Pepper’s Cocina Mexicana & Tequila Bar

Went here for a group lunch. Service was nice and the food was good, but my order was completely wrong. My salad ended up having no lettuce and my drink was a completely different one than I ordered. Not all that impressed. Wouldn't go back unless the group made me... and then I'd double and triple check my order.

Steak California burrito was excellent. Service was on point and friendly. Mucho Gracias

We love this place. Been going since March 2025, and Lauren is top tier server. 5 star service, great food, great atmosphere.

I love this restaurant! The food is delicious, the margaritas are amazing, and the vibe with the music is a 10/10. Everyone is super friendly—from the chef to the servers, they’re always attentive and in a great mood. You can tell everything’s made with love. I always leave this place happy!

Authentic Mexican Experience – Best in Jacksonville!
If you're looking for top-tier Mexican cuisine in Jacksonville, this place is an absolute must-visit! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and vibrant energy that sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience.

The food is simply outstanding — every dish is bursting with flavor and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I highly recommend the tacos al pastor and the enchiladas verdes; both are rich in authentic spices and cooked to perfection. The guacamole is freshly made and served with perfectly crispy chips — a great way to start your meal.

The drinks are just as impressive. Their margaritas are some of the best I’ve ever had — balanced, refreshing, and made with top-shelf tequila. They also have a great selection of mezcals and creative cocktails that pair beautifully with the food.

What really sets this place apart, though, is the service. The staff is incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. You can tell they truly care about your experience, and they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.

Without a doubt, this is the best Mexican restaurant in Jacksonville. Whether you're out for a casual dinner or celebrating something special, this spot delivers every time.

Best Mexican good, best drinks, best service!!!!!

Really enjoyed our meal and our drinks!! Our waiter was very patient as we talked for a while before ordering. He kept checking on us to see if we were ready. We women just like to catch up, and we appreciated the casual, friendly atmosphere where we could!

Peppers has such a fun Latin vibe! The music is always on point, and it really sets the mood. The food is amazing—super flavorful and fresh. Great spot to chill, eat, and enjoy some good energy. Definitely recommend!

The Shrimp Fajitas were great! Excellent service as well!

Food was decent, went for lunch. $12 for a margarita was just ridiculous, not sure what kind of happy hour that is.

Modern and clean environment, delicious food, and great service.

I wouldn't recommend it. I ordered my meal and they brought me a completely different thing. Then I asked what it was and they acted like it was my fault. Don't plan on going back
