Chips and queso were great! Hibiscus margaritas were good. Great corn enchiladas! Most are usually made from tortillas but these were different and quite delicious! Jeffrey the server was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere inside could have been better. It was kinda hot in the restaurant and the bathroom was haunted. I’d still go back though for the food.

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.

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.

A most lovely lunch experience. The bartender made a smooth latte. The three amigos plate with carnitas was super tasty!

For anyone on the fence about trying this place because of reviews about bland food, I say go for it! We loved this place, the atmosphere was old Austin with sprawling decks under a huge beautiful oak tree and a cozy interior with tons of charm. The chips and salsa were quite tasty, hard to stop. We ordered veggie quesadilla, carnitas enchiladas and elotes. Nothing bland about any of it, all were delicious, the carnitas very flavorful and the elotes better than a lot of places I’ve been. We also had the house margarita and the Higher Shelf marg, the upgrade is worth it. Definitely plan to come back to soak in more of Pelon’s awesome vibe and try more of the menu!

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!

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.

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.
