Have to say... This Restaurant has the BEST Mexican Meals/Recipes by far in the High Desert! The Chili Verde Burrito was hands down PERFECTION! The sauce was not too spicy yet was very flavorful. It's a "must try'! My husband ordered the " Fajita Burrito (Chicken)" I believe it was. Said it was wonderful but could have had more avocado slices inside the burrito. We had a nice friendly conversation with our waiter which was nice. The food was hot, delicious, appetizing and in my eyes... PERFECT! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT! I know that my husband and I would like to return to try other items off their superb menu choices!

I've been coming to El Tio Pepe for about a decade, I've also been one of the members of the security team as a second job. I don't work there anymore as I live in Arizona now. The food: Tvis is real, authentic Mexican food! I pretty much like EVERYTHING on the menu. My favorites though as the fish dishes and Albondigas. The rice and beans are always pleasing sided. I like things spiced up a little, and they aim to please. The service: you don't see a high turnaround here, many of the wait staff are "generational", meaning "Mom worked there, and when daughter or son was old enough, they did too". Always pleasant, they address you by name once they know it. So, you do feel that close connection. The owner: You see him there! He's present! He also eats there, so does his son. So, figure that! If the owner eats there, he's eating what he likes and or meets his expectations. Mood, the owner, he'd also always wandering around ex and he will ask you about your experience there, and if you do engage him in conversation, he will sit at your table with you and talk. He also proactively asks if anything can be improved, what would it be. Mike had owned this restaurant for a very long time. So, you're wondering who only FOUR stars, well, how I rate things, 5 stars is truly exceptional, like curing cancer! So, four is my "grade A". I love this restaurant, I am always treated like a KING here, regardless of if I am working here or not. That said, anytime I come though to California to visit relatives, I'll be coming here. Also, factor in that I bring my mother when I do visit the restaurant, that should tell you something. Mike, Shiela, and staff, thank you for the decade of memories and good food. -Dennis Show Low, AZ.

Food was just okay. Except the tamale... it was terrible! An inch of masa all the way around less than a tablespoon of filling. Dry and tasteless.We were the only ones in the restaurant and the waitress really seemed like we were bothering her. I sat with an empty ice tea cup for a over half my meal. She was no where to be found. When I asked her for more when she came out to collect our money (almost $100 for two adults and a child with the tip I really didn't feel she deserved). She acted like I was an inconvenience. I've had better tamales at Del Taco.... and that's not saying much.
El Tío Pepe is truly a gem in the High Desert! My husband and I stumbled upon this place while driving down Palmdale rd one day and decided to try it! We were pleasantly surprised by the food. Food was cooked to order nice and hot and delicious. I'm a combination plate kinda girl I ordered the Taco and enchilada plate and let me tell you they did not skimp on the cheese for my enchilada. The shredded beef taco was nice and crunchy and the meat was juicy and flavorful. Service was great they greet you with chips and salsa which were both homemade and delicious. Servers were attentive and kept checking in on us to see if we were ok. The ambiance is very nice cozy and quaint with beautiful stained windows all around. You can feel the humility in this place and the kindness when you walk in. I love supporting businesses like such. We will be back for sure. Give it a try!

The food was by far the absolute worst thing on earth. Food was not even warm, my ? rellano was swimming in oil. I will never eat or step foot in this restaurant again. The service was good, nice friendly people, than again they are the same waiters from bear valley, good service, just terrible food.
Loved this place.
