It is always a pleasure to visit Pepe's #4 ~ been visiting and picking up my Barbacoa here for at least the last 10 years ~ They have always been friendly and the All Meat Barbacoa has always been flavorful and the tortillas, so good. I get the corn, about 95% of the time. You can also get your Big Red plus avocados, salsa, and tamales here. My only recommendation is ~ do not go to late in the morning, if you do trying calling and placing an order. This place is known and so all their offerings are not always available due to demand. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do ~

Due to local OG’s falling off left me looking for a new spot. If you feel the same way, look no further. The crew at Pepe’s will get you right! Their barbacoa is out of this world!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It was worth the driving to Pepe’s Barbacoa from Poteet to Bandera Rd. Being so many Barbacoa places near Poteet I decided to try the smoked Barbacoa and was so delicious that I will definitely drive back to get more next month. Will make sure I’ll let family and friends about Pepe’s Barbacoa on bandera rd. I will definitely recommend Pepe’s Barbacoa. Service was friendly, fast and accurate.

It seems like a family business. Speaker outside with music. Screen door entry. Line inside and outside. Small establishment, but they are quick. Manager comes out and checks on everyone and asks the next person in line their order so they can already set it up so by the time they are to pay it's ready for the customer. Same applies to the others they ask ahead of time to speed things up which is a good thing. Inside establishment there is a big fan on a stand so I'm guessing the a/c doesn't circulate as much especially with the front door opening and closing cause of customers, however, while in line it didn't feel hot at all and outside it's around 85°+ today. 2 lbs Barbacoa and 1 large Salsa for about $41 not too bad compared to other locations. Parking spot is small but I was able to find several spots. This has to do with the speed of service as you'd just wait a minute or two and someone is leaving the lot already. So far so good. A good drive for me to go to but so far worth the drive even though several other barbacoa locations exist near me they just aren't consistent so looking forward to finding out how consistent they are. Oh it seems the type of location that you pick up only no dining in. Also picked up barbacoa around 10am and they still had plenty on a Sunday. I think their sign says open Saturday and Sunday but I'm not 100% on that as I had left before writing this review.

The barbacoa was damn good. Not greasy and just right. The tamales were okay. I think my were a little toasted too much. I liked the corn tortillas and flour. I will be back

Absolutely amazing. First time visiting I was able to try the smoked barbacoa (apparently only available the first Sunday of each month) and it’s fantastic!!! So happy I took the chance on this place and will be a returning customer moving forward. Service was fast and friendly and thrilled to see such high health scores displayed. Definitely worth the drive.

Cash only sign on door, yet they still charge tax. Ok, arguable. Went in sunday 2-23-25, two girls working counter. No hello, no how can we help you, no smile, nothing, ok it’s Sunday and they’re working. Again, arguable. First words out of their mouths, “did you call the order in or what’?. Ok, wow, no, first time here. “What did you want”? Id like a lb of bbcoa and a doz tamales… “We are out of tamales, hot sauce and tortillas”. Yeah, im good. Cant tell you if the food is good, didn’t really get a chance to try it. The place is dirty, people are sketchy and service is terrible. What’s not arguable is theres a place directly across the street that has everything and they at least say hello. Plenty of other bbcoa places in the area. Never again.
