The menu showcased a variety of options, but my choice was the 'El Pastor Tacos,' and oh boy, they were a flavor explosion! Each taco was a delicious combination of well-seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and a hint of zest that left my taste buds dancing, topped with a slice of roasted pineapple.

Pepe's Tacos left me truly impressed with their delectable offerings. The Al Pastor tacos were a revelation, boasting succulent meat with a delightful char that added an extra layer of flavor. The incorporation of pineapple provided an exquisite balance between sweet and savory, making each bite a burst of delight. The lack of AC might make it feel a bit hot inside, but the fans offer some respite. Remember to bring cash, as it's a cash-only establishment.

For around $20 USD (350 MXN), we enjoyed a Coca-Cola, a beer, and 6 tacos. While we didn't try their margaritas, the cold Pacifico beer paired wonderfully with the tacos. The sauces were a highlight, offering a quartet of flavors ranging from mild to spicy that added a tantalizing kick; 2 mild red and green sauces, and 2 spicy red and green sauces.

The service was commendable, with a friendly staff ensuring prompt service. I ventured beyond the Al Pastor to sample their carne asada tacos, which though enjoyable, paled in comparison to the culinary masterpiece that is the Al Pastor. The generous portions ensured satisfaction, even though I couldn't resist indulging in four tacos.

Arriving at 1 pm, I waited about 10 minutes for their food prep to conclude, and the wait was more than worth it. I found myself fervently recommending Pepe's Tacos to fellow guests staying at our resort. With operating hours spanning from 1 pm to 6 am daily, this restaurant offers unparalleled convenience. The cleanliness of the establishment, along with its proximity to Malecon and the shoreline, further enhances the dining experience. Restrooms were also well-maintained, adding to the overall positive impression...

My family and I came here after hearing many good things about this place from multiple people. We had been waiting for some good tacos since we booked our trip to PV, so we were really excited to try this place. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. I will say that the wait to be seated wasn’t too bad. Everything went down hill once we were seated though. We were seated for a while and no one paid us any attention, even though the tables around us were being served/tended to. My dad ended up waving down one of the servers/waiter so we could get our order in, which was annoying but they were busy so we were understanding. But the waiter that took our order didn’t speak a word to us, even though we were speak fluent spanish to him. He just kept his head down and eyes on his notepad. Our tacos finally came (we ordered al pastor, chicken and asada) and I can honestly say they were some of the worst tacos I’ve ever had in my life. The tortillas were cold and borderline raw, like they barely touched the comal. The meat was flavorless and very poor quality, not spoiled meat just low quality. Also, they gave us the toppings (onions, cilantro, salsas) when we were almost done with our food, but not even the toppings could save these tasteless tacos. I’m really not picky when it comes to tacos and am pretty open-minded when it comes to trying new places, especially when I’m traveling. So I would save your time and money and avoid this place! We had heard this place was better than Pacho’s Takos but don’t even bother with this place and just go to...
