I still know Pepe's Mexican Cafe' as Pepe Taco! They have been in this location since I was a child. The owners are as good as people come. They are a family that puts their community first. Though I no longer live in Bryan, I have to drop by when I am in town. So many great childhood memories here... Upon arriving, we met Chip (the owner) outside cleaning tables. We struck up a conversation with him and it was immediately apparent that he cared about his bushiness and customers. He explained how he wanted his Taco's to be the best tasting and affordable in the area. I could see that this business is family to him. I really enjoyed our conversation. We went inside and ordered our food. And just as soon as we sat, the order was out. We had Tacos, Chalupas and Burritos. I don't know why, but I only order bean burritos with extra onions here. The have really good refried beans with the sweet crunch of onions. I will never stop by without one of these! The Taco and Chalupas were also really very good. In fact, we ordered another taco and it was out the window before I could turn around! Last, I was surprised at the food total for three people. It was like nine dollars and change. I don't know how you'd beat that! I hope you'll give these good folks a try and keep a local monument to the community going for many, many more years. read more

Everything I have tried is great. Service was fast both drive thru and inside was fast and accurate.

Simple, delicious Tex-Mex. The inside could use an upgrade and a good cleaning. But it will not deter us from stopping by whenever we come to town. read more

GOLDEN TACO ALL THE WAY!!!! I never ever ever get back to Bryan, but I had the opportunity today to take a 2 hour detour just for the Golden Taco and it was 100% worth it. I hope this gem last forever. Even ran into the owner and was greeted with a smile and appreciation. Aggieland don't ever let this place go! I can't wait to go back. read more

Solía ser un bonito lugar a donde ir a almorzar o cenar, algunos años atrás, cuando su dueño original lo atendía, pero, desde que la nueva administración se en cargó, este sitio se ha convertido en una pocilga maloliente y patetica, definitivamente, el lugar ha sido destruido, el nuevo manager ha sido un rotundo fracaso, es una pena.​ read more

Food is amazing! It is the perfect Tex-Mex quick pick up meal! My personal favorite is the Frito Burrito. The red salsa isn't called award winning for nothing, it is FANTASTIC! The workers and manager are very kind and have very great service. Overall, one of my favorite places to eat here in cstat! read more

I got the taco burger, a pork tamale, and a chalupa and some chips and salsa. I never got the chips only the salsa, but after I tried the salsa with the other food I wouldn't have wanted it anyways. Everything I got was flavorless no matter how much salsa I put on it. NEVER get the tamale it was sooo tiny. I only did the drive thru so I can't speak much about the cleanliness but the lady taking my order was impatient and less than welcoming. Overall I won't be coming back unless I am drunk because it is walking distance from my house. read more

Great food, after but be wary when they ask whether you want a receipt if you pay with a credit card, because if you decide on no receipt, the personnel after 3pm will add the highest tip amount (3%) to the final amount due. Happened twice in drive thru, with same lady. Be careful and ask for receipt or pay cash. read more

The actually price on the restaurant menu is different from the one they posted on their website. I think they increased their price recently and did not update the website. Could have give a 4 if the price wasn't a surprise. Me and my friend ordered queso pie and fish tacos. The queso pie taste average bc the queso here is just as normal. It should contain chili, but I did not taste it. The fried fish in the fish taco is tasty and I really like it. However, the tortilla is cold and dry. read more

Support Pepe's one of the best for a quick meal! The queso burrito never disappoints.

Ordered thru Favor, on their app there is not a place to order Pepe's famous chips and queso. If you order queso you get a small plastic container but no chips!! Although I have had good and bad experience the food itself never disappoints, just very glad he finally has a friendly staff! read more

Pepe's Mexican Cafe has been a staple in my family. I know my parents started going there when they first started. The food is great! Kip Martin is a wonderful person. I highly recommend Pepe's. I always recommend to my friends if they are new to this area. The prices are reasonable price with a great food selection. The service is served hot and ready to go. Always get the red and green sauces. They are amazing! read more

Solid Mexican food with cheap prices. They have an extensive menu to choose from. No frills, just good food in a small clean restaurant. A Bryan, Texas institution since 1969. read more

So a bean and cheese was 2.47 and I have never paid so much ! Everywhere else is 79 cents to 1.25 for them ... cheap more like cheap trick ! I just threw them all away never going there again ! read more

Food was good, service was good. Vibes of the restaurant were a little quiet for my taste, but the interior was cute.

Used to be so good.. now food is always cold.. tortillas break they are so cold.. sad.. plus lobby is never opened.

Soooooo bad. Went outside and threw up in the parking lot. Only took a couple of bites. I ate here every day in 1976. I guess you really can't go back to your beginnings. I told my husband about this place for years. I feel like a fool now telling him how good it was. And how much better it was. Was is the key word here. WAS BUT NOT NOW! I'm so very upset. They were so rude when we ordered our "food", I use that word loosely, it looked gross and tasted worse. Even the ice tea was weak and tasteless. I was told the owner died and no one goes there anymore. I didn't get the memo. The burger place next door was great. We left the nasty food at the table. We couldn't even tell what it was. We got different things but they looked exactly the same, brown and gross and man it stank. read more

Best cheap Mexican food. Fast and great service especially the owner always has a smile even during rush hour. Their chicken wraps are my go tos, basically an updated taco on a big tortilla. Most places do sour cream and tomato which I hate both but Pepe's does beans and pico for only 3$. Haven't gone to Taco Bell since being introduced here. read more

Great place, checked it out for the first time after driving by it for the past couple months. Will be my go to mex-food restaurant now. Fast, affordable and good service. What more can you want/ask for! Will be going back soon when I get the urge for Mexican food! read more

No menu and very dirty! The owner of the restaurant cussed out his employees for no reason! Will not be back!! It's over priced and the food is not good too!! read more

The price is pretty great for what you get. The queso was pretty good and thick, and the tacos were tasty. The tacos were kind of cold when I got them, and the whole place looked like it could use some major renovations. read more

Don't know how I forget about this place from time to time but when I do remember I go like 3 days in a row. Food always fresh, flavorful, reasonable prices and consistent which says a lot for it to be opened all these years. Only disappointment is the line is always so long during lunch. If I lived closer I would be a regular for dinner. read more

I would've given 5 stars for the food, since the taste is exactly as it was 20 years ago. However, I was really disgusted when I walked into the men's restroom. I have never seen a more disgusting restroom. For the cost of a meal, the men's toilet seat could be replaced. read more

Been rocking w Pepe's since the 80's ! When I come back home to BCS, I make sure I stop and get me some food! Still great! - now when y'all coming to Houston? read more

We went through the drive thru last week and ordered a taco salad, chicken fiesta salad, and beef burrito. The taco salad had meat, beans, olives, and a few tomatoes. NO lettuce or cheese. The chicken fiesta salad became a chicken fajita salad with honestly 2 pieces of meat, olives, and some lettuce only. Luckily the beef burrito was okay. I am from Bryan and have been going to Pepe's since it opened so needless to say we were extremely disappointed. The food and service have been declining since the pandemic but this was totally unacceptable. Needless to say we won't be going back for a while. read more

I only put one star because I couldn't put none got veggie tacos the tortillas were not cooked beans were cold ingredients were frozen definitely a whole on the wall friendly staff though .. but wouldn't even consider this Tex mex .. what upset me the most is as how cold my food was .. also it was freezing inside its 39 degrees outside and atleast 30 in here if the food was warm or even seasoned I would have given it two stars .. do not recommend even if your starving.. now we know where not to eat.. read more

Terrible service. made us wait 15 min just to tell us they ran out of taco supplies at 10:15 in the morning. Taco Bell customer service is a 10/10 compared to these people. read more

The BEST queso on the planet. Seriously. Nothing beats it. And the red sauce. Also amazing. I get bowls of it and put it on everything at home. I also stop by every time I'm headed out of town to see my parents to grab massive quantities of queso, red sauce, and taco meat to take to them. Slightly disappointed they recently switched to Pepsi products, but that just means I'll have to get water when I go and that's healthier anyway, right? read more

Easily some of the worst food I've ever had anywhere. Got the enchiladas that just looked like a mess of food in a box, and the taste was horrible. read more

Love Pepe's! Pepe's has been my go to for over 20 yrs! I love the fiesta salad and of course the hot sauce.

Ummm tried it once With my best friend like3 yrs ago didn't like and and recently I figured I'd give it a try nope I didn't like still u had a taco w side of quasi and chips the taco had no flavor it was a 2 rating and the queso was not great it was a 1 rating not going back there again sorry I tried. HOLD THE FRONT DOOR!...Ok so this was my thought about 3 more years ago... let's just say it has improved big time. I have been back and the people are very nice and the owner is super duper nice. My husband was the one to get me to come back I was so hesitant to even eat here but I did and let's say I'm glad I tried again. read more

My wife and I use to eat here all the time during our college days at A&M. We went to the game today and figured we would get a taste of our college days. Since we last been to Pepe's this place has changed dramatically for the worse. The place looks rundown and a sight for sore eyes. Even noticing that, we still ordered. That's where we made the mistake. We get home and open the queso and find a screw in it. Seeing that we stay in Houston, there is really nothing for us to do but let others know of our experience. read more

It was very good and wish I've known about this place before. The food tasted really good

I recently came to eat here for the first time at the recommendation of a long standing local resident. I enjoyed it very much and have been back twice on my own in the month since. Somewhat like fast food tex mex but w more flare, flavor, fresher ingredients and shall I dare say home cooking. I have only eaten their super taco, super burrito, queso burrito and super tostada but all are remarkably good. The tostada and taco actually remind me of some of my moms cooking growing up w its simplicity and obviously fresh chopped ingredients. The red sauce is good and has a tad of sweetness to it that makes it almost addicting. The portions are large and the prices are low. I will admit that the inside decor is a bit old and nothing to marvel at but its not a deal breaker for a foodie like me as I enjoy the old school atmosphere and super friendly service. read more

We come to Pepe taco quite often. I came Thursday night at 10pm because the website says it closes at 11pm and the lady just kept yelling "we're closed, we're closed". That was rude and please change your hours on your website if you're closing at a different time. read more

I love this place! Great tacos and chili. Queso is a must have. The service is very friendly and fast. Price is great too. Don't pass this one up. read more

Very underwhelming experience. Their queso is similar to nacho cheese you get at a ballgame. I've never been a big fan of olives in tex mex but that's more of a personal thing. Spoke with the owner and he was a nice guy, which is one of the only reasons I didn't give this place 1 star. Frankly, not sure how it's still around, very sub par food. If I never eat here again I wouldn't be sad. read more

The price and the speed are the only reason for the extra star. After taking a few minutes to decide what we wanted, we alerted the employee taking orders we were ready. She walked over, grabbed her phone next to the register and started texting, leaving us awkwardly waiting for her to take our order. But when she finally rung up our order it was less than a minute before our number was called. So walking in, they have displayed on their window "award winning salsa." I didn't know they gave out Razzies for salsa. It tasted like they took pizza sauce and replaced the oregano and basil with cumin. Who puts sugar in salsa?? Other reviewers compare this place to Taco Bell and Taco Cabana and I would have to agree. Bland, fast and cheap. If you want TexMex there are far better places in town, maybe not for as cheap. But for me, if I'm going to eat that many calories, I better enjoy it. read more

Wish I could leave no stars really disappointed how bad they treat you when the boss man isn't there terrible customer service drive thru guy forgot to give me change so I tried calling multiple times after getting sent to voicemail or hung up on I finally got thru and for the lady to pick up and basically call me a liar saying the guy did give me my change back refusing to hear me out all said and done I backed out fed my soggy food to my dogs will never come back unless they hire a whole new staff read more

This is our go to drive thru fast Mexican food! They are always friendly and our order is hardly ever wrong. I always order extra salsa because it's delicious! read more
