“ I called and placed a large pick up order tonight and the person who took my order (I believe his name was Mikey) was on point. He repeated my order back to me (in the order I gave it to him, so that was awesome!) and he let me know that it would be about 15-20 minutes which was surprisingly quick for a $60 order. I thought it would have taken about 39 minutes to be honest). I arrived about 20 minutes after I ordered, and not only was it actually ready when I got there, but it was already packed up for me AND in a box, not just a bunch of bags which made it easier to transport home. Everything was still hot when I got home, and everything was super delicious. We ordered the carnitas taco salad, asada plate, chorizo and egg only burrito, the burger tacos (no pickles, no thousand island) and a quesadilla that we all split as an appetizer. The only thing that was missing was the green sauce in the quesadilla, but I didn’t mind at all. ”
“ This place is good, but the refried beans are incredible. I have other restaurants I prefer for other dishes, but no one has ever made beans the way Pepe's makes beans. Their enchilada sauce is also great. Additionally, the bathrooms are locked with a code you get on your receipt, so they are really clean. You order at the counter and they give you a number. They have plenty of outdoor seating, and they bring your meal to you once it’s ready. They also bring red and green salsa with your meal. My husband grew up in Brea, and every time we visit we make time to come eat at Pepe’s. ”
