Peppers Mexican Grill & Cantina

We had an excellent Friday night dinner here right as rush hour was beginning. They seem to be run efficiently. We were served promptly with chips and salsa followed by drink orders, drinks, our entree orders and then piping hot entrees. The food was very good. I ordered unsweet tea but got sweet. It wasn’t overly sweet so I kept it. The side salad tomatoes were on the bland side. Otherwise the taco salad bowl was crispy, the seasoned steak was delicious, red and green sauces on the enchiladas were very good. We were not in a hurry but we were in and out in less than an hour. Exceeded our expectations for a Friday night. We will be back.

How is this place rated 4.5 stars? The food is a 3/10 at best and is very overpriced. Tacos 352 on 39th is exponentially better at a lower price. Do not waste your time here.

AMAZINGGG FOOD, we got the fajitas choropollo for 2 and the portion size is insane, we shared with 3 people but you could feed 4. You get tortillas, rice, lettuce, beans, tomato, and sour cream with it too. You also get free chips and salsa and they're the best I've ever had. We also got fried ice cream which kinda sucked unfortunately (outside is oatmeal, not crunchy, not much flavor) but the rest outweighed this.

I came here hoping for a good experience, but unfortunately the service was ruined by a very rude employee at the bar. From the moment we arrived, her attitude was dismissive and unprofessional. No matter what we asked, she was rude and made us feel unwelcome. Restaurants should be about good food and good hospitality, and this place failed on the service side. Definitely not coming back.

I love burritos and ate here for the first time many years ago. I ordered a burrito that was smothered in nacho cheese sauce unbenounced to me. So today I ordered burrito supreme which said it was covered in cheese. So I ordered that thinking it had melted cheddar. Again, it was covered, this time, in white cheese sauce. I despise cheese sauces, so don't think I will ever go back.
