Don Pepe's sits on Hwy 302 before hitting Pelion town limits. Restaurant is well-run and has been operating for many years. Serves mexican food and has separate bar with TouchTunes, big screen tv, and pool table. Great for lunch or dinner. Has weekly Kareoke, too.

We were in a rush. We just got here out of town and decided to eat here right before a meeting we needed to attend. I ordered the chicken fajitas and they were so delicious! Our server Andrea was phenomenal and quickly brought everything out and helped us have the best experience. 10/10, eat here!

Came here on a Friday around 7 PM and while it was a little busy, boy did they get our food out fast to us. Food was delicious, margarita was delicious. Salsa was a spicier than normal. But personally I thought it was the best I’ve had.

The food is always great and the service can't be beat. They always make sure you have what you need. My favorite place.

The food is amazing! The service is great and the people who work there are very nice. Their new location (about 1 mile from their current location) opens this week April/May 2025 with a Cinco de Mayo celebration. Beautiful brand new building on Edmund Highway. Well worth the drive.

Amazing food, honestly some of the best Mexican I've ever had and is strongly contesting my current favorite. House hot sauce, the good stuff in the back, is the best hot sauce hands down and I love my hot sauces. I bought a pint it was so good. Excited for the new location opening soon.
