Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

We have been dining at DPs since they opened. Very consistent. Very good. And, with a little coaching, the margaritas are tasty. THE DIGS Very well done. The guys who opened the restaurant years ago went the extra mile to do some things differently. There is a huge wooden carved bar with some interesting art above - life size+ iron horses! Cool, colorful Moravian star lights cover the ceiling. The tables and chairs are large, wooden and have almost a handcrafted feel about them. It's not loud and doesn't smell like table cleaner (like some other Mexican places do). Overall, very nicely appointed. Very comfy. We usually sit in the bar for dinner, and never have a wait, either at a bar table or the bar itself. THE IMPORTANT STUFF: The margaritas are good. Real GOOD. My favorite bartender, Robin (no, that's not his REAL name!) has gone back to Mexico and we miss him, but Hernan has taken on the big responsibility, and after a couple of tries, with very specific instructions, my margarita is always JUST RIGHT when I order. They have cold, cold Victoria in the case as well! (Can't go wrong with a cold beer, right) - Probably the coldest beer I have tasted in a Mexican restaurant ... EVER. I tend to order the same thing every time - just because it's like comfort food - The Tacos al Carbon, which is 2 flour tortillas filled with their yummy steak and comes with rice, beans and salsa, lettuce, etc to fill it up with. I'm also a big fan of the taco salad - chicken with extra lettuce. The salad is PACKED with chicken! Both dishes are way too much for one to eat. In fact, most things I have seen come out of the kitchen are huge portions. Their salsa is what makes them stand apart, and I'm pretty picky when it comes to salsa. They serve a roasted chipotle salsa, ( yelp.com/biz_photos/don-… ) which is spicy and smokey, along with the regular tomato salsa. The chips are always fresh and the chile con queso is really good too - The dish comes out with freshly made pico, cheese and jalapenos, separated, so you can make your own chip with as much jalapenos (for me a TON) as you'd like. Overall, a great alternative to the run of the mill strip mall mexican place. Awesome food. Good margaritas. No cheesy decor. Very consistent and competitive prices!

There was a time, well, it's been about 30 years now when there were few Mexican food restaurants in Birmingham. I would say the entire restaurant scene was very thin. Now, we have many really good restaurants and a plethora of Tex-Mex restaurants. We have two in particular that we usually choose, but we are always looking for something else. We have been to Don Pepe a number of times. The service is very good, and, the food is good. Now, it is not outstanding, but good. We have never had to wait for a table and the seating is more intimate than others in the area. Both Chuy's and Superior Grill are kind of like eating in a fish bowl. Both are very noisy and hectic and do not lend themselves to a peaceful meal with conversation. Don Pepe is much better in that regard, although the food is probably not as good as Chuy's on a good night at Chuy's. Also, you tend to have more mature and experienced waiters at Don Pepe.

Good food - a little different than your average Mexican food. Atmosphere is nice.
(4)Teresa M.
It's cheap, but good Mexican. Sopapilla rocks. Chimichanga. Taco al carbon is good. Feliz cinco de mayo!!
(4)Jason S.
Very good Mexican place. Yes, it is a chain but it is not your average, run of the mill place. Unique and creative decor and atmosphere. Their chips and salsa are up there with the best in town. Love the smoky chipotle variety! I've been here many times and haven't had a bad meal yet! Service is fast and friendly too!
(4)Katie B.
Great place to eat!! Nice atmosphere. Be prepared to share or take food home....they serve you plenty of food!!! Customer service awesome!!!
(5)Brett W.
Probably our favorite mexican style restaurant.
(4)Joshua W.
Really nice dining space, with carved wood tables and cool light fixtures. There's never been a wait when we've gone and service is very good and quick. Prices are quite good as well, as they serve there lunch specials 7 days a week. You can get a good meal with really big portions for $6.00 or $7.00 a plate. The salsa's good and the chips are warm. Some dishes are better than others, but they're all quite competent and the beans, and rice are always good. Certainly not the best Mexican food that I've ever had, but it's still pretty good and is becoming our regular Mexican spot.
(3)John L.
I don't go to Mexican restaurants for vegetarian meals, so I can't speak to that, but I can say that everything else I have tried on the menu is awesome! Their beef tacos are excellent! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and kid friendly. I will say that the fajitas do tend to come out a little crispier than I prefer, but all-in-alll, a great restaurant. Salsa is one of the best I've had.
(5)Quanick D.
This is one of my favorite Mexican restaraunts. The steak fajita taco salad is great and so are the enchiladas.
(4)Melody H.
My boyfriend and I went to Don Pepe for dinner. We got there around 7pm on a Friday and didn't have to wait. The inside is very nice and while there was a buzz, it wasn't too noisy. The service was pretty good. I didn't have to wait too long for refills on my soda and a manager stopped by and checked on us. The salsa was very good. The meal was good, too, but nothing overly special. My boyfriend had three steak enchiladas and the steak had a great marinade. I had the plate with four different enchiladas (chicken, beef, cheese and bean). They were good, but not outstanding. The beans and rice were standard fare. The only thing I had a problem with was the chips. They tasted like they had been fried in old oil. The price is a bit on the high end for this type of place, but not by too much. We ended up spending less than $25 for two entrees and two sodas. There is a Habanero's in Chelsea that has cheaper food, better salsa, lower prices and better service. While I will give this place another try, it's hard to compete with that!
(4)Jared W.
Excellent lunch spot. Great food at a reasonable price. The salsa is pretty good as well. My only wish is separate salsa bowls.
(4)Sheri P.
I am not so sure about this place. It has a good atmosphere and pretty good salsa. I like the fact you get two types, one traditional you would find in most Mexican restaurants, and a smoky salsa. Both pass my test. And the chips pass the test as well. It is a little pricey and the servings are decent. I do not really care for the combinations and to order a la carte is ridiculous here. They have vegetarian fajitas on the menu, so I ordered it. It did not say what they entailed but the week before I ordered vegetarian fajitas at a competition near by and they were delicious! with asparagus, squash, etc... Can I tell you the vegetarian fajitas at Don PooPoo's were $9 and THE ONLY ITEMS WERE ONIONS AND PEPPERS. Really? Really? Not even a tomato? Or mushroom? I know you have spinach. The manager is a really nice guy and when he walked by I showed him my "vegetarian" fajitas, and he looked at me like "yeah, what is your point?" I played it cool and did not even ask for something else or for it to be taken off the bill. Needless to say, I have not been back. The reality is, I've experienced better.
(2)Scott B.
Great Mexican restaurant. Always friendly with consistently good food. A favorite for the entire family.
(4)Jeff G.
Please ignore the 2-star review. Don Pepe is a great place - it is a nice restaurant with nice atmosphere. There are lots of cheap restaurants with mediocre food. Don Pepe has great food, very nice atmosphere, and the prices are lower than several other nice Mexican restaurants in the area. We order the spinach quesadilla a la carte for my daughter all the time - it is only $3, it is huge, and she loves it!
(5)Alan J.
Enjoy this restaurant for both lunch and dinner. Food always good. Here lately they have been out of kids menus but I won't hold it against them.
