Pepe's Mexican Restaurant

Ok.. this is not the place to go if you want Aunthentic Mexican food..  If you want a quiet comfortable place to grab a Margarita or cold corona, then I am all for it, especially during the weekday specials.  

Grab a few tacos while you are here... go right ahead.. But keep your expectations low, because the food is somewhat americanized, in my opinion.  

Example:  I ordered enchiladas here during my last visit and they were not very good..  First off, I am not very fond of enchiladas that come drowned in sauce. Secondly, when I order them with cheese, i expect Mexican queso fresco or quesadilla cheese, not american or cheddar cheese.  

Authentic enchiladas are made by dipping the semi-fried tortilla in sauce to lightly coat and flavor them.  By the time they hit your plate, they are normally filled with chicken, or Mexican cheese, and topped off with a dollop of sourcream and a sprinkle of more Mexican cheese.   what i got was a rolled tortilla, with chicken, drowned in bland sauce and covered with cheddar or american cheese (i couldn't tell)..  All big No-No's in my book.

I tend to stick to the carne asada dinner or plain ole'  steak tacos (with cilantro and onion)..  These are probably their best shots at Authentic Mexican food.

This is one of the better Pepe's in the area. Some can really not be very good. The food is served hot and they have never messed up our orders. The service is good and the wait staff is very nice. They have drink specials Monday through Friday.

The dining area is kept too cold in the winter, the margaritas are way too acidic, but the food is ok and it's close to home.   I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to eat here.
