So first visit looking for a margarita and this came up in a Yelp search. It is standard good Mexican food. I ordered the Taco, enchilada, and tostada plate. I asked for green sauce opposed to red & that green chile sauce is crack 5 stars for the green chili cheese enchilada. Now the margarita was supposed to be the Pepe Margarita $12. Too small go with the $5 house margarita. The margarita mix flavor was good but in 3 sips it was gone. The interior definitely has a Spanish vybe. It was nice the were fast even though it was packed with several large parties read more

I love this place. It feels like visiting an old friend. I haven't been here for over thirty years. It has doubled in size and has a bar now. What hasn't changed is the pork carnitas. They are just as delicious as 1991. The tomatillo salsa tastes the same too. I recommend getting the carnitas tacos deep fried. You will need two for lunch and three for dinner. The people are super nice and I love the art on the walls. We will be back ASAP. read more

I can't believe I'm just now writing a review for this place! It has such a colorful, vibrant Mexican atmosphere that always feels warm and welcoming. The food is consistently amazing, and I've been coming here for over 15 years. The service is always superb. God bless! read more

Woooow how did I just discover this gem!!!! Hands down best enchiladas suizas in Phoenix. I also rate the rice and beans perfect. I always judge a spot by the effort they put into them and these were cooked with so much love. Service was top notch. I didn't go a second without being asked my order or for a drink or even how everything was. Bring back more places like this that really value the customer and love sharing their recipes. Pepe's I'm coming back very soon and bringing friends. read more

Decided to check this place out after a friend's recommendation. The restaurant opened in 1981. Our amazing waitress told us she's been there since the beginning. Decor is what you'd expect at a Mexican restaurant. Service was great. We had tasty margaritas on special for $5. The chips and salsa were good and they were quick to bring more. Ordered the chicken enchiladas with rice. The portion size was nice, the food was hot and tasted great. It wasn't too crowded because we had an early dinner. Prices were reasonable. From looking at the menu, they have great lunch specials too. Would definitely recommend. read more

We were headed back from shopping and since we were on Camelback Road we decided to stop in at Pepe's. Hadn't been here in quite a while but I have to admit I am never disappointed with whatever we have ordered. This time I had yearning for enchiladas. We both ordered the chicken enchiladas and when they were served to us the meal was piping hot. They were absolutely delicious and I almost cleaned out the plate. Maybe I was just hungry but my taste buds were feeling it. Good place to stop in when you are thinking of good old Mexican food. Their service is always good and fast. read more

**This account only reviews bathrooms** Pepe's Taco Villa is complete with a totally adequate bathroom. I'm going to cut straight to the chase on this one. The bathroom is fine. A little dirty but the loo and the sink are fine. The door was a weird choice, looks like it goes to a garage and is covered in evidence that us men don't wash our hands enough. What puts this over other ordinary adequate restrooms is its silent protector. A watchful knight that stands guard while you are at your most vulnerable. He quietly assures you and helps you realize that you are at least slightly safer from any potential attack by your enemies. If someone wanted to kill you in this moment, there should at least be a split second of confusion, buying you time for at least one more breath on our great big blue marble. Thank you Pepe's. I appreciate your concern for patron safety. read more

Been a fan for around 20 years now. They never dissappoint. Nice people; tremendous food.

Pepe's is a hidden gem. For nearly 30 years I have been eating here and have never been disappointed. Don't let the modest exterior fool you (if you aren't paying attention you might drive right past it.) The parking lot is small, but adequate for my QCLB. read more

Great little spot for affordable Tex-Mex // Mexican food! The carne asada chimichanga was pretty good & my partner got the carnitas in spicy salsa verde (which he loved). Their $5 house margaritas are spot on - 10/10. Not located in the best part of PHX, but this place is a hidden gem for sure. Service was relaxed & friendly. Such a cute place! I'd definitely return next time I'm in town. Love! read more

I found this place on google map and looked it up on yelp it had good reviews so we stopped in and tried it! As soon as we walked in we were greeted we were served beverages and we ordered the patron margarita!! Very good !! so we end up getting a few each!

First off this spot has the cutest decor and beautiful iron works surrounding the building. It's a treat to check out the art all around. We ordered pickup for Cinco De Mayo, after finding this gem on Yelp (of course) I was greeted and helped immediately after walking in the door. It smelled great inside, many tables full. I had a feeling I was going to love the food. My gut feeling was correct! I ordered the 2 chicken enchiladas with green sauce, paired with rice and beans and my boyfriend got a chicken chimichanga. Both dishes are absolutely delicious! The flavor is "bangin" as my boyfriend says and both are packed full of juicy shredded chicken. I'm usually hit a big fan of beans but I have to say Pepe's beans are the tastiest I've had. They do have a full bar inside and lots of seating. I look forward to going in and dining next time, with a margarita in hand. read more

Found this spot off Yelp! Driving by I always thought it was an antique shop. I was pleasantly surprised. Upon entering we were greeted by a nice woman who said we could sit anywhere. We sat towards the back. We ordered our drinks and food and everything came out promptly. The fajitas were good. I'm doing keto so beware of the green chili, it has flour added to it for thickening. It was still delicious but not like any other green chili I've gotten at other places. Overall, for the price, service, and taste...I'll be back! read more

First time customer,(wife used to hit them up years ago)..

Luz had ne sit at a table and told me to "Hang tight they are getting busy"... Temptress was nice inside. I was right beside the kitchen...Everything Smelled Amazing Definable had a "Cheers" vibe when an employee wked in and was greeted and a customer greeted Tony as well.

An authentic Mexican restaurant which has been in business for 25 years or more. Great mole and great tacos.

Please update your hours on Yelp and on your site. We drove 4o+ minutes to get here and you were closed and nobody was inside.

OMGoodness! Legit-legit!! Here is what I loved so you can see it if it's your style: Awesome home cooked tortilla chips, a bit thicker than the cheaply thin chips that most offer---and I love that. The two salsas are so full of flavor and you can tell they are fresh and brought to the table cooled in a squirt container so you can squeeze out the perfect amount per chip. We had 1) the cheese enchilada, a chili relleno. 2) The soft rolled tacos but I asked for them Crispy so the great server offered to make them flauta style --So the yeses come from Pepe's. Love when someone tries to make it work and want to make the customer happy. :) It came with fresh guacamole and sour cream and a side of the best refried beans with cheese. 3)Then my son had the kids bean and cheese burrito. He was so enthralled with my rolled tacos that he couldn't even eat his bean burrito. So guess what we shared for dinner. Yum!! Tasted like the tortilla was home made?? Pepe's let me know? Awesome. Lastly, there are great drink specials too. So come thirsty. But really, it is good to know what seems to be a family run business for the last 40yrs makes excellent food with flavor. Don't share this review with anyone (shhh!) or we'll all be waiting in line for the BEST Mexican food I have had in Phoenix...to date! Better than the Tee Pee (husband loves) better than Valle Luna (my now, previous next best) cheers and hands down to Pepe's. We WILL be back!! read more

Late lunch on Cinco de Mayo at Pepe's Taco Villa. Special ordered Mexican Pizza with carnitas, instead of ground beef. Was a meal in itself. The pizza was tasty with tomato, yellow and white cheese, jalapeno. Good for two slices...the rest boxed it to go. If watching cholesterol...may want to skip this one! Also had the barbacoa beef burro with onion, celantro and jalapeno. The beef was exceptional, very tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned. Almost creamy with the tortilla...happy on the taste buds. This one is #35 of the menu. Have been here twice. Previously had chicken enchiladas with a mole sauce (chocolate, chili, and many other ingredients). Authentic food, great service, reasonable prices, unique decor. They also have $1 Taco Tuesday! Family owned business...started in 1981. Got this one bookmarked as a favorite. read more
