Well now that I live here we decided it's about darn time that we go ahead and try it out. It's moved from Freeport to Brunswick, just north of Freeport, and it's now on Maine Street. (Those Mainers are so darn clever with their names of places - Mainely this, and Mainely that, on Maine Street.) It's a bit hidden, so you have to know just where to look. It's essentially in the basement of Richard's, which is a German food place, where you will get bratwursts, not burritos and burgers. You park in the back and walk through the (at this point in the evening) dark parking lot to a small lit stairwell that leads down to the door into Pedro O'Hara's. You go in and there's a cheerful host to your left who asks you how many there will be eating tonight, and then asks whether you'd like to sit up high or down low. (Some of the tables are regular height and others are bar-height.) There are festive decorations all over the entire restaurant: artful skull cut-out paper flags hanging from the ceiling, as well as the Mexican flag, chili peppers on the walls and on the aprons, sombreros, chili pepper lights, and then over in the bar there are beer signs everywhere, as well as street signs, the Irish flag, Guinness posters galore, and various other Irish paraphernalia. And last night they had Halloween music playing. Including, but certainly not limited to, Thriller. Huzzah! I had a sweet potato and black bean burrito, which was spiced perfectly and covered in cheese, served with beans and rice. Scott had a burger with cheese, lettuce, and avocado with fries on the side. They serve chips and salsa as the starter for everyone to munch on while waiting for food. And they have any number of margaritas, Irish-themed mixed drinks, beers, wines, and soft drinks to choose from. To see their entire menu click here.
Needless to say, I'm glad we finally went! I'd go back again!
