Fun diner. Everyone was super friendly. Really good food. Decent pricing. Easy parking. Fun diner vibe. Highly recommend.

Pepe's Cafe was one of the best breakfast eateries we've had in Cottonwood! As you enter the establishment you are greeted by who appears to be the owner. The serving staff were all exceptional! Service with a smile! The 3 meat omelet with their home style potatoes was very scrumptious!! My wife had the veggie omelet cooked just how she wanted it. The ambience was very friendly. Made one feel like being welcomed into their home! Highly recommend Pepe's Cafe for breakfast!! read more

Such friendly people. Cute diner, comfy seats, good prices, big menu. Food was decent. Only thing that didn't suit me was the country music playing kind of loud over the speakers. Overall, great place and I'd come back. read more

Just had our first meal at Pepe's, and it was great! Excellent breakfast at reasonable prices, extremely attentive staff, quick service, & the best part was we were really made to feel our business was appreciated. What a fresh concept! read more

Had a chorizo breakfast burrito. It was a good sized burrito, good price, and very tasty. Take away service was great. read more

Service was great and very quick. The food was not very good. My omelet was burnt. Asked for crispy potatoes were soggy. The red sauce had no flavor. The coffee was terrible it tasted like water. read more

Definitely a great find. Food and service were both excellent. Small dining area and packed with people when we were there. A small gem for breakfast or lunch. read more

Another local favorite. Anything you get here is beyond amazing. The staff is so friendly and grateful for everyone's support. The ambiance is nice and you always leave making a new friend! read more

This place is the real deal. I was greeted and seated right away, and both my server and a man who I believe is the owner were incredibly attentive. My food came out quickly. The place, including the women's restroom, is as clean as a whistle. I order the chili (pork) omelette. It was delicious, as were the hashbrowns. Their iced tea was good too--not watered down and not bitter. On top of everything else, they are open at the asscrack of dawn for us early birds (all the old men and me), and their prices are low. Give Pepe's a try! read more

This is a very well run restaurant with great food at fair prices. It was very clean and the service was excellent. It really was a pleasure to eat here as we don't have any authentic Mexican food where I live. read more

This is a great diner! I've been here many times and have never been disappointed. They serve breakfast all day which I love. Steak and eggs are one of my favorites but all breakfast items are excellent. They have a great selection of lunch options as well. The prices can't be beat anywhere in Cottonwood. I honestly don't know how they make money besides the fact that they are always packed. The service is amazing and the owner is always welcoming every single patron in person. Fantastic ambiance for a diner and an overall great restaurant. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. Staff greets you at the door to seat you immediately. Owner is always there to help and make you feel welcome. Drinks and food are sent out so fast and everything is soooo delicious and cooked perfectly!! Hubs and I go once a week when our kid is getting therapy... Oh and the prices can't be beat!!!! read more

Love this place. Service is always fast and efficient. Very reasonably priced. Your drink cup is never empty or even close to empty. The restaurant is small but they manage the tables very quickly. The menu is extensive. I wish they were open more hours. read more

Amazing service & food. I highly recommend the Pepe omelette with a side a bacon. Fun diner vibe with very hard working staff.

Come here once a month or so. Great food. Cheapest breakfast in the Verde Valley. Love the pork green chile omelet! Great specials and very friendly staff. The owner greets all guests and is always cheerful and glad to see you. read more

service was GREAT.. food, not so much.. my omelette was overcooked, and i asked for 'crispy' potatoes, but they came out soggy, like they just doused them in butter to try and make them crispy, but that didn't work. the coffee was terrible.. read more

This place is Cottonwoods hidden gem. If you want quick service with a smile, fair price and good food...look no further, this is the place for you! No wonder they are such hard workers and so quick, almost everyone in there is Hispanic and so friendly I asked for salsa and the lady brought me like 5 different options and never made me feel bad and said she could even bring more if I didn't like those small little hometown feel and they opened the door for us when we came in. The food was good, nothing crazy but hits the spot for the price and amazing service. read more

We ordered to go from this restaurant and I had the Ruben. Let's just say the second half tasted funky, and I quit eating it and sure enough the next day I was sick. My friends food was great. Maybe one day I'll try again. read more

The food was excellent. The service was wonderful and the ambiance had plenty of lighting.

Service is 5 stars. Food is always great! Not happy with yelp making me use at least 85 characters. Pepe's diner is amazing. Not everyone has the time to sit here and try to come up with 85 characters. I'm a very busy woman. Maybe shorten up the character requirement and people would rate things more often. read more

Only open for breakfast to lunch but great service, great food and plenty of it at a great price, my go to breakfast place can't go wrong eating here. read more

After a long journey, we stopped by and were instantly greeted & seated. The menu has great options, but I opted for the cheese enchiladas with French fries instead of the usual rice and beans. The enchiladas were flavorful, and the fries were perfectly crispy - a satisfying combination. Their horchata was another highlight, especially with getting a refill, which was a pleasant surprise! The staff was friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Pepe's Cafe is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Cottonwood. read more

Wow!! service here is absolutely amazing. Have been twice for breakfast and both times food and service were excellent. This place gets super crowded - even early for breakfast (ie before 8am during weekends). Enjoyed the breakfast burrito and hubby got bacon & eggs both times. Can't compliment the service enough. Very very friendly and accommodating. Kitchen seems super efficient and they have flavored creamer which makes my husband happy. We just bought a home in Clarkdale and suspect we will become regulars. Looking forward to trying for lunch next time! read more

Stopped in for lunch, parking is easy. Was greeted and seated quickly. The menu is huge with both Mexican and and American offerings. Ordered chicken taco plate, came out fast and well presented. Two tacos rice and beans $10.49. It was good. This is nice clean and freindly restaraunt with and old school diner vibe. read more

Standards are held high here with great leadership and great service. All around the food is really good and very affordable after a trip in Cottonwood read more

Like arriving at your relative's house, arriving to Pepe's is heartwarming. We arrived early in the morning, like 6am, and were greeted at the entrance by an energetic man with a great smile. He treated us like family. Sat us down in a classic diner style booth. Fun atmosphere with great music playing in the background and a great staff. A different person got us coffee, and someone else took our order. While we enjoyed our coffee, we could hear the staff welcoming other guests and making each other laugh. Our highly customized order came out super fast and amazingly accurate. It was hot and delicious. We never felt rushed to leave, plenty of coffee refills. Bathrooms were average, but clean. On our way out, a priest and his entourage were coming in. (No, not the setup of a joke ). They were treated like royalty. Lots of hugs. Fun sight. Fun staff. Great place. read more

This is my favorite place to eat on the regular! The prices are better than anywhere else in town, Jose and his crew are always so happy to see everyone and the food is always quick and delicious! Hands down my go to place! read more

We were looking for a Mexican style restaurant that served breakfast and saw this location on yelp. They had good ratings so we gave them a try. They are only open for breakfast and lunch so you have to get there earlier in the day if you want to get a spot. They were pretty busy, but the service was top notch with several different people taking care of our table. I ordered the special Spinach and Feta Omelet with hashbrowns and sourdough toast. My husband had the special Pork Verde Omelet. My omelet was nice and fluffy with plenty of spinach and feta. It was a 3 egg omelet and was just the right portion for my needs. The omelet was tasty and didn't have that waxiness that spinach can sometimes have when cooked. The hashbrowns were a bit thin and crusty and didn't taste very fresh. The sourdough toast was cooked well and worked with my grape jam selection. We came during the pandemic, and the staff was wearing masks and gloves. They weren't enforcing social distancing on seating, but there seemed to be adequate distance between tables. I would stop back in again for a good breakfast if I'm back in the area. read more
