Reviews Red Pepper Taqueria Brookhaven

This place is fantastic - if you know what to order. That applies to both food and drinks. The nachos are fabulous - I usually get them with steak which is flavorful and surprisingly good quality. Be aware that there is a disparity in the the meat quality between the Happy Hour version and the full-priced version. The chicken taquitos are also yummy. Those 2 items are my go-tos because the portions here are HUGE. Admittedly, I've never made it out of the appetizer category of the menu! I will say that this place plays AWESOME music. It's a really nice mix of salsa, bachata, reggaeton, etc. It will get your feet tappin'. The bar is massive - basically a huge square - so plan on ordering a reserve drink in advance during the busy times when bar service can be a bit slow. On the flip side, the bartenders are super nice. I pop in once every month or two and they still manage to recognize my face. Half the restaurant is inside and the outdoor half is designated by garage doors that roll up. So, technically, half the bar is inside and half is outside as well. The Brookhaven location also shows all the UFC fights. I've not attended one of those here but I've walked by at night during the events and it's usually packed. It's a solid go-to when you're looking to itch a Mexican food scratch or if you're a fan of tequila - especially if you're looking for a happy hour hangout.

Should have taken pics of the calamari before we crushed it but it was really goodm sauce was spicy. Ordered the nachos Ole w chicken. Also ate the whole order and skinny margarita 🔥
