I hesitate to go to Mexican restaurants while on the road since I have had several incidents of gastro intestinal upsets. I love the flavors but just usually isn't worth it. Pepe's in Harlingen, Tx was a different experience. Greeted with friendly service, professional waiters, and fast service. Went with friends who frequent this restaurant so was highly recommended.

As a previous reviewer said, Pepe's food does remind me of border food I used to eat in Matamoros. On a recent trip to Harlingen, I went with 3 friends to Pepe's. We decided to split the botana platter for two. This had plenty of food for four people especially since we all ordered cups of the delicious jalepeno soup.... More

Had lunch once again at what we feel is the best Mexican Food in The Valley. It reminds us of the food that used to be in Matamoros before the violence. Everything was fresh and the service is quick and professional even with a full house which is most of the time. We like to order off the side order... More

Pepe's probably has the best cheese enchiladas I've ever eaten. The service is terrific. The reason it did not get a 5 rating is that the chips were greasy, but other than that, this place is awesome! Don't be deterred by a full parking lot; they get you seated very quickly.

We come to Harlingen a couple of times a year and don't miss this restaurant. Food and service are just wonderful. Prices are excellent. Can't wait for my next meal from Pepe's.

Pepe's is a very good lunch place where the service is terrific (same loyal wait staff over the years) and the prices are reasonable. Our favorites are the enchiladas and crispy tacos. Pepe's is always busy at lunch time, but the wait is usually short. The only negative is the awful waiting area. Pepe's is not as busy for dinner,... More
