" I was really excited to try out Pepe's after hearing so many great things. The buffet was decent, but some items felt a bit stale, which was disappointing given the hype. The staff were friendly but seemingly overwhelmed, causing a longer wait for drinks. While I enjoyed the ambiance, I think I'll stick with a la carte next time to avoid the buffet letdown. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Pepe's highly enough! They focus on authentic ingredients and flavors that remind me of my travels in Mexico. The restaurant's atmosphere is friendly and filled with colorful decor that makes you feel welcome. No shortage of delicious options, and their margaritas are fantastic as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent place for a casual family dinner! The kids love the variety in the buffet, and I love the homemade sauces. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. It can get a little noisy during peak hours, but it adds to the lively atmosphere. Our server was top-notch and filled our waters without us even asking. I fully recommend bringing your whole family! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a fantastic spot for a family outing or a fun night with friends. The buffet offers a plethora of traditional Mexican dishes. Although some items might become repetitive, they are generally delicious! Our server was friendly and most importantly, attentive. I’ve brought multiple friends here, and they'll all tell you the same thing: it’s worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pepe's Mexican Restaurant has been a nice family spot for years. I've seen it change owners a few times but manage to keep the authentic vibe. Their margaritas are great during happy hour, and the buffet has a wide selection. I love the carne asada; I always finish my plate! We will keep returning as a family tradition. " (*Curated Review*)

" Needless to say, I won’t be returning to this restaurant. Our service was frightfully poor, and we were never served our drinks despite asking multiple times. When the food finally came, it lacked the kind of flavor I expected from a Mexican restaurant. I was really looking forward to the tacos but unfortunately, they turned out to be bland and uneventful. A big disappointment. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Pepe's last weekend and had a mixed experience. The atmosphere was bright and colorful, which is a plus. Unfortunately, the food didn't meet my high hopes. The tacos were underwhelming and the quantity felt scarce for the price. Hopefully, my next experience will be more favorable as I like to support local businesses. " (*Curated Review*)
