What our customers say
I went to eat at el Pegao today and I have nothing but positive things to say about this place. My waitress was the sweetest. I made a mistake when I ordered my food, when it was brought to their attention the owner had no problem correcting it for me so I could enjoy my meal. I also HIGHLY recommend their pina coladas!
Joseli Cornier
Food was good, good taste, Service was outstanding. Minimal Waiting time. My only observation is food portions could be a little bit more for the price paid(and I understand inflation) and would probably add some salad to the mofongos. Otherwise great atmosphere and ambience.
