    Hot sauce sampler
    Holly C.

    Went there while we were visiting rainbow springs - it was so good we went back the very next night. I had the mojarra (whole red snapper) it was SO FRESH and delicious. Be sure to add the hot sauce platter to dip (as long as you like HOT) all of them pack a punch! Husband had a perfectly cooked skirt steak. We also in the first night enjoyed enchiladas and fajitas. The service is incredible and attentive. We will come back to Dunnellon just for this spot. Side note, the wood carved art on the walls are insane!

    This place is amazing! Randomly stopped by on our way back from rainbow river, did not expect to find our new favorite spot! We got our food the fastest I've ever gotten food at a restaurant like it had to be 5-10 mins despite being so busy! Staff was very attentive. All the drinks were beautifully dressed and tasty. Great selection of sauces as well. Also have to mention the insane artwork all throughout the restaurant.

    Six of us came and ate enjoyed it all! It's a Saturday around 7 and this little restaurant was filled! We were able to get seated quickly and the service was top notch! The food earned four stars but once you ad the amazing service it bumps it to a 5, after all the stars aren't just for food! We were served salsa and chips immediately. Guacamole was made right at our table. A little bit of an overkill on the lime but it was so fresh and yummy! We had enchiladas, chimichangas, birria tacos and the most yummy refried beans! We dug into our entrees so quick and devoured them that I forgot to take pics! I was feeling a bit under the weather so I did not have an alcoholic beverage but can't wait to go back and get one! They look grand!

    Had an amazing dinner on Friday night, thank you so much to our kind server Lesley. The food was incredible for the prices, we even got table side guacamole! They had the FIFA World Cup playing too, great time!

    A great place that we have visited twice. So popular, I recommend a reservation. Lined out the door even on a Thursday! Great authentic Mexican food. Love the Seafood Mazatlan and the Seafood fajitas! Absolutely recommend it!

    My friend and I spotted and stopped in here for lunch, we space welcoming and vibrant as we entered. Our host sat us right away and we ordered our meals. While waiting they brought us some salsa, questions and chips along with our drinks , it didn't take long for our food to arrive and for us to drive into our succulent meals, he got a salad and I got lunch special, everything was great except for the salsa, in my opinion it tasted like marinara with a Lil bit added like green peppers, the wait staff was very attentive and helpful, and I will go again just might not get the salsa.

    Carne asada tacos w/ spicy pico plate

    2nd time here, first visit wasn't a fluke! Excellent food, clean, great staff, it's just almost perfect! The GM runs a tight ship! Best Cantina I've been to in years, and I frequently dine out Mexican. Style! You've got to try the spicy salsa plate, just ask, no charge, 5 different picos and pickled onions! Incredible! Also if suggest the civeche, it's not. Really seasoned much, so be prepared to add salt hot sauce, pic, whatever, I like mine spicy! Generous portions, price point is on spot!

    This authentic, vibrant and colorful Mexican restaurant located in Dunnellon offers a nice variety of menu items. The complimentary chips and salsa were so fresh and delicious. We started out with the fresh guacamole $10.99 prepared table side. I ordered from the lunch special served from 11am to 3pm. I had the Fish Tacos $12.99 served with rice and beans. We also shared two desserts, Flan $7.99 and Tres Leches $7.99. Everything we had was so delicious. The service was very friendly and efficient.

    Great Mexican restaurant located in a strip mall in Dunnellon. It is way bigger on the inside than it appears to be on the outside. We were immediately sat on a Monday at lunchtime, and I was surprised at how busy it was the whole time we were there. The inside decorations are fantastic; every wall, booth, and chair is covered in cool Mexican designs and pictures. Complimentary chips and salsa were brought out, and we were convinced to get a spicy salsa combination they offer, with 3 more hotter salsas, and onions, which was really good. For my meal I had a chicken fajita taco bowl, and it was very flavorful. Lots of veggies, lots of chicken, and the bowl itself definitely seemed homemade. Service was excellent, with multiple people re-filling my beverage without me asking. One funny note: if you go to their website to look at their menu, a Chinese food menu comes up so you'll just have to trust me that they have a huge menu of Mexican food. This place is definitely worth a visit.

    The most impressive thing is how quickly and efficiently they served our large group of over 20 on a busy Sunday afternoon. The food was good, especially the refried beans and rice that came on the side. The kitchen forgot to give me my side of beans, but when I brought it up to the server, she came out with a full plate at no extra cost. My main entree (white enchiladas( was a little bland, but I spiced it up with the many different salsas that come with the complimentary warm tortilla chips. My only real complaint is the server asked if we wanted grilled chicken but did not mention there was an up charge for it. Overall, if I am in the mood for Mexican when I am in the area again, I would probably return.

The menu price shows $7 for 3 chicken tacos and then a $2 upcharge for the steak. When we received the bill, we were charged $9.50 for the tacos and $2.00 for the upcharge. I complained to the person at the register and she said, "We have the right to change prices." Excuse me, but when you have a price on your menu that is what the customer expects to pay and NOT A BAIT AND SWITCH. I will be calling the owner tomorrow regarding this situation, but DO NOT GO TO DON PEPE'S unless you want to be ripped off!! Tonight was the last time we will step foot in their establishment.

Pretty standard fare for the complimentary chips and salsa. The queso was nothing special but the service was very friendly. The chicken chimichangas were very good (well seasoned) and I wish you could hear the fajita sizzling in my picture and smell it. Wow! Very good flavors for the most part - in some ways, flavors that rival perennial favorites in Ocala.
