    Gorditas de maiz

    We found this little jewel of restaurant The customer service was excellent We came here several times to have the gorditas also the menudo and burritos This place reminded me of my mom's food Please come and enjoy the real Mexican food

    Ummmm, YES! So delicious. I am not qualified to say authentic but it feels and tastes like what I would imagine to be authentic. We got four gorditas: nopales, chorizo and potato, barbacoa, chicharron and three tacos, barbacoa, nopales and menudo! So delicious! Maria, our server was so kind and welcoming. She explained everything in great detail and checked on us to make sure we had a great meal. A lot of pride and love goes into this food. It's clear! You should go there!

    Shredded beef quesadilla, menudo, barbacoa tacos, and barbacoa gorditas.

It was such a fun atmosphere, one of the radio stations was there along with a mariachi band. We got birria tacos, queso, al pastor quesadilla. So much food so much fun. My 1 year old grandson loved the band!

    When I first walked into Pepito's, I was honestly impressed. The atmosphere is beautiful, the decor…read moreis inviting, and I had really high hopes for the experience. Unfortunately, the customer service completely ruined it. I saw my waiter maybe four times during the entire 45 minutes I was there: when he brought my water, took my order, brought my CORRECT order, and then finally walked by 10-15 minutes after I had finished eating. I actually had to ask another employee to find him because I was sitting with the wrong food for about 10 minutes. In the end, I had to flag him down just to get my check and a to-go box. The food was decent. The street corn was absolutely delicious, but my tacos barely had any toppings. I ordered water and never received a single refill the entire time I was there. It's disappointing because the ambiance and first impression gave me such high expectations. The restaurant is beautiful, but the service was so poor that I unfortunately won't be returning.

    Almost as soon as I walked in, I realized I had been here before. Only it was a different…read morerestaurant last time. It uses to be a place called Pedros and Pedros was bad. Blue Iguana is good! They kept some of the original decor but the interior is dressed up and really nice. I especially like the light up tree that replaced the fountain in the old place. We called ahead for a table for 8 and were told it would be no problem. By the time we arrived 15 min later, it was a bit of a problem. Pretty decent wait but we sat on the patio and listened to live music. Other patrons were kind of jerks and insisted on lining up at the hostess stand and holding the door open while they waited. It obviously didn't get them in faster, made them grumpy, and let a lot of hot air into the restaurant. People, just wait with the door closed. They will come get you. I got a phone call when table was ready which was a little weird. Luckily I answered the call from the unknown number. It was taco tuesday and one of my party had seen it mentioned on Instagram. Server didn't call out the special, so we would not have gotten the discount without asking. Special was something like $2.50 per taco with no side. My family loves a bargain so they had a great time with the deal. Other reviews mention BOGO margaritas, but we were seated 2 minutes after 7 so we missed that deal. I can't speak to anyone else's food but I got empanadas, elotes, and I got my daughter's charro beans and tortilla soup. The empanadas were good but one of them had a sour oil smell. Not amazing, probably would only order again to share and not as my meal. The elotes were a little different than I am used to. It was 4 partial corn cobs and the corn was kind of tough. The main flavor was tajin, not a lot of cream or cheese. The charro beans were the same from the old pedros, and they were the ONLY thing I liked from Pedros. They are still AMAZING. I was also really REALLY impressed with the tortilla soup. It was clearly homemade and so full of veggies and flavor. I could make a meal out of the beans and the soup! The chips and salsa were really good and refilled quickly. Everyone at my table seemed to like what they got. Lots of clean plates and no complaints. I woudl definitely go again. Huge upgrade from previous ownership.

    DO NOT GO HERE! I went for cinco de mayo with 5 friends & it was the worst experience i've ever had…read morewith a mexican restaurant. The bartender working inside was insanely rude, she took 30min to even get our drinks. They told us it would be a 35-40min wait and waited for an hour and a half then went to see how much longer and the host gave us no answer. She just said "well we can't ask people to leave so idk how long". We ended up leaving and going somewhere else, but they called offering a table over 2 hours after we put our name down. Not to mention they had no drinks deals at all for cinco de mayo. I will never be back there again. Rude staff, expensive (and mediocre) drinks.
