Stepping into San Pedro Mexican Restaurant at 3907 Central Ave in Kearney, NE feels like entering a bold and flavorful culinary experience straight from the heart of Mexico. The menu is packed with authentic Mexican dishes, each with its own distinct personality. A standout right away is the Carne Asada, grilled to perfection and served with a generous helping of rice, beans, and warm tortillas. It's simple, hearty, and delivers that smoky, grilled essence that true carne lovers crave.
For those seeking a creamy, comforting option, the Pollo con Crema is a rich chicken dish drenched in a luscious sour cream sauce, accented with bell peppers and onions. It's indulgent without being overpowering. Another highlight is the Chimichanga, a deep-fried burrito that balances crispy texture with savory fillings—be it shredded beef, chicken, or even beans for a vegetarian twist.
Taco fans won’t be disappointed either. The Street Tacos are small, soft corn tortillas topped with tender meats like carnitas, chorizo, or grilled chicken, finished with fresh cilantro and diced onions. They feel authentically street-style and pair perfectly with the restaurant’s house salsas. Don’t skip the Chile Relleno—a roasted poblano pepper stuffed with cheese and lightly battered, offering a smoky depth and a comforting, melty center.
Seafood options shine too, especially the Camarones a la Diabla, which brings the heat with spicy shrimp cooked in a fiery red sauce. It’s bold, spicy, and deeply satisfying. Meanwhile, the Fajitas Mixtas are a sizzling spectacle, arriving at the table on a hot skillet with a colorful medley of steak, chicken, and shrimp—perfect for sharing or indulging solo.
Even the appetizers are worth noting. The Queso Fundido—melted cheese with chorizo—is gooey, savory, and meant to be scooped with fresh chips. Pair any of these dishes with a cold drink, and the meal turns into a mini celebration. San Pedro’s menu is clearly crafted to bring Mexican comfort food to life, with bold spices, fresh ingredients, and generous portions at every turn.
