    Very good food and plenty of it I had the shredded chicken taco bowl

    Very good food and good portions. I had the shredded chicken taco bowl Good flavor you won't be disappointed

    Visiting our daughter during her workday, this was the unanimous lunch recommendation from both her & her colleagues. We were instructed to look for the sugar skulls, and that it looked modest from the outside. And it is, but as you walk in, you can see the care, pride & flair of this restaurant. You walk up and order at the counter, serve yourself drinks. We ordered the veggie burritos and chips/ salsa. Staff are friendly and helpful- and so are the regulars, who started flowing in throughout our entire meal. The menu choices should have something to please everyone, and it all looks good with generous portions. The two of us split an entree and we were pleasantly full, leaving an entire burrito untouched (it was just as good the following day!) The chips are well above your standard & the salsa very flavorful. I am a true salsa snob & this one checked all the boxes with the right mix of spices and heat. Let's go back to the veggie burrito, packed full of super fresh zucchini, summer squash, red peppers,onions, black beans. Each bite was different. A burrito this big- with no rice? Pinch me. Forgive the less than gorgeous photo- only thought to take a picture after we polished off one of the burritos- but you can see the portion size. The restaurant is super clean, colorful, and has a great vibe. We can't wait to come back- a great find!

    So glad you found your way to Lenoir City! Best fresh food we have had in a long while Had the Taco Salad & Chicken Tacos

    Veggie burrito bowl! 6 stars!! So much food and so tasty.

    We stopped here on a whim for dinner because it was near the Drive-in theater. Several of the other restaurants on yelp were closed - thankfully! It's a chipotle-type set up, but better. I ordered the veggie burrito bowl, and I knew this place was special when they threw what had to be at least a pound of chopped zucchini, yellow squash, spinach and onions on the flat top grill. YUM! Beans, rice, and all the toppings and a Diet Coke for less than $10. SO much food and completely delicious. We'll be back next

    Awesome! I would have never even noticed this little gem if someone didn't tell me about it. You walk up to the counter and pick your super fresh ingredients, they make everything fresh to order right in front of you. They grill the shrimp to order and it is absolutely delicious! I had a burrito bowl with shrimp and chicken and you pick what you want in it and they make it right in front of you. My sister had a regular burrito, steak and shrimp, it was huge! Mom had the El Pedrino, shrimp and chicken with squash, onions, peppers served with flour tortillas on the side, she said it was amazing! Fresh ingredients, chicken, shrimp, steak, rice, beans, refried beans, guacamole, different salsas, variety of peppers, onions, cheese, queso, tomatoes, pico de gallo, sour cream, cilantro, cucumbers, I'm sure I am probably missing some, but there is a great variety. Very nice staff and cool decor. We will definitely be back!!

    Happy burro

    Who'd a thunk I'd find the best burrito in east Tennessee in the middle of no where, not this guy! I did find just that as was headed to Atlanta, I of course used the trusty YELP app with the simple search of "burrito" it kindly guided me to Pepos. Now, it's easy to miss but simply make a uturn and head right back because you will be glad you did. We were greeted with smiles and high engery, that energy that a proud chef has when hes about to serve up some grub that he knows you're gonna love....you'll feel it too. I promise, these guys and gals are living what they are doing and rightly so, its authentic, delicious and huge portions to boot. You pick between burrito, nachos, taco, bowl etc. Then work your way down the line of meats and toppings, the finished product is art for your taste buds. I chose burrito, carne asada, black beans, queso, salsa fresca and rice with a side of salsa Verde and some chips with a jaritos to wash it all down. I sat down all smiles and if I closed my eyes I'd swear i wasnt in east TN but way down south. That wasnt rain I hear pouring down it was waves. The decor is vibrant, the food is excellent, the people are proud. Tennessee continues to surprise me with epic food in far off places. Dont sleep on pepos it worth the drive!

    Nachos!!

    Nice new Mexican restaurant opened and I decided to pop in for some lunch. Love the look and…read moreatmosphere here. Traditional look and it looks so clean and new inside. Service was quick and within minutes I was munching on chips and salsa with my drink in hand. Salsa was good with a mild spice so anyone can handled this with the option of spicing it up more if you wish. Ordered the lunch Chimichanga with regular sides and it was cooked perfectly. I would like to come sometime after work so I can try out some drinks.

    Dirty & Dangerously Careless with Hygiene and Food Allergies - El Jimador…read more I had one of the most shocking and unsafe dining experiences I've ever had at El Jimador. We were seated at a table still covered in sticky residue and leftover food from the previous guests. We waited 5 minutes, hands in the air, before someone came to clean it. Before ordering, I clearly told our waitress, Maria (older woman, dark hair) that I have a dairy allergy and that no dairy could be on my food. She said she understood. When my plate arrived, there was cheese on the beans. I sent it back, and ten minutes later, Maria returned with a "fixed" plate. Halfway through eating, I discovered beans with cheese hidden under the toppings -- meaning I had already consumed dairy. For someone with an allergy, this is not a "small mistake" -- it's dangerous and can cause hours of severe illness or even send someone to the hospital. When I asked for the manager, Manuel was dismissive, handed me his business card, and said, "Call me if you make it to the hospital." I explained my symptoms would mean a long night of stomach pain and severe bathroom issues, and that I had been clear about my allergy multiple times. His response? "What do you think I should do?" When I suggested at the very least comping the meal, as I would be running the pharmacy shortly after, Maria refused and sarcastically said, "Call us when you make it to the hospital," rolling her eyes. This was not just poor service -- it was dangerously negligent. The lack of cleanliness, blatant disregard for a stated allergy, and mocking attitude toward a serious medical concern show a complete failure in basic food safety and hospitality. If you have any dietary restrictions or care about hygiene, do not trust this restaurant with your health.
