Pedro’s started out on a shoestring budget in the town of Los Gatos on November 29, 1972. A twelve-table restaurant which developed an immediate following, allowing two full expansions. Two years of planning were devoted to the second unit Santa Clara, which opened its doors on May 13, 1980.

Pedro’s Restaurant has been the result of hard work and devotion. We offer a varied and unique selection of authentic Mexican creations. Santa Clara Pedro’s seats 325 people on the main floor.

    Went for my dad’s birthday. Our server was exceptional- drinks were always topped off, plates removed promptly (buffet), and he was very personable. Hate that I cannot remember his name- but he was wonderful. Food was very good! Our table really enjoyed the Chile Colorado (so tender) and the chilequilles station- made to order. As well as the waffle station. T he mariachi band was great! Trumpet is hard to have indoors- but they used it sparingly and their voices were top notch. Wonderful spot for Sunday brunch buffet and the ambience of the restaurant is beautiful.

    Phenomenal service at the Bar. I had the Tacos, fish, shrimp, and carnitas. All three were really good. The spicy margaritas were incredible. The gentleman behind the bar provided some of the best service I've ever had.

    I haven't been here in a while maybe over 10+ years and appeared the menu have changed since then. The food still good as I remember it. We had a group of 8 and we got immediately seated to our table and greeted as soon as we sat down. The server then showed up after but took a little bit of time to come back to take our order maybe at least 15-20 minutes or so....I guess you can it was a busy Friday crowd. Overall it was good.

    Food was brought out cold (especially the seafood enchiladas), cocktails had ingredients missing (grand marnier for top shelf margaritas), and the server was no where to be found when needed. Very disappointing experience, overall. My first time here was not that great either so I gave them another shot. I definitely don’t plan to return again.

    I ordered my favorite enchilada suizas which were not on the menu anymore, but the kitchen made it for me anyway. Yum.

    We had excellent service provided by the manager, seating us, our server and all of the other staff. We were the only ones in our area so it was festive and quiet and peaceful. Our food was delicious. Our server was delightful and very efficient and greatly enjoyed our dinner.

    Service was ok, upcharging for things like chips and tortillas was ridiculous. Server was lacking. I would never go back to this place.
