Pepita's Cafe — Restaurant in National City

• NEW UPDATED REVIEW *

My wife and I love having breakfast at Pepita's outdoor patio and enjoy the owner's hospitality and attention to detail. You always are made welcome by Chuy, the owner and his daughter Alejandra. The food has that special homemade taste just like my grandmother used to make including the flour tortillas that are included in our breakfast. We will certainly be back for breakfast and maybe lunch and try other items in their menu. Highly recommended.

We didn't leave a tip since he gave himself a large tip. Wont go there anymore. If you eat there keep track of the prices and get an...

First time eating here and definitely not the last. Started with tortilla chips topped with fresh refried beans. Like Fresh fresh. Couldn't stop eating them. The salsa also was amazing. I forgot I had came for Menudo because the beans, chips and salsa were so good. The menudo was also delicious and came in a good portion with all the fixings on the side. The people are also very kind. It's a great establishment and would...
