Pepe's Mexican Restaurant & Market

Pepe’s Mexican Restaurant & Market is an absolute favorite! I’ve dined here for both breakfast and dinner and have been impressed every time. The food is delicious, the portions are generous, and the service is amazing. On top of that, the prices are unbelievably affordable—it’s hard to find this kind of quality and value anywhere else. Another great convenience is the attached ethnic supermarket, where you can grab all your grocery needs right after your meal. Highly recommend!

Cheese was pretty good but I spent over twenty dollars on queso and chips, and it wasn't even a lot.So very high pricing.

Food was FRESH tasting even towards the end of the night. Tamales are and STILL are my favorite! Yummm. The chips, fajitas, burrito, taco hit the spot of true Mexican flavors. We have leftovers for breakfast. Seriously give them a try, you won’t be disappointed! 10 /10 xo

It was the worse food ever. The nacho chips were burnt beyond edible, the meat was so tough and dry you couldn't eat it. Why would they serve someone burnt chips and old meat. This was a simple Nacho order and American could make.

Best REAL Mexican food in Ocala
Great menu and all authentic. Down home old Mexico feel and wonderful staff. And the prices are so reasonable.

Very nice staff, however I must say that I was very disappointed with the lack of flavors on everything we ordered! I know Mexican Food and unfortunately when you get a taco de lengua completely flavorless there’s no excuse. Rice was very dry and hard and beans were very bland too. Please take this as a feedback and check your recipes because to call yourself real Mexican food is a big responsibility and this isn’t it!

The queso with the chorizo added was the best thing we had. The Flan tasted good but was a bit overcooked.
the chile rellano was soggy, the cheese enchilada was decent, and the pork tamale was quite good. The servers were very nice, and there is a market attached if you need groceries also.

4.4 is the current rating at the time of this review.

Be careful you don’t drive past, you’d miss out on some authentic Mexican food and store. Staff are friendly and are bilingual. Food tasted really good, they do serve complimentary chips and salsa.

The establishment is clean. To get to the restaurant you walk into the store and right away you’re surrounded by everything Mexican. Merch hanging from the ceiling even! You walk through to the corner and you see the entryway into the small restaurant, tables and booths.

I would definitely 💯 come back here again.

Great food. Eat here at least once a week and have yet to be disappointed. Great Pastor tostados and nachos!

The food here was some of the best Mexican food I have had. They have many authentic dishes and are all cooked to perfection. The staff are all kind and friendly. There is also a supermarket attached with their own bakery as well to get some fresh deserts, bread and tortillas.
