I recently tried Pepes, and although they don't have a taco Tuesday special, I ordered some fish and shrimp tacos for the family and it was fabulous. Will definitely be going back. If you're a fish, shrimp/taco fan you got to give it a try. very hearty tacos and quality food. John.

Average food for way above average prices in a dumpy atmosphere. Never going back. I do not need 85 characters to pan this place.

Dannnnggg the quality of food here has gone down, while the prices have gone up! One chicken taco is now $3.69. That's an outrageous price for something that's no better in quality or even bigger in size than your average taco truck taco. But the taste does not even justify the price. First of all, the last time I had been here which might have been during the pandemic, I remember they were using what were very clearly handmade tortillas. They were delicious, and thick. And a big reason why I used to love this place. Now they're absolutely using tortillas from a bag, and they're not even good. They even tasted like they hadn't even been cooked all the way. Plus I remember when I had gotten chicken tacos here before it was big succulent pieces of grilled chicken. I was blown away by the quality and taste of the tacos before. Now they're using the grisly parts of chicken with very mediocre tortillas from a bag. Super disappointing. Finally I'm also disappointed to see that they're not making homemade agua frescas. I will say though I tried the mole sauce and it was very very good. But all in all the switch from homemade tortillas to bagged tortillas and the downgrade of meat quality is a huge disappointment, not to mention outrageous considering the steep prices

Chorizo breakfast burrito is very tender with cheese. Not greasy and the egg is emulsified with the chorizo creating a great texture like a soft sushi rice

This was my first time here since El Grandenal was here. The horchata is close to the old recipie and the food was awesome. I'll be a regular here.
I walked into this place one evening totally spur of the moment, and since then it has become one of my favorite local places to eat. I eat here all the time now, they recognize me every time, the food is excellent and frankly the prices are great too. Yeah I cannot recommend this place highly enough, seriously. I like the tostadas, but everything they have is really good. 5 stars for sure.

I'm happy I returned to Pepe's today in West Side Costa Mesa. The Mulitas and tamales are delicious. This establishment is clean and welcoming with a friendly staff. I will continue to support this Costa Mesa family establishment.
