Excellent food at a reasonable price BUT... TERRIBLE SERVICE. My boyfriend and I went in twice in one week.. Both times, it took at least 15 minutes for someone to even take our drink order. The second time we sat outside and were completely ignored, so we had to go inside and find our own seat at the bar. The hostess was very rude both times we went. She did not smile once and had a terrible attitude towards us and her coworkers. We will go back, but the service is not good. Be prepared to wait. Sit at the bar to get good service. read more

First time I went there got great service and plenty of food. They did a great job with social distancing and the place was clean. I plan to go back there. read more

This place could compete with some of the joints in SoCal. Only got the street tacos tho so take this information how you wish.

For our Mexican fix, we go to Pepitos! We usually order flautas with shredded beef, nachos with ground beef and my daughter likes their cheese quesadillas. I like that everyone gets a bowl to pour their own salsa. The chips and salsa that comes out in the beginning are always delicious. It's hard to stop eating it! Have I had better Mexican? Yes! But around here, it's where our family goes for our fix and we always feel satisfied afterwards. read more

Great margaritas. Draft Dos XXX, Modolo. Can be crowded weekend Happy Hour. Same for parking. One of best in BWB local area. Easy access, can be seen easily seen from Hey 20, White Point Rd. Good food, selection. Long time patron. Eat, imbibe local. Highly recommend. read more

Where do I start? Well lets start walking thru the door. Seated pretty quick, thats a good start. It was kind of hard to keep up with the hostess, but we managed. That was the high point. Went downhill fast!. Our server, can't remember her name, really don't want too, well she was 1: Rude, mean, nasty, rough. Basically tossed the chips and salsa on the table. "What do you want to drink?" thats how she said it. After she took our orders, during which someone in our party ordered the "Big S Burrito" and she said, " your kidding, do you know how big that is, its the size of his forearm" thats basically what the menu said, so barring the fact we can read, we were well aware of how big it was. Finally, after a few more exchanges and slopping chips and salsa on our table, we told the manager and he assigned a new server to our table. He had a bit of an attitude also, but thats ok, he was better than the first, and because the World Cup was on TV we didn't see to much of him, although we could see him, or the back of his head as he watched the world cup on company time. Did seem to care, like when we needed refills for our drinks or more chips as it was taken forever to get our meals. Well, the food finally arrived. MMmm! I am from Phoenix and tend to compare all Mexican food to there because it's the best in the world. Phoenix and the surrounding 50 states don't ever have to worry about compitition from here. I had the Chimmichanga, my wife and son the Natchos and my sons companion had the "Big S Burrito" The Steak Chimmichanga was a flour tortilla, dry, burned meat, sparce sauce, and beans rice on the side. Horrible, even by taco bell standards. The Natchos did not resemble any Natchos I have ever seen, again Taco Bell is better. The Big S Burrito did look good and was said to taste OK. OK I have gone on long enough. Crap, Crap, Crap!!! These chains are so typical of each other. Lousy service, crappy food, waste of $62.00 and we did tell the management. No adjustment to the bill or even a free glass of tea. Save your money. When In Ft. Walton Beach and the surrounding communities eat anywhere than here. I love to give good reviews. Hate to waste time on bad ones, but in this case I must warn had working people to spend elsewere. POOOO. read more

This place is a good choice in Niceville. The salsa was ok...a little chunky for me. I had the chorizo gordita and a steak (asada) taco. I definitely preferred the asada with fresh lime instead of the chorizo, but it wasn't bad. The gordita corn cake was like the outside of a Salvadoran papusa. Over all, the food was quick, hot and tasty. We'd go there again the next time we're in town. read more

Way overpriced drinks! Went there for Cinco de Mayo--they were pushing their 2 for 1 drinks. I ordered their medium margarita for almost $10 bucks! This is a family restaurant in Niceville! And it's made from a package, not even fresh!! After finishing the first one (I couldn't believe I drank it that fast) I looked at the plastic cup (yep, had to drink a $10 drink out of a plastic cup!!) it was filled almost to the brim with ice!!?? The waitress asked me if I was ready for my 2nd margarita--I said yes, but could she not put so much ice in this one. She said she could not, but she could just refill the cup I had my first one in and not add any more ice (??). I opted for that, but was not happy with that deal--like I said, based on both quality and quantity, that drink offer was way overpriced. read more

The food used to be decent but not anymore. The salsa has even gone downhill. There are better Mexican restaurants in the area, though very few are even above 3 star. My daughter says the rice is still good. read more

I recently had dinner here and I have to say that it's the best tasting Mexican restaurant around. There aren't very many Mexican restaurants to choose from in this area and now that they have a spot in Niceville I can enjoy good Mexican and not have to worry about crossing the toll bridge. You must try their Margaritas and pretty much anything on their menu will be satisfying. read more

Before I start my review, let me just say I am a real customer who sat down to eat here and this review is real!! I can't believe the amount of people that this place has fooled. I'm from the west coast and this is not real Mexican food. I was really hoping to find a good authentic Mexican place to eat in Florida. I ordered some carne asada tacos and a carne asada sope. The tacos were dripping in grease and the meat had a weird taste to it. Almost like it was boiled then fried idk. They call the tacos, street tacos. But let me tell all of you out there, those are not what tacos are supposed to be like!!The sope is kind of hard to explain since most of you didn't grow up in a Mexican home. Sopes are supposed to have a nice piece of masa under all the goodness but this sopes masa was thinner than a tortilla. WTH?! The salsa they serve with the chips, I swear it taste like pace or picante salsa. Make your own fresh salsa Pepito's! Damn! The chips are not fresh. Stale as a motherf*****. The cilantro and union for the tacos and sope, don't you guys wash it or what? The people I went with actually ended up getting sick shortly after stopping here. And I almost forgot about the horchata, its not real. It's from a bag you buy at the store, they mix in a pitcher with water. I can tell. You guys don't have me fooled. Last but not least the service was not all that and the place could use some love but don't make the place smell like chemicals, it's not what a "Mexican restaurant" is supposed to smell like. read more

Pepito's - Carne asada tacos covered and dripping in grease! - Mexican Near Me - Bluewater Bay, Florida

See all

Pretty much like most of the Tex-mex places. The wings are surprisingly good, and they do have bogo margaritas.

Chose to eat at this place at 6:00 on a Sunday afternoon. I'm assuming that the wait staff was very short but the service was terrible. My drink stayed dry to the point that I walked around looking for a water pitcher to refill for myself. The food was bland, tasteless, and cold. Never again. read more

Ambiance is good; music right level; service quick in fact meals arrived so fast they were with nuked or prepared in advance. King Burrito was bad, white lettuce, had to search for the meat, no taste. Chimichanga Supreme was way too salty and burns your mouth. Be a long time before we go back here. read more

Been going to Pepitos for a long time. Always good food. America, the manager, always makes us feel welcome and takes interest in our experience every time we are there. Love the taqueria menu. read more

outstanding. its the best texmex we have found in the area. my wife loves it and she is a by-god texan

The chorizo dip is a must have. Great service. Salsa and chips can't be any better. Had I plate that had a ribeye which was cooked perfectly and shrimp. I'm not from here but next time we visit Destin we will come back. read more

Can't beat the 2 for 1 margaritas during their daily happy hour. The service is almost always great. The shrimp is always fresh for any entrees or tacos. For being a neighborhood chain Mexican restaurant, definitely doesn't disappoint. Always our go-to. read more

Yummy I love the cantina tacos and quesadillas. Very yummy salsa, pretty quick getting your food and very fast seating, cant think of a time I ever had to wait. Love the Horchata!!! read more

Excellent restaurant. The service was prompt with good attention to our needs. They handle a group of six very well. The Chilaquiles were excellent, try the green sauce. Others in our party ordered the floutas. I come to Niceville once a year and will visit this place again. read more

Super impressed with the veggies included with my shrimp la diavlo (salad of cucumber,carrot, greens, squash). The sauce was a little spicy and very flavorful. I will definitely be back for another delicious, healthy, tasty meal. read more

One of the better mexican places I've found in the area so far. Good prices and drink specials. For something lighter and fresh tasting try the shrimp civiche. It's really good big enough for a meal or to share. read more

Great Food, Good Price, Luis was an excellent server. The only complaint we had was the change in time of the 2-for-1 margaritas. We loved coming here because the 2-for-1 special started earlier in the evening, sadly they have changed it to start at 7 PM to close, and only on the small marg's. read more

Pepitos was a surprising experience. Service was good. Food was quality. The only criticism I would have is its lacking a certain uniqueness or wow factor keeping it from a 5. Possibly the best Mexican restaurant in niceville. read more

Maddie is the best waitress. She makes everything perfect and is so helpful! The bartenders also make your drink exactly how you want them :) read more

First off, they said no table service on the patio. The place was full and we were on the wait list. Despite there being tables outside AND we saw a full table with service, on the patio, when we were leaving post-dinner. Something does not line up there... Next is the food. While our local friends pumped up the place as THE mexican joint, it was thoroughly disappointing. They messed up one order with multiple errors in what to include and not include in the super burrito. Secondly, the chicken was rubbery and tough. Third, the beans - a staple of the food genre - were lackluster. Overall, the food was overpriced for the quality because the quality was so low. read more

Visiting from the west coast... food was not great. I would not call it authentic and my daiquiri was super light on alcohol.

Excellent experience. Salsa had a nice kick. Enchiladas verde were outstanding. Service was spot-on. My friends raved about their entrees too. One person got a burrito and the other got tacos al pastor. This will be my go-to Mexican joint the next time I'm in the area. Sadly, the Miramar Beach location did not even come close to measuring up to the Niceville location. read more

Tried this place out since on my visit back home to Niceville. The food was very good I had some beef Tacos. The Margaritas were ok, but have had better. We did visit on a Friday night and had a rather long wait, but the service was good. read more

The margaritas here are the best!! I usually get the number #18 - chicken, rice, & queso yum. Good service - Juan is a great server! The Mexican food is as good as it can be, being that we are in florida. read more

Small portions that are generally lacking in any complex flavor that can even be found in moderately decent mexican restaurants. Burrito supreme does not include any sides and is smaller and less quality than most commercial burrito joints (i.e. Chipotle, Qdoba, etc.) Flautas are improperly made with corn tortillas rather than flour tortillas. Chip and salsa cost extra if you want more. Bottom line, unless you want to get something to drink, start looking elsewhere. read more

This restaurant had a nice atmosphere with great customer service. The food was tasty and plentiful, leaving you satisfied with a full belly. I would recommend this to anyone interested in some quality Mexican food. read more

Best Mexican in the area. Great chips and salsa. Wonderful Waite staff with great service. Very quick from ordering to hot fresh delivery. They have a full bar. Good Margaritas and beer. read more

Excellent service and food as always. America was our server and was excellent. I nanny and the child has allergies, and accommodated us. Will be coming back expecially to sit with her. read more

The food is probably the best in Mexican cuisine in the area but the excellent service is by far why we've become regulars. Luis C. and Max are the best but the rest of the staff aren't too far behind. read more

Worst meal and service we had while vacationing in the area. The best thing was the dog friendly patio area. If you are looking for great Mexican -this is not the place to dine. read more

This restaurant was okay. Like the reviews mentioned before we went, service was slow. I had a cocktail. It was okay. The Chile Relleno wasn't that good, not cooked all the way? Maybe the pepper wasn't cooked long enough? I don't know, but didn't taste right at all. Everyone else's food was just okay. Chips that were served with salsa at table was just okay. Enchilada sauce tasted canned. read more

Wow...just great...I have been here several times an have always had an enjoyable experience. Dish flavors are so good and tasty along with exceptional service...Superb! read more

Food is always good here, and Ted has been our waiter last couple of times we've been in, very good service

I am visiting from out of state and my friend took me there. The margaritas were quite nice. I decided to order the seafood soup. It took a long time to get my soup, but, boy, was it worth it. They made it from scratch. The crab was amazing and the soup was loaded with shrimp, fish, vegetables cooked exactly right, not too soft, not too hard. The spice was exactly right, with a little bite. I would absolutely go back and get this again. read more
