This place was horrible, went on a Sunday, the place was run down and dark. At first we thought it was closed, till my husband pulled on the door. We were the only ones dining in, there were a handful of people at the bar. The food was nasty! I ordered the taco dinner. I asked for soft flour tacos and when the food came to the table my flour taco shells were burnt, the rice was dry/cold and the refried beans smelled and tasted bad. I think I ate 1 taco and some of the rice left there hungry because I didnt trust the food. We got served our drinks in a 8 .0z plastic cup. When it was time take my cc for payment, the lady went around the back of the restuarant through some doors came back, went back again, then came back with a reciept? Kind of shady. We have dined there before some years ago and it was good but we will never go back again! Stay away from this one!

This Ain’t For You
Omg….this was by far the worst ever!! The food is absolutely not worth it. I’m not saying I won’t visit Pepes again just not this location. The food was horrible. Meat tasted old…smell of the rice was horrible didn’t even eat it. The beans were tasteless and watery. Just horrible. Never again. The little old lady was a sweetheart tho!!!

My refried beans were soupy, it had no taste. I had the burrito dinner and I would not get that again… it was basic tasting. I did not enjoy my food unfortunately.

I love Pepe’s the only problem is every time I go there there’s no cook 1140 opens at 1100 never a cook I prefer this Pepe’s over the one off Broadway. I would rate them a 4 if they would hire people how can u eat without a cook

If I could I would give them negative stars. Place was dark and dingy. We were told to sit anywhere. We were only given lunch menus. While we were reading the waitress/bartender brought us water in a plastic cup and never asked if we wanted anything else to drink. She asked if we wanted chips and salsa. The salsa was so runny it wouldn’t stay on the chip. We ordered the Chili Con Queso. It took 15 minutes for it to be served and when it was it all liquified except for a few chunks of cheese in it. We sent it back when she brought us our meal. Except for our meals being lukewarm our entrees flavorful and acceptable. We arrived there around 11:45 am and left around 12:45 pm. By 3:00 pm I felt sick to my stomach and ended up vomiting and had severe diarrhea. Considering this was my first and only meal of the day I can only attribute this to there food. I’ve eaten at a lot of Pepe’s and this one is by far the worst and gives Pepe’s a bad name.
