We were running some errands and remembered a good Mexican restaurant we had visited years ago. We found them, but they now are under a different name, and we had heard also new management. Boy are we glad we gave Pepper's a try! Seated quickly, good service, and fantastic food! Complementary chips and salsa (and also a white ranch style dip) were very good. We also ordered guacamole and it was fresh and delicious. For our entrees my husband and I both decided on a chimichanga. He enjoyed his steak chimichanga and my seafood enchilada was filled with plenty of shrimp and crab and absolutely wonderful. Portions are generous and I brought half of it home to enjoy later. I highly recommend Pepper's for a great meal and I look forward to our next visit. read more

First time trying, did not disappoint. I placed a carryout order on a Tuesday evening. The pickup was a bit hectic. There was just one person who was greeting and seating customers as well as handling the pickup orders. It was particularly busy on this evening and there were several people waiting to be seated as I walked in. After waiting for a couple of parties in front on me to be seated, I was up next when a family walked in the door and the young lady at the podium waited on them before me. This was a bit disappointing since I had already been waiting. So after about 10 minutes I was finally waited on and received my order. I was paying with cash and there was a slight mixup with that because they didn't have exact change. In the end it all worked out, but it added to the chaotic pickup experience. Once I got my food home, I was pleased with my order. Good size portions, nice presentation, everything tasted great. I would order again, hopefully with a smoother experience. read more

First time trying this Mexican restaurant and I loved it! The environment was such a vibe, fun, welcoming, and comfortable. I ordered the steak fajitas, and they were absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The portions were very big which is always a plus.The chips were fresh and paired so well with both the creamy sauce and the salsa (so addicting!). The service was also amazing, everyone was super friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to! read more

We had a large table and a birthday. The service was friendly and very good. We got drinks . My margarita was delicious. The chips and salsa was fresh. They have a full bar. I got the chimichanga that was delicious. They added verde sauce for me and brought extra hot sauce( homemade). The taco salad were great also. This is a better Mexican restaurant than most. All our food was amazing. They brought out cake for our birthday member and sang. We had a great time and meal. Our waiter was perfect. read more

Food brought to table raw. Night manager was rude , we wont be back. We were forced to pay full price for food we couldn't eat. Terrible business. read more

Eight of us had a great time. Everything we ordered tasted great and came out quickly. Two for one margaritas on Tuesday is a good deal. They don't skimp on the tequila. The pork street tacos are excellent. They also provide a military discount which is much appreciated. read more

Solid Mexican food of the American variety. I was in the area last night and got carry-out. After reading several poor reviews, I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. Portion was large, food was nice and hot, quick service (10 minute wait for the to-go order, and the place was packed!), and the price was comparable to some of the cheaper places in town. I will definitely be back next time I'm considering Americanized Mexican food. read more

The best Mexican restaurant food, service and price that I have had in years! love this place!

First visit for lunch today. The staff is efficient and super friendly. Nice menu & clean facility. Ample servings. Good choice if you're in the area but flavors were not outstanding to me. read more

I just love this place. It's my new go-to Mexican restaurant in Lexington. The street tacos are delicious and so are the fajitas. And their jalapeño ranch is AMAZING. Service has always been great. Highly recommend. read more

The food was outstanding. Top notch quality and volume. Will return soon! No photos of the detritus that remained. read more

Such great, ample food servings. Every meal here has been amazing! Looking forward to my next visit.

My first time here, totally enjoyed everything. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was superb. Definitely recommend. Very family friendly also!! Can't wait to return. Also, they have homemade hot sauce, it was fabulous!! read more

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Lexington. I love insanely spicy food, and when I placed my carry out order I asked for the salsa that the cooks eat in the back spicy. And man did they deliver on that. It was incredible and the food is always fresh and delicious. Love this place!!! read more

Great food. Great salsa. Great prices. Attentive staff. I saw this on a yelp recommendation. I came here, and I'm glad I did. I don't know what the white sauce is with the salsa and chips, but it's tasty-good. I expect I will be back. Thanks Yelp! read more

10/10 recommend. Their food is always fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The atmosphere is great and not in your face. The decor is appropriate and not overwhelming or culturally appropriating. We have only ever gotten to-go orders, but even so it's always fresh and so yummy. The crema sauce is so tasty! The salsa isn't too spicy. The only complaint I have is they need to shred the meat a bit better. Cutting into the chicken chimichanga is like slicing through a whole chicken breast. And that's a bit much to me. Overall the service is fast and very friendly, the food is great, and the place is definitely a vibe. read more

Ok, So where do I start. The food is great, been there multiple times, In that time I Had everything on the menu, It was all Great, Especialy the Chimi Changa. The waiters are all friendly, Are always willing to listen to you. The salsa is great, If you like spicy stuff, Their spicy Sauces are all Amazing. The music in the building is good, And it's not Really loud at all. I will defitnetly be back for more. Highly recomend! read more

We just recently moved to nicholasville and I must say this is hands down the best Mexican in town. The only draw back is the service is very sub par. We will be back because of how good the food is though. read more

Fantastic food, impeccable service, great atmosphere. Peppers accommodated my sometimes boisterous family of little ones with great grace. Thank you for the experience. read more

We ate here today. Best server, best food ever! Large portions. Would like a senior menu price as I have enough to make an entire meal tomorrow. Not a bad problem! Chimichanga and Carnitas were amazing. Jalapeño dip and salsa perfect with nice chips. Margaritas 2 for 1 were excellent! Visit Tuesday for that ! Love this place. read more

Great food and large portions. Everyone working there is very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

Awesome place ! Not your average Tex-mex for sure Awesome staff & management We'll visit again. read more

This Mexican restaurant has the expected menu of all the others but they were very quick to get us food and everything we had was good. The chicken chimichanga was a crispy, flavor-packed delight. The cheese dip was a rich and gooey perfection, and the beef tacos had a great flavor in every bite, it was not the normal tasteless beef like a lot of the others around. It was a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, we'll definitely be back. read more

We were so worried when we lost El Rio Grande, but Pepper's is incredible! We love visitinf this restaurant!

Queso is very tasty! Service always quick and attentive. Food is always hot and comes out fairly quickly-but not too fast that you don't have time to enjoy your apps. Only downfall-no patio and it is extremely warm inside. They can't control the no patio, but they maybe need to check the AC. All in all amazing place with great staff!!! read more

I have been here four times already. Each meal has been great! Ceviche wonderful! Taco salad fantastic and burrito carne asada perfectly seasoned. Attentive staff as well. I don't think you will be disappointed! read more

Update, the problem was figured out and they offered to fix it, so there is nothing to complain about. Food is very good. 2/1/24: Ordered the burrito carne asada to-go and the listed price is $12.99 but I was charged $18.01. I think there might be an extra charge for to-go orders but I'm pretty sure it's not $5 extra. Disappointing. read more

Their first opening week and our first visit. They had a very expansive menu with reasonably priced entrees. I opted for an enchilada combination and my wife ordered the Cancun Tilapia. The enchiladas were OK but the Tilapia was exceptional. The Tilapia was prepared with fresh veggies, mushrooms, and onions. Nothing canned. I had a giant margarita which lasted the whole dinner. I will also comment their bar prices for hard liquor & beer are well below what other restaurants charge. Service was excellent but I wish I could speak Spanish. I think they will do well. read more

Nice atmosphere, chips and especially jalapeño very good. Large portions. Margarita pitcher tasty and reasonable.

Had lunch there today. Wonderful food, ample portions, friendly service. The space is open and airy and the seating comfortable. Extensive menu which means I'll be back. Next time I will go for dinner and have a Margarita. Ample, free parking in the Hartland shopping plaza. read more

One if the best Mexican restaurants we have had in a long time. This is our go to. Highly recommend!

Impeccable service, chips and salsa start flowing as soon as you sit down, owner/manager greets you at the table. Food is served really fast. Great atmosphere and great food. Highly recommend read more

Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of ingredients and large portions. Service was great and atmosphere casual and friendly. New favorite. read more

Peppers- Very good! I used to think Hacienda had the best ceviche, but Peppers will give them a run for their money. Fajita's were great, large portions, good service, my only recommendation is when you serve a side of guacamole, make sure it's fresh and not a paste. read more

Good service, good food with generous servings! You will not leave disappointed nor hungry.

We have been very impressed with Peppers! The location is so convenient for us so we have visited multiple times. We have found that the staff and owner are extremely friendly, food is consistent and good, and their takeout system seems very efficient. We will continue to visit regularly! read more

The food here is delicious . The service is great. The attitudes are contagious. The margaritas...are strong with the force. Don't miss out.
