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.

Pros: awesome people, huge vegan menu, clean

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

Delicious! - Edit
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!

Simpy amazing! - Edit
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.
