I wanted to try a new place for Mexican food and I wish I did not go here. I ordered a shrimp burrito and when I picked it up, it was instantly dripping and falling apart. I took a bite and the shrimp was raw! There was barely any rice and no flavor. It was more of a soup than a burrito. The fact that it was $13 is insane when other local places are cheaper, cooked, delicious and the burrito doesn't fall apart. I ended up tossing everything away. I would not go back or recommend this place.

Absolutely AMAZING! We had a nice variety of tacos (Adobado, Birria, and Carne Asada) all were suuuper flavorful juicy with very fresh toppings. Even the Horchata was creamy, with great notes of Cinnamon and Vanilla. Staff were fast, friendly and patient with our choosing. All around suggest and will be back.

The rice in my burrito was completely inedible, it was hard and appeared small like it wasn't throughly cooked or dried out and made the day prior. Consome for the Birria tacos was very bland and just looked and tasted like canned beef broth with cilantro and onions added it to it. The plain old carne asada burrito was ok, but there was some bits of chewy carne asada in there. Lastly the prices listed on the menu compared to what I was charged were off by about $2 per item.

One of a kind salsa is unique and delicious. Very good food. You should try it. Also the decore is original. I haven't seen any decorations like this in the other shops, they all copy the one spot down to the art work. THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC.

We were really happy to see Pepitos back up and running. We thought they weren't going to make it through the pandemic. We had their carnitas, cabeza, adobada and carne asada tacos. Everything was very tasty, although we've had better Carne asada elsewhere. Other than that they've stepped up their hot sauce game and it was so good we are eating tacos again for the second night! If you want authentic Mexican tacos, Pepitos has them! We also found out they are not doing their Thursday taco special anymore, but they are priced well anyway!

Super bummed that the previous owners are gone, this place used to be my favorite and had no idea changed owners until I got my roll tacos and they're totally different. They would be fine they weren't rotten, they smell and taste like moldy cheese. The adobado taco was OK but nothing like the previous food. Huge bummer

Just know, this place ain't it no more.. The meat is super chewy, no doubt people get food poisoning. This lady looked at me straight in the eye with the wrong change, knowing damn well she shorted me money, had to let her know she's shorting me my change. Of course she turned around and got my exact change that was missing, she didn't even need to see my change amount on the receipt, she knew exactly how much was missing..

Awesome service! Friendly and polite. The amount of food is easily shared! Portions incredible. Had carne asada burrito and super flavorful. They did forget to put cheese which I requested however was still good. Rolled tacos spot on. Hubby had Carne Asda chips and it had everything fabulous! Will 100 % return.Please see latest review. Not the same at all. Extremely disappointed

I'm not sure what the amazing posts and pictures are about- we didn't receive food that looked like that and the prices are extremely high. Plusss I got awful food poisoning... will not be returning.

Authentic taqueria serving delicious breakfast burritos, regular burritos, tacos, taquitos also know as rolled tacos & other combo plates. Flavors of this taqueria are unique, fresh & authentic. The breakfast burrito has a nice balance of egg, beans, cheese, potatoes & sour cream. The carne asada burrito is big & filled with mostly juicy steak. No fillers. We also really liked the crunchy rolled tacos. They are crispy goodness polled with lettuce, sour cream & cheese.

Was an enormous fan previous! This place was closed for months with a sign saying family issues. Finally I saw the were open. U fortunately new owners under old name with same menu and NO PRICES LISTED? We spent just over $70.00 Carne Fry Carne chips Side of rice 5 street tacos Quesadilla with carne asasda All was bland. As we.were leaving gal told us other owner went to jail. Shr offered up without my inquiries, food portions were smaller and not what used to be served. Her defense was cost of quality. I understand that! Too bad that not only smaller portions, no flavor at all on anything. Meat was tough and bland. Rice not cooked and also VERY bland. Fries soggy and undercooked. Carne quesadilla was rubbery and not edible. Disgusted and disappointed. We will nit be back . Change the name and stop rifing a decent business coat tails.... NO LONGER PEPITOS AS WE KNEW IT!

Food was good...prices normal but in my opinion one of the best items on the menu is their nachos with whatever meat you want. It is a ver small establushment and does have outside seating.

The vampiro burrito tasted good but they put guacamole when I asked for none. So I couldn't really enjoy it fully. Horchata was meh.
