    Quesabirrias

    I placed a call-in order for quesabirria tacos with consommé and queso and everything is a 10 out of 10! The quoted time was 15 to 20 minutes, but I was there in 12 and it was already ready. The inside was a super cute place and I will definitely be back for margaritas! If you're in the area, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

    Picked up on Pepe's after some Yelp searching and wound up having a nice time. We were there late so it wasn't crowded or loud. The food was good. Not outstanding, but tasty. Portion sizes were good and the food was hot and fresh. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and eager to please. Our waiter would sometimes disappear for stretches of time. It wasn't really an issue because the other waiters would come to the table. The whole team was waiting on us, so it wasn't a problem just an odd thing. One caveat - the parking lot is teeny weeny. We wound up parking next door and walking over. It was late so that wasn't a problem, but it could be difficult at lunch time or during the day when the neighboring businesses are open.

    Food was good and service was great. Only thing I disliked was they charge to use a credit card. So this alone will keep me away for a while.

    Mauricio is the heart and soul of this place. He is always hustling with a smile on his face. The food is excellent and having Mauricio as a server/bartender makes the experience even better.

    Pepe's is a cute place with a warm atmosphere and good food. We were skeptical about the service because when I called to ask a question the person on the phone was fairly short and rude. However we were pleasantly surprised at the excellent service. We got: small cheese dip, taco plate (carnitas, Al pastor, carne asada) and a la carte tamale, pastor taco and chicken enchilada. The only weak points were the chips (tasted not fresh and were hard and cold) and the carne asada (not much flavor). Everything else was delicious. We will definitely be back!

    A hidden gem in North Kenner. First time here today and it definitely won't be my last. Mauricio was very knowledgeable about the menu and has amazing customer service.

    I love this place! The food is amazing and everything is so cute in there :) the bartender was sooo kind while taking care of me, making great recommendations. I'll be sure to be back for the birria and taco Tuesday specials !

    I had the frozen blueberry margarita and it was probably the best frozen margarita I have ever had! Service was excellent too!

    Molcajete!!!

    The happy hour ends at 6 & the Tacos offered on Taco Tues. are TINY. Service was great but will probably try another day, not Tuesday!

    Quite simply the best Mexican food I've EVER had in 45 years…read more 10/10 flavor 10/10 Service

    We rolled into dinner hungry...like "scan-the-menu-before-you-sit-down" hungry, and in the mood for…read moregreat Mexican food and a couple of memorable cocktails. A few years ago I had been to La Tia in Metairie, and it left a serious impression. What stuck with me most were the craft cocktails...creative, clever, and a little bit mischievous. I still remember one in particular: a Mexican-inspired cocktail with mezcal and beet juice that somehow managed to taste like summer decided to take a vacation south of the border. It was the kind of drink that makes you pause mid-sip and say, "Okay... whoever thought of this deserves a raise." Somehow the place drifted off my radar over time. But when the craving for Mexican food hit, it popped right back into my head. I was excited to bring my son and daughter-in-law since they had never been. Unfortunately... the reunion didn't exactly go as planned. Two things hit me immediately while looking over the menu. First: the craft cocktails were gone. Not "different." Not "updated." Just... gone. Replaced with the same drinks you see in every other Mexican restaurant. Second: the prices nearly made me spit out the water I hadn't even ordered yet. $6 for a Corona. $18 for a basic burrito with fries. $10 for a kids plate over chicken tenders and some fries. And not the old La Tia burritos either...the ones I remembered piled high with rich molé, bright verde sauces, and layers of flavor that made you wonder if you should be taking notes. Nope. Now we're talking about a plain flour tortilla with some ground meat inside, no sauce, and a side of what looked suspiciously like freezer-aisle French fries. For eighteen dollars. My daughter-in-law ordered the fajitas, and honestly... they were rough. Thin strips of overcooked meat that looked like they had taken a brief vacation in a plastic bag before hitting the grill...served on a plate. Lately I've gotten into the habit of pulling up Yelp photos to compare dishes from past years, and I did exactly that. I found a photo of the same fajitas from about three years ago...big, juicy steak pieces, sizzling on cast iron and full of life. What we got looked like it came from a completely different restaurant. To be fair, my shrimp tacos were actually pretty good. Nicely cooked shrimp, decent flavor, and probably the lone bright spot of the night. But overall, it felt like the La Tia I loved had quietly packed up and left the building. The elevated Mexican food? Gone. The rich sauces? Gone. The inventive cocktails that made the bar worth sitting at? Also gone. In their place: food that feels pulled from a bag... at prices that feel pulled from a luxury menu. It's a tough thing when a restaurant you once loved loses its spark. But sadly, this visit felt less like a reunion and more like running into an old friend who has completely changed--and not for the better. As much as I hate to say it, I don't see myself returning to La Tia anytime soon. Turns out the only thing that stayed spicy... was the price tag.

    I had a fun girls' lunch here this week and the staff was welcoming and took such good care of us…read more We started with the guacamole and it was a VERY generous portion. It was tasty too. I had the Dorita's Famous Chicken and Mandarin Salad. It was ok. I think I was expecting more due to the name, but the chicken was lacking flavor and so was the poppyseed dressing. I think an alternative dressing would have made a big difference. What I did notice was that all of the dishes were very generous and almost everyone had lots of leftovers. Also, there is a large lunch menu (which most of us ordered from), and it's available on Saturdays as well. Big plus.

The Nachos Garcia are phenomenal. Margaritas too...always good. Service has always been fine. Now. The bad. Y'all. The ladies' room smells aggressively terrible. "Room" autocorrected to "run," and that felt spiritually accurate. It smells like someone made a series of deeply personal choices and then left them behind. Not a faint odor. Not a "maybe it needs attention." I am talking full, undeniable, immediate presence of Satan's butthole. One step inside and your body goes, "Absolutely not." Every time I've been here. Every. Single. Time. I have to hold my breath for the entire bathroom visit unless I want to gag and rethink my life decisions. Seriously. Today I almost lost my nachos before I even ate them. I should not need lung capacity training to use a restaurant bathroom. I genuinely like this place and keep coming back because the food and drinks are good. But please. I am begging. Exorcise whatever is haunting that bathroom. No margarita is strong enough to erase that experience.
