My family and I have been going to Pepe's in Harlingen for over 25 years…read more The Jose's Special with charro beans is my favorite. Their cheese enchiladas are the best. Haven't been able to find any better. Their prices are reasonable. Their service is also top notch. All their waiters and cashiers are professionals and have been there for years. I have been to just about all the Mexican food places in the Valley and by far Pepe's in Harlingen is the best.

We stopped in for lunch today, and the restaurant was quite busy, which speaks well of its…read morepopularity. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and provided attentive service throughout our visit. Our experience with the food, however, was a bit mixed. While everything was prepared well, the flavors were much milder than we were expecting, and the dishes felt a little under-seasoned for our taste. To us, it's not what we expected a Mexican restaurant to be, being so close to the border. We also felt the prices were a bit high for the overall experience. Everyone's taste is different, and it's clear this restaurant has many loyal customers. For us, we were simply hoping for a little more bold, authentic flavor. We appreciate the excellent service and wish the team continued success.

We ended up paying almost $60 during lunch hours for 2 people. I've only ever been here once before but it's not a place that stands out or that I go out of my way to. It looked pretty slow with traffic but with the lack of flavor and overly priced items and on the receipt it wasn't transparent on what was being charged so that was very sketchy. I hope they enjoyed charging what they wanted because I will not be back here again. There's much better, affordable, and tastier places than here in my opinion.

Looks like they moved to a larger building to accommodate how busy it gets. My parents took me here…read morebefore I went back to San Antonio and the food was pretty good - par the course for breakfast in Brownsville. The coffee was also very tasty, with waitresses swinging by nearly every 5 minutes asking if we wanted coffee refills. I ordered the chorizo and egg plate which came with chilaquiles, refried beans, and a big flour tortilla. I also added a side of bacon and used half the tortilla to make one of my favorite breakfast tacos (chorizo and egg with beans and bacon). The serving sizes are huge. Even my dad didn't finish his plate. Mom ordered a breakfast plate that included pancakes and the pancakes were so fluffy looking. The only downside was that the ceilings were so high the noise carried too much, so it was very loud inside. But otherwise the food, service, and prices were great.

Casual, "shack across the border" type of atmosphere with delicious food and reasonable prices…read more We like to dine there because it's usually pretty quiet, but they seem to do quite a takeout business. We get the beef fajitas. A 1/2 kilo feeds E and I with leftovers. It comes with a yummy grilled onion, delicious charro beans, delightfully thin and hot corn tortillas, chips, pico and limes. We have been coming here for a few years now. The food has always been good, but the last few visits it has been just so flavorful with everything cooked perfectly! The fresh-squeezed Limonada is on point too. Check it out!

Breakfast/lunch place. It's a family run business that cares about the food they put on the table…read more We had breakfast and it was fantastic. The bacon is nice and thick, cooked appropriately. The eggs, chorizo beans, toast, and even the hash browns came out delicious. Ambiance/atmosphere reminds me of an old school country Mexican food place. Absolutely love it. Wait staff are friendly and personable. Prices are fair. Monday special (2egg, bacon, toast, hash browns, and beans for 6 bucks) is an absolute bargain IMO.
