Very nice atmosphere, friendly and courteous wait staff, and the food was very well prepared. Fresh chips and salsa, and I had the nightly special, which on this day was "Steak Ranchera". Dish was well prepared, served fresh and hot, and full of taste, and it came with tortillas, which I chose flour, and rice and beans. All in all very nice dining expierience, and a well prepared meal served at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend that if in area, to stop and give them a try. I'll be back again.

Okay food. For the price it is more so for the atmosphere. More tex mex than californian mexican style food. Nice that they have complimentary chips and a salsa bar though. I like that they have lunch specials where you can choose from tacos, burritos, tamales, etc. The al pastor is actually really good though.

Wow the chips! Thin flour tortillas and salsa that are addictive it so good with the perfect light crunch. They get extra points for tequila margaritas. The food is great Tex Mex style. Service was excellent. A nice touch for families they offered a child's menu and crayons. There's a salsa bar that has several creations of salsa and jalapeños to satisfy your tastes. Enjoyed everything about this local restaurant. Recommended!

I have been going to Pelayos from Fairfield to Vacaville for 38 years. It has great people and food. Maria is a wonder in the kitchen. The family of owners are kind people. The service is awesome. What more is there to say.

Have been here before so my expectations were high, but they were still exceeded. Best Mexican style meal I've had in a while! I'll be back.

Ordered lunch specials for takeout this afternoon and the food was phenomenal. We were just discussing how no other restaurant in Dixon or Vacaville match the quality or authenticity of this restaurant. We've been coming here for years and it's consistently excellent!
