Pepe El Toro is definitely a whole in the wall spot that is worth trying and coming back too. Food is delicious and prices are more than reasonable. Staff is friendly, attentive and always smiling. The decor is nice, clean and definitely relaxing. If you haven't tried them yet, then you are missing out. FYI, didn't take a photo of the food because it was too delicious to wait to eat it. read more

This was my first time trying this place and my whole family loved it! The server was very helpful, kind, and made us feel welcome. I got the wet burrito and it was really good, full of flavor and a good portion. The rice was honestly one of my favorite parts, it had so much flavor. The prices were good too. Definitely a great first experience and we'll be coming back! read more

Great service, good food and a clean restaurant. It's the 4th Friday of lent so I went to get fish tacos. The owners are super sweet and remind me of family. Like you know it's going to be good food because Grandma is running the shop with her apron on. Get an enchilada, you won't regret it! read more

Came to the new restaurant today to see if it was like the old place I haven't been here in a really long time. I have gotten to go orders from the old spot but not from the new spot and it looks wonderful. I like how they upgraded the food still taste excellent we had the chile rellenos .à la carte. I love this place. I'm glad that the new restaurant location did not change the quality of the food. I will be back. I love the new set up in the restaurant. It's much more wide open. The other place was a little cramped, but I still like going there. read more

Disappointing experience overall. My bacon-wrapped shrimp were undercooked even after being sent back, and several items we ordered took so long that we canceled them. The staff's response was rude and unprofessional. Unfortunately, both the food and service were poor. read more

Luis was an amazing server to me, if you ever eat here, I would ask for him to be your server. The place is nice and the food delicious and the place is clean. God bless everyone! read more

This review is coming from someone who could not pause long enough to take a photo of the food. Delicious Mexican food, a warm welcome, and a great atmosphere. The only picture I have is an empty plate, which says more than words ever could. I will be back for sure. Definitely recommended. Zero regrets. Did I mention chips and salsa for days? Coca Cola from a large glass bottle? read more

Pepe El Toro Restaurante - This was the delicious appetizer taquitos. Yum yum. - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Lancaster, California

This spot is a gem! Had the hard chicken tacos and they were perfect (they don't skimp out on the food). The service was quick and they even changed the channel so I could watch the Seahawks game on one of the TVs. The location is very clean and welcoming and the staff was extremely polite. The pricing is great this a new go to for sure. read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in this area. The food and their service are remarkable. This restaurant is tucked into a small plaza and is cool, quite, chill, and peaceful. They gave complimentary chips and salsa and then asked my if I wanted more after I finished. The owner was very nice and helped explain the differences between the 3 tortas that were on the menu (Milaneza, Cubana, and Talia). I ended up ordering a Torta Talia since it has everything that the Milaneza has but with additional chorizo and carnitas. The torta arrived in 8 minutes and was the freshest tasting torta that I ever had. The bread is not excessively thick and each slice was toasted on both sides. Everything worked in a symphony. Nothing was overly salty or greasy. This torta has beans, potatoes, white onions, avocado, mayo, and pickled peppers. One half was enough to make me full even on an empty stomach. I really enjoyed the sandwich and the hospitality of the staff. read more

Pepe El Toro Restaurante - Carne en chile rojo - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Lancaster, California

I've had the food twice from here. Last weekend 3/15 ate in the restaurant. Delicious Carnitas. Everything was great. The Margaritas on the rocks were so good! Had Flan for dessert and it was very yummy. This weekend 3/22 had take out. Everything was great. Had a Carnitas burrito. Perfect. Very nice people there too. I'll be going to eat there again and again. read more

Good food, that was fresh and hot. Clean location and fast service. Only complaint is the soft drinks are bottles and cans.

During the peak of the heat wave we decided to go to dinner here and again loved it. The staff is attentive and they answer any questions or concerns you might have. We both ordered and found our food was perfect. I can't think of a finer place for Mexican food and gracious service. If you haven't been there what are you waiting for....go and enjoy and let me know if you think I'm wrong. HH read more

First time here and quite frankly, it's not bad. Great tasting food. Unfortunately, they were out of fresh avocados, so they used store bought guacamole. The waitress did tell us about the guacamole when our food was already being prepared. My son found hairs (2) on his food and lost his appetite. The waitress comped a soda and a drink. We didn't come in for freebies but would have been nice to comp his dish since he lost his appetite. Aside from that, hot food, fast service. read more

Service was amazing, they're very attentive and friendly and the food was so good best horchata I've had!!

Spending more time in Lancaster today than we had planned, we were hungry. This was our first venture at indoor dining in well over a year; but we've both received both vaccines and the restaurant was Covid conscious only making 4 of their 6 tables available for patrons. They're a small little dive, but dives often offer some of the best tasting cuisine. Nice welcome and a short wait for a complete wipe down of our table and seats, which was much appreciated. Then given our menus, water, chips and salsa. They passed the chip/salsa test but could have used a little more heat. Somehow we both settled on the Carne Asada Tostada Salad with a wait time of about 20 minutes. I also requested a pink lemonade. Good looking salad, maybe a bit smaller than I had imagined. But looks can be deceiving. No condiments provided on the table, probably due to avoiding them being passed through the hands of stranger after stranger. So we requested more salsa and some hot sauce. Our kind server placed the cup of "hot sauce" on the table cautioning us to use "just a little". My wife barely adding a sprinkle fearing the heat, I timidly drizzled some over my plate. But no worries, the sauce could barely even be considered mild in my opinion. Overall a very satisfying and filling meal, and we'd probably return to try other menu items. And for those non-pork eaters like ourselves, concerned about beans prepared in lard, they cook theirs in vegetable oil. read more

Really good enchiladas, rice and beans! The salsa was amazing as well. I also really enjoyed the horchata! I called in my order and the lady on the phone was so sweet and also in person. I will be back one of these days! read more

Food and service was great. Ordered the Al pastor and lengua taco. Al pastor was good. Lengua had no flavor but we added it into the chile rellanos which was very good with all the melted cheesey goodness. Also ordered shrimp and octopus cocktail. Was a bit on the sweeter side but still good. read more

This is one of those gems that I would have never found had it not been for Yelp. We were driving through Lancaster on the way to Palm Springs and looking for a good restaurant. This is literally a hole in the wall, run by a super nice lady. My brother in law got a torta that he said he would have rated 8 out of 10. I did the shrimp enchiladas which were excellent and it a kind of chile verde sauce. Loved everything about this place! read more
