I ordered the Supreme Burrito, it was generously sized and smothered in a delicious sauce. The combination of rice, beans, lettuce, and my choice of protein was a flavor explosion.
To top it off, they included a serving of large tortilla chips, which were perfect for dipping.
The prices were quite reasonable, making it an excellent value for the quality and quantity of food we received. The friendly service was the cherry on top of our dining experience. I can't wait to return for another beachside meal!
Pete's Mexican Food ~ don't underestimate the quaint exterior and unassuming interior. What you will find is a great menu, tasty food, nice portions, and a friendly, hardworking, family-run business. It is a great place that is just far enough from Main St that you can avoid the hustle and bustle, yet close enough to jump right back into it when you're done eating!
My favorite type of restaurant…A hole in the wall with great food and excellent service! I had my usual ground beef taco and cheese enchilada with red sauce combo, served with rice and refried beans. The cheese enchilada was exceptionally yummy and the beef taco was good. I think I expected the meat to taste like Ortega taco mix that you get in the grocery store, so I don't know if a girl from Florida should be judging true Mexican tacos. I'm just used to the grocery store and Taco Bell. But the taco was very good!
Nothing was spicy at all, thank goodness! I asked first this time, and they assured me nothing was spicy and they told me the truth. The refried beans and rice were excellent. I don't usually care for refried beans and rice, but these were something to brag about. The chips and salsa was the main event, however! The chips were about the size of my palm, and they were delicious! The salsa was very good, too! The guacamole was ok and expensive. I've had better guacamole, but it was still good.
The service was another highlight! think it was the owner that kept coming outside and checking on me to make sure everything was OK, speaking to me in simple Spanish, which made it fun!
They have a few tables inside and a few tables outside. It was a beautiful August day in Huntington Beach with a temperature of 75° and with cool breeze, so I sat outside and it was wonderful! I could have never done that in Florida this time of year. 🥵🥵🥵
We love finding local places. This is a local place and the food was excellent! We loved sitting outside on a quieter street, under umbrellas. Not fancy, just perfect! We had a chili relleno burrito, a shredded beef taco, and an a'la carte chili relleno. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked great. Our order was delicious and good sized. The chips were included and freshly fried whole corn tortillas. A tasty change up from normal chips. The salsa was very good too. We'll be back next time we're in Huntington Beach.
DELICIOUS! We stayed in Huntington for a few days and Pete's was about 2 blocks from where we were staying and this was the first and last restaurant we went to. Unfortunately I was only able to get the one photo since I just wanted to devour their food.
My husband and I love this place, the entrees are flavorful and hot! The prices were beyond reasonable as well.
We are definitely coming back here when we find ourselves in Huntington again!
I had the super deluxe burrito. Excellent, with lots of chicken. I had to take some home. My wife had a tostada, which was also excellent, and we took a lot of that home too. The big guy behind the counter was very friendly and efficient. I appreciated the pictures of Pancho Villa and Pope John Paul II.
We sat outside and watched the Tesla's and BMW's go by. I will eat here again, if I ever go back to California.
This hidden gem has some of the best Mexican food in all of OC but definitely one of the best (if not the best) in HB! Everything I’ve had here has been perfect and I have zero complaints. The staff is also incredibly kind. The space is small so it’s definitely the perfect to-go place but when the weather is nice and tables are available, sitting outside is nice if you want to dine-in. I would recommend the enchiladas!
Happened upon this place by chance when heading down to San Diego. Incredibly friendly owners willing to bend over backward for us. Authentic Mexican Food made fresh, filling, reasonably priced, and tasty. Suggest stopping in if you’re passing through Huntington Beach or a local!
Fantastic tacos (had the shredded chicken and shredded beef). The shredded beef taco was the winner. Also had one shredded chicken and one shredded beef taquito, with guacamole which were good. The chips and home made salsa were delicious. The service by CJ and Pablo were wonderful. Loved it with the Mexican coke and the hot sauce. The side of fried jalepenos was a nice touch!

love this place. i come here every time i’m in hb. note that there’s no fish or shrimp tacos, sad. shockingly affordable for the area. just two blocks from the pier with free parking nearby. love everything about it.
small seating area if that’s what you’re worried about. staff is super friendly
