I came by craving churros -- but I didn't expect to honestly be blown away by how delicious my treat was!
I'd seen a little bit about this place on Instagram and was impressed by the way their products looked but otherwise didn't have any particular expectations.
This spot is off Jordan Lane, north of Popeye's. There's a substantial parking lot and I could hear pleasant Spanish pop music being piped outside when I stepped out of my car.
The inside of the restaurant is more spacious than I thought it would be and there's plenty of seating plus some claw games and other fun stuff. I can see kids/families having a great time here. Of course, not too many kids to be seen at like 1 PM on a Wednesday when I visited...but you get the picture, lol.
My entrance made a bell ring and a staff member came out from the back within a minute. Their menu is in Spanish and English, so no trouble there. They have sweet and savory snacks from churros, fruity ice pops, and ice cream to elotes and tosti locos. They also have drinks like fruit waters and mangonadas.
Like I said, I was definitely craving churros and ice cream, so I ordered the smallest thing that combined both of those, a churro sundae. That wound up being 3 scoops of ice cream and 2 large churros (for only ~$12!!) and it was absolutely way too much for just me, so bring a friend! For what it's worth, I had no trouble at all ordering and paying while speaking English. Rudimentary Spanish (especially for food items) might make your experience a little smoother, but I honestly wouldn't worry about it.
I was allowed to select any combination of ice cream flavors, which was unexpected but very nice. I was a little overwhelmed by the selection but wound up with two scoops of Ferrero Rocher and one scoop of Snickers. Their ice cream is homemade and is super duper creamy and smooth, but for the generous chunks of goodies (like Snickers) mixed in. Both flavors were delicious, but I think I actually liked the Snickers flavor better! Next time.
Also to my surprise and joy, my churros were served warm in the sundae! The combo of hot, crispy, cinnamony churro with cool and smooth ice cream was TO DIE FOR. The churros were absolutely perfect and exactly what I was hoping for when I came in.
I'm so excited to have found this place and look forward to coming back for...
Read moreI genuinely really enjoys Pepitos but I only like when the guys are there to take my order because he actually acknowledges me as a customer every time I come & the lady is there she will peep her head out won’t speak to back in and not even take my order she’s the reason why I’ve left twice without purchasing anything I’m unsure if it’s because she may not speak the best English or what but a wave or something would do better & I really love their mango agua Fresca I come in & order it every time as well as the esquite ( corn in a cup) it’s so good and they always season it well I do not recommend ordering anything that has to do with chips ( hot cheetoes , nachos, etc) the chips are always stale and they’re kinda over priced for them aswell I haven’t gotten to try their birria yet but I’m...
Read moreIf you’re looking for the best Mexican snacks in town, look no further than Pepitos! From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with the mouthwatering aroma of fresh elotes, chamoy-drizzled fruit, and crispy churros. Every bite was packed with authentic flavors, and the quality of the ingredients was top-notch.
Yes, the wait was long—but trust me, it was so worth it. The staff was friendly and worked hard to keep up with the rush, and once our order arrived, we understood why this place is so popular. The aguas frescas were refreshing, the tostilocos had the perfect balance of crunch and spice, and the elote! Absolutely unreal.
If you have the patience for a wait, this spot is a must-visit. I’ll...
