Whenever I'm in the New Rochelle area, I must go to Pepe's place. I love their fried shrimp, the rice and the fried fish. More recently, I've been loving the chicken and lamb over rice. The workers are really friendly too. can't wait for my next trip out to Pepe's!

Buffalo shrimp and fries and Aged Reserve Cheddar Mac and Cheese
Chelsea K.

I'm in Westchester for the week and saw this place on Yelp. It's a small spot with a couple of seats at a window counter. When I walked in, everyone was so beyond nice. In a really genuine way, like everyone who is there just wants to provide a great experience and share their delicious food. You place your order at the counter. The Buffalo Shrimp was perfectly breaded and crispy. I think their sauce is homemade as well. The order came with 7 huge butterfly shrimp. The fries were absolutely delicious. They are hand cut, no breading, perfectly cooked. Mac and cheese was also fantastic. The mac and cheese is oily, but it's so flavorful and cooked perfectly. This is definitely a comfort food place, and they do it the best. As I was about to leave, someone from the back came out and was like 'Chelsea..before you leave, we have something for you to try'. It was a tiny piece of their dessert of the week (their dessert is always changing). It was a Banana Cream Pie Cheesecake (or something similar). Omg. It was the best thing I ever tasted, and I'm normally a chocolate-only dessert person. Like a banana crisp made with real bananas and then a homemade cream that was super rich and flavorful. Wow. Get dessert when you're there too! I didn't let myself buy it because I would have literally inhaled it, but wow. Go to Pepe's!!

Fried chicken, Tahitian Vanilla Bean Yams & Aged Reserve Cheddar Mac and Cheese

Ever been to a place that felt and smelt & tasted like home and even if it wasn't your home it was your idyllic home home. That's what Pepe's was like for me. I went on a Wednesday night not wanting to wait to eat too late. I stopped in. Everything I had was so tasty. I got an entrée of fried chicken dark meat (leg and thigh) of course with mac & cheese and they're vanilla sweet potatoes. Ahhhhh no complaints only kudos. It takes a little longer than most to get your food because everything they do is dropped fresh so give yourself at least a half hour. Call your order in ahead or order delivery.

I'd highly recommend the Thai chili shrimp and Ling combo. Was very tasty, tho I felt like they could've given Us at least 2 fish strips instead of one.

Thai chili shrimp

I decided to check out this place after reading all the rave reviews. I ordered the Thai chili shrimp, cheesecake, and two sides of Mac and cheese and candied yams. The thai chili shrimp were good and came with a nice dipping sauce to compliment the flavor. I didn't like the fries at all. They were flavorless, not even salted, and some were rock hard. I paid $20 for the shrimp and fries and certainly didn't believe it was worth the price. I found the mac and cheese to also be bland. While the aged cheddar gave it a nice mild flavor, there was no seasoning to give it more flavor. Similarly, the yams had a nice taste but would have been better with more flavor. The cheesecake comes with a new flavor each week so you don't really know what you're getting until the order arrives. My order came with a banana flavored cheesecake. The cheesecake is about the size of a cupcake. Im not really a fan of banana flavoring and also didn't think it was worth the $9 I paid for it. Overall, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. The food was fresh and I can tell they used quality ingredients. My personal preference is for more seasoning but I know anyone who isn't about that spicy life would really enjoy this place.

Fresh cut fries

Hidden Gem!! Dropped by on a shopping errand in New Rochelle. So happy that I did. Although the place was empty, I walked in because of a strong recommendation. Super casual spot. The owner, Pepe, was in the back cheffing it up! Pepe is such a humble man, cheerful man. I appreciate meeting the man behind the restaurant name for a few moments. I ordered the Thai chili jumbo shrimp and ling (Whiting) combo platter with rice, lettuce and tomato. I also added a side of fries because.... well, they are fresh cut and I'm having a glutton Friday!! The fries were "home" for me. So many nights as a child, my mom would cut up potatoes and make fresh fries and I hated them because they weren't McDonald's fries Now, I will take my fresh cut fries over any fast-food spot! These fries are the real deal! Made fresh to order. Worth the extra calories. The shrimp and fish combo was also excellent! Well seasoned and atop a bed of flavorful yellow rice. My tummy was happy and I will be back! Always excited to support small businesses and it is truly a bonus to me personally when the business is Black/Minority owned. #MinorityOwned #BlackOwned

6 Regular Fried Wings
Shaina J.

I was welcome by a man named Mitchell. He was very welcoming, very pleasant and suggested that we should their fried chicken. In fact , my friend and I were in the mood for fried wings. So we decided to go with fried chicken wings and fries. We also had their cheesecake, it wasn't your regular degular cheesecake now. This strawberry shortcake cheesecake was the bomb dot com ! We love every bite of it we actually ate at there before we got our chicken lol. But Mitchell kept us entertained. We took the chicken home to eat and when we took a bite it was very crunchy but i wish it was cooked a little bit more i prefer my chicken fried hard.

So amazing. Great tasting food, great portions, this place never disappoints! I've tried both their jumbo shrimp and fried chicken combos- always juicy and delicious.

Fried chicken with Mac n cheese and greens, and Buffalo shrimp with fries. EVERYTHING was absolutely amazing
Nova S.

Cannot wait to return! Do not let the wait time discourage you- this restaurant is run by just few people at any given time that work very hard to make AMAZING food. They may be short staffed at times, but that doesn't stop them from making high quality, delicious food. Portions are great and priced appropriately.

Fried Chicken with sides of Mac & Cheese and Yams
Christina D.

With over 300- 5 star reviews I gave this place a try. We wanted to sample all the menu highlights mentioned in all the Yelp reviews saying they were amazing. We were underwhelmed with everything: The "Halal" dish with lamb and chicken $9.50- is more like a small rice dish with overcooked, dry pieces of chicken and lamb mixed in with kale, herbs and iceberg lettuce. You'll see from my picture attached that the portion is so small it doesn't even fill the container. The thai chili shrimp with whiting fish $18.50- you get 6 pcs of shrimp and 2 pcs of fish with fries. The batter on both was decent but the fish tasted a bit bland and the chili sauce is ok but nothing spectacular the way these Yelp reviews imply. The fries are terribly soggy but my bf seemed to like them. At this price point I'd expect a larger portion and better quality. Save the money and go to City Island for better fried seafood probably for $3 or $4 more. The fried chicken with sides of yam and mac & cheese $16.50- the fried chicken has a great fried crispy batter but past that the chicken inside is gross and slimy in texture and taste. The yams are not very sweet which some may appreciate but i found them very stringy. The mac and cheese has good flavor but tastes a bit mushy in texture like the noodles is cooked too long or the mac and cheese didn't have time to set and combine properly. The weekly special pistachio cheesecake $7- ok, this was probably the best thing we ate! It has a dense texture and full of pistachio flavor although not a very creamy cheesecake but still delicious! For a total of $75, I had high hopes for Pepe's and it is also a black establishment which I would definitely support if the food was spectacular at it's price point. I'll also mention that I saw a sign inside the restaurant saying 10% off on future orders for Yelp reviews so maybe that might be why there are so many 5 star reviews, I don't know. But nonetheless, I probably will not be returning. AJ Burgers which is 3 stores up the street has quality, flavorful food at decent prices with huge portions, although not "soul food" go there you won't regret it.

Very bland shrimps with zombie fries:((( extremely disappointed:(

Our waitress, Chiara, was joyful and attentive and helped us with our choices. I started with the clam chowder, followed by the chicken parm over penne. My wife opted for the mussels and washed it down with a salad. Everything was yummy. My wife said that the mussels were the meatiest she's ever had. As for me, my chicken parm was the epitome of 'comfort food.' And by that, I mean it came covered with cheese and sauce and looked like something out of a Star Trek episode ... but it was delicious, and the leftovers came home for a second meal :) One of the other reviews referred to the Marina View as a 'hidden treasure', and that's kinda true as it's off the beaten path. It's not on Main St. It's down by the water and worth the trip. Highly recommended. PS: We may go back for Elvis night!

Then choose some veggies like lettuce, onion, cucumber, tomato's. Sometimes, the lettuce looks a little old so be mindful of that along with the other vegetables. Then is a your choice of meats. I would recommend chicken over their new 'jerk chicken' personally. Lamb is good. You can mix and match half-half. As a condiment connoisseur, I recommend the white and green sauce. I'm not entirely sure what they are, but they're definitely a crowd favorite as other customers expressed their shared opinion with me. Orange and red sauces are spicy as you can imagine. Orange sauce is spicy enough for me, and this is coming from an Asian person that usually loves spice. Red may get you looking for some water. After coming here many times, I admit that it can feel a little odd when you pay because some serves will try to peak to see if you tip. This restaurant earns a 4 star from me because of its great taste, halal friendly, and open late nights (I believe up until midnight - don't quote me)
