" I had a disappointing experience at Pepitos. We waited a long time to be seated, and even longer for our food to arrive. When it did arrive, my plate was lukewarm and it just didn’t taste fresh. The flavors were lackluster, which is not what I expect from a Mexican restaurant. The service seemed overwhelmed, as my server was nice but didn’t check in as often as I would have liked. Not sure I would return any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a pleasant surprise! I just moved to the area and stumbled upon Pepitos while searching for a local Mexican restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were full of flavor, with just the right amount of spice. The portion sizes were generous as well, making it a satisfying meal. The service was quick and my server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, I left feeling very happy with my experience and can’t wait to return to try other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to check out Pepitos after hearing about their famous margaritas. We were not disappointed! The drinks were spectacular, especially the watermelon margarita. The atmosphere was fun and lively, making it a great spot to catch up with friends. We shared a couple of appetizers, and the guacamole was fresh and delicious. Overall, it was a great night out; I’ll definitely be recommending this place to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say I really enjoyed my visit to Pepitos. The tacos al pastor were outstanding! The marinated pork was juicy, and the combination of flavors was on point. The service was quick despite being busy, and I appreciated the efficient manner in which my server handled the orders. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would happily return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Awesome experience at Pepitos! The food was delicious, especially the mole - rich, smooth, and authentic. The staff were attentive, making sure our drinks were always full. We had a table outside, and it was perfect for a warm evening. The downside was the pricing; it felt a little high for a casual dinner. However, the quality made up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I liked the idea of Pepitos, but unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to what I hoped for. The tacos were underwhelming and didn’t have that homemade feel. The service was friendly but a little slow, especially when the restaurant was busy. It’s a nice place to socialize, but if you’re looking for robust flavors, you might need to look elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" The location is easy to get to and has adequate parking, which is a plus. The vibe when you walk in is lively, and the staff was quick to greet us. I had the fish tacos which were fantastic - fresh fish and the unique salsa was the highlight. The portion size was just right for me. I enjoyed the overall experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for casual dining with a fun twist. " (*Curated Review*)
