El Tio Pepe ⑩
This is a little hole in the wall that I never would have tried had it not been for a friend of mine who took me. Atmosphere and décor was your typical Mexican restaurant; but the food…the food was FAR from typical! First, the chips and salsa are some of the best I’ve EVER had; the chips are thicker and the salsa is the perfect blend of runny/chunky with THE best flavor! Every time I ate there I’d make sure to get one final basket refill, so I could box them up to go!
Now, when I eat Mexican food I pretty much stick to Taquitos and Flautas, but this time they recommended their house specialty; the Quesa Pepe. It’s two open face tortillas stuffed with your choice of meat (I got chunky beef), and topped cheese. But let’s be honest; it wasn’t just topped with cheese, it was SMOTHERED! I wish to GOD I had a photo of this dish because when they serve it, it literally just looks like a plate full of cheese; and their chunky beef was so soft with so much flavor it was ridiculous!
Friendly staff and VERY FAST service, but the food is where it’s at!
