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.

In Lexington for the day and hungry, I opened my Yelp app to find someplace for lunch that wasn't a typical chain or fast food place. Pepe's was right by where I was and had a good rating, so the decision was made. The chips and salsa were really good. I could have sat there eating them all day. They have a large menu, so there were plenty of options to choose from. I ordered one of the vegetarian combo plates with a cheese enchilada and bean burrito. It was very flavorful and good. I liked the beans and rice that were served with it. I was very happy that the cheese enchilada had cheddar cheese in it, because so many Mexican places have a tendency to use that white, flavorless cheese that is super gummy...frequently reminding me I might as well be eating school glue. If I am ever back in the area, I would definitely return.

Very good lunch of tacos, cheese enchilada, chicken enchilada & beans and rice. Everyone loved it, especially the salsa and the cheese enchilada. Best we've tried in Lexington so far. Gotta bring the older kids to try it again.

Nothing about this restaurant was good. I had to send my taco because the she was stale and my husband dinner was undercooked. Service was slow but friendly and the bathroom dirty. We drove 5 miles off 75 due to review. Very disappointed!

Good quality standard fair of Mexican food. Staff was very friendly, attentive and fast. Got our food in under 10 minutes after sitting down (and it was hot). Well decorated and had some great deals/prices. Would give 5 stars but I haven't tried enough of the menu to say for sure.

Love this place. It is what it is...American style Mexican food. It is done well and reasonably priced. Good margaritas, two for one during the week. Not top shelf, but you can upgrade if you feel it is necessary. Good food, fast and any way you want it. Service is as involved as you want it to be. Good atmosphere. Long live Pepe!

Awesome service tonight. Our server was great and the food was equally as awesome. As a Mexican myself I can say that they have a very good and diverse menu and also add cool twists to traditional dishes such as their Azteca Quesadilla which is pretty darn good with chicken or beef. The only downside was meeting the owner at the end who tore the plastic seal on my credit card because she was just not paying attention and was very rude talking on the phone the whole time about a bad employee in Spanish, of course she didnt realize I spoke Spanish too lol. Someone should just let that lady know to be kinder to both her employees and customers and not to seem like such a stuck up.

Arrived at 9:35 and we waited to be seated and finally a girl after he hawing approaching the hostess stand said they are closed, we said but your sign said 10:00 and she walked off.

We have been here a few times and the service has been friendly and quick. This is your standard Mexican fare but with a few dishes that are above average and delicious. I particularly enjoy their cheesy chicken enchiladas and the poblano quesadilla. They know how to grill veggies! Look forward to visiting again.

My sister picked this place because she has gone several times and they are good with large groups. We were about 10 people deep and they seated us within 10 minutes. 4 separate checks and no problem. I had the shrimp tacos which were the best that I've had anywhere honestly. The parking situation is another story.... the lot is a good size but not for a busy night.

We are delighted to find such a great Mexican restaurant so close to home! We went for lunch. I had steak quesadilla and my husband had the steak fajitas. The food was fresh, hot, and out orders were accurate. Our server was very attentive and polite and the food was served quickly. I happen to also love the cheerful, colorful decor. This would be a great place for larger groups and is also cozy enough for just a couple.

Pepe's Mexican Restaurant By Parham P Baker Another cold, wet winter day, and I am again in the mood for something warm and tasty for lunch. Thought I'd give Pepe's a chance. Pepe's used to be a different Mexican restaurant (Mi Mexico) , and I confess to not have eaten there, so cannot draw a comparison, but... read on! The exterior of the place is colorful, and there is an outside patio for those much missed balmy fall days. As I came in I was pleasantly greeted and, walking past the full bar area to my left, was seated at a booth in a truly colorful and festive dining room. The brilliant colors and motifs are at once what one would think would be distasteful and so over the top, but well, somehow it really works. My table was colorful and covered by a piece of (cracked in a few places) acrylic, showing the wood carving below. Before I could even open my menu chips and salsa were there and my drink order being taken. I had barely cracked the menu and my drink appeared. I took my time wandering through the menu. A very nice assortment! My waiter did stop by a few times but never seemed to be rushing me, just being attentive. The chips I enjoyed while reading were nice and warm, and the salsa fairly good, but not exceptional. I settled on a combo with a beef taco, a chicken enchilada (you can choose beef or chicken on each) with rice and beans, the "Speedy Gonzales." (Why do I keep wanting to say "¡Ãndale! ¡Ãndale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba!" ?) It is a VERY reasonable $5.99. I had no sooner finished looking at the dinner menu (REALLY good looking) than lunch was served with a very warm smile. Everything was hot and looked and smelled so very appealing. The taco, well, taste-wise it was a taco. Not awe inspiring but good. Likewise with the beans. But the rice (and I'm not usually one for rice except for fried) was very good and the enchilada, wow! I think the cooked peppers (seemed like pablanos) really kicked it up. One unusual thing for a Mexican restaurant is that there were no sauces available on the table or nearby. No Chohula, Tapatio or my favorite, Chipotle Tobasco. The taco and beans would have been excellent with just that little extra kick. Honestly, the service, the atmosphere and the attitude made the food even better... if you understand what I felt. This is not gourmet Mexican, but dern solid. Again, the server was always attentive (my Diet never went below half full) and always had a smile and a laugh. I noted other servers there with the same great attitude. So... FOOD - 4 SERVICE - 5 AMBIANCE - 4 Yep, I'll return. Probably not an "A" lister but excellent value, good food and excellent service. *** When I review and rate, I'm comparing this particular place to others in what I perceive to be its "niche." I would not compare a Waffle House to the Commanders Palace, but I'd certainly rate them both. Joe's Pancake Palace might get a 5 and the "Five Star 'A La Palacio Bon'" get a 3. Apples to Apples for where in the culinary world or the travel world the venue fits. Bon Appetite and Happy Wanderings... Parham B ***

Worst ever. Service and food. Stopped for a quick fare with a high school friend. No one manning the desk at front. Finally a server seated us and granted close to the kitchen. We got our chips and salsa. I got a beer in a warm mug. We said we wanted to look over the menu. Sat there for over 20 min no server. Almost walked out every server walked by and not stopped. Finally after I had only two sips of beer left server stopped by i got some guacamole which wasnt bad my friend got fried ice cream after all we were tooling around town.....her ice cream was horrible stale feeezer burn stale cornflakes and if it was ever fried it must have been last year. Finally a younger server came by and we begged for our check. No one ever asked if i wanted another beer nor if we needed anything. Poor service, bad food. I vote thumbs down. Chili's while its a chain is a way step up from this place. And we never saw our original server and he didnt deserve a tip. I guess if you were young and buying 42oz margaritas you will get served. We were ignored

I really liked the food the service was pretty good. We got 2 for 1 margaritas they were very inexpensive and they were serving a mug with Catherine Coulter longer I like that. I thought that the atmosphere was nice and very authentic everybody there was very nice and very attentive the food was quick hot fresh you really can't ask for more. If I could its on Richmond Road made it very easy to find. All in all good food good times.

This was the first restaurant we ate it since moving to Lexington. It was good. The service was ok. We weren't disappointed. Would eat there again.

All right. So all along I have wanted to try this restaurant and today I have set aside a time to go and see what the buzz is all about. Growing up in California, I have a taste and expectation of what Mexican food should taste like and I would definitely like to get an enchilada in me before I forget what one tastes like. Pre-game: Doing some pregame preparation, I just looked at the menu and there are so many price traps, a potential consumer could be put in. Since I am a rate of investment kind of guy when it comes to food, I am hoping that the portions will be generous. The two entrees I hope to take out will be the Enchilada Supremas and Shrimp and Fish Tacos. I say price trap because take Enchilada Banadera for example, three enchiladas for $8.25; however, Enchilada Suprema, you get four enchiladas for $7.99 The Fuq? Play by play: -Got to this place and no one was there. Perfect time to indulge and have all the staff to my disposal. -Met the bartender and we talked about where I and he were from. He's apparently from Mexico City, which is a nice touch to the overall theme of the restaurant. -Ordered tequila and found out I knew nothing of tequila, there are so many! -Order my Enchilada Suprema and Fish Taco entrees. -He started me off with chips and salsa. No cost and even upgraded my salsa to the spiciest one he had. -I ate down the whole variety of enchiladas and 1 fish taco. Carried the rest home. Now I am back home and thank lord was able to drive back after the tequila. Bartender had made sure I downed two glasses of water before I walked out. Haha Post-recap: All in all. Very light. Very tasty. But I would say still pretty pricey! With a buy one get half of the next order, I spent $25 with tip. It was good though. 4 stars!
