“When i go to Chicago Pepe's is where I go..the food is great”
“My cousin and I were out shopping in Evergreen when we got hungry, so we decided to stop by Pepe’s Restaurant. The tacos were delicious, and those margaritas hit just right, especially the frozen margaritas. You can order them in a regular size or go for a larger one. It was a nice stop while we were out enjoying the day.”
“The jerk chicken quesadilla was so juicy & spicy. Peach margarita fye!!!!!”
“Pepe’s never disappoints. The food is fresh and flavorful—everything from the tacos and enchiladas to the rice and beans hits the spot. The margaritas are perfectly mixed and always a highlight. Service is quick and friendly, and the atmosphere feels relaxed and welcoming, whether you’re there with friends or family. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portions. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m craving authentic Mexican comfort food.”
“I Love This Food!! The best Mexican food in town, Hands Down!!”
“Been awhile since I had a real Pepe’s lunch. This location is top notch!”
“Pepe’s will always be one of my favorite Mexican restaurants!! The food is good and the price is even better!! I use to always get tacos and I’ve recently started exploring different options. This visit I ordered the Tamales dinner and couldn’t finish it all. Maybe it’s because I always eat the free chips and salad before my meal comes. It was good as well but not as flavorful as I expected. The service was good, parking lot outside so no problem there.”
“I am beyond disappointed and disgusted with my whole order. I paid about $40 for slop. I ordered a nacho and there was minimal chips waaaaayyyy to much of the meat (which taste nthn like beef) I didn’t receive sour cream or peppers, and I ordered tacos and they put cheese on it and I didn’t ask for so 5 tacos went to waste. I’m very disappointed and I will never order from here here again the food was trash.”
“Every time I eat here, I get The enchilada with crab meat. It’s usually good but this time I waited an unusually long time for my order. I got home and bite into it and it was completely dried out… like freezer burned and spoiled with a sour smell. I’ve called multiple times and the line is just busy. I’ll try again to see if they make this right. Going forward people, look at every carefully and never buy with crab. No telling how long it’s been in the freezer!!!”
