  I hate writing negative reviews but good lord. Worse Mexican food ever. The "salsa" was juice drained out of a can of stewed tomatoes. WTF? Beef in the burritos had that old meat taste and the shrimp in my date's fajitas were canned. I was totally embarrassed. She gave me dirty looks all night.

  The food was what I expected of Pepe's. The service sucked. They have no concept of customer service or ensuring repeat visits. I'll drive an extra 10 minutes out of my way to the Pepe's in Calumet City before I go back there.

  Cheap food, great price!  Love this place.  Only one issue though.  They don't have Coke or Pepsi.  WTF?

  It seems like it's been maybe 20 years since I've been in a Pepe's.  This one was decent, and I must admit that the menu was more extensive than I remembered a Pepe's to have (thinking it was more like a hybrid sitdown-fast food Mexican place).  Service was good, and there were plenty of private tables. I had a chili relleno lunch, with two peppers.  It was decent tasting, but the peppers were soft and mushy like spinach, and I've never had one quite so mushy.

  This is a really good Restaurant.  I've never had a bad meal here.  My favorites?  Everything !  Pepe's is an original Chicago own business.  And is named after the Great Mexican Actor  "Cantiflas".  Other restaurants may advertise "Authentic Mexican Food", Pepe's advertises with taste.  Check out the Carne Asada a la Mexicana, Spicy, (Cooked with Fresh Jalepeno peppers), Bite size chunks of Flank Steak, sauteed with tomatoes, Garlic, Onions, Peppers and Spices.  Served with Beans, Rice and Tortillas.  Top it off with a Large Margarita (Many Flavors) and you'll know you've just enjoyed a Taste of Mexico.  The menu has a number of delicious dishes.  The other half of the PePe's Building is a "Sports Bar".  Drinks are excellent and it's a Great Place to watch a "BEARS" Game.  How do you know if its a good mexican restaurant?  Watch the locals, they're forehead will be covered with SWEAT.  The foods that good (and hot).
