Pelon's Baja Grill

In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. ​I recently found myself stepping into the Redmill outpost of Pelon's Baja Grill. To say I am intimately familiar with this establishment would be an understatement; I maintain a rather protective, almost curatorial watch over its public standing. Yet, one must separate the digital curation f

Pretty decent for fish tacos but not the best fish tacos I have ever eaten. The fish was hot and crispy, had some cabbage and a very mild salsa on top. (not spicy at all.) Also had guac, chips and Elote. Guac was nice and chunky, pretty good. Chips were the nice thin crisp kind, maybe needed a little more salt. The Elote was very good, husband loved it. They do have a weekday happy hour from 3 to 6pm and it's like 3 tacos and a hour margarita for cheap. Probably would be a a great place to drop by after work. Service was good. The staff was very polite and brought food right to he table. Atmosphere is cool, reminds me a beach restaurant back in Cali. Overall I would come back. Next time I'll try the other tacos.

Some friends were visiting and wanted fish tacos, and we heard Pelon’s had some “mean fish tacos”… so we tried it out. There were 8 of us and not a single complaint about our any of our food. The chips are a bit thin and the Queso is on the spicy side, but they were both good. I think I’m in love with the elote as it was phenomenal. The vibe is a California Coastal vibe. I didn’t realize this was not a table service location when until we got there, but it didn’t stop the staff from being attentive and checking on us during our time there. We would definitely come here again.

Great place for shrimp and fish tacos. My go to! Husband loves the burritos. They have great atmosphere, surf videos always on. Great for catching up with friends, family dinners, laid back vibe. Has a bar for mixed drinks and beers. They also have a location at the oceanfront in Virginia Beach. Tip: get the chips, salsa, cheese dip and guacamole app!!

Finally found an amazing vegan restaurant that has a huge selection of vegan items which are all fantastic! Right on general booth and fast food, with a vegan menu you can find on their website and ordering pickup. Enter vegan and you get all their selections. Keep coming here so hopefully they keep this vegan menu because Virginia Beach needs places like this!!
