As devoted locals and regulars at Pepitos we've had the pleasure of enjoying countless wonderful dining experiences here. However, what truly makes each visit exceptional is the presence of our beloved server, Alex. His outstanding service and warm personality have us coming back time and time again.

But that's not all – Pepitos recently underwent a renovation, and the result is beautiful. As someone from the restaurant industry having built locations and managing several hundred locations its easy to appreciate what the team has done here. They also have a stage and a nice separate dining room. . The restaurant now boasts a beautiful ambiance that complements the wonderful cuisine perfectly.

On one occasion, we were reminiscing about a particular meal we had enjoyed weeks ago but couldn't quite remember all the details. Without skipping a beat, Alex came to our rescue, reminding us of every element of that delightful dining experience. It's as if he has a photographic memory specifically for our preferences!

We're already looking forward to our next delightful...

Even with all the renovations in the changing of the restaurant the prices are outrageous for the portions that you receive. Like the small cup queso with a sprinkle of chorizo for 11.00 priced over the top. The chimichanga for a lot of money, everywhere else you get two good sized chimichangas for the same price and they're way better tasting and prepared. My burrito for 14.00 is all rice nothing much of anything else. It's a rip off. It comes with nothing and isn't worth the price. The rice tasted as of it's been sitting in a rice cooker for 12 hours and definitely wasn't fresh and very bland no seasoning. The ice tea is expensive also was very weak and see through like it was watered down or not made correctly. Tea is not expensive to make. Plus the atmosphere could be a heck of a lot more inviting and personable. The server we had my husband and I was horrible she was slow, rude, inattentive and just seemed to be bother to have to be waiting on us. She never checked on us after the food was delivered after we waited 15-20 minutes for our food that came out luke warm at best. She didn't want to have to wait for us to finish our meals and was very very pushy and seemed super agitated to have to do her job. With her being so horrendously rude and aggravated and unprofessionally pushy we just got to go containers for our food. When we got our bill there was a charge for using your debit or credit card which I thought was illegal to do so if you paid cash you got a better deal so the waitress besides being pushy and aggravated and unprofessionally rude she didn't get a very good tip because I wasn't going to pay her a good tip and pay $3 for a charge for using my debit card. Which I believe is illegal but it seems anything goes at this mediocre want to be Mexican restaurant. We'll never return I'll go across town to Pepper's their Mexican restaurant is a lot more professional and inviting, the food is more delicious and work the money, I'll spend my hard earned money there instead. I'll make sure everyone i know and come in contact with knows to go somewhere else instead of wasting their money. Pepitos is no Chapalas and never will come close. Stop fronting like you're a fabulous Mexican restaurant when you're no better than going to Taco Bell, you're not fine dining give it up. Never ever again. Waste of time...
