Updating my review, I visited this week and on my return to Alaska day, I bought 2 dozen tamales to take home. I grabbed the Green chicken chile and cheese and a dozen hatch chile and cheese. The chicken ones are great as always, the hatch chile and cheese is next level though. Insanely good! I am so glad to see this staple of El Paso is staying true to simple perfect tamales! read more

I walked up to the store, and ominously they had a sign that said, "Red tamales only". Fortunately for me, they had both red and the sweet tamales, but just no green ones. I was worried that the red ones were going to be spicy, but they weren't at all. Red tamale- The masa is light and moist, with some granularity to it. The red chile pork filling is generously stuffed in the middle. It is tender, with shreds of pork. It is seasoned well with tomato and chile. Sweet tamale- This did not have any filling. Rather, it is a lightly sweetened masa with small raisins and anise. My first bite tasted strongly of anise, but subsequent bites allowed the sweetness to shine through. I liked how the raisins were small so they didn't dominate each bite. I want to come back here to try the champurrado and the green tamales! Note this is a take out place, with no seating. read more

I've been buying Pepe's Tamales going on for 40 years and let me say that I could care less that there other tamale vendors in town. In my house only Pepe's. So to May disappointment this week when I got may 2 red dozen 2 green dozen and was shock to see the my red tamales were a disappointment with only a spoon full of meat at the top end and the rest was masa at $21.99 they should be recopeteado de carne or aleast the Masa covered in red Chile. Come on junior you have to keep the values that Don Pepe was so proud of. " Making a Great Tamale " read more

One of my favorite spots in El Paso. Kind of a hole in the wall- blink and you'll miss it kind of spots. They only have 4 tamales on the menu- green Chile, red Chile, Chile relleno and a sweet kind dessert one with raisins. All 4 are amazing and would recommend. In my experience the less they have on the menu, the better each individual item ends up being. He also makes them fresh each and everyday! The owner himself is extremely friendly and the recipe is a well kept family secret. There is a lot of history in those food. The price is also very well worth it. I would go take the trip just to talk to him and see what he has to say. I would totally recommend if you are in the area to go and visit this spot. Definitely take some home to go too as they reheat very well. read more

First review for 2024! I was craving Green Chicken Tamales and I just couldn't find them anywhere, but then I remembered this place! This place satisfied my craving and I got my dozen for like 19.99, it's the same price as the Tapatia. I like Pepe's because this is their specialty and not like other places where you have to order ahead of time or sell just during the holidays. These tamales were delicious and very spicy, with the perfect amount of chicken! They also had regular pork and also rajas con queso. I also noticed on the menu they have a tamales special in the morning like from 7 to 10 am and they also sell barbacoa. Service was fast and friendly and there was no waiting in line! Will have to try the menudo as well! read more

I wish I could give this place 1000 stars ! I am originally from El Paso but I live in dallas , And by far these are the BEST tamales ever ! and they are big ( good size tamale ) In El Paso there is a big competition when it comes to authentic tamales and in Dallas there's literally no where you can find a good tamales . So everytime I come in town this is my first stop ! Literally ! Even when my grandpa comes down to Dallas for thanksgiving or holidays I always send him money to bring me multiple dozens because they are just so delicious! I crave them ! On thanksgiving I'll be eating these tamales instead of the turkey and big thanksgiving traditional feast the family makes . I'll even hide the tamales to make them last because once people see some Pepe's tamales , they all grab , And they don't just grab one , They grab like 3 at a time . I would highly recommend this place ! Also Jorge who is the beautiful smile you see when you first walk in was literally the nicest most welcoming guy ! He made us feel so special because of the great hospitality he gave us . You definitely don't get people who are this sweet and happy in life in Dallas . So it's always great and heart warming to come across people like Jorge ! Pepe's tamales will definitely be my go to forever in my heart place for literally the rest of my life . No other place could compare . read more

My first Yelp review and totally worth it. Pepe's Tamales is where it's AT! I've tried a lot of tamales in El Paso and these are by far my favourites. The pork and red chile is just right. Often I find this variety too salty or too soupy at other places. This one had the perfect ratio of flavours and ingredients. The tamales are fluffy and still maintain that moist density that makes a tamale delicious. What made my taste buds leap with joy, though, was Hatch green chile and cheese tamale. The best I've had, hands down. The cheese was melty and not watery and (again) the ratio of cheese to chile and filling to tamal dough was perfect! The real star, though, is the owner! I could have chatted with him all day about food and family history and the joy of a good tamale. read more

Really delicious tamales; though could be a little more moist. Would love it if they serve you with some sort of sauce or cheese topping. Not really a dine-in place but there are two tables and two chairs at each table. Cool science in simple decorations. Very straightforward menu. We were road tripping it and stopped in - split half a dozen tamales. They are very filling but you won't feel heavy as a result of eating them- just satisfied. That aspect is awesome! My husband found the green chili chicken one dry, the green chili & cheese ones were delicious and really hit the spot. Very friendly & quick service. read more

Hot tamale!! I picked up 2 tamales from this place right after eating a massive lunch. They keep it simple here: only 3 flavors on the menu: pork with red chile, chicken with green chile, and sweet with anise and raisin. I thought I'd be too full to eat them after the large meal I'd had, but they smelled so good I had to dig in! I ended up wolfing down both within minutes. They were FANTASTIC! I cannot wait to go back to get more. Both had a great kick, and I particularly loved the chicken with green chile. At only $1.59 per tamale, they make a great snack! But they also have better deals if you order by the dozen or half dozen. I wish I had known about this place earlier because I would have placed orders for more events. Regardless, I will be coming back regularly for a quick snack whenever I am craving something small yet filling and spicy! Also, I paid for 2 tamales with a credit card. Many reviews have said they are cash only, but this has changed! read more

I had a great experience here. Jorge treated me like an old friend - excellent service and a bonus was the conversation about the history of the restaurant and his family. He is one of the most welcoming shop owners I have ever met. As for the food - delicious green chilli and chicken tamale - could have used a sauce or something on the side for a smidge more moisture, but the flavor was excellent and I could tell they were made with love. Hot, fresh, and tasty. I'm a fan and would certainly go back. read more

Beans and rice on the side are optional / modest extra charge - they are usually very good and worth adding if you're hungry enough. My favorite sauce is the Chipotle.

We ordered the flautas with chipotle sauce and the chilaquiles with half red and half green sauce. The chilaquiles were absolutely amazing. We added a runny egg since we couldn't do chicken, and it gave the dish extra flavor and a good boost of protein. The flautas (which I'd honestly describe more as taquitos dorados) were crunchy and tasty. We liked the chipotle sauce that came with them, but we actually loved dipping them into the chilaquile sauce even more. Overall, it was a great spot to grab breakfast before hitting the road again for many more hours. Highly recommend!

Their desserts are pretty good too. Highly recommend the Tres Leches cake!

Unfortunately the place we really wanted to eat at closes early on Sundays. So we hesitantly decided to go to Carlos & Mickey's since it was open. My boyfriend said the margarita was good but the food was very subpar. We added the free salsa that came with tostadas to the guacamole. It needed something to give it a decent taste. Then my flautas were not very good. I asked for more salsa so they brought me a different version. The salsa made the flautas somewhat more palatable. My boyfriend had a combo plate and ate it since he was hungry but didn't say he really liked anything on it. I say this to those from out of town esp when visiting for events like the Sun Bowl, there are other restaurants that serve fantastic Mexican food in El Paso. You truly should consider those!

The blue corn tortillas were amazing - I noticed they were 1/2 blue, 1/2 white but still delicious. Eating at the bar worked out well - the bartender helped us order and the tacos came out fast.

Also got the Jamaica juice which was also mid at best, tasted watered down. This place is definitely your typical hipster joint that can get away with selling mediocre tacos at a high price. It's a shame people do not know any better so that the restaurant can get away with it.

Went to Andale's on a recommendation from a local friend. The restaurant is really large, taking…read moreup a small strip mall. The parking lot was packed and there was a line to get in (that made me worried a little about the quality). Being alone they sat me right away. Asked the waiter what his favorite dish was and he said the smothered green chile cheese baked potato with pork chunks. The plate arrived quickly and didn't look very appealing. I dug in and took my first bite and, WOW, so darn good! Absolutely amazing. The cheese was creamy, chili not too spicy and the pork chunks were the cherry on top. Excellent. I'll be back to try other items when in the area.
