Definitely a great find. Food and service were both excellent. Small dining area and packed with people when we were there. A small gem for breakfast or lunch.

This place is the real deal. I was greeted and seated right away, and both my server and a man who I believe is the owner were incredibly attentive. My food came out quickly. The place, including the women's restroom, is as clean as a whistle. I order the chili (pork) omelette. It was delicious, as were the hashbrowns. Their iced tea was good too--not watered down and not bitter. On top of everything else, they are open at the asscrack of dawn for us early birds (all the old men and me), and their prices are low. Give Pepe's a try!

I found another great Mexican restaurant in Cottonwood. As usual, I like to try a place more than…read moreonce before I write a review. First off, the owner is who served me both times and is very friendly. The first time I got the pork chile verde burrito, which was excellent. Today I got a chili relleno and enchilada combo plate. Again, excellent. They also have some of the best salsa I've had in a while. The inside is cozy, but they also have a covered outside area to sit when the weather is nice. Very comfortable. I'll definitely make this one of my regular spots.

My husband and I had heard that this restaurant was like having dinner in the home of a Mexican…read morewoman. We were picturing something small and intimate run solo by Adriana. We found it to be a fairly large bustling restaurant with wait staff. Adriana does come and take your order. She successfully scared us of the mole which she said she doesn't like and didn't know the ingredients of (probably from a jar or mix). We ended up getting a Chimichanga and the Enchiladas, both with green sauce (lard free and vegetarian). Beans are lard free and vegetarian too. The chimichanga was fried really well. We got vegetables for the fillings. Everything was delicious and we would go back if in the area. I'd probably get the chimichanga with the green sauce on the side next time to keep it crunchy as I eat it. I wish it was a bit more clear what all the vegan options she has available are (when asked she said she can make whatever we want but it would be helpful to know what all the options are that they have for vegan sauces / fillings etc ) but we really liked what we got and were happy with our visit! The green chili sauce was delicious. I believe she also suggested vegan potato tacos. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

We got there around 5:30pm place was hoping but didn't have to wait for a table. The service was spot on and super friendly. The margarita list was pretty nice. My wife got the flight and I got the Calavera which was in a fish bowl size glass. One thing for sure they didn't skip on the tequila. It was absolutely great. My wife loved her flight as well. For dinner I order the Chili Verde which was absolutely awesome. Super flavorful with nice size tender chunks of pork. To me it was some of the best I've had. Definitely wasn't as bad as some of the reviews.

Food is low quality. I'd never go back. Service is decent and basic. It's also pricey for what you…read moreget. I ordered the taco plate and it was pathetic. Chicken and asada didn't have flavor. Tortillas were sad and under cooked on the comal. I usually love bean dip and their free bean dip was even disappointing. It tasted old and they use cheap nasty chorizo with pre shredded American cheese as a top. Ambiance is cool but because food seriously sucks, we'd never return. The one star is for the decent service. If you want my opinion on good Mexican food, go to El Campesino food truck (SERIOUSLY, go now. It's delicious and authentic) or Tortas de Fuego.

Came here on the way home from a hike in Sedona and it hit the spot. The service was very fast and…read morefriendly! The prices were maybe a tiny high for Cottonwood but not terrible. The food was not the best Mexican I've ever had but it was good and they had plenty of options. I like that the portion sizes weren't huge. The burrito was a reasonable amount of food, not the size of a newborn baby. One thing that was kind of annoying is that the menu didn't always clearly state when dishes came with rice and beans and was slightly confusing.

Tonight's experience was amazing. Upon arrival service was very quick and welcoming. Once we…read morebellied up to the bar the bartender who I believe was "servando" was kind and swift. A few moments later a waitress dropped off chips and salsa. My drink was tall and cold, the margarita was one of the best we've had in a long while. We stayed a bit enjoying, multiple sport games being streamed and the small talk being made from the staff. Our bartender knew how to make the most of the experience and I can't express enough how much he made a difference! There was another server who wasn't ours who made recommendations and taught us the authenticity of a true Mexican product "tequila", I wish I knew his name. But all in all it was a great experience and this establishment is always on the top of my list. Since last visit they have had a beautiful remodel and I can't wait to come back!
