The Pepper is a restaurant that provides a delightful dining experience. The food is generally good, with large portions and a variety of Mexican-inspired dishes, including the popular Burrito Bowl and Carnitas Chimichangas. Although some customers have expressed disappointment with specific items, like the Shrimp and Chorizo Quesadillas, which were once praised for their bold flavors and fresh ingredients, the restaurant still offers enjoyable options. The service remains exceptional, with friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff who enhance the experience. The restaurant serves refreshing beverages, such as cold beer and delicious margaritas, which customers love. While the quality of the food has had mixed reviews, many still appreciate the overall experience. Additionally, The Pepper features both inside and outside seating, making it a nice spot to enjoy a meal, especially during sunny days. Customers have noted some discomfort with the seating and temperature inside, but the reasonable prices and convenient downtown location make The Pepper a must-try destination.
