Heard about this place and how they were struggling so went to try and support local. Unfortunately we will not be going back. This was our first time and wow, to say we were disappointed is an understatement. Upon entering I would love to say that we were greeted, but we were in fact not, the girl actually seemed irritated that we walked in and that she had to interact with us. Again not ever having been there we were unsure of the ordering process but the girl assumed that we knew exactly what to do and she literally didn't say a word, so we had to explain to her that this was our first time and we needed a minute to look at the menu and some direction. To her benefit once we did explain that we were first-timers she did kind of open up a little bit more and was more helpful.Now to the food. I had the Pepe deluxe meal that came with a taco, cheese enchilada, beans, queso, and guacamole which was approx $12. My husband had the steak fajita dinner that had 2 tacos, rice and beans at approx $14 and both meals came with a little baggie of chips. Total cost was $30. I'll start with my husband's "steak" fajita tacos. The meat was literally gray, and my husband described it as worse than frozen in the bag meat you'd buy from the grocery store, he compared it to a TV dinner meat. My husband did not finish his food which is not a thing that happens lol. My food was literally not even recognizable as cheese enchiladas because everything was so smothered in chili sauce and they put my pinto beans in the same compartment as them so the bean juice and chili blended together and just disintegrated what was supposed to be enchiladas. Oh, that's another thing I should mention, everything is served as if you're ordering to go. The queso and guacamole both came in little tiny to go containers for condiments and the meal is served in a styrofoam to go container with the traditional 3 compartments, 1 large and two small compartments.I did not even eat my queso. Again this is unheard of. I love queso. I repeat I love queso and I did not eat what was given to me as queso. It definitely had a Velveeta and rotel-esque feel to it but honestly the cheese was not even as good as Velveeta. The texture was kind of gritty and separated and I'm sorry to say I just literally could not eat it because it tasted like milky tomatoes. Even the chips we received in our bags were stale. The guacamole was actually good, the rice was not. My taco, again not good. The ground beef in it literally had no flavor and seemed to just be existing. We took a few bites of each thing And that was all we could stomach. We threw everything away and then we left. If you're looking for fast and quick to-go chili cheese nachos or chili cheese anything this is the place for you, anything other than that I would not recommend, especially as a dining in experience. Editing* after reading reviews I probably wouldn't have visited because it seems any honest review is met with a defensive attitude by Kip who says he is the owner, so I'm sure I'll be getting a reply, but again I was trying to venture out and help support local business.

Pepe's has some really good fast food for cheap! Don't let the exterior scare you off if you haven't ever tried it. Polite and inviting staff inside.

Usually I like eating here cuz it's good food. This time I stood at the counter for about 10 to 15 minutes the girl behind the counter looked at me 2 to 3 times and never once attempted to take my order. I heard rumors that this place was going to close down (which I hope is just that, a rumor) don't know when but with this type of customer service I believe it won't take long. I have done food service for 31 years and I would never treat my customers the way I got treated today.Sorry kip, however, when your customer gets bad or no service, I believe the owner should know.

This was my first time coming here. Everything was great, from the food to the people, all around great. Only issue I had is I told the guy taking my order at least 5 times that I do not want any beans. I'm not allergic or anything just not a big fan of beans. I got my food and saw double rice on my plate so I was like awesome, no beans. I bite into my steak fajita taco and there is beans on it. I found it after taking a bite. Now I hate sending food back and I understand that food is made a certain way for the flavor profile, I work in the food industry, so I eat my taco. Not a bad taco it just had beans on it. No issues with the food it was delicious but I don't like beans. Lol

A favorite place amongst the locals. When you walk in you’re greeted with a smile. You always feel welcomed here. The food is delicious and at good prices. If you have never been here give it a try. You will not regret it!???

Stop here! It's a landmark for a good reason. Much better fast food than the bell at similar prices and the people are always great.

If you want a cookie cutter Mexican restaurant then go to one of the 30 plus.If on the other hand, you want something delicious. This is a great place, and you get a lot for an inexpensive price. I was there on opening day. That tells you my age. It is unique and has been around a lot longer than the others.
