" Had a great experience at Pepe's last night! I had the fish tacos, and they were fresh and flavorful, unlike some other places I've visited. The ambiance brought a vibrant feel to our family outing, and the service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. I appreciate that the management is clearly making an effort to maintain quality in both food and service. I will definitely return for another bite of those tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pepe's has been a staple in this town for as long as I can remember. I recently visited with my friends again and found it pretty average. The food, while decent, was lacking that authentic zing. The enchiladas were good, but nothing that stood out as spectacular. I really enjoyed the chips and salsa, though. The service was friendly but took longer than expected, and our waitstaff seemed switched to other tables often. Still, I'd probably give it another try, so long as my expectations are low. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pepe’s was recommended by a friend, and it didn’t disappoint! The chicken enchiladas were bursting with flavor, and the accompanying rice complemented perfectly. I loved the ambiance; it felt very homey and warm. The staff was friendly and attentive, constantly checking to make sure we were happy. I honestly think I found my new favorite Mexican restaurant! I’m really excited to visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Pepe's with my family last week, and while we were initially hopeful, the experience didn’t live up to our expectations. The chips and salsa were decent, but that was the highlight of the evening. My husband ordered the steak fajitas, and they were bland and overcooked. I went for the chicken sizzling platter, which was a mix of chicken with greasy vegetables. On the other hand, the staff was friendly and tried their best to turn our experience around, but it just didn’t work out. I don’t think we’ll return in a hurry. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't often write reviews, but my visit to Pepe's left me quite perplexed. The atmosphere felt welcoming, but unfortunately, that was where the positives ended. I ordered the enchiladas with high hopes, but what arrived was a bland dish covered in unidentifiable cheese. The flavor was nearly nonexistent, and the salsa was more like tasteless tomatoes than a vibrant sauce. The service was adequate, but it felt rushed. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, I suggest you look elsewhere. Overall, I would rate my experience a 2 out of 5. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stopped by Pepe's after a long day, hoping to enjoy a great meal. Unfortunately, the reality was less than ideal. My taco plate was bland and a little cold, not what I expected from a Mexican spot. The restaurant did have a vibrant atmosphere that made it inviting. Service was quick, even though the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. Sadly, the food did not match the lively vibe by any means, and it's left me feeling on the fence about returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family visited Pepe's for a casual dinner. Initially, we were excited due to the welcoming vibe, but disappointment soon followed. I ordered the pork nachos, and my husband went with the shrimp fajitas. The nachos came out cold and soggy, definitely not the crunchy delight we'd imagined. The shrimp, while plentiful, lacked seasoning and flavor. We ended up mixed on the service too; the server was friendly but seemed overwhelmed and forgot some items we ordered. Unfortunately, it felt more like dining at a chain restaurant than enjoying authentic Mexican cuisine. We’ll likely look for different options next time. " (*Curated Review*)
