    Some of the menu
    Toni B.

    I actually enjoyed this experience. I went on a Monday night, so it wasn't overly packed but there is one server for the dining room. She handled everything with care. The ambiance is very chill and casual. Food was prepared freshly and didn't take too long to come from the back.

    Picked up on Pepe's after some Yelp searching and wound up having a nice time. We were there late so it wasn't crowded or loud. The food was good. Not outstanding, but tasty. Portion sizes were good and the food was hot and fresh. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and eager to please. Our waiter would sometimes disappear for stretches of time. It wasn't really an issue because the other waiters would come to the table. The whole team was waiting on us, so it wasn't a problem just an odd thing. One caveat - the parking lot is teeny weeny. We wound up parking next door and walking over. It was late so that wasn't a problem, but it could be difficult at lunch time or during the day when the neighboring businesses are open.

    You've gotta come try Pepe's Mexican Grill in Kenner!!! The food was fresh and delicious, the beers were ice cold, and on Wednesdays they offer a free small queso. The service was fast and friendly; while the atmosphere was bright and colorful. Thank you very much for an enjoyable experience, and I will be back. ;0)

    Food was good and service was great. Only thing I disliked was they charge to use a credit card. So this alone will keep me away for a while.

    Mauricio is the heart and soul of this place. He is always hustling with a smile on his face. The food is excellent and having Mauricio as a server/bartender makes the experience even better.

    Pepe's is a cute place with a warm atmosphere and good food. We were skeptical about the service because when I called to ask a question the person on the phone was fairly short and rude. However we were pleasantly surprised at the excellent service. We got: small cheese dip, taco plate (carnitas, Al pastor, carne asada) and a la carte tamale, pastor taco and chicken enchilada. The only weak points were the chips (tasted not fresh and were hard and cold) and the carne asada (not much flavor). Everything else was delicious. We will definitely be back!

    A hidden gem in North Kenner. First time here today and it definitely won't be my last. Mauricio was very knowledgeable about the menu and has amazing customer service.

After 5ppl they charge you a gratuity fee. Which that's fine, but at least work for the gratuity fee. I feel like waiters that get gratuity feel as though they don't have to work because they have already gotten my tip. Also they charge you $15 if you bring a cake into their establishment. Also I DID not like how they treated a group of "black" young men that came into the restaurant. The food was absolutely disgusting.i hate swai fish. And if your restaurant isn't serving "REAL" catfish at least advertise that on your menu. The fries were hard and overcooked. The egg rolls were semi decent. Definitely would not recommend this place of business

We got a bunch of appetizers: calamari wings, garlic, fries, and garlic noodles, and they were all great though the garlic noodles were probably my least favorite. Crawfish wise, we ended up getting 5 pounds of the Viet Cajun and 5 pounds of the EZ blend along with sides of corn, sausage and potatoes. Everything was great and had a lot of flavor, and we were pretty surprised by the size of the crawfish. I really enjoyed both flavors though if I had to pick, I would say the Viet Cajun was better and had more flavor. My table had four of us and we weren't able to finish everything. Overall, this spot was delicious and I love all of the variety. I love variety and options, so I will say that I wish there were more flavor options for the crawfish!

I ordered two Crawfish Taylor, and when I checked my food before leaving, I noticed that both of them contained only four crawfish tails. Had I not checked before leaving, I would have been stuck with food that was clearly not worth what I paid. When I brought the issue to management's attention and requested a refund, the manager/owner was rude, racist,dismissive, and very unprofessional. I was initially told that I could only receive a refund for one crawfish, despite both orders being unsatisfactory. After standing up for myself and insisting on a full refund of the $33.95 I spent, the situation escalated unnecessarily. What was most upsetting was being threatened with having the police called on me simply because I was requesting my money back for food I was unhappy with. I left feeling disrespected and unfairly treated. Based on my experience, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this establishment to others. Your response is completely inaccurate. The owner is not telling the full truth about what happened. She did threaten to call the police, but she never did because she knew she was wrong in how she handled the situation. My cousin did not use any profanity until after the owner snatched the bag of boiled crawfish from us and threw it back at us. No one ever stood on a chair, and several details in your statement are simply false. The issue started because we paid for food that was not prepared as advertised and were dissatisfied with the quality. Instead of addressing our concerns professionally, the owner became rude, confrontational, and disrespectful. Customers should not be treated that way when they have a legitimate complaint. We are sharing our experience as it happened, and we stand by our account of the events.

We met a good friend of ours here for lunch. His wife and US, would regularly go n out to eat with each other. It was a normal routine. His wife passed away suddenly about 8 months ago and he hasnt gone anywhere that whole time. She was my best friend. It was a pleasant surprise, when he agreed to have lunch with us. We decided to go to Zea's on W. ESPLANADE. It was obvious they were busy as most of the lot was full. The first thing we noticed was the new interior renovations. It was definitely brighter and open since the last time we were here. We finally got sat at a table, wasnt a long wait. Our server, (young lady named Taylor) was our server. She was very friendly, inviting personality and made you feel welcomed. We started off with drinks and the Hummus appetizer. Never seen a big appetizer like this, it was perfect for 3 even 4 ppl and very good. It was served with warm pita slices. I remember they served cucumber slices upon request, not sure if they still do that. The lunch entrees were Almond chicken salad for my wife. Our friend ordered the Thai rib plate and I had the Crispy duck. As far as I know, my food was excellent, the duck was well cooked and moist. The Thai ribs are usually always good, no doubt that has changed, I stole one of my friends ribs. It went to good use. My wife said the main salad was good, but she feels the chicken itself lacked flavor, but since this is my review, only my opinion matters, lol. The Thai ribs were very good. I love the corn grits and the zea potatoes. For me, I feel this was my best meal I've had all year so far. Would I come back? Heck yeah. You buying? I overall, love the change. The new menu and decor is a hit for me.
