Food was top notch and just as good as it gets. From guac to finish. We ordered a special - tacos Dorado (fried tacos with chicken smothered in a sauce) and it was superb. It's a mix of varied Latin dishes (including Puerto Rican, Dominican which I found to be quite appealing - a little like all those Asian fusion mix places that have Chinese, Japanese and Korean dishes) We had leftovers and they were great the next day. Inside is lovely with lighting and faux brick walls. Definitely coming back here and if it continues... will be a regular for this neighborhood.

Let's start with the warm welcome... we had been driving all day and our outfits were not matching the vibe. I explained it to our waitress and she was so understanding making us feel at home from the start. The restaurant is gorgeous... white linen, glasses that are lined up perfectly. You walk in expecting the best and they DELIVER! Everything was perfect! The service. The suggestions. And the FOOD! I almost don't know where to start. I'm a trust your server kind of girl. When we were debating on which sangria to get, I asked our server which one and he suggested red... perfect! Whatever you do, don't skip the sangria! It's so well balanced - not too sweet, just the right amount of alcohol and it's juicy! Not sure how else to describe it. Honestly the best part was whenever my glass was low (we got a pitcher) anyone who walked past filled us up. Not just our server. What more could you ask for? It was the small things that made this experience special. Things you can't skip... 1) the garlic shrimp! Looks spicy but it's not - super flavorful and you want more. A hit at our table. As I'm writing this... everything was hit! The calamari, the shish kebab, the Iberico, the cheesecake, the rice pudding... all of the things were perfect! I literally have leftovers that I can't wait to eat for breakfast. 10/10... highly recommend!

This restaurant is highly recommended and they close at 10 pm most days, so if you're still out and about at a later time, this is definitely a good place to get some delicious food!

It's a small white building that is nestled into a neighborhood that is easy to pass by if you aren't paying attention. Upon walking in, I was met by a woman who told me she would take my order in a min. I was happy with that response bc I needed time to check out the empanadas and Chicharrhon I spotted immediately. After a short wait, I went with what I recognized immediately. I asked for a chicken and cheese empanada, plus Chicharron platter with yellow rice and beans. You do have the option to have your beans on the side or included in your container. I opted to have mine on the side. After a short wait, I was handed a bag with my items. I immediately ran to the car and opened the platter. I had to try the chicharron. I absolutely LOVED the flavor and crispy pork skin. The meat was tender underneath the skin and had a light salty taste that reminded me of my last trip to D.R. I drove home and couldn't wait to eat everything else. The rice was fluffy and cooked perfectly. Now, the beans.....THE BEANS MADE ME HAVE A SEAT!!! I don't know what the chef/cook uses to make the beans, but all I can say is the beans were by far some of the best I have had in a very long time. The flavor, temperature, etc. was so spot on. If you couldn't tell already, I plan to return to Pepes in the immediate future to see what other deliciousness awaits me.

I ordered Chicharronnes with mofongo and tostones. I devoured half of it on the 40 minute ride home. This was the best mofongo I've had since I first discovered it in San Juan 25 years ago. So many PR restaurants tend to overcook their pork, but these chicharrones were crispy on the outside, yet tender, juicy and succulent. I haven't been able to stop thinking about them. I'm constantly looking for a reason to go to Vineland now. lol Seriously, trust the locals. I can't wait to go back.

Parking…read moresituation, one-way streets, stuff in proximity and the locale being pretty close to the river seems to point to that. Kind of felt the need to put that out there, it's not really a suburban location. That said, echoing some of the others I'm reading snippets of, WOW to everything - the service, the food, the ambiance. It's got charm when you walk in, looks old but not dated. The waitstaff is super friendly, has some jokes, multi-talented (they brought out the guitar a few times to wish some other folks happy birthday), and knowledgeable. The food is really good - everything I tried was just delicious. For the table, we ordered some calamari and empanadas, and both were good. Drinks were also tasty - that sangria was really good, and the mojito (love that they had it available, first of all!) was also a hit. I would double-click on that sangria, though. For my entree, I ordered their whole fish, which was not only delicious but HUGE. I ate about half of it and was full. Then my friend and I split an order of limoncello cake (I think that's what it was), which was on point, and ended w/ espresso, also good. Overall, everything about that place was great, and when I mentioned a Spanish place in Trenton the next morning to some guys I was with, one of them asked, was it Malaga? That was just another great review, for a local guy to know what I was talking about just by description. Bravo, I think some of us may be back sometime!

That lobster was fresh, tender, and actually cooked right, not rubbery like you get in a lot of places. Service was dialed in without being overbearing.

Walked out full and already thinking about coming back. Definitely a spot I'd bring people to when I want to impress without overthinking it.
