Always suspicious about a smaller restaurant with a vast menu, but we were craving a few different things and they had almost everything we wanted so we gave it a shot. Overall, pretty good and it all hit the spot. Free chips, even in to go orders which was cool.
Menudo - 4 stars. good flavor but more soup than meat. Light on the hominy, which is how I like it too. May be my fault for ordering menudo in a weekday, but it was cold out and it sounded good. Will try again sometime and see if ratios improve.
Tostada - 4 stars. was soggy by the time we got it home. Too soggy. We should have asked for it separately meat on the other hand was amazing.
Tacos - 4 stars. Meats ranged from avg to good. Nothing really stood out as amazing but would say asada and carnitas were best. Shrimp and fish were good but a little light meat. Buche and lengua were ok. The hard shell taco was the stand out in this group and you can try with any meat. The barbacoa would be amazing in this.
Salsa - 4.5 stars. both green and red were really good. Great flavors in the green and red had a kick without...
Read moreGreat lunch on this fine taco Tuesday! This review is based on food, service, cleanliness, atmosphere, and value.
The food was great! I had the Carnitas burrito, shrimp taco, and nachos. All were delish! They even brought up some complimentary chips and dippidy-do-das. My favorite was the shrimp taco.
I ordered at the counter. The guy was very friendly, and patient while I decided what to order. The food was brought up to our table very quickly. We had a dog with us, so we sat outside. He even offered to bring our dog some water. I thought that was going the extra mile.
The place was clean, inside, and even the outside seating (which sometimes gets overlooked). Being in a small strip mall, the atmosphere wasn't great, but it was a nice day to sit outside and have lunch. The value is good. The two of us were both stuffed, had leftovers, and it didn't empty my wallet.
Overall, had a great lunch, and I would recommend checking...
Read morePepe Taco is the reason why I don’t forget the name of Azusa. One of my favorite restaurants after enjoying some hiking. We felt so fortunate to arrive there as our last spot. It ended up being a nice experience of one more family reunion before a flight back home. We had over 10 people meet at this place and Pepe’s was just extremely accommodating and welcoming. The ingredients of the food were so well combined with the perfect distribution of flavored just extending themselves in your tastebuds! The first meal only increased my husband’s appetite for more. I had two meals, tacos Al Pastor, and Torta! He had an endless amount of tacos and two different Tortas. The service and the environment were all so incredible, and we look forward to our next visit! Thank you family...
