    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.

    Everything was absolutely amazing food and service. The menudo was out of this world. Amazing mother daughter duo running the place.

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.

A family friend had eaten there so a couple of my family members wanted to try it out. It had okay but not amazing reviews so I was a bit skeptical, but I figured why not give it a go. Overall we had a very good experience. We had a larger group, but were able to get in. The place is large, and it was moderately filled. The service was good and the waiter was very attentive. There is a good variety of food options, and everyone liked what they got. There was also a kids' menu which is always a huge plus. The costs was reasonable for what we got, and overall I have no complaints. I had a much better experience here than at many of the more well known locations where you have to wait an hour plus to get seated.

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.
