Taqueria Don Pedro - Effingham

I?m a local menudo lover, and I want to express how great the food is prepared and served. Lilly and her team would personally call me to let me know they have fresh menudo prepared. Look no further if you looking for authentic Mexican cuisine. Thisestablishment doesn?t follow the cookie cutter typical Mexican restaurant definitely they are outside the mold. Thanks Lilly andteam.

Just meh, maybe our expectations were hyped because of all the good things my mom keeps hearing about the place and the promise of all the people grabbing to go orders here but we weren't really impressed. Mom and I both ordered chimichangas I had carneshe the ground beef. Best part of the chimi was the cheese sauce it was covered in, carne had little flavor but I can't countthe number of times I had to stop and spit out a chunk of fat or gristle that I just can't handle, it was chopped in such smallpieces many could probably handle it but anything aside from the actual meat I just can't do. Pico and lettuce in place was anice touch but lacked any overall flavor in the pico. Horchata was good in that it didn't have the grit many places do butlacked some cinnamon IMO. Table salsa had good flavor we all love it when we can actually taste cilantro and you could here.Hubby had a taco plate but he does his own reviews, what I remember is that the onions weren't fresh probably (no flavor) andthat the radish could have been pickled. Also a bit disappointed in the tortillas being all wrapped up and only having one pertaco! Would we come back when back to visit mom again?possibly but doubtful.

What a wonderful restaurant! We ate inside Village Wine and had the verde linguini and the pork with rice and beans and delicious onions after starting with chips (of course) The server was very kind and attentive and the food was amazing. I was so hungry I didn’t take pictures (oops) but we will definitely be back!

Food was excellent and tasted fresh. Open mic night was nice midweek fun. I highly recommend it.

Best Mexican food in the area. Great people work here and the food is excellent.
