Senor Pepe's Mexican Restaurant & Lounge

I love Señor Pepe's.  Ever since I moved to Denver I've been missing a go-to Mexican place, and I've finally found it in Señor Pepe's. I love the atmosphere -- divey and a liitle odd (the Top 40 music always makes me laugh), but clean and comfortable. I love how the servers are far more formal than you'd expect (they say things like "and for the lady" and "may I remove your plate?").  I love that it is easy -- there is plenty of parking, never a wait for a table, and zero reason to dress up or anything.  The food is basic Tex Mex, and sometimes that's just what I need. I go for tacos and theirs are just plain good. They don't skimp on the meat or cheese, And the meat is really seasoned.  I do wish they came with beans and rice, it's annoying to have to pay a-la-carte (for the beans AND the rice).  I love their salsa and I'm glad they are generous with it.  They do a great job of refilling drinks and checking up on you.

My main criticism is that they could improve the menu -- there are only a few combination plates, and no appetizers, only dips ( guac and bean dip. The bean dip is obviously just the retried beans with some stuff mixed in and cheese on top).  Also the burritos are kind of weak.  But overall I love this place enough to go here once a week or so since I discovered it.

Generically good Mexican food. Nothing spectacular, but it's close to where we live and has plenty of parking. Vegetarian choices are very limited and all the food is pretty similar. If they had a more diverse menu or veg options I'd give them 4 stars.

Sloppy Mexican type food, don't go here for healthy stuff.  Portions were HUGE. But for locals, I would recommend it.
