Review Pepe's Mexican Jindalee

Manish Moothedath

I have always done takeout from this restaurant but never dine in. It was a totally awesome experience today dine in with family. Lovely staff and explained the entrees and mains patiently to us. Best Mexican I have tried in Australia!!

Honestly 10 out of 10 for the Guac - made it live in front of me and that was a great experience and flavour! Rating was purely based of the Guac. The Other meals were okay but didn’t stand out as the Guac. Overall great dinner experience.

Yummmm💖 Big, delicious meals. We are both vegetarian and loved it. The Mexican soda was so yummy! We had to try the deserts... We saw previously in a review the tres leche was the best so we had that and the dessert nachos and actually our fav was the dessert nachos! You must try the dessert nachos if you are a chocolate lover 🥰 We will be back again! Thanks for the friendly service. Only suggestion is if you want entrees and mains separate make sure you tell the waitress. We got both mains and entrees at same time but we didn't mind too much since we were hungry.

Pepe's is a local Mexican restaurant in Jindalee. Surprisingly for a Tuesday night it was very busy and it was definitely understaffed The food was worth waiting for. The portion size is quite large. I had fish tacos and they were really good and seems to be the only place that does good fish tacos around the area. My wife had the chicken nachos and the serving size was large enough to share. The chicken was flavoured nicely and it's quite addictive. Pepe's also offers some unique drink options with a jug of punch giving out about 5 glasses between the two of us, more than enough to satisfy thirst

Truly authentic Mexican food here. Love the fish taco and Fatijas, very tasty. Dessert also very good. Churros was crispy and not oily. Tres Leches well balance not too sweet.

David Izatt

A really nice dinner for two. The food was plentiful and tasty. Service was a little slow, but it didn't worry us at all, and the restaurant was really busy, including a lot of delivery. I would like my beef spicier, but I think that is the Mexican way. Will definitely go again. Thanks!

Good food & huge serving portions. Super friendly and nice atmosphere. Muchas Gracias

Beck Goldsworthy

Amazing food, friendly service... seafood burrito to die for! Thanks!

We have been coming here for just on 12 months now, and the meals have been getting progressively worse. Tonight was the worst. The nachos was basically a bowl of slops(wish I’d taken a photo) and the chicken avocado salad was a very poor tossed salad topped with a dollop of shredded chicken. Definitely not worth the $90.00. Definitely won’t be going back as the value for money is pathetic.

Bellsa

This places wasn’t bad. Food was prompt. Had a chicken burrito, it was good. But, oh my god, why do you only serve moscato sparking wine??? Way to sweet. Get some bubbles and I might be back.

I have to say that I was very excited to come to Pepe’s at Jindalee since having fantastic experiences at Pepe’s Newmarket. However, I was disappointed with the quality of the food. At Newmarket they would prepare the guacamole at your table and ask you what you wanted in it and at jindalee it was served to our table but very average. Also, the pico de Gallo was not up to standard. I have had it before and it was served blended chunky like a sauce and all I got was jalapeños onion and tomato in a bowl. Service was fantastic although atmosphere and food quality was a let down. I recommend heading over to Newmarket branch as it is FANTASTIC!!!!

Consistantly delicious tasty modernised mexican. Dishes are filling and delicious. Simple decor but clean and friendly. I love enchilladas with rice & refried beans with guacamole & sour cream, but the nachos, tacos, buritos etc are all good. We miss our local Pepes which closed down at Coorparoo many years ago.

Jessica Walton

Been here quite a few times now and have loved it every time! The food is really delicious and filling, on the top side of your penny for Jindalee but quite a nice and homey restaurant for a family dinner. Accomodating for vegans too with all the bean options! I had the bean burrito and it was great

Foodaholic

Horrible horrible food. The service was atrocious and didn't enjoy anything. My vegetarian friends couldn't stomach the food. It was filled with red bean paste and nothing else. Very upsetting to order such bland food. :(

Ambika Agarwal

Highly disappointing. Went there for the first time and was a very bad experience. No service at all, had to ask for cutlery after the food was served, no salt and pepper on the table, which you can see even in a tiny restaurant elsewhere. Nobody turned up to ask if we need anything else as a curtsy after the food was served. We were sitting in the outdoor area and it felt like people working there either don't care or they forgot that they had guests outside. The food was absolutely bland and we had to leave most of it untouched and when we get the bill - God bless us - Never going back again - not recommended at all.

Vivek Muthukrishnan

Stomach full!!! A good variety in the menu. Had chilli fries for entrée & Enchilada chicken single for main It was pretty good with moderate spice in it. Service was great. Might come back and try something else.

DianaW

Was very impressed by the quality of the food & freshness of the ingredients. Mexican food is simple & this was, but done well & packing in the flavour. The baramundi in the fish tacos was blackened on the outside & served in huge tasty morsels with the salad, was just delicious. Would have to say it wasn't the most authentic Mexican around town & the sauces were definitely not hot ( had to order extra hot sauce & jalapenos) but I would have to say they were some of the best fish tacos I have had for a while. Also thought the Mexican salad was colorful & with the addition of the coriander & apple hit all the right buttons for me, also have to commend the waitress she was so sweet.

Alex Ate Too Much Food

If I want Mexican, I'm going here. Massive plates, and it's always super yummy. They do get busy on the weekends, but that chicken enchilada is worrrrrrth it!

Amanda A

This is the first time I've ever written a review on a restaurant but I feel so adamant about telling people to AVOID PEPE'S. I've been a loyal Pepe's customer for years. However on my last visit, my sister got her usual chicken & avocado salad and we saw it had been downsized into cereal sized bowl... It was seriously the size of a side salad. And it was $15. I asked the waitress very nicely if this was now the new size or something temporary, and she was so passive aggressive. She completely shrugged it off and said she didn't realise that it had changed size, etc. To top it off, my burrito was supposed to come out with a side of beans + rice and all it came out with was a side of microwavable rice and it was $22?!!? After coming to Pepe's for years, I can safely say that after this experience, I will never be back. Do yourself a favour & go to Dos Amigos at Taringa instead.

S. Brown

As an avid eater of Mexican food, Pepes is my go to takeaway burrito eatery. I cannot match their burritos anywhere! I'm not a fan of chucking everything in the tortilla and pepes keeps the beans and rice etc separate to the meat filled tortilla in a beautiful takeaway plastic container...this meal is the perfect comforter for lonely single Saturday nights :')

Kimberley Stewart

Went to Pepe's last weekend. We ordered an entree and mains and patiently waited as it seemed a little crowded for a Sunday, but by no means busy. Ended up waiting 30 minutes for our entree. That would've been tolerable if not for the family who were seated and ordered after us getting there mains before us. We waited probably 15 minutes after our entree and still no mains in sight. Not to mention the cook was happily chatting away with some friends standing outside the kitchen. We obviously decided to leave and just pay for the overpriced entree. The waitress could care less we were leaving and was hardly apologetic. Very unimpressed with Pepe's service.

Lisa

Appalling!. This has got to be the worst Mexican food I have ever tried. Way too rich and stodgy, cheap ingredients, ridiculously overpriced and altogether unauthentic. I will never go back. A meal at Guzman and Gomez is about half the price and a million times better. I just can't fathom how this place stays in business...

Ashleigh Edwards

To the reviewers above who said this is the best mexican you've ever had if you are not somehow affiliated with this restaurant then I feel sorry for you! WORST mexican food!!! We had the nachos and it was like we were eating jarred taco sauce poured over beef that was cooked in December smothered in a disgustingly thick layer of cheese. We also had a soft chicken taco which was just as bad if not worse. Iceberg lettuce, home brand cheese and watery shredded chicken served on a soggy burrito is not mexican food. There was no freshness or vibrancy that one associates with good mexican in either of the dishes. Will not be back and definitely do not recommend!

Brissyfoodiegirl

The food is tasty ... Not worth the price tag though... Too expensive for pretty average / suburban restaurant ... Would be thrilled if meals were between $15-20 but for $28 for a lacklustre steak of $27.90 for two enchiladas I think they are really pushing it

MumsLasagna

Best Mexican. I dont understand all the fuss over guzmans, mad mex, rosa mexicana etc... This place is always so good! Love the shredded beef burrito and the nachos. The only place that actually does a proper nachos!!

Rach

Don't bother. Service is terrible, staff don't know what they're doing. Main meals can out before my kids meal, so my 2 year old was hungry and complaining. The seafood burrito has 3 prawns and you'll be lucky if there is anything else. I paid $27 for a plate of beans, rice, lettuce and three prawns.

Kittypie2008

Ripping people off with margaritas that have no alcohol!. I've been coming here for years and have always found the food to be delicious and cheap. The mains here are all really great, generous portions and the service is really fast. I rarely have room for desert since the mains are so filling, but if you do have room for desert, I absolutely recommend the churros that come with hot chocolate fudge sauce! My only complaint about this place is that the frozen cocktails never seem to have any actual alcohol in them. The margaritas and strawberry daiquiris taste good, but without the alcohol they are more or less a very expensive slurpee. A few years ago the margaritas used to actually have alcohol in them but whoever manages the place now seems to be on the cheap side. *Edit - went there again recently and there was absolutely NO alcohol in the margaritas - AGAIN. After I posted this review there had been alcohol in the Margaritas - only for a short time though - I went there (in October I think) there was nothing. So we paid $25 for a slurpee AGAIN. Thanks for that, the manager is clearly a liar. Take my advice and never order the margaritas.

Disappointing. I had visited Pepe's a number of times over the years, but had sadly moved from the area. I would always say, I could go for Pepe's delicious food. However 2 years later I've finally made it back here. The place has not changed a bit. And this is a problem. The decor is old and outdated,kind of stuck in a time warp. It did not appear to be tidy, Certainly not the same warm friendly staff of old. I had prayed at this point the food was still the same great food I had remembered, but again no. very disapointed. The portion size was huge, but the quality wasn't there,. Tasted like microwaved food. Not sure if there are new owners or not, but something here is seriously wrong, like something you might see on the tv show, Kitchen Nightmares. I hope this restaurant can rediscover what once made this place great. Until then I would avoid.

James Pinnell

Average. This place really exists as part of the desolate 90s of Mexican in Brisbane. Very expensive, overcooked, showered and bulked up with cheap lettuce and rice. Unfortunately its the only Mexican place for miles which keeps itself stocked. Its really a shame they haven't updated their menus, made their pricing competitive or tried to focus more on fresh authentic Mexican rather than bloated, soggy or rock hard tortillas. The pluses? They make great taquitos and guac.

Bon

Worst mexican.... I can't fathom the good reviews on here; I know most Aussie-based Mexican isn't grand, but this place takes the cake. It would have to be the worst Mexican I've yet been subjected to, and that's including Montezuma's. I make better Mexican food from packet-mixes at home. That said, I have to differentiate between authentic Mexican, and "aussie Mexican", which it seems plenty of people prefer. This place is definitely the latter; whether you think it's good or not, it is NOT remotely authentic. We tried a voucher online in the hope of treating two American friends out to a cuisine they're more used to; everyone at the table was astounded at the lack of authenticity (it's pronounced "kay-so", not "quezzo"... augh!) and the generally terrible food standards (fajita filling burnt to the point of being jerky-like in chewiness). Despite the discount voucher none of us left feeling like we got anywhere remotely close to our money's worth; ice-creams from the 7-eleven down the road were the evening's highlight. Don't do it to yourself. Go get a burrito at your nearest GyG instead for a fraction of the price, or head to Fiesta Ole in the city for the real authentic Mexican experience.

Croffty

Terrible!!. Terrible food, terrible service, just terrible!! No idea where the people who praise this restaurant are comparing it to, but they need to get out more! By far the worst Mexican I've ever eaten, in Brisbane, Australia & the world!! The prices are EXTORTIONATE - stupidly expensive for crap Mexican. The food is BLAND - a packet mix has more flavour, the portions are TINY - entrees & 4 mains left the 4 of us hungry, the staff are USELESS - slow, rude & quick to blame "lack of staff" despite the small restaurant being less than half full. And unsurprisingly when you complain you are told to write a review on here - SO THEY CAN VOTE IT DOWN AS "UNHELPFUL". Pathetic, we'll never be back.

Preet Singh

Best Mexican!!. Love this place! fantastic service, great prices and amazing mexican food! what more could you want. Try the chocolate nachos.. they are to die for :)

Krystle Lee

Good portions and food. One of my favourite Mexican restaurants that I've been to. Serving sizes are huge too, I could have had an entire leftover meal to myself.

Juliejules2013

Good sized tasty meals!!!!. A couple of our friends mentioned they regularly come here on Tuesday nights for a $15 Meal & Corona special and we kept saying we'll have to try it so finally took the plunge tonight. Have to say the meals are quite generous in size and so delicious. We had a chilli con queso dip which was one of the nicest dips I've ever tried, then we had a shredded beef chimichanga & a chilli con carne nachos, my hubby and I ended up sharing both meals and even though we were full about half way through it was too good to stop. It's nice to eat chilli con carne with real chunks of beef in it, have had it at other places and tends to be a real lack of beef taste but this one was spicy but not too spicy, full of mince, beef chunks and beans, definitely going back for more. We agreed the prices are a bit more compared to some Mexican places but well worth the taste and serving size. You could share an entree & main and be full. Also recommend the Mexican punch drink that they apparently make on site, fruity and delicious. See you again soon Pepes.

David Hanlin

A great causal family Mexican place to eat.. Really fresh and healthy serve sizes to suit the budget

KricePy

Good Mexican not so great service. I found the food good. It gets generally crowded on a weekend. Service is not that great. I like the desert menu. It is not a cheap restaurant either.

Foodlover

This place has appalling service. Approached the counter to not even be greeted, ask for a table for 2 and was handed menu's at the counter so we could seat ourselves. We looked at the menu's and waited 20 mins without being served. We noticed another table had to ask at the counter to place their order. We ended up leaving due to waiting and lack of service. The place had 2 waitresses working and only 5 tables full and 3 of those tables had finished their meals. Service here really needs attention if you are charging the price you do for meals - not the cheapest!

Ad_alison

Average meal. Peppes last night and am quite disappointed. Meals were ok (I'd give them 4/10) but service and atmosphere were terrible. As a table of 10 our meals were served one or two at a time over a period of 15 minutes. By the time the last meals was served, the first had gone cold. We were delivered the wrong orders twice. When ordering wine we were told that 2 of the 3 bottles of red wine were unavailable because of a busy lunch session. Surely someone could go out after their lunch period and buy some more? The atmosphere is poor - the mexican theme where we were sitting in a breezeway consisted of 2 "sombreros" hanging on the wall. No table arrangements - not even a table cloth to make it a little bit Mexican. Make this one of your last choices for Mexican in the suburbs.

Appaling. My partner & I went here on Saturday night for dinner. We got there early & the place was half empty. As the glasses of sangria were $5.50 each & a jug $22, we opted for the jug as we both intended to have 2 drinks each - the jug yielded about 1.25 drinks each (and yes, the glasses we received were the same size as the individual drinks). Not very good sangria either, and definitely not a great start to the evening. We ordered beef fajitas for two, and the meal we received was the standard size fajitas you would expect for a single diner! To add insult to injury, the beef was tough & completely devoid of sauce & flavour - the whole reason for ordering the dish! When the waitress clearing the table beside us dropped a piece of cutlery & proceeded to kick it along the ground past us, we decided it was time to leave. We then stood at the counter waiting to pay (and complain) for around 5 minutes, during which time 4 employees looked right at us but not one even bothered to acknowledge us with a "won't be a moment". When we were finally served, we asked for the manager to be told there wasn't one there that evening & we should write a review on Urbanspoon (which obviously I'm doing now!). We then told the girl all of the above, at which point we were advised they were short staffed (remembering that the place was half empty and our complaint was not with the speed, but with the quality), and we were offered the sangria for free, and she undercharged us $10 for the fajitas. When my partner asked for a card so he could phone the manager to express his concerns there was nothing available so the shop number was scrawled on an order pad. This experience has ensured we will never eat at this, or any other Pepes, again.

Sare Profke

YUM!. Went to Pepe's and had fantastic service! The food is great and so is the service! But i have to say its great to see alternative employees with tattoos and piercings.. this is one of the main reasons i go there.. the hot blondie waitress and red head cook are smoking! thanks for the food and eye candy pepes!

Sarah_j

So unhappy with the attitude, lack of service & disorganization, we didn't even stay to eat. A cold night in Brisbane, with a reservation, were seated outside & told that was all we could get. I would not recommend coming here if you expect service, as for the food, we didn't get that far, so can't comment. I will not be coming here again.

Vik Allen

Love Pepe's Jindalee! Great.... Love Pepe's Jindalee! Great food and a fun range of beverages! The trio of dips are awesome and like a meal in themselves. Main servings are quite large and it is a challenge to finish them. I always end up taking some home. It is important to pace yourself with your main to make sure you leave room for Chocolate Nachos! This is the most indulgent dessert around and a great one to share for those who perhaps over did it with their mains! I love heading to Pepe's for a a meal that I know will be tasty and filling. I have heard rumours of fish tacos being added to the menu and am looking forward to trying these out!

Sandy Leah

Best Mexican restaurant around, always busy on the weekends. Filling food, great service, great atmosphere. Fajitas are amazing. Would recommend to anyone. 10 out of 10 :)

Maria Eugenia Rossotti

Still amazing.... I was surprised to read negative reviews on here? I have been going to Pepes for about 4 years, and had not been in about 6 months because we moved to the Northside. I went last night and as always the food was GREAT! As stated below I don't think the owners changed? I am sure I saw the same ppl running it? But for me, it is still my favourite Mexican in Brisbane! It seems Brisbane is getting flooded with tex mex and fast mexican all with such different styles but if you haven't tried Pepes you should! Delish!

Kathy Reed

Oh dear. This place appears to be under new management and all the great specials have gone along with the service. Unfortunately, for the new owners, your customers will also go unless they pick up their game!!

Getinmybelly.

Disappointed. Went here for dinner on a Saturday night and unfortunately was a little disappointed. Having dined her a couple of times before I thought I was on a safe bet but was let down with the quality of food and the over all experience. I ordered the chicken enchiladas - they were tasty "enough" but there was not very much filling and the meal was drowned in sauce - it was a ridiculous amount. Kids meals were ordinary (that is to be expected) and when we asked for tomato sauce for the nuggets (one came out with sauce, the other they had forgotten to put the sauce on the plate) they must of forgot and never bought it out. For the price we paid I would rather buy the ingredients in a el paso pack from woollies and make it myself - it pretty much tasted the same and would be $80 cheaper.

Deemouse

I thought the place was understaffed, to begin with, but I wasn't so sure by the end of our meal. Maybe we had just arrived while 50% of them were on their break. Food was pricey, not good value. One question, who sells Nachos without guacamole included? Included sour cream (when the chilli wasn't hot enough to warrant it), but actually tried to sell the guacamole as an extra!! No, food took too long to be served (20 mins is excessive for something that has to be ladled over corn chips), and when it arrived, was not spicy and was missing standard accompaniments. Won't be going back.

Will Flage- Yeats

Pretty much the worst restaurant I have ever been to. Me and my partner decided to go for a quick dinner after her long day at work as a little date before we had to be some where. We sat down took them 15 mins to take our food order because the staff was just standing around talking and doing nothing. We waited for another 45 mins for our food after it hadn't come I went up to the counter to ask how much longer the food was and because we had somewhere to be they informed me another 20 mins or so. I just paid for our drinks an left. Didn't get to try the food because of how slow and incompetent the staff there is. Well done I honestly will never ever be eating at this or any other of the Pepe's chain. Give yourself a huge pat on the back. Two thumbs up

Suburban Thug Wife

Sorry Pepe's, you've done your dash with us. Repeated attempts to give you guys another chance failed again last night. We were a table of 7 that had to continually prompt the lack lustre staff for drinks orders (30mins after being seated), mains orders and when the drink orders were finally taken - add another 15mins and prompting to receive them. Food, meh, tasted like what i make at home - how boring, that's why you go out to eat. There's clearly no consistent management or they would see that their business success lies with reliable, quality, friendly staff - not the Bored, uninterested, untrained ones they keep hiring year after year. To top it off, the register girl added the bill only once despite us asking if it was correct, twice - she was not at all interested in adding it again for us when we were clearly over charged. Too hard to argue, see you guys never! You suck.

Dee T

My favourite mexican restaurant in Brisbane! My regular eat out venue. We love the chicken fajitas and encilladas, they are very addictive

Andrea

Fantastic!. Always eat there as the food is awesome and the service very friendly. Would highly recommend the seafood...

Aaron H

Below average. My partner and I went to Pepe's on the weekend for dinner. The first thing we noticed after being seated was it took a good 15-20 minutes to get any service, so we were sitting at our table without anything to drink or eat. The pre-mix cocktail we ordered tasted nothing like the real thing and wasn't very enjoyable, and when we ordered a coke they simply handed over a glass and a can and expected us to pour it ourselves. For the prices I expected at least some sort of service. For our entree we decided to share a plate of Nachos. Again, the service wasn't up to scratch when they arrived. The plate of nachos was brought out and when we requested plates, instead of giving us a plate each the server simply placed 2 plates on the table and expected us to help ourselves. While these service issues are nit-picking, it's the small things like this which determine if the service is good or bad at a full-service restaurant. One other thing is the crazy price discrepancies between the take-away menu and the dine-in menu. The Fajitas on the take-away menu are $25, but dine-in they're $35. I could imagine a few dollars difference for the extra "service", but $10 is a bit rich. We found the prices very over-priced compared to other better mexican restaurants (Dos Amigos at Taringa comes to mind here), with much poorer service. One good thing was the food was relatively fast to come out once the order was placed, it's just the initial ordering and service issues which we found to be the biggest issue. It almost seemed they had these issues because they didn't have enough staff on. If they hired another one or two staff I'm sure this would be a nice little restaurant.

Gary M

Better than most. Our experiences with Pepe's has been both great, and pretty dismal. Service wise, we've been left waiting for an hour before we get our meal, and then we get it within 10 minutes. Generally, it leans towards the latter. The menu hasn't changed a great deal over the past few years, but the food is consistent. Prices are a little expensive when added together, but overall it's worth it compared to local competitors. My only gripe is the 'business card draw' My card's been visible for over 18 months now. I'm not sure if they're ever refreshed! That doesn't change the taste of the food though!

Kym Easten

I had only ever had takeaway from Pepes and all I can say is it's too expensive for why it is. However it does taste good, just not so much so to justify the price. However I have now eaten in there and the table service is terrible, the staff aren't rude they just don't know what good service should be. And I agree with other reviewers, filling the plate with too much rice does not mean they are good sized servings

Bron

Great Family Restaurant. We all loved this authentic and tasty Mexican experience (even the fussy members of the family had empty plates!).

Kay

Great Food. I have been going to Pepes for years now the service is always great there and the food is PRIMO although Lisa is my favorite cook, so i always ask if she is on when i either eat in or take out. Yummo i love there food. Great Stuff

Meeces

Bargain!. Heading back for $15 burrito's and sangria on Tuesday - excellent value and very tasty!

Steph

Amazing!. I completely disagree with the negative comments below. The staff are fabulous and food is excellent. I am definitely coming back!

Absolute rip off. This mexican place should be awesome judging by their prices. Wasn't busy in restaurant, asked for table for 2, was handed menus and pointed in direction. Order water and a coke, water was warm and glasses were put on table still stacked just left there. Given empty glass (no ice) and CAN OF COKE!! Not even poured by staff. After ordering and food brought at 2 different times, we were not spoken to by staff and plates not cleared. Girls smiled etc but didn't interact and had no idea about service. Food was horrible, I ordered chicken quesadilla expecting more the the ONE folded over tortilla. Not crispy, flavourless shredded chicken, sauce all over top and mushy placed on top of rice and refried beans. I LOVE Mexican food and I have obviously been spoilt, but I have got 20 times better food at Tex Mex cafe in the Valley more than half the price. Pepe's charged for hot sauce!! Poor service, even worse food, NOT WORTH the money, some reviewers say portion size is large.. reheated rice and beans dont count! Dont bother with Pepe's, find an alternate or for the price cook it yourself, it's Mexican food not rocket science. I have never reviewed a restaurant, but felt soo strongly dissappointed with this experience that I just had to put it out there. I will never ever go back there - what a joke.

We used to love Pepe's. We have given them 3 chances over the last 18 months and unfortunately, it's a case of 3rd time unlucky. We have experienced a missing meal on one occasion and "hot on top, cold in the middle" on two other visits - disappointing. Not to mention the poor service we've encountered. The menu is good, nothing too spectacular, though the portions are satisfying. Pepe's has potential but room for improvement - however we will not be returning.

Simon

Just another.... Boring Mexican restaurant. Ok, so the food is somewhat tasty... but that's what Mexican is! However, Pepe's for the most part seems uninspired and ... stodgy. The menu is the same cliched blargh that most Australians come to expect from a Mexican joint... Not to mention you play a gamble as to whether your food will come to you hot or not. I've had a 1/3 "cold" meal rate... So i'm not impressed. Not to mention most of their food appears (both to eye and tongue) to be reheated. I don't want to guess as to the freshness of ANYTHING there. Pepe's only saving grace is the fact that I suffer the occasional craving for generic Mexican takeout.

Gab

Great dining for family!. We have been to Pepe's a few times now and absolutely enjoyed our experience! Food and service couldn't have been better.We always leave feeling completely full! You definitely get what you pay for! My kids love it.

Westie Foodie

Absolutely horrible service. ignored our table all night and we had to consistently prompt them to get service. entree was ok, mains were burnt and dessert took too long to come. will not be returning.

Paul Kearnan

I love the chicken fried buritto, unfortunately it is burnt about 9 out of 10 times and when I complained after the third time they promised a voucher to be sent but nothing came. Hope the chefs wake up because it could be good but right now, fail. I should mention that the service is quite good and very friendly.

Xdf

Good, convenient eats. Pretty nice decor. Serving sizes left us both feeling totally stuffed. Staff were very friendly. Convenient location too (right near DFO and a bunch of other places).

Alex Nelson

Fantastic. The food was awesome, the service was great, it was child friendly and it was not expensive. We're all a bit too full, but will definitely be going back there.
