A trendy Mexican spot in NYC hosted a Pedro Pascal doppelganger showdown, with about 30 fans channeling their inner star from The Mandalorian and The Last of Us.
Son Del North Mexican restaurant’s co-owner Annisha Garcia, whose spot sits in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, said Pascal’s 2023 dig about NYC lacking good Mexican food sparked the idea.
“We were like, ‘There is, and we are here,’” Garcia told the New York Post.
The crown went to Pedro No. 5, aka Brooklyn resident George Gountas.
Gountas, who works as a lighting pro for Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, entered after his wife Jenny Gania pushed him to join.
“It started when the Game of Thrones came out the first time — that’s when we first heard it,” Gania said. “Then some kids started noting it, too, so I was like, when we saw this [contest], I was like, ‘It’s Father’s Day. You have to go. It’s going to be your Father’s Day treat.’ It’s funny, because he’s not on social media at all. But now he’s going to be everywhere.”
Gountas scored $50 and free burritos for a year from Son Del North.
