Pepa’s Mexican Restaurant

Love this casual Mexican restaurant! Good food with home made chips and salsa!
We used them for an event (taco set-​up) and they were THE BEST! Easy to work with. They are a husband and wife team, (the owners) and they helped us put a menu together and even allowed a last minute change! The plates, plasticware & napkins were high quality (a lot of taco set ups have cheap flimsy plates and plasticware that break!) They came to our place and set up and took down without a fuss. They were well prepared. They had tables, linens, warming trays, and they themselves were dressed professionally!
Food was great as usual, asada, pollo & al pastor… cooked perfectly! Beans/Rice.yummy, and then they grill fresh onions and jalapenos to get the senses going!
Highly recommend for eating at their establishment or using them for a casual catering event

If your looking for Authentic Mexican food in a casual atmosphere this is the ONLY place in North Fresno you can get it! I just wish I spoke Spanish to understand the Tela Novela’s they have playing ;)

Breakfast burrito is AMAZING! Will def come back here to try their other food on the menu.

Nothing real special about this place. Got a breakfast burrito and for $ 4.50 it was decent, but the food was not very good quality. The people were nice and the service was pretty good, but I doubt I’ll be back anytime soon.

I’ve only had the breakfast burritos from here but they are the best I’ve had from any restaurant. Salsa is very tasty too!

Menudo is excellent homemade corn tortillas puts it up there with the best Green salsa is really good!!!

I had the shredded beef burrito, it was good but what I would expect at a lot of places. My friend got the fish tacos and he said the same. The chips and salsa were excellent though. Probably a good everyday Mexican place but I was looking for some in your face flavor.

Cheap and they serve A LOT of food! The shredded beef I had was AMAZING! Awesome place I will definitely go again

Way Better than casa corona. Very affordable and very tasty. Will be coming back .
My mom got birria, amazing
I got the sope and enchilada combo.

I ordered the 2 sopes combo plate and the hubby had the 2 enchiladas combo plate, they were reasonably priced. I was able to choose 2 different meats, I had tripas and chicken. The meats lacked seasoning perhaps some salt. Rice and beans were yummy. The enchiladas were filled with shredded beef, sauce was great. We definetly liked the red salsa with our chips, the green one just tasted like a hot green chile. We were able to get the salsa refilled. I would recommend this place for a lunch run, not somewhere I enjoyed sitting and having a bite.

The breakfast burritos were large and tasted homemade.

Definitely, much closer to 3.5 stars but, sadly, thats not an option. Kind of a gripe that i have to grade at either A+, B, or D, but i guess it averages out on its own.
With that said, I usually don’t like to leave reviews unless i’m in love with the spot, but i figured if i’m going to Unilocal,might as well shoot for elite.
BOOM!!!
Me and my lady have eaten here a few times, and she seems to love it. I cant say for sure if i’d ever dine here on my own, although the food is not bad, at all.
We, usually, split a bacon, egg, cheese, and potato filled burrito, which is pretty enjoyable. It’s a good size and the tortilla is nice and toasty. Add guac and sour cream if you’re feeling frisky. ;)
I’ve had the chili verde plate as well, pretty meh, overall. wouldn’t order it again.
I’ve been to damn near 100 million mexican joints, in Fresno, and id put it somewhere slightly above average.
You do get complimentary chips served with their red and green salsas, which is always a plus.
I’m sure i will be back, so ill try a few of their dishes, and hopefully, update with a much more charismatic review.

Great customer service, yummy food! This is right around the corner from my house and it is my favorite Mexican food! I found this place because I was sick of casa corona constantly messing up my order and then never fixing it, I’m so glad I found them because they blow casa corona out of the water! Thanks for being awesome!

I like this place, the food taste fresh, the owner always smiling and talks to us. Very nice family owned Mexican Resturant.

Just passing through and found this place. It’s a small restaurant but not with their portions! OMG I ordered the burrito supreme and could only finish half of it! It was packed with soft and juicy shredded chicken, fresh crispy lettuce, the best rice and beans I’ve had in a while and creamy guacamole and sour cream. The favors were amazing! My husband got the carnitas plate and he was very pleased! He’s a picky eater so being happy with this place is a huge plus! The dishes we got were made fresh. And so were the homemade tortillas. We will definitely be back again!

Awesome food and service. Everyone at the table loved what they ordered. The only reason I didn’t rate it a 5 is because they forgot a couple of special requests on our orders. Not a big deal though, we were a party of six.
This may be my new favourite Mexican restaurant in Fresno

Asada burrito with everything is amazing. Their salsas are pretty good. The green spicy one is my favorite. Nice customer service, not the cleanest location.

The food was freshly made and delicious.
The gorditas and sopes were good. The rice and beans taste good.
The service was good.
They serve beer in buckets.

I have tried most of the tacos and I liked them all. I have settled on their fish tacos and I really like them. They grill the fish instead of frying it. I think they could use a bit more fish in them but they are still very good. Their salsas are OK but I’m not a big fan of the verde (jalpapeno) salsa. It’s OK though and the red salsa works well for dipping chips. As an added bonus they have cerveza.
The bottom line is I really like this place and I go there often.

If you want something casual and inexpensive, try Pepa’s, at Cedar & Herndon near the new R&N & Shenanigans. Family owned, they also cater.
The tamales are yummy, even the chicken ones that have a little kick (I normally don’t like chicken w/​Mexican food).
The chile rojo burrito is waaay better than Casa Corona if you like it to taste more like chili (yes, chili as in Frito pie, old fashioned chili flavor, and not necessarily ‘chile’) it’s dark, and more dry, like a rub, in a sense. I prefer no onions or beans, add cheese & rice.
My guy loves the breakfast burritos *he orders them for lunch & at night
Taco favorites are their adobado which isn’t ‘sweet’…
I’m not sure if they add pineapples like some Mexican places do, but it’s good and similar to the chile rojo (with almost a dry rub seasoning)
& carne asada tacos are good too.
Chips are nothing special, but salsas are excellent & their beer is inexpensive.
Highly recommend their catering, they will set up, and heat up corn tortillas, and provide a taco bar, complete with cabbage, salsa, rice & beans.
During the summer months it can be pretty warm inside the restaurant…
