4.6 / 5.0(1,093 reviews)

I highly recommend this resto breakfast all day. Food is oooh so good we loved it! The ambiance here is always inviting, so comfy and all staff are friendly. Our first time and definitely this is our go-to place the best in town. Pricing is fair and transparent & definitely value for money. Must be here! This little diner was the right fit for our family this morning. We had just come from an event where one of our party participated in an ocean swim and it was only 3 minutes away by car. We checked and Google suggested it would have been an 11-minute walk if we had decided to walk from the beach parking. We did find a parking space in their lot just as someone was leaving. The two other vehicles in our party parked on nearby streets. This building has been added on to over the years I think and most of the seating area is in a modified patio so it was a bit toasty but the toast was good 😉. I feel like the meal was a pretty good value for today's dollar. They have an extensive list of omlets and the vegetarian omelette that I ordered was $17 and includes two sides. I chose white bread, toast and potatoes. One of the options as sides was biscuits and gravy or you can just order biscuits with butter and jam and I feel like biscuits and gravy is sort of a substantial item for a side, so that's a pretty good value. They do not have a children's menu, but they were very accommodating with recommendations on what item could be split between the two children in the party and that was a pretty good choice. They had a couple of pancakes and some eggs and bacon. They did have and we took advantage of a high chair and the atmosphere was such that we didn't feel like the kids were out of place or that our slightly soggy party member was out of place in the venue. The food was simple and satisfying. The atmosphere in the menu I would say are overall home-cooked meal on a family friend's patio, but that is the bright spot to me at this venue: how friendly and accommodating the staff were. They made suggestions, refilled coffee cups and made plenty of inquiries as to if we needed any additional items or sauces. It wasn't too crowded and in a lot of places around lunch time, you tend to feel pressured to leave with your party full of children on Sunday and I didn't feel that pressure here. It was a pleasant atmosphere for a meal and conversation this morning. It's been 13 years since I've been home to Pedro. I gotta say, the food here is exactly like when I was younger. Guacamole & Bacon omelet with Spanish rice was my go to and it's just as good as ever. Hopefully I'll be back before another 13 years to enjoy an iconic Pedro diner!
