Haven’t been here in a long time and did not enjoy the food. Had guacamole and ceviche and they were both bland. I understand everyone does them differently, but seasoning or flavor is a must. I’ve done both myself many of times, and never had something so bland. I did go cinco de mayo so it could have played a role in it all, so I cannot judge too harshly. They did have great music, and also not much service

We had a fajita platter for two that was large. We're added their shredded chicken to it. We also were there for happy hour which great. Lourdes was our server who was sweet and attentive. Generous chips and salsa.

Food was very good. I enclosed pics. I got the seafood enchiladas and wife got flautas 13.And I think worthy of mention, the restroom/ washroom was cleaner than any Mexican restaurant that I’ve ever seen. Cleaner than most restaurants period.Highly recommend this place.

I had hoped for more. My wife really liked her street tacos, but she couldn't say the same for her street corn. An order was two ears. They were slathered with sour cream, but other than they had literally no spice. I had the seafood enchiladas. The shrimp had that smell that says I'm not really as fresh I could be, and rather than covered in a cheese sauce what was on them was mostly sour cream. The choriqueso was interesting, but I wouldn't order it again. They were not great. I would have liked to try one of their margaritas, but as a small starts at 12.99 I had to pass. For $69 with only one draft beer it seems overpriced.

Pepitas Mexican restaurant is a culinary gem. I recently indulged in their grilled steak tacos, and let me tell you, they were a flavor explosion! Loaded with juicy meat and bursting with flavor, each bite was a delight. The chips and salsa were an irresistible accompaniment, with a perfect balance of spice and freshness. And oh, I ended my meal with the flan! It was the epitome of perfection, a sweet finale to an already fantastic meal. If you're craving mouthwatering Mexican cuisine, Pepitas is a must-try. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

A kid meal, small queso, small whimpy salad, 1 Sprite, 1 iced tea $40!!! My granddaughter (she’s 10) and I wanted to try a place for lunch we hadn’t been to before. Wow did we pick the wrong place! Neither of us could finish our lunch it was so bad… and we were starving. Service was good and the place was nice but we were there for the food. We left hungry and $40 down. Hated to be so disappointed ☹️

Beyond disappointing. Went here for lunch a few weeks ago and I'm still irritated with my experience. We should have known when we walked in and saw the price of a margarita was $15! We sat down and looked through the menu for an a la carte but didn't see any. I asked the waiter if my son could just get an a la carte cheese quesadilla since he doesn't like rice and beans. He checked with a manager and came back and said yes that will be ok. We ordered what was some of the most expensive Mexican food I've ever seen. We received the food and it wasn't even good. Mediocre at best (some was really bad)! The kids quesadilla was made with a street taco tortilla and the adult quesadilla was made with a regular taco tortilla... Very small especially for the BIG price tag. Some of us ate what we could (what didn't resemble slop, I wish I would have gotten pictures. It was awful!) and then got the check. They charged us a full kids meal of around $7 for my son's tiny quesadilla. I asked about it since the waiter checked with the manager beforehand and ok'd it. The waiter said they can't charge just for the quesadilla, only the full meal. Why was that not said before, when I specifically asked?!? I asked for the manager and she just said it's full price. I told her no, we aren't paying full price when we didn't get the full meal. She then took the check and 'adjusted' it and brought it back. All of this was done in a very unprofessional manner with quite the attitude. All she did was reduce the kids meal by 20%... Such a joke. The food was BAD and the service was even worse! Don't waste your money!

Food was OK. Not the best I've had. The waitress got part of the order wrong and it took quite a while to get the correct items. And I dislike it when they automatically put lemon slices on the water cups.

Sat at the bar and had Matt as our bartender. He was great! Kept our beers full. Coldest beer in town and best bar service.
