Pedro's Kitchen

Bless Pedro! This place is a nostalgic throwback to the old Casa de Pedro in Watertown — with Pedro himself back where he belongs. He’s opened a charming neighborhood spot, and don’t let the cozy exterior fool you: it’s surprisingly spacious, with a separate room for events and parties, and soon-to-come music and dancing nights! We discovered it at the perfect time while celebrating my father’s 70th birthday. They graciously accommodated our group of 15 with family-style options, and everything was absolutely delicious. We even asked Pedro to bring back an old Casa de Pedro favorite — the trout dish — and it did not disappoint. The meats, rice and beans, arepas, and more were all outstanding. Every dish was full of flavor and clearly made with care. On top of the amazing food, the staff

Great food, great service. We got the Cuban sandwich and the Pernil Cubano, they were both fantastic. Also recommend the tequeños and churros for dessert. Looking forward to going again

My family and I have been big fans of Chef Pedro ever since we discovered his restaurants with the our first experience in Billerica back in 2012. In 2018, the first restaurant my daughter went to as a baby was Chef Pedro's restaurant in Watertown's Arsenal Yards.

The BEST Latin American food I’ve found in Boston to date. The empanadas are crispy and flavorful, the tequeños are perfectly paired with guava sauce, the arepas are so well done with delicious fillings, the ceviche was fresh and balanced. Pedro and his team were friendly and attentive, offering recommendations and making our dining experience special. Yes, I’m raving, but Pedro’s Kitchen is worth it.

Pedro was so welcoming - my husband and I just stopped in for some empanadas to go and he was so nice and the food was amazing, we will definitely be coming back again!
