the food was excellent! loved the taste and was hot and ready to perfection. I had the steak and shrimp and shrimp cocktail. I wish the shrimp were a bit bigger there was more rice but the flavor of the meat was superb and grilled. The cocktail was perfect and not salty or bland. lot of people having a good time eating and watching the game in the bar. the service was top notch. very attentive and helpful. very clean inside as well.

I had my baby's first birthday in their large party room. I literally could not be more happy with señor Pepes!! First off beautiful room it was so easy to decorate in there because it's just soo nice but the host helping me that whole day he was amazing! Super attentive! Even asking if it was too hot in there and without question lowered the ac! Any questions I had he was just so nice and not bothered or annoyed!! If you are reading this thank you so much!! So much appreciated! Has to free! They cleaned everything we just had to talk our own things sooo worth it plus the food was sooo good all my guests loved it!! The man bussing tables was so great so fast and always had a smile! It was just a great place so happy that I booked there I will be suggesting it to anyone and everyone who asks!

Our experience at Señor Pepe's was great. I will give it 4 stars because when we first walked in there was no one to greet us and when we asked if there was seating they simply shrugged their shoulders and didn't know where to seat us. The food was delicious though, and the drinks were really good. The bartenders were quick with meeting our needs at the bar. We went for a soccer watch party and it was great ambience, really fun!

Banquet room

Our family booked the banquet room for a baby shower here . This place checked all the boxes , amazing customer service, delicious food , and beautiful decor . The banquet room is big and can accommodate large groups, it has a large window area to order cocktails which worked out perfectly !! Our host/server Alanzo was fantastic, he was there checking on us constantly . We have so many events coming up and there is no other place that compares I was blown away. Rehearsal dinner & bridal shower we're coming back and booking it here . The bartender made delicious drinks too , the Mexican candy was so good !

Plenty of parking , greeted with a big smile and welcome in when I walked through the door. I like trying new places and for me to return to a restaurant really says something about their food . The bar was packed being a Friday night . Plenty of laughs and music coming from the bar area, there were people eating in the bar area , With in 3 minutes chips and salsa arrived and I ordered an ice tea. The Mexican music was at just the right volume to set the mood, you feel like getting up and dancing. I ordered the chicken taco and chicken enchilada with rice and beans, also a side of flour tortillas, they are home made here!! The paintings and decor are interesting enough that the 10 minutes it took to get my food wizzed right by. The folks next to me ordered the fajitas and the sizzle and fresh smell made my stomach rumble. When my plate came it was piping hot and looked great, the chicken was tender and the sauce was not too spicy. The enchilada sauce was a tomato based sauce that was good . The refried beans tasted home made and the rice was really good , let's not forget the home made tortillas, yum!!! If your on this side of town it's a good option, recommend

What a pleasant surprise. We were craving a Sunday morning Mexican food buffet, so we decided to try Senor Pepe since they are open earlier than other restaurants. First off, despite there being lots of cars when we arrived (a good sign) there is still plenty of parking. We were greeted by a friendly hostess when we entered the restaurant. It only took a few minutes to be seated. Since we wanted the buffet, we made our way over there. Good Lord! They have so many delicious options. It was impossible to try everything. From freshly made omelets to order, to enchiladas, carnitas, chile colorado, chile verde, and so much more! Did I mention desserts and homemade flour or corn tortillas too!! And all for $19 per person. We were so impressed with this place. The food, service and ambiance were all on point. Next time we'll add a margarita or two. Really delicious food.

All the food was bomb! My enchiladas, rice, and beans were soooo good. The salsa was exactly how I liked it. Their chips were also very crispy and delicious. Their michelada was pretty good, but their strawberry margarita was too strong for my liking, I couldn't finish it. Tables felt kinda small, and with all our food, it felt kind of squished. Staff was friendly but not as attentive as I would like. No doubt, when I'm craving enchiladas, yes, I will be returning!

Went here on a Sunday afternoon, a little bit past lunch time, and there were still a decent amount of people. Service was fast and we were immediately seated. Had my go-to, shrimp tacos, and it was tasty. There was also a good amount of rice and beans on my plate. We were always checked on, asking how the food was and offering refills for our water. As we went out, we saw some function rooms available which we thought was cool and would probably fit more than 30 people at a time.

We went to Señor Pepe's on a Saturday night. They were not busy at all. The wait staff was very kind and attentive to us. Although there are very few explicitly vegetarian options on the menu, we asked what they could make for us. Our server was very kind and explained what they could make veggie! We ended up ordering a quasadilla, enchiladas, plantains, and the veggie fajitas. The quesadilla was simple but good, and the fajitas came out sizzling hot! We definitely thought the veggies were a little under-seasoned in both, though. The rice and beans were delicious. The enchiladas were good too, but the sauce definitely tasted like a standard jar sauce you would buy at the grocery store. The restaurant itself was nice and clean. Loved the red booths. Overall we had a pretty good experience here, but Bakersfield definitely has better options for Mexican food

A Delicious Stop After the Farmer's Market!…read more Stopped by Mas Bella after the farmer's market and had such a great meal! We started with three drinks: the Tullum Bloom, Strawberry Margarita, and Strawberry Lemon Drop. All three were delightfully fruity and refreshing, making it hard to pick a favorite! For food, we ordered the birria bao buns, shrimp bao bun, chile relleno, crispy beef taco with refried beans and rice, and camarones with refried beans and soft tortillas. The birria bao bun was my absolute favorite! The mini bao is packed with flavorful birria, and I absolutely loved the consommé they serve alongside it for dipping. It's such a fun combination, and that consommé takes the bao to another level. I also really enjoyed that they make their salsas in-house. They served both a verde and a roasted red salsa with the buns, and both were delicious. The chile relleno was another standout. That melted, cheesy goodness inside was everything you want from a chile relleno! The crispy beef taco was an unexpected winner. It was served with what seemed to be the same delicious birria-style beef, so it was instantly a favorite. The crispy shell paired perfectly with the tender, flavorful meat. The camarones with soft tortillas were also really good. The shrimp were well seasoned, and the soft tortillas made them perfect for building little tacos.

Since we arrived later in the evening, the lights were dimmed and our table was lit with a small table light, which created such a perfect, mellow, and intimate atmosphere. They also have a beautiful open bar, and there was a gentleman taking photos throughout the evening. We were even given the option to purchase the photo, which was such a fun touch! Now for the food... WOW! Everything was absolutely delicious. I ordered the **Asada Tacos**, and they were HUGE and packed with flavorful, tender meat. They came with rice and beans, and every bite was so satisfying. My date ordered the **Tri-Tip aguachile dish**, and I honestly don't know how to describe the amount of flavor in every bite! The steak was incredibly tender and flavorful--it practically melted in my mouth. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure our dining experience was enjoyable from beginning to end. I truly have nothing but good things to say about **Ay Mi Pa!** I would definitely recommend it for a family dinner, a date night, a couples' night out, or even just hanging out with friends. Great food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service!

They were stuffed with chorizo, potatoes, and eggs, then fried to perfection so they were crispy without being greasy. The salsa on the side paired perfectly with them, and I even dipped them in the consommé from my mom's meal, which took them to another level! My husband ordered the A Huevo Que Sí and it was packed with flavor. The birria was incredibly tender, and the combination with the eggs and sauce was absolutely delicious. My mom isn't usually a breakfast person, so she ordered the quesabirria tacos, and they did not disappoint! The tacos were cheesy, flavorful, and the consommé was rich and perfectly seasoned. I definitely stole a few dips for my flautas! My dad had the Huevos Rancheros, and they were also excellent. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and every plate looked just as good as it tasted. The service was friendly, the food came out hot, and you can tell they put a lot of care into every dish. The photos speak for themselves, everything was fresh, colorful, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!
