About The Pepper

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.

this is not a Mexican restaurant AT ALL. 3rd and last time eating here. Owners need to take a class in actual Mexican cuisine and how to cook and serve it.
Burritos were served, masqueriding as enchiladas. Flying by the seat of their pants in all areas here. I can't believe people still go here. Blah and expensive.

the birria tacos sadly disappointing. I ordered no onions and got onions and no side sauce but the shell and everything doesn't even compare to the new El Dorado. Glen is still awesome but this place is not what it was. Even the premixed margaritas are better at El Dorado then the fresh ones here. my husband was disappointed that the previous purple sauce that was used on burritos in the past wasn't being used and said it was just falling flat compared to how the pepper use to...read full review
