The elusive video store... they are so hard to find nowadays in the era of streaming movies and…read morerental kiosks. When I see a video store, it always brings a smile to my face. This spot used to have another name (I think it was Video Hut), and we found out it was closing at the end of 2018, so we were sad. It's so nice to have a video store withing walking distance. We were happy to know that the new owner of the storefront was not some gentrified expensive business or coffee house, but rather another person that wanted to continue the video store, so we scored. I remember the video store experience from when I was a kid. It's always nice to be able to peruse the movies by hand, and find something that maybe you weren't expecting to be good or interesting. The store is neat, and they offer a selection of not only brand new movies (they get them pretty quickly, and the discs are always kept in perfect condition by the store, so no worries about getting scratched discs like often happens with RedBox or Netflix). They also often have multiple copies, so you can probably get a new release without worrying that everyone rented them out. Alex Video offers both DVD and Blu-Ray movies (sometimes the same movie in both formats). They have a good section of movies for kids, as well as older movies, not just new releases. They also offer movies for sale sometimes. They also have a small selection of games for rent, as well as popcorn and snacks for movie night! The staff is all very nice and friendly, and they speak English and Spanish to cater to the Highland Park community. If you're looking for an actual video rental spot, please check out Alex Video!

A lot to choose from. In addition, the prices are great. The owners are very nice people. It's really great to support a local business. Also, I can't think of any other video store nearby. I will be back again, again, and again. I encourage you all to do the same.

We went to the store around afternoon time. The staff greeted us as we walked in. The store was so big and had so much stuff, took us a while to go around each aisle. I personally liked the Avengers character figures. It was nostalgic to see hundreds of CDs and DVDs again but I didn't buy any since I do not have any CD/DVD players anymore. Prices of the items were good. A lot of them had sale on them.

I bought my first Money Gram today after a botched effort to send cash via western union from Von's in Pasadena. The machine was down. What's new from this overpriced creepy supermarket? "Do you know of anywhere else" says I to the manager. (insert silence) I'm winging it. Orange Grove is a street where I seem to remember a 7-11 being. Bingo! For some reason the pretty Latin girl at the register is helpful and sympathetic as she goes out of her way to help us out. We are given directions to Pepe's with warm smiles sent our way and we are off with gratitude. I park on the street and find myself in a crowded colorful video rental store. Latin flags are everywhere. Movies, cell phones, phone cards, check cashing and bill paying services are all available and sold by bilingual staff. These guys feel me when I send my cash to Guatemala via money gram. (On sale today only $5 for every fifty sent!) My eyes are met with total and unconditional support when I say one word: "Refugees." I didn't need to say anything else. I learn that the cashier's sister is in Africa teaching and that his extra cash makes it's way to her. His sister is beautiful like the children standing next to her in the photograph that she is trying to save. It's easy to take our freedom for granted, to close our eyes to anyone different, to forget that we are in this shit together, we are cut from the same cloth, we breathe the same air and we bleed the same color, no matter where we came from. I am not just part of a country, state or city and neither are you, we are part of the human race and we are not winning this race when so many of us are losing. I bought another day for a family far away from freedom, phone cards for my friends to call me from and stock in my ideals that are not just talk. Pepe's is a place effervescent with compassion and the epitome of tolerance. The definition of tolerance is one that I will never really know and never master but my life will be well spent trying to.

It is run by these Asian folks that are cool as hell. They have a cool variety of movies you can rent, you can even rent some ASIAN MOVIES ASWELL! POSITIVES: -Pretty cool parking lot. -Great customer service. -Nice, clean and organized place. -XXX section for all you pervs! HAHAHHAA! -They also sell some CHEAP popcorn packs if you wanna eat popcorn while watching the movie you rented. NEGATIVES: -With all the Asian movies they have, I'm surprised that they don't have "Battle Royale" or the REAL KOREAN version of "My Sassy Girl". -They need to start getting more BLU-RAY discs and more VIDEO GAMES. -I don't like the fact that Blockbuster closes LATER than "Now On DVD", because that means it leaves me no choice but to go rent at Blockbuster. FINAL THOUGHTS: -There are a lot more cool secrets about this place, but you will have to find out yourself! hahaha! (no, it's not a secret massage parlor! hahaha) -This is THE BEST NON-CHAIN video rental place in Carson...reminds me of a better version of the old Triple 7 Video (R.I.P., now Pizza Patron took over), but bigger! -A few miles down, "M's VIDEO" SUCKS...I hate that place! I used to work there with one of the old owners and they ripped me off back then!
