We tried Pepper's this year and everyone loved it, even our pickiest eaters. The staff was kind and delivery was on time. We will definitely order from them again next year.“

“I’ve honestly been thinking about my last visit to La Paz for days! Guacamole and top shelf margarita was delicious! My husband had steak fajitas and loved them. I had the surf and turf (snapper taco and bacon wrapped tamarind shrimp) it was awesome! Both the black beans and the refried beans tasted rich and homemade. I look forward to trying many things on the menu our next visit.“

“First of all, walking in, we were treated very well. Attentive, fast service. Our server checked in on us the perfect amount. The food came out fast, hot, and correct.

Everything was delicious. I got the carnitas with green sauce (carnitas con salsa verde) and it was excellent. The environment is lovely, and they had some banging dance tracks from the 80s-90s playing. Idk about live events, but during our visit, the house music was at a good volume and everyone at the table could hear each other without yelling. Highly recommend for a meal with family.“
