The chef shared that he makes his Mole in house from a recipe he learned from his grandmother. So tasty, so good and so light and a hint of sweetness and flavorful spices. The fish salad and Albondigas delicious. This neighborhood place has been around forever and did not disappoint since I had not been there in forever and a day. Went with a group for a birthday lunch and oh so heartwarming the owners came out and sang Las Mañanitas wit dessert.

First of all I was very excited to eat here but that quickly changed.. I order some enchiladas it cost me $15. and I was extremely unsatisfied.. They gave me 2 super small enchiladas with one spoonful of Beans and Rice.. I felt like i got ripped off especially since the food didn't taste any good.. I'm never eating here again. It aint the food that's paying the bills for this terrible place. The only reason this place is still in business is because they rent out the spot to a TV Drama show called east los high..

Terrible Service Here , i placed order waited 25 mins for them to tell me there was no tortillas and no red salsa . Mind you its 2pm Lunch Hour Shouldnt an establishment be stocked up on products and everything needed . Shouldve took a hint when i walked in and no one was in attendance besides me and my mother . That Blatant 5 star rating solely because of their filming for "EAST LOS HIGH"

I used to come here as a kid decades ago and had fond memories. It was nice to see the interior hadn't changed much. The food was good, I would return to try something else. Tip Pepe will always have a special place in my heart.

Tio Pepe is a great, authentic, Mexican restaurant with flavors and spices that marry together in perfect harmony. I highly recommend checking it out in Boyle Heights. If you’re feeling like making an evening of it, karaoke on Sundays and

nomas queria ver el juego y tomar unas cervezas pero todo el tiempo que estaba aquí el dueno me estaba mirando como si era una paleta el pinche guey es come 80 anos y es un joto no voy a regresar.

  • jorge hernandez

Decent..beans and rice are good.. Tacos dorados are homemade.. Green sauce good...red sucks... Decent place to support your "mom & pop" place.... I doubt this place gets packed.

Tio Pepe is a hangout for OPAL xv gangsters so be careful. people have gotten robbed in the back of the alley of Tio pepe's. Its not worth the risk for such bad food.

  • J B

Yum x 100! These nachos are no joke! If you haven't tried the food you owe it to yourself. And the space is so much larger than I would have thought.

  • John Chang

George & Michael are the friendly owners of this cozy Boyle Heights restaurant; just tried their spinach enchilada - definitely coming back for more!
