Pepino's Fresh Mexican Grill

Very cheap food, and very worth the price. Not the best food ever, but $8 for a burrito and chips with a salsa bar? Thats crazy cheap. Ive gone back about 5 times now because of how affordable it is. Very consistent, never had anything bad. The margaritas are way too sweet though. Quick and casual place.

Pepino’s just did the catering for my daughter’s wedding. They came from Portland to Newberg and set everything up. It was SO GOOD! OMG so good! They were so easy to work with and so much value for the pricing too! So glad she and her new hubby chose them! Due to very specific diet restrictions/allergies I don’t often get to eat out and they made sure it was safe for everyone! Give them
A try you won’t regret it!

If you're attending a concert at the Hawthorne, you're more than likely to end up stopping in for lunch, or at least a margarita, before your show (sadly, they're usually not open late enough for post-concert grub). You're even likely to run into your favorite band's members here, if you're lucky.

That's not the only reason to like Pepino's, though: they make some damn fine Mexican food, quick, fresh, and some seriously sizeable portions. Heck, I ordered just three tacos, and they came with enough carne asada to fill an entire fourth taco (or more); I had to grab a fork to scoop it all together and finish it! Coupled with an excellent salsa bar, you can customize your order to your taste, and heat level.

Staff are friendly, and FAST: my order ended up sitting on the counter for a couple minutes, because I wasn't paying attention, and didn't think there was any way it could be ready yet. Interior decor is lively and colorful without being gaudy, and has always been clean and tidy, even when they get busy. The only thing confusing to me (at first) was where to toss my trash and tray, as there aren't any garbage cans in sight. However, there are signs that clarify that you just put everything in the bus bins, and the staff will take care of sorting the trash, recycling, and reclaiming the trays. Very convenient, and thoughtful of them!

You don't have to be going to a concert at the Hawthorne to need a reason to come to Pepino's; they're great enough to stand on their own, and be a destination unto themselves. Anyone looking for fast, fresh, delicious Mexican food, served by friendly staff in a fiesta-like atmosphere can't go wrong with this place! Very recommended!

Pepino’s is the place! I’m a 20+ year fan! I love all Mexican food and enjoy all varieties of the flavors I get from various food carts or restaurants. Then, there is Pepino’s. It’s the end game. I can’t tell you what about it I love so much…it may be the vibe…it’s just easy! It may be the food…well that’s the next #1…the salsas….there is no turning back once you try them! I have my favorite burrito! Sweet tequila. Sub whole wheat tortilla. Add chicken (if you feel like it), no rice (I just don’t like extra carbs for my own reasons), add lettuce, tomato and onion. A heavenly burrito with kindness!

Outside of being on the mist annoyingly indistinctly pretentious street (for no real reason whatsoever, to add), Pepinos is an awesome mexican cuisine spot. Good food, great staff, super friendly and they recognize their regulars with appreciation.

Great place for decent fast mexi food. Not upscale but not fast food. Just good eats. Just dont bother people watching. It IS Hawthorne after all. Nothing but crap humans there.

I love this establishment! I come frequently to acquire the el cheapo burrito (which is under $6!). Yummy and affordable— and it comes with chips and a salsa station! 🤌🤌 🌯
