" Don't understand the hype. The food is decent, but nothing I would wait in line for. I had their nachos which were underwhelming as there was hardly any cheese. The waiting area isn't the cleanest either, but the staff were friendly enough. I'm willing to give it another shot, but I'd definitely order something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I heard many rave reviews about Pepe's, but my experience was underwhelming. I found the food to be just average and not particularly exciting. The carne asada burrito I tried was not bad, but the meat was a bit tough. I was expecting more given the hype. The service was friendly, but the overall vibe didn’t match the expectations set by others. I might give it another try someday, but I'm not rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Pepe's after a long day and ordered a burrito. While it was good, I found it to be a bit salty for my taste. The ambiance was lively, and the service was friendly, but the food just needs a bit more balance in flavor. I may give it a second chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the worst experience recently. The food was subpar, dry, and lacking flavor. Even the staff, who are usually nice, seemed overwhelmed and uninterested. I hope this was just an off day because I've always enjoyed their food in the past, but I can’t excuse this visit. I left feeling disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" The California burrito was stellar—massive and overflowing with ingredients. The guac is a must, and their hot salsa has the perfect kick! I loved every bite of my meal. The service had a warm, family-friendly vibe, making it a pleasant dining experience. I recommend grabbing a meal here if you're in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a very disappointing visit. I ordered the burrito special and was given a completely different order. The staff was not particularly helpful in resolving the issue, and when I finally received my meal, it was just okay at best. This wasn’t my first visit, but it may be my last unless I hear of changes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely phenomenal service! The staff were eager to help and truly exemplified hospitality. To top that, the carne asada burrito was massive and had layers of flavor. It was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. I will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
