Pollo en Mole

We love this place! Gladys provides excellent service and suggestions. Mom cooks awesome fresh, authentic home style food. Ample portions to enjoy now and later. Not fast food, and worth the stop as evidenced in the parking lot full of vehicles: out of town work trucks, vacationers and locals who dine here.

A "small" burrito.

If Pepe's were in Portland, I'd be a regular! Just happened to be driving through Madras at lunch time and noticed all the Mexican restaurants in town so I asked Yelp for the best one to stop at and Pepe's came up first. Pepe's is EXCELLENT so it must be the best in town! Torn on what to order because it all looked good, my server pointed me toward the combination burrito (a small one) which they hand make the flour tortillas for. After asking her about most popular meat options, she told me about their steak. Sold! And btw, the "small" burrito is big enough for sharing or leftovers! The steak in my burrito was very good. Not sure if it's always like this but it was crispy, sort of like bacon. Not tough or dry, but crispy chunks. Blended with all the other ingredients, my burrito was quite tasty. For the other stuff you need to know: Order your food to go or eat there. If for there, you get table service. There's plenty of parking and the restrooms are clean. NOTE: Pepe's is closed from 3-4 p.m. each afternoon to prep for dinner. Then there's the service. My server got my order wrong and did all the right things to make it right. That alone is worth 10 stars but the entire experience was so above and beyond I'll gladly tell everyone I know to head to Pepe's whenever they're in the area because I know they won't be disappointed!

Burrito smothered in green yummy goodness! love Pepe's!!!

Absolute dumpster fire! Slow service combined with mediocre food equals a complete waste of time and money. You were warned...

Everything on the menu is good. I've been eating at Pepe's since I was a kid and I've never had anything I didn't like.

If you know me, you already know... I don't mess around when it comes to tacos. Every place we go,…read moreI'm out to find the best taco. We ended up at La Posada Mexican Grill in Madras, Oregon... and this is one of those spots that doesn't try to impress you from the outside... but the food absolutely does. I ordered a carne asada taco and their three crispy bean tacos that they're known for. The carne asada had that real flavor to it, not over-seasoned... just simple and done right and the tortillas... perfect. And those crispy bean tacos... I get why they're known for them. Crispy, flavorful, and just the right ratio of filling to topping. And the salsa bar... this is where you can tell if a place is serious. While it looks simple in the photo, it honestly deserves a review all on its own. Multiple salsas, all different, all fresh... pickled carrots (one of my favorites), and of course, radishes. But the kicker... what really put it over the top for me and sold me on coming back someday were the roasted chiles and grilled onions on the side. That alone tells you everything you need to know about how good this place really is. And I'll say this, because it proves itself over and over again... do not judge a Mexican restaurant by the outside of the building. Ever. Some of the best food you'll find is in the most unassuming places... and this is definitely one of them. So authentic.

It is almost comical how many people have told me to try this place out…read more Several different Mexican food options in town, but this is a local favorite. Came here for a breakfast burrito. Ordered over the phone and it was ready when I got there. SO GOOD. THE BACON. THE EGG. THE TORTILLA. CHEFS KISS. Ambiance- it was only me and my friend but the service was spectacular. Great option if ur in town and it's a chain

Three stars for Taco Bell in Madras, and let me tell you why…read more First off, shout-out where it's due. We tried to hit up McDonald's, under construction. Tried Sonic Drive-In, no bathrooms. So by the grace of crunchy tacos, we landed at Taco Bell. And I'll say this, you didn't need a secret CIA code to use the restroom. Doors wide open. God bless America. The place was clean, bright, natural light everywhere. Felt peaceful. Like a fast food yoga studio. But then we ordered. Twenty minutes. Twenty minutes for fast food. That is not fast food. That is reflect on your life choices food. Now the server was nice. Sweet. No problems there. But in the back, there was a whole episode of Fast Food Survivor going on. Some bickering. An older lady, maybe the manager, maybe not, trying to switch positions. An older cook who looked like he was the only one who understood the assignment. That man was pushing people like it was the fourth quarter. There was a kid back there looking lost. I am watching this like it is live theater. Dinner and a show. And here is the thing, it was 11:30. Not midnight. Not apocalypse hour. Just regular lunch time. You should be cranking out tacos like you are printing money. Instead, we are standing there aging in real time. I am looking at my wife, she is looking at me, and we are both thinking the same thing. There is a Mexican food truck up the road making burritos with ingredients that actually met a vegetable once. But no. We chose fast food. And we got slow food. Location is great. Clean restaurant. Nice lighting. Friendly front counter. But if it takes twenty minutes for two small items, and I get floor seats to Dysfunction Junction while I wait, that is three stars. Respect to the serious cook though. Whoever you are, sir, you were trying. I saw you. You deserve a raise. Just maybe not a stopwatch.

You already know the vibes…read more LIVE MAS!!!! Came here for 24 Cinnabon. The cashier asked "only 24?" Most accepting and welcoming spot eva. Those Cinnabon little circles hit da spot. Be back soon
