    Both my wife and I have been decades long fans of Pepe's. But we have noticed each location is not the same. The atmosphere at this location is nice but very old. My wife actually prefers this but I don't. The place is somewhat large as they have dining only on one side and a bar and dining on the other side. The entrance is especially nice with high ceilings and a huge Christmas tree and other decorations. When arriving we were promptly greeted and seated. Our waitress Lizet B was amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and fast. Our order was brought out by the owner who was just so so on the friendliness chart. One of the things I like here is that the table has a complimentary large bowl of salsa and fresh tortilla chips. And its mighty tasty too! I started out with the house Margarita for $10. It was typical and good but not anything special. For my entre I had the Fiesta Combo which consists of a tostada, enchilada suiza, taco and a tamale. All the usual meats are available for each. The portion size was big, the food was hot and brought out fast. Almost too fast. The flavor of each item was good but not great. A little bit too bland for my taste. The prices overall were a little high. Seems to be a trend nowadays though. A 3.5% service charge was added to the bill for paying by credit card. I also gave a 20% tip. I think going forward I am going to start taking the service charge out of the tip. Overall we liked this venue and will be back again someday.

    I Love this Pepes location!!! Homer Glen... Why? Management and staff are amazing and treat you like family! Food is always prepared perfectly and they really know how to cook up some shrimp! Margaritas are the best in the area! We come in hungry and leave full, satisfied and happy! Special shout out to Jessie (owner). Thank you for your hospitality Juan, my Handsome waiter, always makes the BEST margaritas for me Ray the Manager, always on top of things and keeps the place looking nice and decorated for the holidays Jose for always checking on our water and chips refills And the ladies who serve our meals... I love seeing their beautiful and smiling faces! Definitely recommended this place for delicious food and drinks!!! -Shelly

    Food that we received was good..Ordered Quesa Birria 2 orders..20.46 per plate received no consumme, no rice and no beans

    Look out Taco Bell this place is right behind you...!

    Have been a long time customer, too many years to remember. I just left because I have been sitting in my seat for 20 minutes and was only asked what I want to drink. This location has lost its way, it is so sad because it was once a very good place..!!!

    social distancing in the dining room definitely practiced in fact the storage to-go containers on tables blocking off.

    #29-2021 sometimes a little short on help as a lot of places are. I came in on a Sunday evening it wasn't very crowded it was more crowded over on the canteen the side I set the dining room I was created probably brought out some hot chips salsa and water. I ordered a Tecate with a cold glass. looked over the menu to side have one of my favorites Tostada dinner only the two tonight. I ordered the beef with extra sour cream on the side. the food came out promptly nice and hot looked excellent rice and the beans and sour cream one thing I did learn though is not to have them put salsa on the rice I like the rice just plain Mexican rice no salsa. I was able to take my time relax enjoy dinner was not pushed or felt rushed at all food was very good everything for the value was fine just under 20 bucks 19.55. with tip came out to an even 24 bucks. I definitely prefer the dining end experience and atmosphere versus getting it to go for me.

Once seated, our waiter took our drink orders and they made good cocktails. Then, we ordered an appetizer and dinner at the same time for ease. Then...we waited...and waited...and waited. Finally, we asked about our appetizer and they said it would be coming out soon. People who were seated after us got served but our food hadn't come. And we waited. The food was delicious when we got it, but it took a really long time. I ordered the most expensive item on the menu and I'd give it a 10 out of 10 for flavors- Torro carne asada! The queso fundido and the tacos were also delicious! When they brought the bill, it was clear they knew the experience overall wasn't great because they put two cards for $10 off two meals but didn't say anything about the experience. I would have appreciated a gesture during the time we were there - an appetizer, a drink, another thing to try, just to say, sorry about the wait and we value you and your experience, but that didn't happen. We were so excited to have a new place, but I don't think we'll go back.

I sadly didn't take a picture since my bf ate them so fast! I did order the Birria ramen which was warm and comforting. I found the broth to be flavorful and the noodles not too mushy or crunchy. The meat portions were generous too. 5/5 Service: Service was okay! It seemed like there was one bartender and one server that night. There were times where I wanted another drink but the bartender wasn't around since she was restocking. I believe having a bar back would have helped with overall service. When she was serving us, she was very nice though. 4/5 Ambiance: the restaurant was still decorated from the Christmas time but it was cute! They have a very instagram-pic ready environment! They were playing quiet dancing music and they do have televisions for viewing pleasure. 5/5

When we arrived, the deal wasn't listed on the menu, and our server told us they actually stopped offering it about two months ago. She was kind enough to give us a small $2 discount for the inconvenience, but the miscommunication was still frustrating. When our food came out, we realized there were no utensils on the table. We had to flag someone down just to be able to start eating. Unfortunately, once we did eat, everything was cold and pretty bland. For the price and the hype, it was really disappointing. The restaurant itself is small, crowded, and very loud, which made it hard to enjoy the meal. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it, especially with so many other brunch spots in the area that offer better food and better service.
