My husband spied Pete's one day driving along Cave Creek and suggested we give it a try. We both love thai food so it was certainly worth a whirl. After we both had an exhausting day at work and there was "nothing in the house to eat" we decided to head out for dinner and give Pete's a try. The only regret I have is that we didn't stop in sooner!
The interior is much nicer than I expected. It is larger than it seems and very tastefully decorated.
Our server was so friendly and helpful with menu suggestions. He informed us that their spiciness levels were a bit higher than most other restaurants - a tip that was much appreciated.
We ordered the tofu satay to start, which consisted of huge pieces of tofu on skewers and delicious coconut peanut sauce (not the normal sauce from a bottle you get in most restaurants either). The hubs got massaman curry with tofu - his standard measurement for new thai restaurants. - which he thoroughly enjoyed. And I ordered the pad see yew with tofu - so delish. The portions are generous and all of the ingredients were fresh and delicious. Both the hubs and I were impressed with the amount of fresh cooked tofu (not to mention the huge pieces_ in each of our dishes - most places tend to skimp on that.
I felt like Bill Murray in "What About Bob?" the entire meal. All I could seem to say was "mmm!" "yummm!" "this is so good!" The ingredients were so fresh and the flavors were wonderful.
I would enthusiastically recommend this place to any Thai food lovers out there. And as others have said, its worth the drive even if you don't live near by. This is my favorite Thai place that I have been to in the city. The hubs and I will definitely be back!
