flavors. The menu covers all the classics—tacos, burritos, bowls—and portions are generous enough to feel satisfying without being overdone. The food came out fresh and well-seasoned, with good balance between spice and flavor. The atmosphere is casual and upbeat, making it an easy spot for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. Service was efficient and friendly, even during a busy stretch. With its strong rating and steady crowd, it’s clearly a place many people return to for consistent Tex-Mex comfort food.

Came for dinner before an event right down the street. We got there in time for about the last 45 minutes of happy hour. We ordered the happy hour margaritas (rocks) and happy hour queso. The margaritas were not very strong and small. If/when I come back I would order 2 at a time. The HH queso however was huge and super yummy. It was a Blanco queso and really creamy. I got the fiesta dipper and my friend got the HH quesadilla. The fiesta dipper was a great size and was filling. I wish the menu had listed what kind of sauces it came with. There were two green sauces, the spicier one was the best and a white sauce (possibly sour cream based?) that was just ok. The flautas were killer, by far best thing on the plate. The nachos had plenty of melted cheese and were a good size. The quesadilla tasted good but it was sooo soggy and hard to enjoy. My friends HH quesadilla was the same. Our server was nice and attentive, he did forget one of the rounds of margaritas and we had to remind him about 30 minutes later. We ended with the churros which were so good.

Went during the day, didn't realize you order at the counter so when we sat down a staff member came and took our order! Awesome service and good prices. The chips and house made salsa are a must!

Dinner here was good. My daughter had the fajitas and said it was the best meal she had eaten in Austin. The cheese dip was excellent. My husband had the enchiladas and he wasn’t a fan of the sauce. I had the trio and it was tasty. Our server was very attentive. We would eat here again.

Great place for lunch. Ate outside on the deck and we all enjoyed are food. Free chips and salsa. My son thought it was the best ground beef quesadillas he has had at a restaurant.

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!

During our recent visit to Pelons Tex Mex in Austin, we enjoyed the enchiladas and fajitas, both of which were flavorful and well-prepared. The outdoor seating under the expansive live oaks provided a pleasant dining atmosphere. The service was attentive and efficient, enhancing our overall experience. While the margaritas did not meet our expectations, we would consider returning for the quality of the food and the inviting ambiance.

Great outdoor area during the warmer months. Good selection of Mexican offerings. If you love Mexican food you should visit. Service from Esa was also very good. First place to eat in Austin and no regrets. I had starters, a large drink and a main dish.

I visited with a friend who was in town, and it became clear right away that this place is designed for tourists or people just passing through. The style leans heavily toward the “Tex” side of Tex Mex which inherently isn't a bad thing. However, the food felt tailored to visitors looking for a particular version of Austin rather than something more local or balanced. There is a slight note about the establishment warranting better cleanliness. My friend enjoyed himself, but the menu overall seemed like for people who aren’t local to Texas. The flavors a seemed geared toward an out-of-town crowd, and the flavors leaned predictable. If you're hosting someone visiting Austin, it works. It maybe better to bring them here instead of somewhere else if they are looking for a specific vibe/food. If you're looking for something more authentic or nuanced, there are better options.

I went alone to eat and was seated quickly. I ordered and after that a couple was seated next to me. About 20 mins later a group of about 3-4 guys were seated. Somehow all those who were seated and ordered after me got their food before me and my meal wasn't complicated. The margarita had a weird taste and was not strong. The food had a pretty presentation but was bland and dry. The best thing was the taco meat that had good flavor. Too expensive and not worth it.

Not a good experience. Reserved at 6:30 p.m. but they did allow me to come in earlier for one table. I waited for 30 minutes though this was on Valentine's Day wasn't crazy busy. I ordered the fajita steak. The chips were cold and salsa was bland. When the food finally did come it's like they didn't use any seasoning or salt and the sides I ordered were wrong but they fixed it before I received the wrong side bc I told them. And steak in the fajitas was very soft like soy meat and again there was no flavor to any thing I ate, and my stomach kinda hurts
