| - The Don Pedros in Pineville is excellent and that's where we used to go every weekend when we lived in Ballantyne! Unfortunately, this University location is very stingy with the chips and salsa, we could never get any pico de gallo, the chicken in my burritos was dark meat and very tough and lacked any Mexican seasoning, the burritos were spongy and soggy, the Cole slaw was served hot because of the temperature of the plate, the rice had clearly been out for too long because it was hard and overheated so it clumped together, service seems rushed and confused and disappears, there may be 6 Servers that pass your table, but forget service unless your server happens to come back from hiding. The server also rushed prebusing our table even though we wanted to sit and talk and enjoy our teas. The server was keen on grabbing our cups! We had to eat with empty cups for most of the meal. I kept thinking please don't let me choke! Since this is a chain of locations, you would expect to find consistency from location to location, but for Don Pedros, it's simply not the case. We will not be returning to the University location. Also, a small child, a five year old girl I estimate was sat at the bar along with the two ladies that brought her and both ladies were drinking alcoholic beverages but not eating. I found it very inappropriate and disconcerting that the restaurant allowed this to happen knowing full well the ladies would be driving that child home after drinking enormous cocktails in gigante glasses!
