So we've only been in Portland for about a week and have already been here five times, I think…read more Maybe four. But they are so good! This is a small place, but it is clean and comfortable. The employees we've interacted with have all been very friendly, and generally prompt. As I'm most accustomed to Tex-Mex, I kind of tread lightly with more authentic Mexican food. The first time I ordered off the à la carte menu: one cheese enchilada, a chicken soft taco, and a side of rice. The enchilada was good, nothing amazing. The pulled chicken soft taco was AMAZING. For $2.49 you get a housemade tortilla STUFFED with delicious pulled chicken. So, so good. The rice was also very good, and was a pretty large portion for a side. The second time I went the same route and ordered off their à la carte: another chicken soft taco, a pulled pork soft taco, and a side of beans. Again the chicken taco and rice were delicious. The pork taco was very good too, but it was pretty greasy. Toward the end it started to kind of make me queasy. So I think it's only been four times we've been, because the last two times I've gone simple and gotten bean and cheese nachos with a side of picked jalapeños. Simple but good. Their chips and salsa have been very good, and they have a green salsa and a more creamy salsa. Both of those are too hot for me, but I'm a wimp. My husband has gotten caldo de res two times and was super pleased with it. Giant bowls of fresh soup full of large portions of beef and vegetables. I tried it the first time and it tasted like my mom's stew. Cozy and delicious. This is not a big chain restaurant. I get the sense that there are plenty of regulars. In fact the third time we went in the waiter asked where my husband was =) Prices are cheap. We've eaten for under $20 every time we've been there and, considering how much fresh food we're getting, it's an awesome deal.

I feel like this spot is a hit or miss and just not worth it when they miss. Salsa also not…read moreconsistent. Sometimes it's great and sometimes it's watered down with no spice or flavor. Service is good.

We have always gotten really good food at Pep's, it's one of our go to date night places because…read moreit's consistently good food and service.

This afternoon we went to Pep's after a long time of NOT going due to the last time being a…read moreshocking fiasco. The last time we ordered the ribeye quesadillas, when we went to pay, we noticed the bill was a lot more than it should have been..we asked the waitress and she explained that the prices on the menu are not correct...?...and she never told us ahead of time. Instead of the meals being $27.99, they were $30.99. Plus beverages were more. All without any notification from staff. They are ripping people off and not saying anything..no itemized tickets. I just noticed because we use to eat there all the time. Well...... When we went today, I asked our waiter ahead of ordering if the $27.99 for each plate (that it states on the menu) was correct, or are they upcharging? He said "no, it's more..my manager tries to explain to us but we don't understand" and my answer to him was because there is no explanation, pure and simple. This is wrong, and dishonest..all those people, paying their bills not knowing they are being upcharged. We will NEVER, after 20 + years between Portland and Aransas Pass, EVER go back. They should be shut down for ripping people off. If you eat here, you better check your tickets for discrepancy. I wanted to tell the other two tables, on a Friday evening around 4:30, that they were all being charged more than they thought, but my husband said, nope it will come back to get them. We asked for our ticket for 1 beer, and the waiter said he would give us our food for the price on the menu..we declined, paid for beer and left. THAT was bulllllllshit..and they won't fix it. I think it just gives them the opportunity to charge whatever the HELL the want to whomever they want.

What a treat to find in downtown Corpus! After great experiences at El Camino's sister restaurant,…read moreWater Street, we expected good things and were still blown out of the water! Right from the jump, our friendly server brought us complimentary chips with salsa and two sauces. All were delicious and a perfect holdover as we dove into the menu. I am finding that 5 pm is "early" in Corpus and the restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, but started to pick up by the time we left. For us, we didn't mind at all as service was attentive and speedy due to the emptiness. We ended up kicking off with drinks in the form of a paloma and a desert rose (I never pass up an opportunity for mezcal) and both were perfectly balanced in flavors. To eat, we shared small dishes including the Tex Mex BBQ oysters, tuna tostadas, and side cheese enchiladas. All three were 10/10 in their own way! The oysters (which I usually prefer raw) had such a deep and developed flavor I could have eaten 12 on my own. The tostadas - a fresh and bright bite welcomed in the heat of the summer. The cheese enchiladas? Simple, but executed perfectly! They were reminiscent of a local place I used to frequent when I was a kid, and have ever since compared all enchiladas to. Rarely do I find a good match, but to my surprise El Camino delivered. As with other businesses in the area, expect to find street parking and to take a bit of a stroll (absolutely worth it when you pop into other places along the way and make an event of it). Once you enter the doors, you are transported into a completely different atmosphere where you no longer feel you are in downtown corpus. The decor is fun and bright, yet welcoming and warm and there is plenty to look at! I look forward to returning to try more!

This place is amazing. There are two entrances so you might have to search for the host station if…read moreyou came in to the bar. There were 6 of us and we each got different things to share. Food was great, huge portions so beware. Our server came by frequently to check on us. I drink so much tea but she did an ok job keeping it full. The dining area reminds me of the 80s but not in a dirty way, more nostalgic. Awesome place to check out if you are downtown.
