Pelon’s is known for their fish tacos, which are made of breaded fried white fish topped with shredded green cabbage, salsa Fresca, and Baja sauce enveloped in a light corn tortilla.

Everything is served with the freshest-of-fresh seafood, chicken, and beef. Plus, they offer vegan and gluten-free menu options as well.

I love the return of a good happy hour, and Pelon’s does not disappoint. Happy Hour is every day from 3 to 6 p.m., and they have awesome deals on both import and domestic bottled beers, margaritas, wine, and tacos. Not only are the Happy Hour deals great, Pelon’s offers featured specials (see above), in addition to the daily specials. Now how can you pass up a great deal on great food and cocktails?
