" I was told to check out Original Red Pepper since it's supposed to be the best place in town, but I was a bit disappointed. The food was decent and while I appreciate the casual atmosphere, I found it to be very basic. My tacos were filled but tasted just average compared to what I've had elsewhere. However, I will say that the red sauce has a nice kick to it! Service was also quite friendly, so I’d probably give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

The staff was super nice, making it feel welcoming. Although it was really busy, my order came out quickly. It's a great spot to unwind with friends, and I can't wait to come back and try their famous grinder! " (*Curated Review*)

Trying their everything grinder should be at the top of anyone's list. The food comes quickly and hot, just the way I like it. I particularly enjoyed their spicy red sauce. Can't wait to return and bring some friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)
