My experience at Pepe's Mexican Restaurant was absolutely wonderful. I just moved here from Michigan, and haven't been able to find a decent Mexican restaurant until now. Living in Michigan, I tried every Mexican place I could and judged them by the taste of their food, sauce, Margaritas, service, and even the decor! This place was clean, the atmosphere was relaxed, the lighting is perfect, the decor was beautiful, along with the Mural that was painted across the back wall. They also have a jukebox! Shout out to our waiter, Santino! He was kind, polite, funny, and extremely welcoming and helpful. He definitely went above and beyond and for my first time there, it was much appreciated! I have been to Mexican restaurants all over Michigan, and a few here in Indiana...not ONE compares to the flavor of the meat, beans, rice, and vegetables that they serve here. The salsa and the Verde that they serve is also flavorful, and by far the best I've had in any restaurant. The Margaritas that Santino prepared were also some of the best I've ever had. Sometimes I have to choke drinks down because they don't taste right. Not here! 10/10 would absolutely recommend! 🫶🖤☺️

My first impression was “wow, the decor is super nice” and it is a cozy place. I judge my Mexican restaurants on a few things. First their chips and salsa. I’m disappointed in the chips. They are super hard and do taste store bought. I hope that isn’t the case but I’m not in love with them at all. The salsa is super yummy though I must add. I ordered steak tacos. They came out just as I ordered. I hate cilantro. They accommodated my request which is another thing I compare restaurants with. Soap is not my favorite flavor and that’s what cilantro tastes like to me. Third and final “yum” factor is the guacamole. I should say this is the most important! Theirs was perfect. If they would only had better chips for my meal, I would have given 5 stars!

We came to this establishment for my significant others birthday. We had a party of 7. The menu prices did not reflect the price of the meals. We were not told this prior to ordering. Only 5 ended up ordering meals, 2 drank water and had some appetizers. We had to ask the waitress 5 times for salt. My son never got his fried ice cream and she still tried charging us for it. They added TWENTY PERCENT gratuity ($40) for an incompetent waitress that gave poor service and did not make us aware of incorrect menu pricing. We are all boycotting this establishment and Pepe's as a whole. This was a horrible experience and a huge scam. I advise anyone to steer clear of this place. DO NOT DINE HERE! GO FIND AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CUISINE WITH GOOD FOOD AND SERVICE WORTHY OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY! ALL THESE PLACES USE INFLATION AS AN EXCUSE. WE AS CUSTOMERS ARE PAYING MORE MONEY AND WE DESERVE MORE. WE WORK HARD TO BE ABLE TO PAY TO GO OUT AND EAT AND YOU SHOULD BE EARNING OUR BUSINESS! BOYCOTT PEPES! #ThePricesDontAddUpToTheService

I hadn't been to Pepe's since the early 2000s. My fav order was always the pork nachos. While these were ok, they didnt compare to my memory of them. The pork didnt have a lot of flavor. My daughter ordered a steak quesadilla...now that was delicious. It came with pico de gallo and she ordered a small queso to drizzle on it. They bring you a basket of chips with thee smallest bowl of salsa I have ever seen. I asked for a second one just so that both of us could eat some. If you pay using anything but cash, its an additional 3.9% charge. All tabs include a 15% gratuity even for a party of 1. Adding sour cream or peppers or any condiments is extra. They do not wish to give to go drinks. I can drink as many as I want sitting but asking for a cup to take what you didnt finish is not expected. Guess I've lived outside of the Region too long...
