I was looking for a quick, semi-healthy breakfast before doing a 2 hour dance class. Los Pepes was across the parking lot, so I decided to give it a whirl. I ordered taco with a corn tortilla and a cup of fruit. Pepe, the chef, said that his food was so good that I was going to fall in love with him. Well, part was correct...I fell in love with his food. The taco was large with potatoes, egg whites and chorizo. In San Antonio, TX if you ask for chorizo it will be served to you with lots of oil and grease. This is the first non-greasy chorizo I have ever eaten. The combination of egg whites and potatoes was delightful. The seasonings took the taco to the next level. The taco was served with a green sauce with a little kick. My fruit cup was sprinkled with lime and salt which elevated the flavors. The fruit cup included cumber, strawberries, honey dew melon, cantaloupe, watermelon and jicama (not a vegetable see on the regular). The interior was colorful, warm and inviting. Growing up in San Antonio, TX the items in the restaurant were very familiar. I felt right at home. Pepe was the chef and also served my food. He was super personable, engaging and humorous. Totally, a "don't worry...be happy" environment. read more

In town for the rodeo and I'm so glad we stopped here to eat! The food is authentically delicious and the owner is delightful. We will be coming back each year here to eat! read more

Food always good and fresh, and service on point ! :) When the food is extremely fresh it takes PATIENCE to get your food on table/to-go quality and quantity of the plate is amazing. Service is great, with there only being one-two server ratio on the floor !! :) Atmosphere is clean, and well decorated. read more

The service was ok, I did to go. The place is decorated a very decorative festive vibe. The food was not for me, the carnitas are low quality chicharrones, not chewable and all fat. The same goes for the second torta I ordered as well. I did not try their fruit cups which I will the next time I come back. read more

Best Mexican food I've ever had. I'm from Up north in PA, so needless to say our choices of authentic Mexican cuisine is slim to none. I am down here for Austin City Limits, and staying a block away. We walked past and I decided to try it. I speak some Spanish so ordering was not an issue. Service was excellent, the lady taking my order all three times here was patient and helpful. Food itself is amazing. Tried the carnitas, barbacoa, el pastor, And chicken tacos. Also tried the enchiladas Rojas, beef burritos, and several of their fruit drinks. All amazing. Any time I come back to Austin I will be stopping here first thing. read more

THE BEST authentic home made Mexican food in Austin, maybe all of central Texas. If you ever find yourself in northeast Austin craving GREAT Mexican good, this is THE place! It's a bit on the spicy side, after all Mexicans love their chiles, but they are willing to tone it down, guero-style if you prefer. read more

Really hard to believe that this place doesnt have more reviews for as long as its been open...This place was is surely a hole in the wall, out of the way, blink and you will miss it type of place...There is a bit of a language barrier, but we worked thru it...Bang for you buck is about the best you can find...We get the starters...some salsa, chips and Queso...Chips are home made, Salsa was great and small side of beans as well...We werent the biggest fans of the Queso, but the price was right for $2.00...Wife starts with the usual...Beef chiladas, double rice...topped with red sauce...Mine was the Chicken Chiladas with green sauce, beans and rice...Each plate came with 4, yes 4 enchiladas...and they were delish!...all for the average price of $8.99...They were packed, and the sauces were full of flavor...rice was fresh and fluffy...Take the time to check this place out...its well worth it, next stop here will be for breakfast. read more

Food was ok...ambiance feels not very clean! The service was ok and friendly! The price for coffee was the most I ever paid for at a restaurant and not good coffee at all! read more

First time here, and I will definitely come back. The best Mexican seafood gumbo I ever had. The customer service was okay, but the cooks were great! Small location with few tables but it was totally worth it. read more

Found this place because I was looking for a pambazo in Austin. This place feels authentic Mexican and the food matches. I had the pambazo with pastor and my girlfriend had the enchiladas verdes. These are not tex-mex style enchiladas slathered with gravy or cheese. The tortillas are a little crispy, the salsa and crema are fantastic, and the rice and beans on the side taste good and homemade. The aguas frescas are delicious, we tried melon and pineapple, both splendid. read more

It's one of the places I most recommend in Austin. Their pambazo and their enchiladas are not what most people are used to from Mexican food, but they're delicious. This is authentic Mexican food, not doused-in-gravy-and-cheese Tex-Mex. Breakfast wasn't great (I had the chilaquiles and found the sauce to just be a little sour with not much flavor). The food I've had for lunch, on the other hand, is delicious and the kind I would expect in Mexico. The decor feels very homey. It's not fancy, but it's not a hole-in-the-wall. It has character and a unique feel. read more

I can't believe that I live down the street from this place and I have never been here! I picked up food for my daughter my mother and myself all for under $25. We got the gordita and asked for nopales instead of meat;also ordered the combo plate (w/chicken) & the huarache azteca. SO much food!!! The chicken was very tender and seasoned just right, not too salty. No American cheese, all queso blanco, the best and only way to go. Huarache was huge and enough for at least two people. The Gordita wasn't greasy perfect for really hungry and on the go person and was wrapped up so neat, I'll definitely go back when I need something on the go. Son buena gente en los pepes con comida riquísima también i love to support local small business. Highly recommend this place if you leave on Loyola or mlk. read more

Los Pepes - Huarache Azteca - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Comida mexicana estilo luvianos auténtica deliciosa, cocinan con mucho sabor y todos son muy amables!

I live near Los Pepes and read the previous review about the place. I have forgotten every bit of Spanish I learned in college and BELIEVE ME, it was obvious! I decided I wasn't going to keep my lost understanding of the language from at least trying it. I got there and it was very obvious that there was a severe lang barrier. Still, I managed to order 4 tostadas without meat (I'm a pescetarian), a fruit cup, and mexican coke. The sauces offered were both good, but beware of that orange one---the spiciness sneaks up on you, lol! The fruit was really fresh, but after having my mouth on fire from the orange sauce, I wasn't able to finish the fruit cup (that was seasoned with chili) but it doesn't matter...I will be back! Not bad for a hole-in-the-wall place :) read more

This place is interesting. It's in a strip mall near my house, and if my roommate hadn't brought me here then I probably never would've eaten here. They have tasty tacos for a buck if you buy em before 11am. It's also a fruiteria, with fruit cups so large and tasty for 5 or 6 dollars that the business has to be losing money on the cost of fruit alone. They would get a solid 4 stars based on food quality and price, but they lose a star due to lack of english speaking ability. There are a few different people who work there that have no problem speaking English, but they're not always there. Not a problem for me seeing as how I speak Spanish, but nevertheless they have still messed up my order a couple of times. Once they gave me bacon & chz tacos and left out the potato... Seriously, who eats bacon & cheese tacos? I imagine someone lacking bilingual attributes could have a tough time on the wrong day. read more

The food is so good but I found a hair and my appetite was ruined. Other than that that is very important, it's good.

The food is good but the waitresses/ the people who take your order are rude. They sometimes mess up your order and whenever you explain to them how you would like your food, they look at you like youre crazy. They dont even take note of it. And they take foreveeer to give you your food sometimes. So, the reason why i rate it 2 stars is because of the bad service. read more
