Don Pepe's Mexican Food: Reviews & Ratings
Omg I can't believe they closed! We tried it out last year and loved it. Came by today and it was being taken apart... Great selection of salsas (seriously). Service was great though it wasn't that busy. What a loss...
A unique gem! The flavors at this place are unmatched! The salsas and dips you get really make it a top notch experience! It's on a cute "Main Street" in Oregon City and you should definitely stop if you are nearby or live here. We started with some margaritas, which were huge and delicious! The chips came with some bean dip that really hit the spot. Even more salsas came out (6 of them!) and they were phenomenal! I couldn't begin to tell you all the flavors or types, but they are a must try! Some were very spicy! We split combo fajitas with chicken and steak. The pieces of meat were small, but plentiful. We also ordered a small guacamole and it was amazing. They let us grab corn and flour tortillas, the combinations were endless. Even the side salad was good! All mouth watering... The staff was friendly, but service was not super speedy. It seemed like one person running most of the dining room on a Sunday. We will still be back for the food. The menu has a lot of interesting options.
We have lived in OC for 11 years and this was our first visit but it won't be our last. Our waiter brought us a sample platter of salsa which was amazing!!! I ordered the hard taco platter and the taco shells are made in house and perfection. The chicken and carne asada could have had a little more flavor but overall lunch was really good! Cutest little location with super friendly staff!
Tried to go to a different place and they were having a private party, so we meandered into this place and found that they had room for us. Our server was attentive and kind. The food a place worth coming back for. We were very pleased and will return
We found this restaurant on Yelp, and thought it would be good for a casual early dinner before graduation.... ABSOLUTELY blew us away!!! They were short staffed, but worked hard to accommodate us, and were apologizing the entire time. I have had much slower service with an attitude. The food was worth the wait, and because everything is fresh and made to order, it took a little extra time. The homemade salsas were delicious and all very unique. Authentic Mexican food made with lots of love that shows!
Don was great! He prepared a delicious ceviche to start and we ordered the concinitas pibil and chicken mole. Both dishes were great the comcinitas pairing perfectly with the pickled carrot and the mole had a real depth of flavor that you don't often find. Highly recommend this little gem.
I love this little place in downtown OC. The tacos are so good, different tasty salsas to choose from and delicious fresh guacamole. Good drink menu too! The staff are wonderful. It is definitely one of my favorite places.
