TL;DR: This place was literally some of the best Mexican Quizine I've eaten in months, and matched my needs and desires EXACTLY! However... Careful of your sleeves. The grease game on these guys is real!
🥳 The seating is tight and sociable!
😈 The food is habitually bigger than expected, and always a great challenge!
🐄 The meat is fresh as hell!!
🙇 The staff are friendly, and constantly move amongst the eaters cleaning the tables and talking to regulars!! (GREAT PEOPLE)
😋 The food is soaked in gallons of grease! (GOOD, NOT A JOKE, I LIKE THIS A LOT)
ALL IN ALL, TOP LOCATION IN THE AREA!
HEAVILY RECCOMENDED!
I ordered a quesadilla, expecting a small snack like some other places. What I GOT was a MASSIVE, GREASY, CHEESY, and LUXURY-MODEL-HEARTBURN-INDUCING FEAST! The thing was so greasy that when I picked it up the juices drizzled down my fingers and stained my sleeves. AMAZING! 🥰 EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED AT THAT MOMENT!
About five other hungry cyclists and I rode into town and one of us spotted Don Pepe's and said it was the best place he'd eaten at in a long time last time he'd visited. The bike parking was GREAT! Right by the entrance and hidden enough that casual thieves wouldn't spot it from the street. The staff seemed very accepting of our hot-day biking aromas and undesirable mugs, and they fed us like kings.
My friend got tacos, expecting two like street vendors, but got FOUR jam-packed good ones fresh from the grill!
If you want lots of room, peace and quiet, no heartburn, and want to wear long-sleeved expencive white collared shirts, this place might change your mind... but the grease might soil your shirt. Personally I think it's worth it.
The pricing wasn't half bad either in my opinion.
Go there it's good!!
If this review helped you out or at least made you smile, give it a like! Thanks!
To management:
You are doing alllll the right things. Never change! A band of hapless cyclists heading downtown from the river thanks you! (And one of them at least will go out of his way to return many times!) Thanks for reading!
Great place, the el pastor is so juicy. I get cheese on my tacos and they accidentally forgot it, I don’t blame them it was so packed it’s hard to add it. So I went up to the order counter asking for a cup of cheese. The offered to give 2 new free tacos, I declined because it was unnecessary but a very kind gesture. But then they gave me a horchata, as a apology (horchata was great). And yes I got my cheese
I don’t know why I haven’t heard more about this place. Top notch. Seasoned perfectly. Love this place. Will routinely return!
Always good authentic Mexican food. Well priced for what you get. Shrimp taco = amazing.
