Love this authentic Mexican restaurant. And by authentic, I mean straight out of Mexico authentic food! It would make my abuelita proud! The Chilaquiles were amazing and the guacamole was truly fresh with the right amount of heat! Had the all you can drink brunch special found in the Pulsd app; I preferred the sangria over the margarita. The service was on point and the authentic Mexican home appeal of the establishment was felt throughout. If we're in the area we'll definitely be back, as it's often hard to find a truly authentic Mexican restaurant we're used to as transplanted native Southern Californian's brought up in the barrios of East Los Angeles! See you there! read more

We made reservations on Open Table for an early dinner before a jazz show and we loved this cute place. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! We got several tapas plates to share and everything was very tasty. Garlic Shrimp, chourizo dishes, patatoes gratas ( likely spelled wrong), garlic bread, guacamole and chips, along with their house red chianti! Everyone was satisfied and we recommend this very personable location. They also have live jazz on certain nights so check that out! A shout out to the owners who were going all out to decorate for a regular patron that was turning 99 that day! They decorated for him without being asked, just to make his day special! They did it all up right! Impressive. I wish I had pictures to show you! read more

Vibe is excellent! Warm and welcoming! A true American Dream come true! Met the owners who are an adorable couple from Spain. Manager was friendly as well. Waiter tried very hard, a little bit of a challenge to understand each other. Waiter was very standoffish. The Pepitini drink was great! The Tio Threesome not so much. Sangria nice, white and black Sambuca on point! Octapus and clams tapas were really good...with the sauce delicious. I used my bread to sop up the yummy juice. Teh bacon, nuts and dates with cheese was indeed tasty, but they burnt the bacon. They were out of Flan, and rice pudding was more of a drink than pudding. However, when we did not like a drink we were given another choice no problem, and a dessert plate of fruit with whipped cream was served as asked despite it not being on the menu. Felt classy to sit and watch my dear friend Jim and his band perform. read more

Wow! I am still here as I'm writing this, I couldn't wait to give 5 stars. The service is incredibly gracious, attentive, and accommodating. I didnt eat much, but each plate that passed by me looked incredible! To top it all off, the ambiance is what I am so passionate about. I'm here on a Sunday night with the live music, and it feels like a family! Places just don't do it like this anymore, everyone is singing together, laughing together, eating together, it feels like a true community. I got the Smoky Passion cocktail (I think that's the name?) and a mezcal old fashioned. So great! read more

We were in NYC for Mother's Day, and decided to try out Tio Pepe. There's a restaurant with the same name in Philly with amazing food and while we know there's no relation, we were hopeful that the food would be just as good. Admittedly, we were also intrigued by bottomless mimosas and sangria. It wasn't very busy, the host sat us in a 4 top in the window, shortly after that the manager apologized and moved us to another table. We ordered sangria and opted for light lunch, and ordered the empanadas, clams, soup and salad. We asked for bread, anticipating that we'd want to sop up the garlic broth in the clams, but everything just lacked flavor. The empanada filling, the clam broth, the soup. The service was fine, the atmosphere is cute, location is great for people watching. read more

I've been coming here since before the pandemic. Back when there was just the taco shop. I used to love their tacos and elote. then I started coming during the pandemic when they were just take away drinks. Which was amazing and something to do. Since the pandemic, I have only eaten here a handful of times. And every time I come I'm just a little more disappointed. The service has gone down tremendously as well as the food quality. What was once a staple in my weekly meals is now a once in a while trip to see if this place has gotten better or worse. Today I got the tacos, barbacoa, tinga and pork belly. My father got the chimichanga. The tacos were absolutely mid. The best one being the beef barbacoa. I also ordered the rice and beans but they were forgotten about. When I finished my tacos I asked about it and the waiter hit me with "oh they didn't bring you it?" The man forgot about it. Whatever. It happens. The rice and beans were mad anyway. With frozen veggies and the beans were watery. The tacos are so tiny and cost $5.50 each. Probably three bites per taco. Waters were not refilled throughout my meal and no one checked on us while we were eating. read more

This spot understands exactly what makes food craveable. This restaurant offers a standout setting. The presentation deserves praise, but the salt deserves criticism. People at Tio Pepe are so nice that coming here becomes a pleasure. I'm excited to go back and explore more options. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon after attending the play "Light's Out" about Nat King Cole. The restaurant was not crowded at the time, which was around 4pm and we didn't have a reservation. We were greeted warmly and seated immediately at a table by the window. They also have bar seating and an entire seating area in the back. The staff was VERY friendly and helpful as far as making suggestions and answering our questions. There are a LOT of options too! You can order a bunch of Tapas, or strictly stick with a main course. Also, lots of drink options on the flip side of the menu. We started with a DELICIOUS bowl of freshly made Guacamole which was served with a sweet salsa and chips. I highly recommend this as well as the Sparkling Sangria!! Yummy!!! I ordered the Currasco (skirt steak), which was cooked PERFECTLY! It came with roasted potatoes and veggies that were also very flavorful. My friend ordered the Red Snapper which was moist, flakey and well seasoned. This came with roasted veggies and a rice pilaf. The waiter even gave us extra chips because we devoured the first basket. Neither of us were able to finish our food. (Don't have big appetites and get full quickly) So we took home our food and also ordered dessert to go. The Chocolate Mousse cake and the Tres Leche cake were both delicious as well. I would definitely return! So many other things to try on the menu!! read more

What a change in just a few days, the employes are smiling again, They tell me that they are happy to work for the reinstated general manager Claude Alain Solliard, a seasoned professional They say , " He eliminated the too many glasses on the tables, fixed the broken lights, the decorative plates fallen from the walls, etc.. " says Diego from Chile... So it's time to patronize this lovely Latin place on W4 Street again, the gambas al arilio and Most importantly the Paella Valenciana made by the assistant Chef, who worked years in Spain, also new to come the Guacamole made fresh at the table... Wish you to start 2025 with some good Latino food... Best respectful regards Happy New Year Daniel Marie CHAPPUIS, regular guest. read more

I came here recently and didn't even realize that I had been here previously. We were in the area and I popped in because I saw that they had frozen margaritas that could be purchased togo. I order a couple and whe I paid and waited, I noticed that they had a nice tequila selection. I told hubby to come in and check out the bar. We got a taste of mezcal and the bartender gave us an orange dusted with tajin. This was the first time I've ever had a shot served like that. It was awesome and I always have a mezcal shot like that any chance I get. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. read more

Tio Pepe - Frozen Strawberry Margarita to go! - Spanish Near Me - New York, New York

3 stars for the food, but 5 stars for the vibe! Came here with a large group for bottomless brunch (with the pulsd deal) and they were super accommodating! We had one party of 14 and one party of 6, and we were all seated in the indoor garden area, which was perfect. Spacious, good lighting, great vibes. The food was nothing special, but the waiter was pretty attentive and brought us a good number of rounds of drinks. They also let us stay past our reservation time since there wasn't a group after us. Would recommend if you're trying to do bottomless for an affordable price with a large group! read more

My husband and I stopped in here for dinner on our way to check out some of the bars in the Village. A nice place, friendly servers and great margaritas. We got the Happy Hour Special and were delighted with it. We each got three tacos, and the chicken and beef were both great. The pork belly was more fat than meat, but still not bad. The margaritas were great and we enjoyed the chips and salsa too. The best part of this restaurant is probably the view. Right on W 14th St., the front seats, or the outdoor seating, give you a fantastic opportunity for people watching. We had a great time and enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Came here because my initial happy hour plans did not work out and I was pleasantly surprised. I had several delicious tacos and a margarita. They have a HH special here where you get 3 Tacos and a Margarita for $18. All of the tacos were good, but my favorites were the barbacoa and the pork belly. The Margarita was small but a good size For the deal b you're getting. The only downside is that you have to buy three tacos and a drink to get the deal. So come hungry! read more

Food was just right. Service was caring and attentive. Ambiance was perfect. I've been going there for years and bever disappointed.

I was going frequently to Tio Pepe last year. We loved the brunch menu and the atmosphere. I don't know if they changed management but they totally changed the menu. How can you be a Mexican/Spanish restaurant but not serve rice and beans? The food is good, it just no longer has the menu that I want. Perhaps they are looking for a different clientele, but the restaurant was empty compared to how crowded it used to be. My friend, who I took there for the first time loved it, so I guess new patrons will eventually find their way there. read more

Good food fun people great music I felt comfortable and included in the friendly crowd read more

Love this place! I've been going for years - the food and service are always great. I've only been for brunch and always opt for the unlimited margs which are very tasty. The food is consistently good. I usually get the chicken torta with salad instead of fries. My BF usually gets the burger or steak and eggs. Never had a complaint. We always go early to score a table by the window- such a great place for people watching. Def check it out if you're in the neighborhood! Good fun, great food, awesome drinks! read more

Passable in-and-out neighborhood spot. Burger was pretty good for $22 but included a sad little bunch of fries. Why bother is my thought. I also had chicken enchiladas which were not bad but hard to justify at twenty-something dollars. I doubt anyone is coming to the neighborhood to eat here but as a (first) date spot or booze-oriented taco spot, it's fine. read more

Everything was good and fast and strong. Mojitos de Peña were super strong. The guac was good and the gambas al ajillo. Service was super fast. Very dark inside. I'd say a casual place not too fancy. Still miss the tapas next door at las ramblas. read more

For starters know when you come here the restaurant no longer sells Mexican food. There is a restaurant next door that does which I think is owned by the same owners but I'm not sure. Just don't use these yelp pictures as a reference for Tio Pepe. I bought a voucher for $50 for a bottomless brunch and there was an automatic 18% gratuity on the marked up price so it really wasn't a deal which I found misleading. I would get it if it was on the $50- but this is how some merchants are taking advantage of the app. I've worked with Pulsd for a few years now and they can't automatically do it on the value or at all really. I would've happily tipped on the $50 bc I also didn't like my food but didn't mention it because I felt like it was a deal and didn't want to complain to the family business! The people working were kind! Had no issue with the people at all. I didn't like my food personally, but I would've recommended it to people if I didn't feel scammed on the automatic tip on $100.... For something I paid $50 for. All in all- drinks were good and the people working were kind. Not a fan of the food. read more

Great service and the decorations were so nice. Our waiter was very warm and welcoming and checked up on us a bunch of times. I shared a large order of the taco platter which comes with 9 tacos. Our favorite was the fish taco and our least favorite was the pork belly. The pineapple mojito was sweet and strong. Looking forward to coming back here for brunch some time. read more

This restaurant was great. We saw the menu and mistakenly thought brunch was available but it turned out that was only in the weekend. The manager had them make us brunch anyway as well as bringing us a delicious guac appetizer. The food was delicious and the people were great. I would highly recommend this restaurant. In addition, my wife and I are both in a keto diet and they were easily able to accommodate us. read more

I love finding places in the city that have been around for a long time but I never stumbled on them. Well my hubs find this lovely spot in the happening area of west 4th and who can pass up tacos!!!

The tacos were pretty good. I tried the Pork Belly and Spicy Chorizo. We also got the Gambas Al Ajillo. This was honestly much too salty. I probably would've rated this place a 3 overall for food, but the service sent them down a notch. Our waitress was SO annoying. She kept standing close by and watching us and aggressively trying to grab our plates that still had food asking "Are you done with this?" I'd understand if it was super busy, but there were so many tables empty that she had no reason to be rushing us the entire time. It was honestly ridiculous. I won't be coming back here. read more

My experience in this restaurant was perfect! We planned to be there for food and drinks the day of my wedding, I contacted them to make a reservation for 24 people. At first I thought it was going to be people sitting around in different tables but the manager Claus helped us to organize the entire event. We had a prefix menu printed with our names in it which was very well thought and prepared for the variety of guests that we had, from meat based dishes to vegetarian food. All my friends were delighted and had a great time. I highly recommend this place not only for dinner but for any kind of events because they have a private area for large number of people. Enjoy! Sangrias were awesome. read more

We stumbled upon this place after brunch in the West Village. We saw the large "margarita" written on their awning and were instantly intrigued lol. For covid precautions the staff were wearing masks and tables outside were spaced several feet apart. We came here mostly for the drinks and some snacks. Started with the guacamole and salsa and both were delicious! We all got margaritas, but they were a little sweet for me. They did have a great brunch special which I would like to try next time. With an entree, you can get bottomless drinks (frozen margs or mimosas) for around $20-30. The service was great! Our waiter checked in on us frequently and was very sweet. read more

Tio Pepe brings an environment of being part of a family. The first time I went to Tio Pepe was for the weekly Sunday Live Jazz entertainment they provide after 6:00 p.m. to the customers, and I loved it. I am not a Jazz person, but the band they have are fun; they joke around and bring people in who want to sing or play along. I honestly had low expectations about the tacos, but I enjoyed them a lot! I love the environment of the place. I've been here a handful more times, and I see this trend continuing! read more

The perfect place for an intimate evening with loved ones and close friends. Please be advised that the menu has shifted (for the better) from the Mexican you see in the photos to traditional Spanish with a hint of Argentinian. The paellas are a must and all of the appetizers were delicious. Would definitely recommend. read more

Very rude waiter. Drinks are very weak and they didn't seem to care much. No sanitizer or toilet paper in the bathroom or near either. Food was also sub par, not all of it was seasoned either. None of which they seemed to be bothered by. Host was informed after assuming that one party guest wanted guacamole that they were deathly allergic to such. Took it away after mixing it with sour cream only to bring it back instead of getting rid of it all together. Me and a friend checked this place out on our weekly food outing and weren't impressed whatsoever. Atmosphere definitely isn't very welcoming either from staff. Was mean read more

Oh Tio Pepe.... What happened to you? I used to come here years ago and never left disappointed. Im giving you 3 stars because both your service and desserts where nice. My friends and I ordered the Guac to share. It was very salty. We had the waiter add more avocado to balance out the flavor but it didn't make it any better. I had the Steak and Fried Eggs, My other friend had the same, and my other friend had what was supposed to be chicken and waffles. We previously asked the waiter if her chicken was fried and he said yes, instead in came out in stew like with potatoes. It didn't look very appetizing. On top of which she stated her waffles were cold. The mimosas were mango juice. We didn't get a buzz at all. Don't believe the hype! read more

My dinner at Tio Pepe was definitely not my idea. The thought of a restaurant with a touristy vibe and a menu covering both Spanish and Mexican dishes carried was of little interest to me. The meal began with crispy tortilla chips and a salsa that was more like tomato sauce than a chunky dip. Thankfully, we had ordered Guacamole as well, which was made-to-order tableside to a heat level of our choice. We opted for a medium spice and loved it. The Paella Marinera was also actually better than I had expected. Flavorful saffron rice had been infused with white fish, shrimp, mussels, clams, and calamari. The mussels, clams, and calamari were all enjoyable, but the shrimp and fish chunks were dry and overcooked. The service was fine, but nothing that really stood out. Overall, Tio Pepe provided a better experience than I had imagined (probably worthy of 2.5 stars), but, at the end of the day, was still a cheesy and mediocre restaurant. read more

Loved this place! The service was so fast and efficient and the food was amazing. The drinks were gigantic too. I came here with a group of four. We started with drinks. I ordered a margarita and was pleasantly surprised at how big it was. We got a bunch of tapas to share. Some of the highlights were the patatas bravas, the shrimp and the meatballs. Ordered another frozen margarita and had some more patatas bravas before finishing up the meal. The manager/owner was nice enough to give us all pomegranate shots before we left! Really fun place. Would return! read more

Their large Taco plate with 9 tacos, guacamole, chips, slaw, cucumber salad and pickled jalapeños was more than enough to feed the three of us. We had porkbelly, fish, chicken and beef tacos. At $40 it was actually a good value. Their bottomless brunch for $20 plus the entree price sounds good enough to warrant another visit. read more
