The food is absolutely delicious, very friendly staff and the portions are a good amount of food. Personally, I ordered the Birria tacos. There is so much flavor in the food here, as I tried a little bit from everyone's order. I HAD TO !! For dessert, I had their tres leches cake. It was delicious and after eating it, I even ordered an entire tres leches cake for the weekend (they require a 2-day preorder for cakes). I'm glad to have found this place and can't wait to come back !!

Located on the ground floor of a newer, retirement condo, Pepe & Lela's does have an outdoor patio…read more(sides on busy Appleby Line) and 2 separate seating areas. Initially, I thought the restaurant was quite small, but when I went to the washroom, I noticed another dining room. Arriving shortly after they opened for their dinner service, I was standing for quite some time at the "Wait To Be Seated" sign. There was no bell, no way to make contact with the hostess. I did make eye contact with a male server, but I think he was the bartender and that servers are the ones who seat patrons. I want to say that I was waiting for about 10mins. Enough to take a bunch of pics of their front entrance! The first dining room is quite an odd shape with a HUGE round column cum circular bench where plants are displayed in the middle. Menu was pretty succinct, there were specials, but no burritos, enchiladas, or even fajitas. They do serve Mexican cocktails like margaritas and have seasonal flavours such as strawberries, peach, etc. Brooklyn, female server was friendly. Here are the pros/cons of Pepe & Lela's: CONS - hostess table is separated by a long hall from dining room, so it may take some time to get seated as hostess/servers don't regularly check when patrons enter / difficult to see when customers arrive - quite pricey, about a few dollars more than an authentic and local (to me) Mexican place - limited menu, see above description/pics - despite higher prices, tacos don't come with any sides like refried beans, rice, &/or small salad - lotsa wasted garnishes/sauces left on Mexican corn plate PROS - menu does focus on local, seasonal ingredients, so it does taste SUPER FRESH - you can tell their Margaritas were fresh and not from some mix - sauces were really good and plating was good - tasted authentic Food was delicious and FRESH, although I found the meat on my cochinita pibil underseasoned, lacked salt although other seasoning were on-point. My main gripe is that you're paying a few extra dollars for quality - fine, but tacos don't come with any sides like rice, beans, &/or a salad like other, less expensive Mexican restaurants. Average price is ~$25/2 tacos. You're certainly NOT going to be hungry after eating the 2 tacos, but I find that pricey with no sides! Overall, I think it's a good option for a celebration, but a bit pricey for just a regular night out.

The chicken chorizo chimichanga was very big, filled with cheese, with a crispy outside. The only downside to my visit was having to wait for the waiter to come to take our order. We were seated near the back, and we felt forgotten about. One of us had to walk to the front to kindly ask for someone to take our orders. However, the staff were very kind :)

The margarita was good. A cute casual spot with a nice patio in Hess Village, dog friendly and friendly service.

Upon entering this restaurant, we were kindly greeted by the server at the front. We were then brought to a table on the upper level near the window which was near the railing therefore, was a tad tight. The music was lively however, not too loud. As well, the décor was set just right for a Mexican restaurant, with many decorations relating to the Day Of The Dead, which is a Mexican holiday. For my meal, I had settled on the pork carnitas without any onion or cilantro, while my daughter had the french fries, and my mother had the beef picadillo. I found that the wraps for the pork carnitas weren't too fresh however, the pork was a good amount, and tasted well-prepared. I would have liked to have some sort of a sauce or topping to go with the pork carnitas however, I only had the side order of diced avocado which was given, along with some Mexican inspired rice. Overall, the food was good however, it wasn't as good as I would have hoped. The prices were a tad high for what we had gotten however, I do respect that this is a family-owned business, and prices are high at every restaurant these days. The service was definitely great, with the server coming to check in on us as we dined, and filling up our water jug from time-to-time. I may come back here to try another item, as the food is definitely authentic, and well-prepared.
