    Entrance

    While in Azusa, I often came to this taco shop, getting the same best taste at affordable price! The inside has a simple traditional look, yet it is always clean! While food trucks can be fast in service, this restaurant does not take long to serve an indoor meal and takeout order. My favorite part of my meal is the restaurant's rice and beans. Any protein chosen for the plate works perfectly for the plate

    I came in here today to get me and my roommate some dinner. I got the enchiladas for us. They were okay the rice and beans were good. I wish their aguas grecas were fresh. The cashier was super nice but the food could've been a lot better .

    Hidden gem. Highly recommend Pepe's Tacos on Sierra Madre. The service and staff were so helpful, accommodating, and the food was excellent. We came on a Wednesday, and there happened to be a special for 99 cent fish tacos. We ordered six fish tacos and an order of chicken enchiladas with rice and beans to split. The staff provided chips and salsa as we waited. Hands down those fish tacos were cooked perfectly. I'll be back! They have a Tuesday special for 4-5 tacos and a drink for $5. After spending the day at San Gabriel River, Pepe's was everything. While I was there, it was clear with the amount of foot traffic, that it's a well known spot to locals. We stayed and had table service which I'm soo glad that was an option. We were starving when we saw them from the road. The establishment is in a plaza, well kept, with an A rating. Worth the trip if you're in the area!!

    Time to find a new spot. Prices are going up and the food quality is getting worse. Nachos used to come out packed! Now they're coming out with very little of everything.

    Pathetic tacos for $3

    The cashiers they're friendly people are nice places clean and what not even though the plumbing in the bathroom smells like it's backed up. But the tacos oh my goodness they are way overpriced. I can get better tacos from anywhere else. Pathetic tacos for $3.

    Not your typical Pepe's tacos Not a chain restaurant Location: Located on Sierra Madre in Azusa. This spot has a small parking lot so it might be challenging finding a spot during lunchtime. Interior: There are around 6 tables and decent amount of chairs. Mixture of small and medium sized tables. It can get really crowded around lunchtime as the restaurant is not that big. Service: The cashier took our orders and all the food came out at the same time, which I kind of like because I don't want someone to be staring at me while I'm eating vice versa. Food: You have the choice of carnitas, al pastor, asada, barbacoa, chorizo, cabeza or fish with beans, rice, cilantro, onion, and salsa. We ordered the typical asada burrito which came with rice, beans, cilantro, onion, and salsa was on the side. We also got the carnitas burrito mojado. Another dish was fish plate which came with rice, grilled fish fillet, beans, side salad. Chips and salsa were on the house and it was bomb. I was disappointed with the guacamole. Definitely missing some seasoning. Everything else ordered were just okay. I guess I was expecting more from an authentic restaurant. I would give this place another try. Next time I'll order something else on their menu.

I also don't appreciate the poor attitude that two of the bartenders have been displaying lately. They have favorites and it shows a lot. I understand that when it's time to close it's time to close and go. But if you're serving other people and treating those same people nicer because they're your favorites, well that's not cool. In the end we're all patrons. We all support when consuming. But above all, it's the poor attitude that I will never pay for. I used to like coming here often. I probably will never again. I also know that occasionally in the bar they overcharge for cocktails thinking customers will not notice because they've been drinking and bartenders refuse to adjust the check. This is terrible and now you know.

They do not skimp on their portions and actually care how their food looks at the time of service. This place makes sure their food looks nice, but don't charge you extra for that. Service: 5 out of 5 their employees are very pleasant and professional. They gladly answer all your foodie ingredient questions. They are more than accommodating. You will see, they are genuinely nice. As far as the ambience goes, for certain a stro g 4 out of 5. Nothing can be more comforting than to sit back and relax here. They have hi tables woth stools, as well as the hybrid style booth/table combo. Fans are always circulating and it is definitely not too stuffy. They do have music playing in the background, but it is not too loud like many places do. We have been back to try new and different dishes....all have been very tasty. A smaller and cozy place to have a nice meal. I can tell they cater to the local college students and offer a student discount. ***Hidden Bonus: their café de la olla is DELICIOUS! You can twll they make it fresh regularly and do not let it sit. It is by far waaaaay nicer than what they serve anywhere in the area. We would drive to get a nice cup in Monrovia, but this café de la olla beats it hands down. It is NOT bitter, nor is it over sweetened! So.etimes we swing by for a To-good cup. We recommend this place for everything: nice food served with a friendly smile.

I got the breakfast burrito, and it was really good with the sauce. I liked the bacon in it, and it was huge. But without the sauce, it tasted pretty plain, just like a regular burrito with eggs. Of course, I ordered the chilaquiles, but I was disappointed. I specifically wanted dry chilaquiles, and that's what | ordered. I know the sauce usually makes the tortilla chips soft, but these were really wet and soggy. It honestly felt like it had been sitting out for a while because the food wasn't hot. The flavor was good, but I'm not a fan of soft or too soggy chips. Also, they thought our order was for dine-in, so they gave us chips. When we told them it was to-go, they took the chips back. I was hoping they would still give us chip takeout, but they didn't, which was really disappointing. Cmon you already put it on our table and we told them it's to go they took it right away.

There are two Fridays left if you want to partake in the seasonal dishes offered during this time, please bookmark this restaurant. We ordered the two Specials of the Day (Fri., 3/28/25): 1. Tortitas de Camaron con Mole with Nopales and Roasted potatoes (ground breaded Shrimp into small Patties with cactus) $15, served with thick handmade corn tortillas. 2. Capirotada (bread pudding with peanuts & raisins in syrup) $10. We also had Enchiladas in Poblano Mole. Each entree included a cup of Fideo soup, a side of rice and beans. I could not resist the Cafe de Olla (Mexican coffee brewed with a cinnamon stick), this was served with two cookies in a ceramic mug. This is how you would be served in someone's home. I was stunned when they brought it to me. The food was authentic, delicious, good portions. You will love how the food is plated and presented in ceramic dishes (pottery). We didn't finish and brought the rest home for dinner. I literally was transported back to my childhood, when my grandmother would cook these two same dishes during Lent. The hospitality, decor and service makes you feel like you're home. The food restrictions is part if a religious tradition, but anyone can eat these foods. There are only two Fridays left, mark your calendar now. Enjoy and don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya!

One of the things I've enjoyed are tbe hand made tortillas, it's hard to find now a days. They have aguas frescas and it's actually fresh so they may only have one or two each day. Cafe de Olla was good, sweet but I like it (sweet tooth in me) and comes with a cookie. The baño aka restroom also has a changing table (yes no changing the baby on my lap!).
