    The legendary bacon breakfast burrito with green chili pork sauce.  10/10
    James M.

    When I lived in OC this was a regular stop for breakfast burritos. Their bacon breakfast burrito with green chili pork sauce is second to none in my book. A generous amount of bacon and eggs, even the potatoes are full of flavor. The element that takes this burrito into the stratosphere is the green chili pork sauce. It's like a chili verde infusion. So delicious. Every time I come back to SoCal for a visit I make a point of grabbing a Pepe's breakfast burrito. The price has gone up over the years but it's big enough for two meals. One surprise on my recent visit is what they have done with the restaurant. To be honest for years it's been a dump. Not a nice place to take your grandma for a meal but great food nonetheless. Recently they have given this place a remodel. New furniture very modern styling, super clean. Abuela would be delighted to enjoy a meal here. Service is fast and friendly. Great spot!

    This is my brother-in-law's go-to Mexican restaurant. It has a drive-through window and a sit-down order counter. Tasked with picking up food for four, I ordered two taco salads (chicken and shredded beef) and two burritos (pork and breakfast). The portions are huge, especially the burritos. My breakfast burrito was among the biggest I've had, rivaling Nate's Corner in Santa Ana. (Not quite as big, but definitely more densely packed.) The young lady at the counter was fast and friendly. I waited maybe ten minutes maximum for all that food. There is ample seating outside and inside, with plenty of room for large groups.

    Honestly love Pepe's and that's why this is SO disappointing. The food, quantity, and service is typically incredible but finding hair in your food is obviously not something anyone wants... Didn't even get to have a bite before noticing the black hair coming from the guac on the taquitos.

    I went by Pepe's yesterday to pick up dinner and I'm still having the same problem with my enchiladas. I love Pepe's, the flavors and quality are there, but the cheese in the enchiladas is never melted! The food itself is always hot but for some reason the cheese is always cold. I just don't get it! I ended up just reheating the enchiladas myself when I got home. Come on Pepe's give me some melted cheese!

    Good food and service - it's a family restaurant and you can feel it in the food and the way they help you out

    Two Taquitos with Guacamole Dinner

    I grew up eating at Pepe's in Downey. Now that it's gone this related Pepe's on Placentia is the closest location. Same great food, service and flavor! They are known for their Taquitos w/Guacamole and Chili Verde Burritos. If you haven't tried them the Burritos are super sized.

    Vegetarians beware! They put green sauce with pork on the rice and on most of the combination plates. The green sauce has pork. They put that sauce on the cheese enchiladas too. So, make sure that you order what you want, with no pork sauce. I ordered the cheese enchiladas combo with no pork sauce. It came out good. Decent cheese enchiladas too. I really like their guacamole. I also ordered a vegetarian burrito. That was alright. It was pretty big. A very good size. My husband loves Pepe's. I think it's an okay place. The pork sauce on everything isn't great. I'm not a huge fan of the rice and beans either. Service was quick. We did the drive-thru. Ambiance was not busy. There wasn't anyone in the drive-thru, so it was fast.

    This place never changes and i will continue to come here even 20 years down the line more than likely. The service is quick, the food is fresh, the toppings are loaded past the brim within their shredded beef hard shell tacos (my favorite menu item). There will be so much beef, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes, that they will spill out with every bite. This place is not skimpy with portion size. The food is great and the employees are friendly. Great work Pepe's!!! I'm not sure if this one is associated with the one in Baldwin Park... but, this location is hands down the best!!! Thank You for your service!!! A+++

    For an unassuming, fast food looking joint the ambiance is actually quite nice. It's clean and warm feeling inside with nice shaded patio seating facing east outside. The cashier taking our order was extremely courteous. When we let him know it was our first time, he asked about our appetite and gave us extensive information about the menu options. Everyone in our party loved the food and the portions are very large.

    First off, it's delicious! Chunks of ham with lots of everything else in a great flavor combo! It's a little under $15, but it can feed 2-3 people! Loved it!

    the BIGGEST & tastiest burritos! I always like getting the breakfast burrito. They're California burrito is also very good. For the pricing, you are getting a good amount of food!! Their drive-through is typically pretty quick. And they just redid the inside of the store which looks really nice and has a good amount of seating. I will continue to come here for all my burritos! I've been coming here for 10 YEARS now - they're always consistent & it's always delicious.

    Amazing breakfast burrito--huge and delicious! The ambience was great and the service was excellent. They even have a drive-thru. I'll definitely be back!

    Wet chile verde burrito with green sauce. So delicious!
    Diana R.

    Talking about how delicious the wet chile verde burrito is, we decided to share one. This burrito is so huge, we split it amongst 3 people! Chips and lettuce and tomato came on the side. Meat was tender and flavorful. The green sauce is so good. I told the hostess I'm considering working there to learn how to make that sauce! . When transaction was done, the hostess thanked me and said to 'have a blessed day'. THAT was so sweet and special to hear.

    A better breakfast burrito doesn't exist. Plain and simple. Come hungry and, if you're strong enough to finish it, leave full for the day.

    Does this location have indoor seating? I've been to one and it was outdoor seating only, in a sketchy neighborhood.

    Yes, there has always been indoor seating at the Fullerton and Brea locations. The Brea location has more indoor sitting.

She was totally satisfied as well! I had the combination Flajitas Flat Iron with tender chicken breast meat, juicy sautéed shrimp, and moth watering steak. My meal was Bomb!! Both the Flajitas and the Birria Al Vapor came with rice and beans as well and were quite filling! Lagos gets an A+ for the food for sure!!

He took his job seriously and seemed to enjoy every minute of what he was doing. He kept our drinks refilled and ensured that we had everything that we needed and wanted to enjoy our meal at this establishment!

Thanks to you all for handling such a busy day with professionalism, grace and warm smiles while doing so! This is truly commendable! We will definitely be back! As far as the ambiance is concerned, Lagos is a stunningly beautiful building on the inside and outside! It has beautiful arches and high ceilings which are adorned with authentic sculptures and pristine lighting. There is ample seating in various sections of the expansive restaurant, with comfortable seating both inside and outside! The atmosphere is warm and comforting, and all patrons seemed to enjoy their stay while eating and fellowshipping together! This was totally Awesome!! We had a swell time and would like to highly recommend Lagos in Fullerton to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, in a professional, friendly and absolutely beautiful restaurant!!

It's not a big restaurant but they spaced it out great and have a great bar,western, Hispanic vibe to the whole place. I loved the artwork and photos with frames. The service was great, between the bartenders, check in and our host we were always tended to and asked how we are enjoying our experience. Now.. when I heard taco buffet... I'll admit I was skeptical. So when my buddie suggested this for our foodie group I figured give it a shot. I'll start by saying ... I'd go every Tuesday lol it was a simple buffet they had every meat you needed, the carne asada was good, the chicken was good, the barbacoa was friggin delicious my favorite was the Al pastor. And the mushrooms ... usually at buffets have dry or oily food and this was pretty damn good to be honest. I think it's a solid business plan to do taco Tuesday like this. On top of all that the mini churros were good, the salsas were delicious. The chips were alright I think that's the only thing that was ok for me but overall I enjoyed myself very much. ALSO!!! The mango margarita!!! PERFECTION!!!!!

My no-carb-loving husband was ultra jealous. The options at this taco Tuesday bar are seriously impressive--at least six different proteins, nacho cheese, pozole, all kinds of salsas and toppings, plus four flavors of agua fresca to try. And to top it all off, you can end your meal with crispy, sweet churros! This spot is definitely worth checking out, especially on Tuesdays. Come out and have some fun!
