    Fish tacos with yuca fries
    Ashley A.

    Casual Mexican place with a playful lively vibe. I went on a night for the Clermont wine walk and we were seated right away. Service was attentive. I got fish tacos and yuca fries. With the sauces and toppings the tacos were flavorful enough and the yuca fries were freshly fried and crispy. Wonderful Friday night dinner.

    Tortilla soup
    Naomi G.

    This place was super cute and had pretty good service. The food was great as well. The only dish that was a letdown from our group was the tortilla soup, though I didn't personally try it, my sister only ate a few bites and left it. The only reason for knocking 1 star off is because I was charged $16.50 for three itty bitty cans of Clamato. When I say itty bitty, I mean like just about the size of a shot glass, maybe a tad bigger. You can get a six pack of them at Walmart for $4 and change. So I was absolutely baffled at the hefty price tag. So two non alcoholic "beers" with the tomato juice in them ended up costing around $30+ which is absurd in my opinion. Everything else was really good though so I'd definitely go back.

    Visiting clermont with family , we passed by this pretty street with many trees and decided to go to Pepe's cantina . No steps to get into restaurant . I ordered a chicken with cream and spinach, plantains and yuca. And water . Many plenty seating indoor and outdoors . Family friendly place

    Visited Clermont and had the pleasure of having Pepe's cantina just steps away from where I was located. This place really brings in those Mexican vibes that I look forward to when it comes to all things tacos. They have a great margarita bar along with a full selection of spirits. They offer table side guac which gets made right at your table and you get to taste it before they finish to give it any specific flavors but I can say they've perfected it and there's no need. The Birria is Amazing, from tacos to burritos to even birria empanadas! They have a huge selection of dishes and protein to choose from. Tons of seafood including octopus which I strive for. On both visits I had phenomenal service. They were attentive, welcoming, help you with the menu and the food comes out faster than you'd expect at any sit down place. If you love Mexican food then do yourself a service and pass by Pepe's Cantina!

    I am blow away by the service and accommodation that Pepe's had to host my 40th birthday with a reservation for 50 people!! The food came out quickly and hot and we didn't have to worry about people being done when the others food was just coming out. We were able to bring in our own cake with no issues! All of the staff were so kind and patient with our big group! They allowed us to come in and decorate too! Best place to host a large group. Everyone was so happy with their food and service too!

    Shrimp Tacos (3 Pieces)

    Pepe's is in downtown Clermont about a block from the large lake. This was a fun stop for dinner on a Friday evening as the whole area is buzzing with people, live music and shopping. Service was prompt, chips & salsa came immediately after seating, as it should. There's seating in and out and also an entire " margarita Garden" in the back for more casual dining. We went more traditional and sat at a table, had the fajitas trio (chicken, steak, and ), shrimp tacos, and street corn. Price is on the higher side but food was great on flavor. Both the chicken and steak have a hint of sweet flavor to it. Food came at a good amount of time and was piping hot.

    We told the server it was our first time here and he laughed and said me too. We laughed but then it didn't become funny. We all started with drinking. I had a watermelon margarita. It was delicious. We are off to a good start. My friends ordered the queso and chips. Only queso was brought out and the chips to use were the free ones they put on the table when we arrived. The queso was a small dish. It was definitely not worth the coin for that. Next the mains. I had the chicken enchiladas. The sauce was flavorless, the chicken was dry and the tortilla shell you couldn't even cut. I also ordered the yuca fries. I laughed when they came out. There were 4 lined up on a plate. They were good but not worth 4.50. My friend ordered the shrimp tacos with the plantains for the extra up charge. The tacos came out and they were fish instead of shrimp. The server came over we told him and he just stared at the plate. That's how we knew it was his first day. Instead of saying I apologize and grabbing the plate, he said I'll be back I'm gonna talk to my manager. He went in the back and then came back again, grabbed the plate and took in the back area again. I had the full view I could see them inspecting the tacos. A few mins later he came back and said her shrimp tacos would be out. They did. No plantains. We got to the end of eating and the plantains came out. We paid the bill and left. I never want to go back.

    We enjoyed a great meal tonight. Being a party of 7 we didn't have to wait long even though it was busy. Both patio & indoor seating is available. The menu is huge so can satisfy your appetite with take home to spare. Queso Fundido. Fajitas. Fish Tacos. Tacos Birra. Chile Relleno. They have it all. Good cocktail & beer choices as well. It's on our taste bud list

    Salmon tacos
    Ashley B.

    I'm a big fan of Pepe's Cantina. When my husband and I are in the mood for Mexican food, this is our go-to spot. First of all, the margarita selection is outstanding. My personal favorite, and the one that always keeps me returning, is the Spicy Pineapple Margarita. Super flavorful and delicious! For food, I've never had a bad experience. Pepe's does specialize in some unique seafood combos (including dishes with octopus), so be aware when you order. Some of my favorite dishes are the Hawaiian fajitas and the salmon tacos. Amazing! My husband also really enjoyed the barbacoa burrito during our last visit. We also always get the table side guacamole; it is outstanding! The service is always good and fairly quick. Restaurant is very cute and team is always friendly and welcoming. A must-visit if you're in Clermont and looking for a good Mexican spot.

    Wow! This place is a gem. Do not let the outside deter you for inside is some of the best tasting…read morefood you will ever eat. From the homemade "smoky verde salsa" of the chips, to the fluffy tortillas that are wrapped around my Ceviche Burrito con Pollo or companion's barría tacos. The rice was in the burrito and it was fresh and fluffy as well. The pollo was cubed perfectly and did not overwhelm the burrito. The cheese sauce was light and flavorful. This was as 'authentic' and scratch made as any restaurant food, of any style, I have ever eaten. Do not walk, but run! We came from Tampa and this was a random find (on Yelp, of course!) that we will be returning whenever we are in this area. Gracias por ¡Una comida excelente y un servicio amable y cortés durante nuestra visita! I will give it only my third A+ rating!!

    On my first trip here we opted to go with their taco's and chips and Salsa for lunch hoping to get…read moresome authentic Mexican style street taco's. We ended up ordering an Asada (steak), shredded beef and El Pastor (Marinated pork) taco's that were definitely authentic Mexican street taco's that reminded me of the taco's I get on my annual trips to Mexico. All the the taco's were well made with fresh ingredients (corn tortilla's, choice of meat, sautéed onions, cilantro) and most importantly were quite tasty. prices were very reasonable ranging from $3 for the El Pastor to $4 for the steak. Relative to the chips and Salsa they were OK but I definitely have had better at the Mexican restaurants I frequent. The restaurant itself is a bit deceiving where it has a rustic appearance on the outside where the inside is much nicer with a bright clean interior and a bar that makes assorted cocktails. The Axiom of not judging a book by its cover applies here. Relative to the menu it is definitely on the unique side as it serves both Mexican and Peruvian food where the Peruvian food entrees sound/looks very enticing as it is something I have never tried before. Relative to staff they are very friendly, with good service where language might a bit of a problem where the waitress I had seemed to struggle a bit with English. But hey, that's how you know the food is authentic right (: Overall a very nice restaurant that I plan on returning to where the next time I will be sampling some of their Peruvian dishes! If your in the area and are a fan of good Latin style cuisine you should definitely check this place out.
