text: I had not been to Pedros in years since I lived in the area It was never one of my favorite places in Madison but I did enjoy it occasionally I am generally underwhelmed by the Americanized Mexican places that dot maps of most townsnnHaving just returned from a trip to Seattle and wanting to sit down in an air conditioned building and have some okay food my dad recommended Pedros It seemed like a fine option at the time Not terribly adventurous but I just had my adventure and I had to accommodate my dads lessthanthrillseeking palettennThe salsa was actually better yesterday than I ever remember it being in the past It was very thick and tomatoey with just a tiny hint of kick I would have preferred it to be a bit hotter myself but again being with the parental unit meant keeping to something a bit more tamennI had the asada burrito and my dad had the chili burrito Mine was fine long strips of pepper and onion mixed in with some cubed steak actually I would recommend cutting the veggies to about half their lengththey are too easy to pull completely out of the tortilla when you go to get a bite I had a side of refried beans and rice these were obviously simple sizes for the cooks because they were clearly just microwaved It was easy to tell because the rice was pretty dry The chili burrito was exactly what my dad was hoping for so there is thatnnAll in all if you know what you are in for it is very standard AmericanMexican fare nnAs an aside the previous time I was here a few years ago they had this fantastically gay waiter named Jimmy He was outrageously friendly and chatty and actually sat down at our booth with us to chat about Plan B and the LGBT scene in Madison It was a fun time
