Pepe Delgados

I looked at reviews for this place online before going. Sadly, many of the reviews didn't paint an accurate picture, so my experience was not as expected.

The biggest inaccuracy is the pricing. I assumed from previous reviews and the general appeal of the restaurant/bar that Pepe Delgados would have cheaper Mexican food. Oddly, there is a dinner and lunch pricing difference. Really? For a self-service, counter-ordered, hole-in-the-wall restaurant? Dinner prices per person were between $10-14 and sadly the portions were not at all impressive.

Which brings me to the food. To me, the food was slightly worse than average, and tasted similar to many 24 hour drive-thru Mexican joints. Honestly I could find the same quality and amount of food for probably $5-7 per person at a round-the-clock drive-thru. I got the chicken fajitas. It came on a small plate with two very small tortillas. No cheese or tomatoes and some odd "avocado sauce" which was green but I can't imagine was made with a real avocado because it was runny and had no taste. The sour cream was also runny and ran all over the plate. I couldn't believe the small portion size and lack of suitable toppings for my two small tortillas.

To summarize, the food tasted fine but portions were small and prices are higher than expected and vary throughout the day. I probably won't ever go back - not because it was bad, but because I can easily get the same food somewhere else for half the cost.
