Pete`s Cafe in Catalina Island

Nice place while you wait for your ride!

Without a shadow of a doubt the worst tacos I have ever had in my life. We had them during happy hour for $1 each. Had I known how bad quality, taste they were, I wouldn’t eat them even if they paid me to do so. Worst food experience in years.

Awesome food. Went for happy hour tacos which were a dollar each, asada, chicken and carnitas only. We don't eat meat but my mother does so she was happy. We ordered fish tacos with daughter and they were delicious. My mom enjoyed her tacos so much she ate 6 of them. Gaby and Manuel were awesome, great costumer service totally above and beyond!! We left so happy and full😁. They also serve margaritas, and others spirits. Smoothie, milk shakes ice cream and more.

Petes is our favorite for late night vacation eats!!!

Their street tacos were decent and hit the spot. Ours has a little too much grissle tho

Had a great breakfast bagel!!

So good!

This place was a great, the only issue I had and it's not an exclusive issue to just the particular establishment but to most of the places on the island is sometime they lacked an ingredient or two.

Way too expensive for lack luster food and service.

Nice place for a break, with some good food /snacks 🥤🍪🍩🍻🍨!!

Great prices and service, food is pretty good.

Amazing carnitas tacos. And the salsa is out of this world.

Shrimp tacos are really good. Even though I love spice, I wish they had something milder (like tartar sauce) to go with the tacos. The steak quesadillas were good, but very oily, and would have been better with lettuce and tomatoes.

Great staff. some cool people here if you take a moment to chat with them.

Cheap margaritas and huge nachos, with shade. Great place to hang out and get out of the sun in Avalon.

Best little eatery in Avalon, and amazing dollar-tacos happy hour from 2 until 7. Definitely the first stop next visit to the island.

It's a nice place. Inexpensive and the guys working there are always happy and friendly. The food and drinks are good and they stay open past 11:00 p.m which is great for tourists.The place to go for a quick bite to eat even late at night.

Good Mexican food plus $1 tacos from 2-6pm during happy hour.

This is my go-to place when I'm making a quick trip from the interior into Avalon. With one of the best happy hour taco specials around you know you're going to get good food when you go to Pete's. I always recommend the artichoke quesadilla. The shrimp, no matter how you have them, are always delicious. Eat at Pete's and your taste buds will always love you.

My husband's favorite pizza shop during our new year stay on the Catalina Island. The food was quick, the pizzas excellent and the decor quaint and cozy.

I always enjoy the breakfast burritos but they are a little overpriced. They well keep you full all day however.

The plaza is very gorgeous with lots of selections of clothes and other items to buy for souvenirs for tourist. I would highly encourage this place to anyone.

Nice little hangout

One of the best places to eat they have happy hour from 2pm-7pm

My wife and I happened upon this place when we had some time to kill. So glad we did! Great happy hour, solid drinks, and authentic Mexican food. We each had some street tacos and beer. We then had a super delicious piña colada. It’s an outdoor place with outdoor seating only, but perfect for the island hang out. Honestly, taste-wise it was probably our favorite place in Catalina. Great casual bite to eat with good drinks.

Really bad experience here. The meat and tortilla are marinated in fat and it doesn't taste good at all.Also the ice tea was terrible and it was all over priced. I would not come back.

Ok, this is the place to go to. Great service, better food and good size portions. And it doesn't cost an atm and a leg.

Loved the taco happy hour.

Generous portions, great menu variety & BOOZE

I got the breaded fish sandwich with fries and a drink, my wife got the calamary, the fish definetly tasted fresh and was very delicious. And so was the fish tacos...Def recommend this place

Pete's Avalon Plaza Cafe is a stand that serves a variety of fare: Mexican favorites like tacos (asada, chicken, shrimp), nachos and burritos, to fish and chips and pizza among other items. They serve sodas as well and alcohol (beer, margaritas, etc). The stand is open from morning (they offer breakfast) to late at night (11pm). It sits in a lot adjacent to where tourists can catch island tours. Like pretty much all restaurants on the island, prices are kind of high. Service is friendly here and reasonably fast. Customers place their order at one window and pick up their food at another. There are tables under a large canopy, everything is simple.

Just about the best place on the island for a quick breakfast or lunch. I have never received a bad meal from Pete's. Nice sized meal for a good price. Only complaint is that occasionally there is a long wait time. Probably to be expected, however, there is often a large crowd.

Good food clean

I very much like the food and customer service, fantastic location right next to my house. The employees are always super nice. Will come back again.

I love finding hidden gems when I explore. The shrimp tacos were absolutely the best, the fish tacos were the bomb. Watch out for the hot sauce they give you with them though, it will knock your socks off. Don't even get me started on the fresh Margaritas simply the best ever. Reasonable priced too.

Delicious salsa, flavorful shrimp tacos

Tacos aren't even worth the $1 price at happy hour. The quality has significantly decreased in the past year

great happy hour tacos

Awesome happy hour. Best carnitas.

Great taco stand for beers and tacos!

It's a nice place. They are open till late night. Place for quick bite.

So, this place was interesting. No indoor seating, but cheap happy hour food and margaritas. Nice place to sit outside and enjoy the weather under a canopy. I had a chicken taco here, it was not so great, but others I was with really loved the margaritas (saying they were the best they had had) and said the shrimp tacos were really good. The staff are interesting characters and made it fun and never minded us hanging around for awhile chatting.

BEST HAPPY HOUR ON THE ISLAND!!! BEST TACOS!!!

Food was ok, but when i realized i just paid $11. For a hot dog....This was my second time the first time had tacos...do not get the steak tacos.The carnitas tacos would have been worth going back for if i wouldn't have been ripped for the hot dogs

Great food, friendly staff

I ate here a couple of times had the buffalo burger and a double cheese burger .I gotta say Remember carls jr if it doesn't get all over the place it doent belong in your face . well thats petes burgers for sure . ill be back

Great food, nice prices, grand people, even though I can't speak Spanish vary well, the owner translated for me and I didn't have to ask :)

Fast service and great food!

Pete's is a great spot for a quick outside bite. It is quintessential Avalon.

Terrible service and took 30 minutes just to get my food
