Pepe's Mexican Restaurants

You MUST go. This is best dining experience you will ever find. Date night, or just time with friends. Nowhere compares. The staff is welcoming and spirited, they begin to know you and your preferences. It’s the small things like that in which make a difference. The spicy jalapeños, pitcher of water, extra sauces- They take good care of me. They have TouchTunes for a Jukebox which is via iPhone and I love playing the music while I enjoy the “experience”. This is not a “meal” but rather an “experience,” very much so. The guacamole and avocado is very fresh, as is the chips. The drink menu is vast and they take pride in the appearance of their drinks and food as well, which I care about aesthetically. Don’t let the exterior of the location ill your perspective or expectations. This beats every Mexican restaurant between Joliet and Champaign. You’ll never go wrong coming here. Try it above all. They also try and decorate for the holidays which adds to their festive nature and environment,

I enjoy going to this location for the half price margaritas every Tuesday and Thursday. These drinks have a good amount of alcohol in them, they aren’t watered down and they taste really good. I love their chips and salsa, and the food isn’t bad either. I will say to check your bill before paying. They do add a 20% gratuity. I’m not sure if that is just with dinner service or with the half price margarita days or both, but be mindful of this when tipping. Also, their suggested gratuity includes the tax in the calculation; typically it’s calculated without tax. Overall this is a good spot to have a drink and hang out with friends.

The Mayan Combination as well as two other appetizers. Simply pure perfection. Good old fashioned Mexican style comfort food. Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: No Takeout: Yes Curbside pickup: Yes … More
