I also had fried zucchini. I don't think I'm overstateing how good and fresh the food was. I'd eat there again today. They have a wide variety of good Mexican and American. They even have a drive through. A must try place to eat.😋“

“We patronized Pepper Steak restaurant recently for the first time. The food tasted authentic Mexican style. The food tasted just like my grandmother made it during my childhood years (and she is from Jalisco). My sister and mother also loved the food. We went a second time and we just loved the food. I would highly recommend this restaurant to any person. And finally, the attendants are very polite and helpful. Asking if “everything is fine” during our stay.“

“Just a great place. Wonderful menu. Great prices. Great portions. Very friendly staff and service. We were visiting Arrowhead and we’ll definitely stop by the next time we’re in town! Highly recommended.“

“I don't normally give five stars to every aspect unless it's really deserved, but we had a surprisingly delightful experience.

It didn't start out great - when we went to the hostess desk, she was being scolded by some guy who didn't get a free breakfast or a free meal or something free. I don't even know what it was, but he rattled the hostess to the point where she seemed to have a difficult time helping us once the guy left. In fact, a server had to help us and took us back to our table. We didn't have high hopes, but we were there and we were hungry.

Our server was just a sweetheart. She was quick and efficient. Our appetizer was the Mexican Street Corn dip and - oh yeah - it's just as delicious as it sounds. In the end, we were practically licking the bowl. My husband had a California Club sandwich, but I got the spaghetti and meatballs. I'm very picky about my spaghetti sauce - I don't like a bunch of fancy spices that compete with the sweetness of the tomato. Just give me a good, simple marinara. Well, they did. And it was spectacular. Flavorful, simple, and delicious. The meatballs were also amazing - cooked all the way through, no pink (which is just so gross and unappetizing), and they were very tasty.

I have to say that we really were pleasantly surprised by the meal. I'm going to go back for that spaghetti because it was just that good. If the restaurant manager reads this review, don't change a thing! It was perfect!

Bon appetite!“

“Staff was helpful kind and cheerful despite us showing up right at closing time. The food was hot and delicious, flavorful and in generous quantity. Basically perfect. It was cold outside and the food presented welcome respite. So so good!!“

“If you call in advance about a large party... please check in a week before & then a day before event. They do take reservations for large parties. So they can can properly staff in advance.
I dropped the ball on reconfirming the original information I was given concerning mid to large party events. So there was a misunderstanding/ miscommunication between me & the staff person I originally spoke with, however, the staff did a great job at accommodating our large birthday party of 14 ppl with 5 more added on last minute.
I do believe we were a bit overwhelming, but the end result was good. It was a full house tonight & the staff handled every obstacle like champs. Thanks you guys!“
