Peso's Kitchen & Lounge

07/12/2008 Posted by timnnynowqa11

You have got to be kidding me! I use to be a long standing Pesos customer, I put up with a lot of bad service, mediocre food and loud music. But now it has gotten to the point where it’s not worth my life to eat there. When they learn how to control the bloody fights, and drunk customers I may go back….If I want Mexican food I’ll go to Jaliscos or get great food in my neighborhood at Ascada Bistro, 10 Mercer, Chopsticks or Kid Valley.

Pros: Other Restaurant near by

Cons: Fights, boarderline food

I've only eaten here 2 times, and while the service was a little slow, it was around lunchtime both times and they were crowded. Didn't have a problem with the service or the staff, that I can recall. If you're in a hurry, probably not the best place to go at lunch, but it does have good music and good atmosphere. Food is good, and not expensive. I'd say defintiely give it a shot at least once.

Pros: Good food, good amibiance

Cons: No parking, but this is common for this area with most parking being street parking.

We showed up on a slow weekday morning to check out the Breakfast Happy Hour. It was anything BUT happy. Some guy from back by the kitchen door and the bar area came striding up and told us in a really condescending way that dogs are not allowed and we could not bring a dog into the restaurant - while our SERVICE ANIMAL is sitting there calmly sporting an official red vest with the very words written on it. I tried to explain that he's a service animal, and the guy LAUGHS a little, moves toward me a little menacingly, and says, 'yeah, well you're going to have to leave." I tell him it's discriminatory to disallow access, etc. and ask may I speak to the manager. Some OTHER guy back by the bar/ kitchen door area calls him back there and they begin a discussion. Then, while a woman steps up and vaguely appears to be trying to figure out where to seat us (while the rude guy is back there), a manager-type guy emerges and escorts us to a table. We are assigned to yet another guy who waits on us with the most detached manner ever. Although the place wasn't busy at all, the service was slow - but it felt like it maybe was the kitchen and not the waiter who was slow, but who knows? We had a lot of time to think about what the rude guy might have been doing to our food in the back. We were there as part of a day-long birthday celebration, and our experience at Peso's really put a big damper on the start of our day. P.S. We hadn't even thought to check and see if an 'extra' tip had been added onto our receipt by a Peso's employee after we left, but after reading these other reviews, we'll be sure to look now... and not go back.

Pros: Colorful, interesting

Cons: Dark, especially for breakfast

I love the atmosphere, great location in Queen Anne, and awesome Happy Hour specials. But please do something about the service...new waitresses, new host - new staff!!! I recommend this place only if you can handle rude service :)

Terrible service - Waitress's are very rude! I will never return to this local establishment again! Food is fair but over priced and crowd is great! The staff makes this place fail!!!

yummy food, but way too loud.. It was like a strung out night club at high noon. Maybe I will get it to-go next time..

Pros: food

Cons: more of a bar than a restaurant, loud music, no parking

Had the seafood enchiladas. . . tasted great. If you're young and beautiful, this is the place for you because it's more like a dance club that serves good food. The service is slow, but that's because it's so full. Sit in the dining room and get there early if you want to hear the person next to you because by 9pm, the music is turned up to illegal decibels and the place is unofficially a dance club by 11pm. Had fun because I was in a party mood. Not for older crowds in the evenings. The carne asada is fabulous too.

Pros: Tasty eats, friendly crowd, great location, young crowdin the PM

Cons: Not family friendly, music is way too loud, service slow

Great drinks, very crowded, but only waited a few minutes for a table. The steak nachos were out of this world. I had the chicken quesadilla, very good. My friend had the fajitas and the chicken was tasty and plentiful! Great service! Our waitress was friendly and quick. Great music. Loved it!!

Pros: good food, good pours, friendly service

Cons: crowded, a little claustrophobic

So I really enjoyed the food here but not the service. Our waitress seemed very annoyed about everything. Which made me very annoyed with her. I will probobally eat here again only because it is close to my sisters house and the food is good. I just may have to start leaving a $.01 tip to get my point across.

Pros: Excellent food

Cons: Eye rolling waitresses

Good margariitas. Good appetizers. Entrees are average at best and are not cheap. Gets busy - a bit of a meat market, but good staff and good service.

Pros: Margarita, appetizers/happy hour specials

Cons: Entrees expensive and mediocre
