Service was alright, not the most attentive but they got the job done - varies on server of course.Food was pretty good but a bit spendy, tourist tax like most areas in Destin... One big marg and my dinner entree for about $33 after tax and tip.They were doing some construction but it still has a good atmosphere.

We were visiting Destin for vacation and decided to have dinner here with the family on the last night of our visit. The fajitas I ordered were the best I ever had and the margaritas were excellent! I forget the name of our server but he did an awesome job interacting with our 6 year old daughter and 3 year old son as well.The dining area is a little bit cramped but it doesn’t take away too much from the overall feel of the restaurant.If we ever make a trip back to Destin, we’ll be sure to eat here again!Kid-friendliness: You could tell our server was comfortable around younger kids, taking time to talk with them and make them laugh and feel welcome.

This was our first time here. The service was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. It was clean and our servers were very courteous and prompt. We will be going back the next time we are in Destin.

We went to Pepitos on Wednesday evening at around 7pm. It was not crowded at all. We were seated right away and brought chips and salsa right away. This was our third time to Pepitos…we came last year twice during our week-long stay in Destin…so you know we liked it!We ordered the Big “S” Burrito and a buy-one, get-one small house margarita. The first margarita took a minute to come out (unusual for an uncrowded Mexican restaraunt), but it was good. Our waitress was not super friendly but instead was direct and to-the-point.Our Burrito, which we have ordered before, came out, and after a few bites we realized it wasn’t hot around the edges of the plate, so we spent a few minutes cutting through the middle of the burrito, and it was warm, at best. Our waitress did come when we first got the burrito, so obviously we got everything we had ordered and were picking through the burrito. The second time she came, she could tell that we hadn’t really eaten any of it and she asked if everything was okay. We responded that it was just not hot…the flavor was good…but it was warm in the middle and cool everywhere else. She went to get the manager.The manager got to our table and asked what the problem was. We repeated our experience, and he told us that he walked passed us twice and asked how it was and that we said good. That didn’t happen. He may have walked passed us and we were picking at it, but that’s it. He then proceeded to demean us and tell us that it’s cool because of the lettuce and guacamole. We suggested that perhaps it sat at the window for a minute before being brought out. He said that wasn’t possible. We told him that with hot meat, hot beans, hot rice, hot cheese sauce, how peppers, and hot enchilada sauce, it should be steaming when we cut through the middle of the burrito. Either it sat there or the ingredients they used weren’t hot. He told us that the next time we order it, ask for the cold stuff on the side. Essentially, at first he was denying that anything was wrong and then spent the rest of the conversation justifying why it was cold.In the end, he took some money off the burrito and we went about our way. I don’t think we have that high of expectations especially for a not-busy, weeknight Mexican restaurant visit. We will definitely be trying a different establishment for our Mexican fix on future trips.

Food was soooo good, Noheila was out waitress she was awesome!!! I had the seafood burritos plate, that sauce was delicious! My sister had the Big A burrito with a pound a chicken and steak! It was huge!! Meat was tender and well seasoned.Our drinks were on point! A very nice over all experience. Definitely a must next time we are in Destin! They do charge you more if you use your card instead of cash had to deduct a star for that.

Here on spring break and every restaurant was packed. We only waited 20 minutes and everything was really good. The menu is expansive and everything we ate, we enjoyed. Parents and 3 kids are all very pleased. Definitely give this place a try, you’ll enjoy it.

Just say yes. To fresh food. My friends and family have probably had the entire menu from civeche, fajitas, bites, street tacos and more. Everyone is happy here.As a vegetarian this is my favorite place to order the black bean taco salad with chulula sauce drizzled all over ?I will have to take a picture one dayVegetarian options: For me I love the Taco salad and I substitute black beans instead of meat. The lettuce is always a fresh shiny green.Wheelchair accessibility: Depending on your height, there is standard tables in the middle and in the back. When the weather is nice the outdoor patio has open tables.

Had dinner here tonight. Food and service superb. I had the seafood Fajita Platter, it was Awesome. My wife had a steak burrito, very good. Chips and salsa were very good. We got there early, around 4pm, by the time we left, it was jammed packed. We recommend!!
So mad, I normally order a different item. This one is not Worth the price. Plus They would not give me another salsa for meal. I have pay. If I sat down they would have never charge me. I left a tip for my own pick up and not be able to ask for condiments that should come with meal. Very confused. I buy meal almost every other week from there. Really

So we wanted to try a great Mexican restaurant & it was plenty around and the local hotel recommended this spot. I gave 3 stars due to I have had better nachos honestly. They were pricey, which that doesn't play into the 3 stars. It just wasn't what we were looking for. It definitely was loaded after making it a nacho Supreme and for whatever reason it tasted better the next morning when I finished it, it seems the flavor just wasn't there until it settled. I can't say I would try again, but again try for yourself.

We came from Texas and we were looking for a good authentic Mexican food restaurant and we found Pepitos Mexican food in Cantina. I highly recommended it’s excellent food excellent service everything is on point you couldn’t be more happy here. They have also open bar with a whole bunch of international drinks whatever you like they’ll mix it up for you unfortunately for me I’m OK drinking for lent And drinking at the moment but they do have a good selection of tequila and good selection out all bourbon and whiskey it’s like a 10 out of 10. We love it and we come back to this place we definitely come back Piepitos Mexican, Cantina, and Grill.
