I ordered online for Pepe's restaurant off of Kedzie on 63rd St in Chicago. You have to order online because when I called the number to order there was a prerecorded message and then it hung up. We got there at our pick-up time and the food wasn't ready. There was a sign that said do not park in the west lot, you will be towed. So I said excuse me to the lady at the take out window /counter. She was literally two feet from me. She ignored me and kept talking to someone in the kitchen. I said excuse me again and this time she turned to me. I asked her how long until our food would be ready because I thought I parked in the wrong lot. She said two minutes. After about five minutes, she packed our food up. There was a sign on the counter that said check your food before you leave, no exchanges or refunds. We ordered more than $77 dollars worth of food so I opened the bags and was checking the order when she came over and said I couldn't open the bag. I said the sign says to check your order. She said that was for regular custumers, not Uber drivers. No where did I say or have anything on me that said Uber. I brought my 88-year old mother with me and we were wearing normal clothes. There's nothing wrong with being an Uber driver but we are paying customers that don't deserve to get yelled at and told not to open our own food we payed for. I told her we're not Uber this is our food we payed for and she said, "Relax!" Too bad. The food was good but this was really bad customer service. I do not want to go back. There are plenty of other places that will treat you well to spend your money.

First time I come to this place and last time too. I ordered a dish of reheated stuffed chiles, they are not freshly made, heated in the microwave, even the egg was stiff, curious, the rice was very bad, reheated from the microwave as well. I hope my review is useful to someone and don't come and spend your money here $50 dollars for a dish reheated in the microwave ?. Disgust of place. Too bad I couldn't post a photo for you to see.

Well just came a site survey and discovering Englewood and heading out to this place before I do my errands had a craving for Pepe's. I've tried almost every Pepe's and they're not very consistent but I've heard about the swim in Chicago on this side on 63rd and decided to give it a try. Service was a bit slow in the beginning especially trying to hound the the server when trying to sit down the only bus was after I ordered my food and she was able to sit me down despite the long wait time was at least they delivered quickly the salsa and chips and the chicken taco since I didn't want to eat heavily. Ambiance is still behind in that 1980s Mexican drearyness. I usually go to the one in the south suburbs by Midlothian and by Tinley Park and that one is a bit a tentative with their service but since I was passing by here along the way I decided to give it a try it's three stars I can't give it more it wasn't bad in regards to the tacos but it wasn't the best tasting. This is a 1967 franchise and growing up watching their commercials on TV in Chicago. Although as a child I never tried it until I reached adulthood eating at a Pepe's restaurant and a lot has changed after 30 years. Need to improve on their ambiance since it's dated from the 1980's and they didn't try to change the style interior. Their service a little despite that the server delivered quickly by chicken dinner it took her a while to sit me down and to get my attention while I had the menu with me. Dessert was fried ice cream and it was OK. All they did was just put ice cream on top of a tortilla. Was expecting the whole tortilla to be covered and literally fried like some other Mexican restaurants nope just a bowl of tortilla treated like an ice cream cone or waffle cone and they put whip cream and chocolate syrup drizzle

December 24th I picked up 5 tacos and some rice I ate one of the tacos as drove home and started to feel sick so I called the restaurant and told I wanted a refund the young lady on the phone told me all they could do was remake the food , I said no my stomach is hurting and I just want to return the four tacos keep the money for the one I ate , she told me no I said let me talk to a manager she hung up on me and threw the phone and told her co- workers she hung up me ..... I want the owner to call me because this isn't the way you do business so anyone going to this place they don't give refunds I'm calling the BBB to report this I'm not eating your food if it made me sick.
