This review is long overdue. The girls and I had a day and night out in the area of Deep Ellum and decided we needed a place to eat in the area. After scrolling through the local eateries I'm so glad we choose Pepe's & Milo's! Layout is simple with tables spread out with plenty of elbow room. Service was quick, efficient and made us feel welcomed. I chose the steak fajitas and they were incredible! Not those meats that are coated with seasoning but a clean cooked tender steak with simple seasoning of salt and pepper and some tender grilled onions. Simple and honest. Sadly I don't live close enough to frequent but you better believe I'll be back when I visit. I highly recommend this place. Yummy. read more

Top notch service! Came here with a large group - everything came out quickly and hot. There was no shortage of refills either. I ordered the top shelf sizzling fajitas, so good! read more

Pepe's & Mito's Mexican Café - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Oooh this was tasty and hit the spot. A walkable place for us and so yummy. Vibey interior and quite spacious for the location! They do some special wine sauce for the meat, and I think they said they were featured on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives! Super good read more

Pepe's & Mito's Mexican Café - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Stopped by Pepe & Mito's while we were having an evening out in Dallas. When you arrive parking can be a bit tricky as you'll need to street park at pay the meter. When you walk in you'll feel like you are transported to a cantina in Mexico. You'll check in with the host and they'll seat you. I ordered the steak fajitas which were so tender and they were accompanied by fresh tortillas. The price point is also reasonable for the amount of food you get. If you are in deep ellum and looking for a great tex mex spot I can't recommend this place enough. read more

By far the best family owned Mexican spot in Dallas. Alex and the whole family know what they're doing.

When we used to live in Dallas, Pepe and Mitos was a regular stop. We love their food. We made a quick trip to Dallas and had our family meet us there for lunch. It was excellent! Be sure and get the guacamole, it's so fresh and perfect with the chips and salsa. I had a cheese enchilada with queso and beans, perfect amount of food and so delicious too. Service is always right on point. They even remembered us from when we lived in Dallas. I highly recommend if you are looking for really good casual Tex Mex. read more

Everything was great here, I'm so glad I found this hidden gem which is near my work. I came for lunch with some coworkers. The place is huge and has a patio. The hot chips and salsa could fill me up by itself! I got the fajita steak taco lunch plate and it was delicious. The rice and beans are homemade, including the tortillas. I can't wait to go back and try a margarita. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Guy Fieri even visited them! read more

Pepe's & Mito's Mexican Café - Steak fajita taco lunch plate - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place had pretty good tex-mex food, but not up to par with what I would expect in Texas. The chips were nice and crispy and the food was decent, with pretty average portion sizes. The server was very kind and allowed for substitutions even on the combos, which I greatly appreciated. However, the food took forever to come out even though it wasn't super crowded. The ambiance was nice and had a cute vibe, but nothing special. read more

My fellow Dallas Yelpers did not let me down on this place! I was in an area of town that I seldom go to, but wanted some good Mexican food. I looked up highly rated area in the Deep Ellum area and Pepe's and Mito's popped up. After reading a couple reviews I was in and headed their way! I loved the casual and relaxed atmosphere in the place from the moment we all walked in. We were made welcome and truly sensed from the staff here an appreciation that we were there. Our lunch was delicious! Like really good Tex-Mex food! I had 2 young very picky eaters with me and they both loved it as much as I did, so that REALLY says something when you can please old and young alike! My meal was Spinach and Cheese Quesadilla and it was really really delicious! Like I would go back tomorrow for it kind of delicious! Anyway, great experience with this place and I am SO thankful to my fellow Yelpers for helping to turn me on to a new place! read more

Had a great dinner here before a concert in deep ellum! They serve chips for free with great salsa and unlimited refills. My combination meal was huge and a great deal. The inside is simple but cute, and my server was kind letting us know they were serving a large party so our meals might come out a bit slower. Even with this, we ate quickly. Would definitely come back. read more

The food and service was awesome. I tried the albondingas soup and the chilli relleno. The soup was perfect. The chili pepper was a little soggy, and I was expecting a little bit more crunch but other than that it was still delicious. The rice and beans normal to be expected. read more

We are visiting family and today we went into Deep Ellum for an afternoon of walking, viewing the murals and grabbing lunch. We chose authentic Mexican and went to Pepe & Mito's. We were seated right away and she took our drink order while they brought the chips and salsa. I ordered a chicken taco salad without the cheese and sour cream. It came with a house dressing mixture of their salsa and vinegarette which was very good. The salad was delicious. The boys got enchiladas and said they were so tasty. The one wall has a beautiful mural painted on it. It's super casual but clean inside and the service was top notch! They have a lunch menu and we really enjoyed our meal!! read more

Wanted to give this place a try! Came for lunch and was NOT disappointed. The enchiladas I had were some of the best in Dallas. My husband had the pork carnitas, also amazing . My 17 month one son managed to lose both his shoes by the time we got to the car. I called to see if they were at the restaurant, one was! Sandy walked our route to the car and was able to find the other shoe! She went above and beyond! We will be back for sure! read more

Pepe's & Mito's Mexican Café - Kids cheese enchiladas :) - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Located in Deep Ellum, Pepe's and Mito's is a non-trendy restaurant surrounded by bars, night clubs, and other rowdy establishments. However, once you step into the restaurant, you feel calm and ready to chow down on some delicious Tex Mex food. I had 3 cheese enchiladas with mole sauce on them. Absolutely delicious. Beans were on point as well. Service was fast and courteous. A nice spot if you are in the area. read more

We came all the way from Vegas to what has been reviewed as one of the top Mexican places in Texas let alone Dallas. This place delivered in so many ways from the perfect service (making my daughter feel amazing for her upcoming birthday) to the food. Our order was the tortilla soup, chile con queso, huevos rancheros, Fajita Tacos and Combo #1. A perfect order. It also has a neighborhood feel as most customers came in being called by their name and then walked to their favorite section. It was magical and great. None of my pictures are really about the food because it isn't really about just food at Pepe's but really about community. read more

My husband and I were on an unexpected quick trip to Dallas a few days ago and stayed nearby this place in Deep Ellum. Such a cool neighborhood! We hoped to grab some good Tex-Mex food while in town and Pepe's & Mito's had pretty good reviews so we headed there. We had no trouble getting a table and the staff was friendly and attentive. Lucky us, we happened to be there during happy hour! I had the house margarita on the rocks while hubby had a frozen strawberry margarita. At $5 each, they were a good deal while also being strong and tasty! They brought out warm chips with good salsa while we looked over the menu. I ended up getting a "House Speciality" item - Shrimp Enchiladas, which are served with rice, beans, and salad. At $18.95, I felt they were a tad pricey. But my husband had some of mine because he only ordered a Tortilla Soup. We would come back here again, especially during Happy Hour! read more

I was in Dallas for work and I decided to make the trek to this place. I ordered the al pastor tacos, norteno tacos, and abondiga soup. Overall the food was pretty good. Both tacos, rice, and beans were all delicious. On the other hand, the salsa for the chips tasted too sweet for my liking and I didn't care for the soup. I would say that this restaurant was worth my visit and I did not leave disappointed! read more

Found this quick & casual Mexican restaurant in Deep Ellum, perfect for on the go lunch. The service was only ok; the staff was very friendly and polite, however the service was on the slow side. There was noticeable wait for service and the check. Now the food: we ordered Tacos Norteños (as featured by Guy Fieri) & Chilaquiles. Both dishes were delicious. The taco meat was super flavorful. The chilaquiles was on point, the chips were very crispy and the chorizo had the perfect level of spice. The complementary chip and salsa were welcoming bonuses, try not to eat too much of those and leave room for the entrees! If we're in the area, we'd come back again and we'd recommend this spot to others. Enjoy! read more

I spent the last week in Dallas on business and figured I'd try to hit a few new places. I like hitting restaurants that were on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, so I was please to find this spot near downtown Dallas. My conference ended a bit early, and the lunch was pretty bad so I skipped it. Once I got to P&M's I was famished and ready to tuck in. However, it was early - about 5PM, and I knew I'd be hungry again before bedtime. So, I ordered bean & cheese nachos to eat at the restaurant and mixed (chicken & beef) fajitas for a late dinner in my room. As always, the chips and salsa set the mood, and I really enjoyed these. The salsa has just the right amount of heat - spicy enough to get your attention, but not enough to really burn. The chips were warm and tasted fresh, both in the basket as well as on the plate of nachos. The nachos had good servings of refried beans and cheese and were super enjoyable, except for the guacamole. It tasted fresh, but bland and needed a good shot of salt to have any real flavor. The fajitas were still good after sitting for several hours. The tortillas were homemade and very good and the beef fajitas were well seasoned. The chicken, unfortunately, was bland... almost no flavor at all. The refried beans were okay, but the rice had no flavor. As far as the service goes, I was pretty surprised to find I was the only customer in the restaurant, even though it was early. The chips and salsa were brought immediately and my order was taken pretty quickly. It didn't take too long for the food to come, but then everyone disappeared. No refill on my drink, my salsa, my chips, or anything else. Overall, some of the food was average, some was good and the service was meh. read more

Amazing food! Family owned. Been in business 31 years! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

Food and service were amazing! I highly recommend the enchiladas with the chipotle wine sauce...AMAZING!!

Food was amazing!! The workers there are very sweet and the food was just as great. Fermin was our server and he is a very kind man!!

Food was amazing. Sooooo authentic and fresh. Margaritas were nice and strong. Service was friendly and fast. It's in deep Ellum, old building but well kept. I'd definitely recommend the cheese enchiladas and the fajita nachos. read more

05/20/2023 Saturday 4:45pm. After seeing to Kill a mockingbird at fair park we popped in to this well know establishment. The salsa is legit. A tad bit of cumin and great tomato flavor. Not too spicy! We both ordered combination plates me an enchilada dinner and he combo #3. They were both solid choices. Hot and melty cheese! Not my favorite Mexican food but a good choice. read more

Food was fresh. I got bean nachos. I asked for light cheese but it was very cheesy. Prices average around $20 a meal, maybe due to the neighborhood. The jalapeno margarita was hitting!! Salsa had a slight spice. I loved the crema. There aren't many vegan options for anyone with those restrictions. read more

Wow wow wow. I'm a New Yorker and last time that I visited Texas, ten years ago, I remember how amazing the food was. Fast forward to today, I will remember how good and tasty this food was for the next ten years. The Paloma was amazing the dried grapefruit was a nice touch. I got the shrimp chipotle, and was very pleased with the dish. It was tasty, authentic, not too spicy the shrimp or camarones were fresh juicy tender and quite extraordinary. Even the rice and beans were delish. The food came with grilled veggies and it was the best part. All in all don't hesitate to go here. Hopefully it won't take me ten years to come back!! read more

Holy cow. Completely exceeded expectations. Amazing service and flavor. If the waiter makes a suggestion, trust them. They know what's best!

I was visiting from out of town and stopped by this place because of the information from Guy Fieri. First off the staff, there was very kind, cordial and very professional. I ordered the spicy shrimp quesadillas and was Very close to achieving the point of being blown away. The shrimp is very fresh, and I had my reservations about it being spicy, but I think they literally meant that the shrimp was full of spices and flavoring rather than the spice you would expect in terms of heat or hotness. in all seriousness, I did not set my expectations too high, even though the Reverend Fieri had given it strong endorsements. I would say that in all fairness, this restaurant deserves my five star rating, but I use them sparingly, and would be happy to give it a fifth star when I return and the experiences as pleasurable, or if not more. * editorial footnote: it really does deserve a five star rating because this was ahead of the mars Volta concert, which was nothing short than biblical and gives one that sensation of making all experiences read more

Tucked into Deep Elum this place is spectacular. $4 margs on happy hour until 7pm, great ambiance that gives an authentic vibe. Their salsa is made in house and has a smooth, spicy consistency that is better than most in the DFW area. Bar service was incredible, adding it to our regular rotation happy hour spot read more

This place is a hidden gem!! I was trying to book a dinner res for a huge party (15) in Deep Ellum for my birthday, and many of the places I looked needed an event planner and a minimum spend of $800 and all this stuff. I asked the internet where they recommend for a big group, and four separate people recommended Pepe y Mito's, so I knew it had to be good! They had our table ready for us before our reservation and we just had to wait til our whole party was there. While they were busy on a Saturday night, they got our order 100% correct, drinks and all, and service was fast! The food was great and there's lots of variety. They have really cute menus too. I had a sangria swirl margarita and they had a LOT of flavor options. I know my friends tried strawberry and peach, and there were also coconut, blue, mango, raspberry? Too many flavors to count, which is a great problem to have. Drinks were $8.50 which is pretty solid for Deep Ellum. I had the Botanas appetizer plate which is a genius little deal. It has 4 quesadillas, 4 chicken flautas, 4 nachos, and queso. YUM. My boyfriend had the street tacos which looked amazing. I know everyone was super happy with their food, and with the prices. I highly recommend this place for group dining or just for a night out! read more

Cool atmosphere and good TexMex. Has been a favorite in DP for ever. To last this long you know its good

We LOVED this place so much we brought our out-of-town friends back with us while in Dallas. The enchiladas chipotle, with the chipotle wine sauce, is the best I've ever tasted! Wonderful service and delicious food! read more

Despite having to wait several minutes to sit down on a busy Saturday night, the food and service made it worth the wait. There was one woman in particular who was a force of nature. She was working tirelessly to ensure people were checked in, taking orders and refilled items when they were empty (even without us having to ask). I ordered the chicken chimichangas and they were delicious! Crunchy on the outside with tender and flavorful chicken on the inside. The chipotle enchiladas were equally good, with a flavorful sauce and tender chicken on the inside. Having been to Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Amarillo, Pepe's & Mito's has the best Tex-Mex out of all of the other places I have tried. I definitely recommend this restaurant and cannot wait to return in the future! read more

I am reading these reviews and want to know how anyone could ever give this a 5-star or even close to that. To be fair, I live in a geographical area that is a melting pot for many different cultures to include different regions of Mexico. Because of where we are located, we have eaten our fair share of Mexican food. This includes just not at my home region, but also border cities and other border states. This is the farthest thing from a 5-star authentic restaurant I have ever eaten at. For those of you that think I am crazy by my opening paragraph let me ask you this. Have you ever been to an "authentic" Spanish restaurant and received canned jalapeno's? Not fresh, literally canned jalapeno's. We were in the area and figured why not give this place a try. I mean it has some amazing reviews. We enter, get seated, and our order is placed. One appetizer we ordered was the nachos. Had five million times before from other restaurants. The nachos come and they have canned jalapenos. I am absolutely appalled and shocked that this is going to be their presentation. Somehow a canned item does not scream authentic. Fast-forward to the main course. I eventually get my main course, which was chicken enchiladas. This is another item I have eaten five million times also. The enchiladas come out and they are the smallest I have ever seen. Literally, it turns into a joke at the table. It was almost like they took a streetcar vendor tortilla and tried to stuff it, except they hardly put anything in it. If this was my impression of an authentic restaurant, it would have me wondering. After eating here, I think Taco Bell is a trillion times more authentic than this place. Save the money, time, and aggregation and find another place to eat at. read more

Happened to be in the area for work and saw this spot on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives list - definitely a must hit spot for no frills, delicious Tex-Mex. I walked in on a weekday for lunch and had no trouble getting a table for one. Service was so kind and efficient. They had a great menu for lunch specials, so I decided to try the beef chimichanga with queso, and it comes with rice and beans. They also bring out chips and salsa to start - so delicious and I love the little bit of heat in the salsa. Chimichanga was crispy, savory, juicy and the queso was just so good I would've licked the plate. Definitely have to come back to try some other items on the menu. While looking around, everyone's food looked amazing. read more

We love this Mexican restaurant and have been coming here for years. Although, it seems the prices have gone overboard, so I took off a star due to the overinflated prices. Noticed that the portion size also had decreased. However, the service is still great! Just not sure we will come as often as we once did due to the price inflation. Food was still delicious! Just too expensive for what you are getting now. read more
