This place has been serving up Chorizo El Pepinos since the 80's. Start with a nacho plate, and a Negro Modelo and the rest of the day will be Gucci.

I’ve been going to Pepinos for years but today was my worst experience,I took my sister there for Lunch (her first time there) we both ordered a Taco Salad,It was horrible,no ground beef at all they put Chili on it (with no beef at all) I’ve had the Taco Salads before & they were delicious with the seasoned beef! Also,The Guacamole was gross,it used to be the best around,what’s happening?Why change recipes or is it whoever is in the kitchen?

Wife and I stopped in for lunch today Food was some of the most unseasoned food I've ever eaten in my life. We each got a combo plate with chicken enchiladas, chorizo burrito and chorizo tacos. The chorizo taste like unseasoned and over oiled ground beef, the chicken tasted boiled and like it had not ever seen a flake of salt or pepper. The food took also about half an hour to get to our table even though we were one of 4 tables. Lady at the counter was at least nice but probably won't return.

Uhh... So all chicken dishes EXCEPT for the chicken fajita (apparently) come UNSEASONED. I'm talkin' bleached-flour-white chicken meat, NOTHING ON IT -AND THIS IS "USUAL". Probably the most disappointing chicken taco I've ever put in my mouth, holy God. I get that Maine is WHITE, but I didn't know y'all were THAT white!!! ?The nacho plate with beef came with SEASONED BEEF, and it was a huge portion, couldn't even finish it, so that was your saving grace, Pepinos.

Great place! My favorite place to stop for a quick bite. Originally from NM, so I take my tacos seriously and I love their style.

Stopped here for lunch today while in Bangor for work. This is not a sit down restaurant, but you do counter service then there are tables to eat at. The service was friendly and quick. They have a bar and different types of beers and even out door seating. The food was super fresh. I got the tacos and the soup and they were amazing and like I said sooo FRESH! My only compliant is that the chips were stale( but you get them for free). I will for sure come back and try some different stuff!

Without a doubt the absolute place to be if you want some great food prepared and served by amazing people! I’ve been a few times now and even when they’re busy the wait for an order has never been long enough to cause an issue. An amazing atmosphere inside the restaurant and out on the patio, you can sit back, relax and sip on a margarita that is by far more superior to any other contender that I’ve come across. Do yourself a favor and stop in sometime. Enjoy some on the house tortilla chips with salsa while you sip that ever so amazing margarita and enjoy that entree that comes out fresh, hot and jam packed with more flavor than you could have ever expected! These guys have been doing such an amazing job! It has been an absolute pleasure to say the very least to not only give them my business but to share them with everyone I can that’s looking for another amazing place to spend some of that hard earned money of theirs! Can’t thank them enough for being who they are and doing what they do❤️??? ??

Found this place while driving up to Baxter state park from nyc. This place is more texmex style food but i was pleasantly surprised with the taste and freshness of ingredients, especially for the lower price. They also had a red and green salsas to add.I would recommend and come back again.
