Excellent, top-notch, absolutely first-rate. In Mexico, when something is "de pelos" it is performing at its best: the food was perfect, the person looked amazing, the event went off without a hitch. A wholehearted compliment with no irony attached.
“La comida estuvo de pelos, no sobró ni un bocado.”
“The food was incredible, not a single bite was left over.”
“Llegó de pelos hoy, bien arreglado y de muy buen humor.”
“He showed up looking great today, really put-together and in a fantastic mood.”
