I looked them up in advance and was really excited to go. when i got there, i was even more blown away. the prices were fantastic and when i saw my FOOD and the PORTION SIZE i was simply in heaven the flavor of the food only made it better. so glad i found this place. it might be hard to tell in this photo, but those plates are huge. i truly did not think i was going to finish it all but best believe i found room ”
“ I always love Pepinos. It’s delicious and reliable food for a better price than Por que no down the street. The restaurant is rather dirty, especially the bathrooms. It’s right on Hawthorn so it can be noisy when the back garage door is open. But when it’s open there’s lots of extra seats, which is appreciated. Love the chips and the choice of all the sauces. ”
“ I've been coming here since I was a kid! All of their specialty burritos are delicious! I also love their taquitos, and love to get a chicken quesadilla! I think the chicken is the best here with their Hot salsa! Chips are that perfect crunch! The only thing that would put this place over the top is if they created a specialty margarita menu! ”
“ Very happy the prices and quality of food is still good. ”
“ My first experience! This place is so dope! The people and atmosphere are so chill and the food, quality for price is unbeatable. This is a business that I will be supporting at least 2-3 times a month! ”
