look at the menu before ordering they have specials that are way cheaper and they won’t tell you they will act slow like they don’t know what you want for example 5beef taco are 13.75 but if you just ask for the 5beef taco special it’s only 11 you have to ask for it tho even tho its the same exact thing

I was told before ordering make sure you tell them how you want your food . I was ordering for someone else and they didn't want any tomatoes on their tacos. It was to late the food was already prepared. They just landed from a flight and wasn't able to tell me. Great food …

  • Bryle Livingston

It was in the afternoon, Mom(Senior) had to use rest room first before ordering lunch. She was told by manager she had to order food first than use rest room . We ordered one taco and left!!! I will not be visiting this establishment anymore!!!! Shame on you!

  • Choo Scott

The food was extra bland. While the employees were nice, there food wasn't and I was hungry so the food should've been great!!! On top of being bland the food was dry. I will not be returning to Pepe's and I do not recommend this place to anyone.

  • Kiyana Evans

Stole $40 from me, then proceeded to tell me it was my fault. I never got a refund or food. My total came to $38.35, my card was swiped, money was taken. Upon completion the cashier proceeded to tell me that he made a mistake and charged me

  • Create Happiness

I’ve been eating at Pepes’s for for over 30 years and this is the only Pepes's that refuses to give or even sell you a side of guacamole!!! You have to buy a whole container of guacamole for $6. I explained I don’t eat guacamole like that

  • Ella McD

They have good ribs but the lady that work there is very rude and ugly attitude the sauce is so good when you buy it but it come out the tray they put it in before you get home. She said it does but it does they give you so much meat they

  • Fred Watts

Terrible service!!! The cashier had an attitude, the food was too expensive, and can be believe they wanted to charge me for the salsa and hot peppers to naturally go with my meal. Please!! How did we allow these cheapskates to run their

  • Alexis Renee Bardou

I have been going to Pepe's for so many years and I have never been charged for the peppers when buying a very large order & I know the prices are going up.. But now they neglect giving them at all wow..now the peppers are almost $2 for

  • Tichina Mables

I went this evening to buy 10 tacos. It was $22 in cost. I get my for and you give me 7 hot sauce packs that are like packaging the size of a ketchup pack. He told me I had to share the small packs. Also saying I have to split the small

  • Marlana Crews

Be specific with your order such as sizes or else they'll just charge you for the biggest or most expensive options without asking which one you want. I asked for side of sour cream and was charged for the large then noticed there was a

  • Wesley Radford

I was at this location today. the food is always excellent. I live by the lake, this is not close. I paid for extra sauce that was not I n th bag when I got home. nothing was offered to make up for the inconvenience, and when I asked

  • Tameka Whiters

I will not be returning! Rude expensive and greasy! They charge you for things other Pepe’s give free! And act nasty when you ask questions, gave me the smallest tomato , one only one! The steak was greasy ! Giving Pepes a bad name!

  • Lollie N

I love this location bc they actually care what and how the food is presented. Seasoning be on point. Customer service is great. I ❤️ pepes already!! With attributes that separate them from other locations is a great plus!! More

  • Tashianna Bostick

Food is usually pretty good. None of the other locations taste as good. I'd give it a 5, but sometimes the meat is old(as in not fresh probably the same meat all day was used, not like they used meat from days prior. It'snot a

  • Patricia

The food was good this time after not being there for many years. The man taking the orders was not friendly, and appeared to be a bit impatient when taken food orders..often times other nationalities, disrespect, Black

  • Mari Vargas

Waiting/booth area smelled terrible. Most Pepes are sit down restaurants, this one is not. Food wasn't worth the $. Rice wasn't fully cooked and the red sauce that was all over everything tastes like it belongs on pizza.

  • Marie McDonald

I didn't enjoy any of the food. It was very bland. The grocomole tastes like it came from a jar the worse I ever had, no chunks of avcardo Never will I go there again. The rice very over cooked or reheated to much More

  • Jacqueline Teague

The tacos are nothing like they used to be! Don’t know what kind of meat they’re using for the beef tacos but it sure isn’t ground beef! UPSET STOMACH…. Live close by and will avoid this place at all cost!!!!! More

  • Kimberly Carlos

This restaurant has been in the area for quite some time. Each order is prepared as one specifies. It tastes good, and I enjoy it. I purchased 3 fish tacos. I felt the price paid was a bit too high for the tacos.

  • Beverly Brock

The stuffed nachos are delicious. A classic I used to get as a kid. The enchiladas were so fresh and hot. Delicious. Been coming to this specific one for some years. Glad they're still making it. More

  • AM P

The food was not good! The beans and rice were dry! They both looked as if they had been cooked long before being put on the plate. I certainly will not be going back to this location again!

  • Ashley MJ

Literally my favorite place to eat when I’m craving enchiladas cozumel (crab meat). I usually get takeout and they always have it ready for me! I cant complain when the food always good More

  • Cubbies Go!

They didn't have mild sauce didnt notice till I was pulling off had to go back in and ask for it & they didn't even have it. Gave me hot sauce no way! Who eats tacos without sauce. I don't.

  • Vernec Pippens

Grande beef nachos were $12. Portion was small for the price considering a larger portion with more toppings at nearby places are $7.50. The taste is ok. I’ve had better.

  • ImhispreciOusp

Still the best Pepes on the south side. Although I spent 32 dollars on 10 steak tacos I thought that was too much! They were good though but a bit over priced.

  • Chatrika Epperson-James

The chicken tacos were good and this location has a drive through. There was a bit of a wait. Was able to catch a bit of the Ashanti and Keshia Cole Verzuz.

  • Janet Griffin (Set Apart)

I've eaten Pepe's for years. Every dish is mouth watering. The specials are affordable for all family budgets. I highly recommend this establishment.

  • Frederick Lee

Website said they opened at 11:00 I got there around 11:30 and it was closed. A male employee arrived a few minutes later but still didn't open up.

  • Jermaine Reed

They have $1.29 beef tacos every Tuesday and Thursday. The food is not spectacular, but it's worth eating. The service is extremely slow though.
