This worried us a little, but we wanted to rest a little and we were really hungry! I'm happy we stayed because the food was really good . I had the cochinita pibil which was a pulled pork dish with beans and soft tacos. It really hit the spot. Didn't feel too heavy and was just the right amount of food after all the walking we did. My friend ordered the pollo con mole and while I didn't have any of hers, she couldn't stop gushing about how good the mole sauce was and how good the chicken was seasoned. She was apprehensive about the meal at first, but cleaned her plate in the end. Otherwise, service was good. The restaurant became pretty full by the time we ordered and while it seemed like there was only one server, her was pretty attentive to our needs. Would recommend this restaurant!

After discovering that our first three choices were all shuttered, we ended up at La Pepita by default. Thankfully, it turned out to be a great find. We stopped in late in the afternoon, when the pace was relaxed but the energy still lively. The space had a fun, casual vibe -- the kind of place that feels effortlessly cool without trying too hard. The service was friendly and quick, and the staff seemed to genuinely enjoy what they do. We ordered a few snacks and drinks, all of which hit the spot. Everything was flavorful, nicely presented, and perfect for sharing. Even though it wasn't quite the dinner rush, there was a steady flow of people, which tells me it's a popular spot year-round, not just a backup when others are closed. Overall, La Pepita was a happy surprise on an August afternoon -- great atmosphere, good food and drinks, and the kind of easygoing charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. Would absolutely go back. 4.5 Stars

I cannot recommend this place more heartily. It must not on any account be confused with any other restaurant with the word Cantina in it. Owned by the charming, dedicated Jose and Hector, this is a triumph of a place, with genuine, joyful passion for Mexican food. And the margaritas are stunning. Occasionally there is live music, but it's never tacky. Would you believe that four grown men had, for just EUR120, the following: 12 tortillas ceviche frijoles machaca rajas two enchiladas chile con carne one tres leches to share two beers, nine margaritas Where can you get more pleasure and better value??!
