Food was good but service wasn’t. The gentleman is not very courteous. Bill is not itemized and prices are not what’s on the menu. What should’ve been no more than $50 for breakfast turned out to be $75. Way too expensive.

Tried to go with a friend from out of town at 12pm. Online says this place is open 8am-3pm. Pulled up only for there to be closed signs in the windows. Even the hours sign in the window said they'd be open today. If your hours have changed, just update them!

Beautiful environment and active as well so nice to eat and watch everything happen and very delicate as in the owner pays attention to detail and how the food is served. It’s not even an expensive place to eat. The food taste so good. I can’t believe I didn’t come here before.

Kid-friendliness: Made food specifically for 9 month old. Soup de Fideo. One egg. And beans.

Food was fine (the beans are a highlight) but was what I feel was intentionally overcharged by $6 for my food due to being “new”. Be careful when you check out. They only take cash, probably for that

Pepitas has the most delicious home style Mexican food. Their Mexican hot chocolate and huevos a la mexicana are the best in the west!!! Just love it. It is a small but very cozy and friendly place to have a good hot meal.

We have gone there for a while, the food is good but every time we get the bill its always more than what we kept track of. This last time we asked for an itemized receipt and we got the run around. Our bill as we kept track of the menu price would have been around $28.00. He gave us bill for almost $36.00. When we questioned it, his explanation didn't make sense. We didn't leave a tip since he gave himself a large tip. Wont go there anymore. If you eat there keep track of the prices and get an itemized bill.
