Here’s a polished, positive food review for Pepe’s Cantina in St. Petersburg that highlights your server Addie:

⸻

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Amazing Food & Even Better Service!

I had an incredible dining experience at Pepe’s Cantina in St. Petersburg. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, with a fun, authentic vibe that made me feel like I was in the heart of Mexico.

The food was outstanding — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I tried the [insert your favorite dish here, e.g., street tacos and fresh guacamole], and they were absolute perfection. The flavors were bold without being overpowering, and you could really tell the ingredients were top quality.

What really made the night special, though, was our server Addie. She was warm, attentive, and had such a genuine, friendly personality. She knew the menu inside and out, offered great recommendations, and made sure our glasses were never empty. It’s rare to find service that feels both professional and personal, but Addie nailed it.

Between the amazing food and Addie’s top-notch service, Pepe’s Cantina has definitely become one of my go-to spots in St. Pete. I’ll be back soon — and I’ll be asking for Addie!

If I could give Pepe Cantina 10 stars, I would. Scratch that—a whole galaxy of stars. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something special. The aroma hit me like a warm hug from abuela herself—charred street corn, sizzling fajitas, fresh lime and cilantro dancing in the air. Pure heaven.

But let’s talk about the true legend of the night—Dez. This man isn’t just a waiter. He’s a culinary hype man, a vibe curator, a guacamole whisperer. Dez didn’t just take our order—he guided us through the menu like a Michelin-starred sommelier of tacos. He recommended the birria tacos (bless him), and they quite literally made me emotional. I shed a single tear of joy after the first bite. True story.

His timing? Impeccable. His energy? 1000/10. His smile? Could light up a stadium. And don’t get me started on how he handled our endless chip refills—it was like watching a ninja in action.

The margaritas? Dangerous—in the best way possible. The queso? Life-changing. The churros? Crispy, fluffy magic wands dusted in sugar.

Pepe Cantina is no ordinary restaurant—it’s an experience. And Dez? Dez is the MVP. Do yourself a favor. Go. Order everything. Tip Dez like he’s your spiritual guide. Because after tonight, Pepe Cantina has my heart—and Dez is forever my waiter...

A True Gem at Pepe’s – Jasmine is Outstanding!

From the moment we sat down at Pepe’s Cantina, we were lucky enough to be greeted and taken care of by Jasmine—and wow, what an experience she created for us! Her energy was infectious, her attention to detail was flawless, and her genuine hospitality made our visit feel more like a celebration than just dinner.

Jasmine didn’t just take our order—she guided us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations, offered the perfect balance of attentiveness and space, and handled every request with grace and a smile. Her timing was impeccable, our drinks never ran dry, and she anticipated our needs before we even had to ask.

It’s rare to find someone who clearly loves what they do and takes pride in making every guest feel valued—but Jasmine does just that. She elevated our entire experience and left a lasting impression. Honestly, if every restaurant had a Jasmine, the world would dine out a lot more often!

Management—please know you have an absolute rockstar on your team. Jasmine isn’t just good, she’s phenomenal. She represents Pepe’s Cantina with professionalism, heart, and true talent. She deserves every bit of recognition and more.

We’ll be back soon—and we’ll definitely be asking for...

This is not authentic Mexican food. If “fake it till you make it” opened a Mexican restaurant, this would be it. I genuinely wanted to like this place as it’s within walking distance of my home in Kenwood…but the experience was a letdown from start to finish. Let’s start with the free chips and salsa: broken chips and the tiniest cup of salsa you’ve ever seen….barely enough for a few bites. (See photo for reference.) I ordered the chicken enchiladas and honestly wish I hadn’t. The texture was rubbery, like they’d been reheated or left under a heat lamp too long. Just… sad. The mixed fajitas for two didn’t fare much better. The meat was dried out and oddly oily at the same time. Worst part? I ordered the double portion, and halfway through the meal, the server casually asked, “Did you still want the other half?” Of course I did—it was part of what I paid for. As a Kenwood local, I hate writing negative reviews about neighborhood spots. But I also don’t want others to waste a night out. My advice? Either skip it or walk in with very low expectations. To the franchisee: you’ve got a great location, but if the food and service don’t improve, this place will join the long list of one-year-wonders in Kenwood.

Don't let the strip mall location fool you - Pepe's Cantina delivers great Tex-Mex that exceeded my expectations. As a newer place, they're clearly putting effort into their food preparation and it shows. The chimichanga was expertly prepared and beautifully plated with a nice selection of toppings on the side. The complimentary chips and salsa were a nice touch and arrived promptly. The menu leans more toward Tex-Mex fusion rather than traditional Mexican cuisine, which works well for their concept. Two minor drawbacks kept this from being a five-star experience: they serve Pepsi products instead of Coca-Cola (a personal preference issue), and the lunch service felt rushed. While the food arrived quickly, my server seemed disengaged and didn't acknowledge my thanks, which affected the overall dining atmosphere. Despite the service hiccup, the food quality and value make Pepe's Cantina worth a visit. I'd be curious to try dinner service to see if the pace allows for better hospitality. The kitchen clearly knows what they're doing - hopefully the front-of-house experience will catch up to match the quality of what's coming from the back.

My first time at Pepe's was amazing! The food, the service, the vibe, everything perfect! Our waiter, Carlos was phenomenal, but later found out he is the GM and was just helping out by taking a table or two to help out his waitstaff (that's the kind of leader you need running things). I got to meet Jose the owner, who designed the wonderful environment, he was super nice and you could tell how much he cared about every detail. So of course, we went back again. Never that good twice, right? Wrong! Enter TAY!!! She was absolutely the best, the perfect combination of great service and a little sass;-). Her recommendations were spot on, especially, the $22 pitcher of Margs on Wednesday and the flan. On the way out, we got to talk with our hostess with the mostest, just a great human and perfect as the first face you see when you enter the restaurant. I'll be going back for my birthday dinner in a few weeks. Why would I want to celebrate my bday at any other restaurant???, when I feel like the staff is already family. Not to mention, the fajitas are fabulous! Thanks guys! I highly recommend!!!
