    Mushroom Croquettes were delicious

    Excellent dinner. Wonderful family restaurant (Pepitos- we had Freddy & Jacqueline serving us). My husband ordered La Vaca Vieja (it was a perfectly cooked center cut filet mignon) and I ordered chicken. We also had a very tasty dessert and the wine by the glass was A+ (and we are picky wine drinkers). Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Beautiful decor!

    We visited Pepito while visiting Barcelona after a local person recommended it to us and we enjoyed our visit immensely. This place is close to all local attractions but it's a bit tacked away, which makes it a perfect spot for locals and not very known to tourists. The interior decor was stunning and the service was excellent. We enjoyed every dish we tried. We were a party of eight which meant we ordered a lot of food and tasted several different dishes. The ribeyes were amazing and my ceviche and raviolis were perfect. This place is very reasonably priced for the quality of food they serve. I highly recommend Pepito and we will definitely return for more meals.

    We had a great time at Pepito! We popped in for dinner after arriving from a long flight. The staff was very friendly and the explained the menu to us so that we knew exactly what to order for our family. The drinks and food were also really good! The Ribeye for 2 is a must!

    Baked Picaton - baked chicken
    Mandi F.

    Swung in for an early lunch (1pm) and luckily we did because by 2pm the place was filled. The space is fancy and more upscale, and while I'd normally prefer more low key spots as a tourist, my group was borderline hangry and we can't have that. Staff were friendly and spoke Spanish and some French to my French colleague. In terms of food, it was more spanish and less tapas so no sharing dishes. We ordered: * Mushroom croquettes to share - I'm not a mushroom fan but these were fantastic. So rich in flavor and super creamy. * They're known for their meat dishes so look at the black section of their menu. * I ordered the Bass (I'm pregnant so there's a lot I can't have right now), but it was delicious. Perfectly cooked, I'd order this again even if I'm not pregnant. * Someone in my group ordered the salmon tartar and said it was good. * Most everyone ordered the Baked Picaton - baked chicken. You get a whole chicken that's about the size of a smaller cornish hen. They all raved about it. Otherwise they take card or cash, just make sure you call them over to pay as they won't come back to check on you otherwise like they do in the US.

    We made reservations for our party of 6. Our waiter was attentive and spoke English. The steak comes out with a hot stone so you can cook it to your desired temperature. The cheese reminded me of the cooked cheese in Greece. Everything was fantastic.

    Off the beaten path in Gracia and absolutely delicious. Think a warm and cozy yet elegant atmosphere. I came alone for lunch on a rainy day. Expect excellent, fine-dining service and food! I must have come at the perfect time because the restaurant was empty when I entered but was full before I left. Since I was dining alone, they allowed me to order smaller portions! This made me so happy! I started with their mushroom croquettes, then I had the scallop special, and finally the burger. Everything was delicious! From start to finish, my experience here was excellent. Every seat in the house offered beautiful scenery. I'm writing this review months after dining here and am still raving about the excellent service. I will be back and will definitely visit Pepito again! No doubt, I would recommend you do the same! Enjoy and when in Spain, drink the cava!

    Black Tagliatelle lobster
    Catharine S.

    Probably one of the more expensive restaurants that we went to that was pretty casual. We walked right in for lunch and got seated right away. It's definitely very nicely decorated. We ordered the black tagliatelle & lobster and the sandwich with ham and eggs. The tagliatelle was really good but the portion was pretty small. The sandwich was okay- it was a bit hard to eat because I think the bread was way too toasted so it kept breaking every time I bit it. I had to use my fork and knife to but it after a couple of bites.

    Crème brûlée
    Gigi L.

    We didn't have a reservation but we got there decently early for dinner and got a spot. The service was very slow. The food was alright too. The mushroom coquettes were great! The black rice dish with seafood was good in an average way and the steak tartare was not a favorite 3/10. The crème brûlée was like a 7/10. Some of the other food looked great though, maybe we ordered the wrong things? Kinda disappointed with this dinner. And we were there for over 2 hours because service was slow and no one was coming to check on us.

    I visited Pepito this last week because some friends told me that it's a MUST! And to be honest, it was amazing. I tasted 2 starters, 2 main dishes and 1 dessert with my friend and I have to admit that everything was AMAZING. We ordered the Festival de Chips Vegetales (different kinds of home-made chips served with guacamole and babaganoush), Calamares (stuffed with saffron rice), a delicious Salmon Tartar and my favourite, a Sirloin steak with potatoes and mushrooms. I'm addicted to chocolate so we ordered the 5 Texturas de Chocolate (5 chocolate textures). I don't have words to describe it! In addition, the service was very nice and helpful, suggesting the best choices depending on our taste. The decoration is cozy, chic and charming, combining different stiles with retro, classic and industrial influences.

    Fantastic classy place with great wine & delicious Spanish dishes.

    Fantastic classy place with great wine & delicious Spanish dishes. I recommend to choose one dish from each of their buckets on the menu. I also recommend their Spanish style crème brûlée

    Aged steak for 2. So good
    Jessica S.

    Food was soo good. Staff was amazing. Our waiter, Elmer was really good. We had the aged steak. It was the best steak we had ever had. To top it off, they surprised us with a desert for our one year anniversary. How nice! We had such a lovely time and I highly recommend going there.

    Great food, great price and excellent atmosphere .. located in a little alley this place was perfect for what we wanted .. light lunch .. so we had rocket salsa.. lobster pasta and mushroom croquettes.

    Scallops. Great sauce and purée topped with crispy ham. Scallops were too small but great taste with all of the elements.

Very flavorful and fast experience. Oxtail and mashed potatoes 10/10: the oxtail meet is so tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes pair so well with the oxtail. Mushroom, steak, and egg yolk 9/10: soo flavorful and balance of veggies and protein. Amazing textures and flavors. Sparkling sangria: 8/10 I don't normally live the taste of alcohol but this was great. Not tooooo strong and if tastes pretty good if you mix it with the orange juice. Fresh orange juice: 10/10 so tangy and delicious. I can't recommend it enough. Patatas bravas: 9/10 solid no complaints! Dessert Tapas: - bread dessert (Tarija): 11/10 amazing dessert that is creamy, cameralized, and has a mochi like texture. This fried chewy dessert is not too sweet and such an affordable price. - coconut pudding 9/10 solid and refreshing if you like flan - bread, chocolate oil, salt 7/10: I live the complex flavors. The chocolate mousse was light and the bread to mousse ratio was perfect. It's a smaller dessert tho I wouldn't recommend it if ur sharing. Service: amazing! Staff I'm everywhere so it was very easy to order more food. Also we were sitting buy the area where they made dessert and they allowed me to record them making it!!

The feta cheese was absolutely disgusting, it tasted like imitation rubber cheese. - The "Al Ajillo" Style Shrimps (GAMBES AMB ALLADA) had a very strange flavor within it, which overwhelmed the garlic flavors. - The Beef Tenderloin (FILET VEDELLA), she had to spit 1/4 of it out because it was too tough. - Everything was overpriced there for the value. If you are in the area DO NOT waste your time nor money dining here!!!

The drinks were just okay, but the tapas were great! We tried the anchovy dish, jamon, tomato toast, paella, padron peppers, spanish omelette, mussels, and finished with the crema catalana for dessert.

Great service. Great food. Great feeling place. Drawbacks? The neighborhood. The entrance to get in is AWFUL. The place is always too crowded and it can get very loud.
