Pelon's Baja Grill

As a California native, I really appreciate this place! Almost everything on the menu has a vegan alternative. There is an up-charge for it, but it's worth it. The owner and staff are super friendly, and they remember our usual order. We go here almost once a week and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
If I had to mention one negative thing, the vegan brownies are pretty dry. But, everything else is awesome! I love the vegan chicken tacos or the Vegan Grass Hut burrito and my husband loves the vegan fish tacos or the Vegan Dude or Curl burrito.

They have really great vegan options, I had the vegan carne asada nachos which were pretty delicious. I think maybe it was Daiya cheese they used, which isn't my favorite, but I still enjoyed my food. My husband (who isn't vegan) also enjoyed his food so it was pleasant for everyone.

We always enjoy Pelon's, and have been many times. Our favorite is the vegan version of the Big Kahuna.

I always get the vegan chicken/cheese quesadillas when I go. They're so good with the vegan sour cream and salsa they serve with them. Even my non-veg boyfriend loves them!

All we can say is, "Wow!" Pelon's Baja Grill is hands-down the best Mexican style food we've ever had. This counter-service restaurant is extremely vegan friendly. Many of the menu items can be made vegan with Gardein, Daiya, non-dairy sour cream and Pelon's outstanding homemade chunky guacamole. The vegan chicken nachos were amazing! We've had Gardein at many restaurants, but Pelon's sautes their Gardein in a special blend of spices that is out of this world. We also enjoyed The Curl burrito with breaded, deep-fried tofu and creamy vegan Baja sauce. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. She told us that Pelon's uses a separate grill for the vegan items. We can't wait for our next trip to Norfolk to come back to Pelon's. Other perks include vegan brownies, homemade sauces including a delicious pineapple habanero sauce, and a large selection of bottled hot sauces.
