Service was quick, kind, and helpful around 830pm. Tacos and tostadas were filling and yummy! We will be back.

It doesn't look like much but it tastes like great memories. I refuse to pass up a chance for pepper when in the state.
The red sauce will make you spend time on the bathroom so just a heads up. Also, it's totally worth the time spent!

We had just landed in Grand Forks and drove straight to The Pepper. It's a must and a ritual. (Review part 2) Landed in Fargo this afternoon and even though they have a Red Pepper down there, a guy just has to do the original. Always great food and service.
Review part 3 (You may notice a pattern here?) We landed in Fargo on the 4th only to find out that all Red Pepper locations were closed until Monday. After some heart palpitations and rapid breathing, we went and sat outside the door until Monday morning, waiting to get in. (Okay, we may have spent some time with family while we waited.) Needless to say, we went Monday ASAP. Then for some reason, I heard a salami grinder with taco meat, both sauces, both cheeses and all the traditional fixings calling my name as we left the lake on Tuesday. Lo and behold, we somehow ended up AGAIN at the Red Pepper South! They knocked it out of the park as they usually do. Then we found out that we were being helped by Bruce's Grandson. The Red Pepper has been a go to for great food since High School 40 plus years ago.
Let's just say, I was quick to forgive them for being closed in exchange for some great food.

What's not to love about Red Pepper? It's a staple of the community, and there's a reason for that. Service is fast and food is ready quickly, atmosphere is so famous that it becomes nearly nostalgic, and the food... wow. The only negative is that prices have been inching upwards over the years, and it's not quite as cheap as it used to be. If you've never been and need ideas, here you go. (It's a lot of food)
Whole everything grinder with white and red sauce, with 2 cheese tostadas with red and white sauce all warmed up.
Unmatched in the fast causal game in Grand Forks.
5/5.

How cheap can you make a taco? Find out here... no tomatoes, no onions, no jalapenos... just some weird meat, scant lettuce and a bunch of cheese on a paper thin taco shell. Basura!
Late-Night Gem: Original Red Pepper Delivers the Goods!After hearing about the Red Pepper from my coworker for years, I finally had the chance to experience the Original Red Pepper in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Let me tell you, it lived up to every bit of the hype!While it may not fit the traditional definition of fine dining, Original Red Pepper hits the spot after a night on the town. And the fact that they're open late night? Absolute lifesaver!Order up… Grinders & tostadas!So, if you find yourself in town of Grand Forks, ND after a night out, do yourself a favor and make a beeline for Original Red Pepper. You won't regret it!
