" I was recommended Don Pepe from a friend, and it didn't disappoint! The tamales were incredibly flavorful, and the empanadas were a lovely bonus. It's clear they take the time to prepare fresh food, and it shows! If you’re looking for authentic flavors reminiscent of those found in Mexico, this is the place. The small space gives it a family vibe, which I loved. I will definitely be returning to try their chilaquiles next! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down, one of the best places I've ever eaten! The flavors at Don Pepe are genuinely authentic. The pork tamale was stuffed generously and had a delightful tang from the chili sauces. I sat down with a friend and savored the chilaquiles with an egg on top, and it was fabulous! It is hard to find such passion for culinary arts, and you can feel it in each bite. Hats off to the culinary team for creating such delightful dishes. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are searching for true authentic Mexican cuisine, look no further than Don Pepe! I visited last weekend, and the moment I walked in, I felt the warmth of a family-run place. The tamales were incredibly tasty, filled with rich flavors and moist masa. I ordered the chilaquiles with green salsa, and they were out of this world! The staff made me feel at home, treating everyone like family. I cannot wait to return and try other menu items like the breakfast tacos and their Mexican hot chocolate, which my friend raved about. Don't miss this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Don Pepe on a Tuesday evening and had a fantastic experience! The service was prompt and friendly. I ordered chicken enchiladas and my partner had tacos al pastor; both were delicious. What stood out was how fresh everything tasted. The ambiance was casual, and we truly felt welcome. A must try for anyone wanting a taste of authentic Mexican food without the fuss. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience at Don Pepe! First time trying their breakfast. It was packed, but the wait was worth it. I had huevos rancheros that were absolutely delightful. The salsa was fresh, and I loved the complimentary refried beans on the side. My partner enjoyed the breakfast taco platter; the flavors were spot on! The staff worked hard to manage the crowd and kept everything moving smoothly. My only complaint would be the noise level during peak hours, but the food keeps me coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Don Pepe! The breakfast tacos are filling and made with fresh local ingredients. The staff is super friendly and very quick at serving. The environment is light and welcoming, perfect for catching up with friends over brunch. The only downside was that my consistency of beans with my meal was a bit off; some were great while others weren't as flavorful. Still, the overall experience was amazing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say I was disappointed with my visit to Don Pepe based on its reputation. While the tamales were okay, I found them a bit too heavy on masa and lacking in filling. The salsa served with the chilaquiles felt more like it came from a bottle rather than being house-made, which was disappointing. The service was great, however, and the restaurant was clean and cozy. I might consider giving it another shot but perhaps with different items. " (*Curated Review*)
