    Pepe's Cantina was wonderful for Cinco de Mayo celebration, lots of people in attendance, great service, margaritas outside for the people waiting, great DJ, the neon signs were great to take pictures of. I went alone, so I was nervous I would be bored, but I was not at all

    I was with a party of 3 and we got seated right away. I went with the birria tacos and they were a hit! I would also recommend the pineapple bowl as well, which I have had previously. If you are in the Winter Park area and looking for good Mexican food, check this place out!

    Pepe's Cantina is such a cute, quaint restaurant in Winter Park. There are little shops to walk around in and I suggest checking out Rifle Paper Co if you're in the area. We sat outside because it's beautiful in December and immediately had chips and salsa which were crispy and fresh. I ordered the mini nachos which is the perfect size for 1 person and they were delicious and affordable. My husband got the birria tacos which were crispy and the meat was very flavorful. My kids got the steak quesadillas which you can choose either from rice or fries. (Do the Mexican rice) and my mother in law got the carne asada tacos which were delicious as well. Everything is affordable and fresh and the ambiance is great. Next time I'll have to try the drinks, but if you're in the area try Pepe's!

    Recently visited Pepe's Cantina in Winter Park and had a good time. The restaurant is mostly outside, they have a small inside area with 3 or 4 tables. Out front they have tables on the sidewalk, great for people watching and then some tables on the side of the restaurant and in the back is the bar. The side and bar area are decorated with plants and outdoor string lights, it's a really fun vibe and atmosphere. I love their house margarita and I got the bowl with pulled chicken- it was delicious! You also can't go wrong with their chips and queso.

    Located on park Ave in Winter Park, this location is always busy! There is street parking and neighboring lots available for parking. I sat at the bar because it was busy and the food and drinks came out quickly. The Birria empanadas were ok, they had the flavor but were a little dry. I also go their holiday horchata espresso martini and the presentation was beautiful. It came out with a smoking cinnamon stick on top which was a nice touch.

    Vanessa is awesome! We had the pineapple fajitas and they were heavenly. Thanks for the recommendation, Vanessa!!

    This cute venue has plenty of outside seating, although small inside. The food here is delicious and the wait staff is nice and accomodating.

    Most of the seating is outside, which we enjoyed. It was rainy but nice. The service was very slow but the food was delicious. Some of our items were forgotten but we over ordered and had enough on the table. I had the vegan fajitas and my boyfriend had the Hawaiian fajitas. Delicious! Also the skinny margs came with a free shot.

    Pepe Cantina en Winter Park es uno de esos lugares que te sorprenden desde que entras. El ambiente es moderno pero acogedor, con música agradable y un servicio que de verdad te hace sentir bienvenido. La comida está increíble: sabores frescos, buen sazón y porciones perfectas. Los tacos son un must, especialmente los de birria, y las margaritas... simplemente espectaculares. Lo mejor es que todo llega rápido y caliente, y el personal siempre está atento sin ser invasivo. Es el tipo de sitio al que quieres volver con amigos, familia o incluso para una cena tranquila. Definitivamente, Pepe Cantina es una joya en Winter Park. ¡Super recomendado! Pepe Cantina en Winter Park nunca decepciona, pero esta vez mi experiencia fue aún mejor gracias al increíble servicio del equipo. Desde que llegas, el ambiente vibrante y la energía del lugar te hacen sentir que estás en uno de los mejores spots mexicanos de la zona. Quiero destacar especialmente al manager Anderson, que es verdaderamente excepcional. Su atención, profesionalismo y manera tan amable de manejar todo hacen una gran diferencia. Se nota que le importa cada detalle y que quiere que todos los clientes tengan una experiencia perfecta. Y por supuesto, un reconocimiento especial para Christian, el bartender. Sus margaritas son otro nivel, y además tiene una actitud súper amigable, rápida y siempre dispuesto a recomendar algo que encaje con tu gusto. Da gusto encontrarse con alguien tan talentoso detrás de la barra. La comida sigue siendo deliciosa: fresca, con buen sabor y presentación impecable. Entre los tacos, la birria es un favorito obligatorio, y todo llega rápido y perfectamente preparado. Sin duda, Pepe Cantina es un lugar al que siempre quieres volver--no solo por la comida, sino por el servicio de excelencia que brindan personas como Anderson y Christian. ¡Totalmente recomendad

    Three chicken tacos with double rice - 17 dollars
    Arun K.

    I will very happy to say that my experience at Pepe's have significantly improved since my last visit 6 years ago. I arrived on a Wednesday evening with my colleague. We were greeted immediately and seated at in outdoor table as requested. Since we just missed happy hour (which was over at 5), we just settled for water. Complimentary chips and salsa were given. I decided to have 3 shredded chicken tacos (17 dollars), which included rice and beans. The tacos came pretty quickly and it was wonderful. The chicken was tender and juicy and had ample amount of lettuce and cheese. The hot sauce that I requested was indeed spicy and made me sweat a tear or two in front of my colleague. I substituted extra rice instead of beans. The rice was flavorful with some vegetables like peas, corn, carrots, and beans. And the tacos were filling enough that I was able to save one for lunch the next day. Our server was friendly and quick. There were no issues with the credit card machine this time, so our payment was taken quickly! We were in and out within an hour. The dining area was pretty small with a few tables inside, and some outside. I was very happy that there was a small heated lamp that kept us warm during the cooler night. I guess the last time when I arrived during the Cinco de Mayo fest 6 years ago, it was very crowded and the credit card machine issue was just a fluke. Thus, it was painfully slow. But now it was much faster and friendlier. Parking is free in the garage and some lots, but it can be difficult to park during the weekends. My lesson I learned is probably to pack a lot of patience when they have an event like the Cinco de Mayo, but I will definitely come back if they offer that event and have the mechanical bull rides again. The food is wonderful and hopefully they won't have the machine issue again.

    Happy hour ends before many are off their 9-5.

    I enjoy coming here for several reasons and in no specific order because (1) they always have patrons but not crowded, (2) location, (3) varied menu, (4) good chips and salsa but today (5) was the best reason for me to come again and her name is Maira. She was an attentive server without being overbearing and made a good drink recommendation. So good, in fact, I'd like to have another but have to drive home. The Hawaiian fajita entree had chicken, steak and shrimp. Each had flavor but they weren't married. A sauce of some sort would bring them together.

    Good-tasting Mexican meals, but expensive. That's my take away from this Winter Garden restaurant. We sat outside, looking at the brick street. Our server was spot on. I really enjoy a good taco and this place checked the boxes. The only thing holding me back is the expensive tab.

He kept talking about how flavorful they were and how well everything was prepared. We came later in the evening so the restaurant was pretty busy but we were seated immediately. The location itself is beautiful, though it is just a little dark inside. The prices were good and nothing crazy. But the real star of the show was our server Mateus. And I mean that sincerely. We ate here on February 9th and it is now March 13th and I am sitting here writing this review at midnight because I want everyone to know how amazing he was. We have never had such an energetic, sweet and attentive server who genuinely made us feel like we were dining with family. His kindness and personality truly made our experience at Agave Azul so much better. Honestly we wish we could have taken him with us.

Unfortunately, as much as I love the food there and the ambience, especially on Cinco de Mayo, I was starving! I remembered around the corner there was a restaurant that had been recommended in the past, but I never got the chance to check out. Being that I was in the area, I figured let's give this spot a try. Lo and behold, El Pueblo was only six minutes down the road! There was a 20 minute wait, but I was greeted kindly by the staff, and when I walked in you could tell this place was super authentic. The decor was super vibrant and music was bumping. They do not have alcohol, but they have coronas and a margarita type glass premixed for purchase. That held us over for the time being. The chips and salsa were phenomenal. The salsa had some type of sweet pepper flavor to it and you could tell it was homemade. My friend got three tacos with rice and beans and I got the flautas you were able to choose your own meat, which was really cool no extra charge. Sometimes back up plans can end up being the best finds. Definitely will be back!!!!
