    Great place to eat, most of the seating is outside though. It is covered so it wasn’t so bad even at 85 degrees. The food, the staff, and the service were all amazing.

    Waitress said she'd refill chips as we purchased guacamole made at table. Never came. we made previous reservation for five inside since we knew it would be hot that afternoon and my elderly parents in late 80's would be there with us. When I checked in, mngr didn't mention the inside request for a table just took us right outside to a table at edge of steps. My chair was precariously on edge, if I backed up I could fall down couple steps. Odd that's not an issue there. Husband sat o,.n one end as that was only place to sit, his plate was there. Also, the guac maker was on other end. Then mngr came out and rudely told him he had to move since it was in way of people walking. Understood, but should have been a bit nicer and it was their fault not ours. Food was ok, nothing great . Bowls a bit mushy probably because rice and beans at bottom. I just made tacos and black beans and rice last night and my husband said tasted much better. Thank you dear. LOL. The guac was good made at table. 5.50 for an ice tea? Wow

    Great dining experience. Really good carne asada steak, enchiladas were excellent and both the refried beans and black beans were the best I’ve ever had. Dining outside was enjoyable, quiet and cozy. The staff was so attentive and nice. Great value too.

    We made reservations several days early, they sat us in the back by the bar, and the bartender was busy but also our server. Food was excellent as always but service was slow and music was a little loud

    When we first got here, there was no one seated outside, and only one table seated inside. Next door was a restaurant that was SLAMMED and we thought about canceling our reservation to eat there. The interior of this restaurant is rather dumpy. As it turns out, they have an adorable bar area in the back, and that’s where most people go. The food was quite expensive for what it was, and I didn’t find it to be amazingly good.

    This inside area of this restaurant is so small so we chose to sat outside instead of bumping elbows with strangers. It was so hot out and while there were fans, it was still awful. Water was served quickly but unfortunately there were no frozen margaritas even though they are on the menu. Went with a marg on the rocks and it took forever for our drinks to arrive. Server did not check on us. I was finally able to order another drink (same marg) and it tasted completely different. Food was fine. Overall it was pretty pricey for a mediocre experience.

    We ended up at Pepe’s after short staff issues at another restaurant we had reservations at. The Pepe’s staff was very accommodating. Our 5 year old is EXTREMELY picky but the staff was great at concocting something she would eat and she LOVED it. Everyone’s food was delicious.

    Good location in Winter Park. Food was awful. Had the shrimp enchiladas. Absolutely tasteless. Ordered with verde sauce which was almost totally imperceptible on food added zero flavor. When I was served I asked why no sauce — and was told that it was there. Not much shrimp I’m dish — which was fine, as it appeared to be supermarket packages frozen shrimp. The black beans were bland as can be — except for some added sugar! The rice was served cold. Honestly the worst Mexican food I’ve ever been served. Guacamole made tableside to start was decent. But the chips were thin, low-end junk food. Not much to recommend it.

    Our favorite local Mexican restaurant. Good food, service and really nice people. Also, one of the best outdoor dinning spots in Winter Park. We love the table side guacamole and the Vulcan margaritas with salt.

    Got there 15 minutes early for our reservations only to be told by the young lady hosting that they had no reservation for us even though I showed it to her on my phone she claims it was not showing in her computer. They almost ruined my daughter’s bday but we found somewhere else to go that was little bit more organized and had an amazing time.

    The service was terrible and the food was average. It took 20 minutes for drinks, no water refills, no follow up on the food and then forget it if you want anything additional as you don’t see the waiter. We won’t be back….many other options.
