I have been going to Pepe's since they opened in '69. The tacos are still very good and a great value. You can't find a better, inexpensive meal anywhere in town to match Pepe's. Even when we lived in other locations our first stop was Pepe's whenever we came to town to visit family or go to an Aggie game. Keep up the great work Kip. Would like to have a Pepe's in South College Station to make it easier for us to get our Pepe's fix easier. read more

Ate here for the first time in MANY years. Had the Nacho Grande. Tasted like it did when I made them working at the Dominik location in 1987. Glad some things stay the same. read more

Discovered this Gem using the Nift app. Excellent food & service in their 50th year of business! read more

Went here multiple times for lunch when I made the unfortunate mistake of believing Bryan/Collie Station would be a good place to live. This place has good quality fast Mexican food with very good prices. I had some comical experiences ordering from the drive thru. One time when Pepe's was trying to compete with one of Freebird's giant burritos, I was convinced by the order taker to try the "bandito burrito." They were worried my car may not be able to handle the weight of the burrito. In a most proud aggie/collie station/southern farmer accent I was asked; "Howz ur suspenshun in that thar vhickle"? I answered that I would take a chance and the burrito was good but too big and messy. Overall, this place has good Mexican fast food for really good prices. Way better than taco bell/cabana. read more

Not certain why I've not been here before. Will be going back frequently. The food was incredible! The prices were awesome. I even ran into Kip. He was such a great host. Well run and organized business, friendly employees, great food at a great price. A fan after my first visit! read more

Great fast food despite the dumpy building. Recommendations: Queso pie (like frito pie but with queso, meat, lettuce, mmmm. Add lotsa sauce), crispy tacos (add lotsa sauce), beef burritos (add lotsa sauce). The sauce is addictive but I guess you gathered that. Pepe's beats Taco Bell with a stick. Shake off the dump it's in and you'll love the food. read more

Their food is wonderful. The service is great. The combo burritos are my favorite but all their food is good. The building, not so much. The roof in the dining room has leaked for years when it rains. The carpet in the dining room is black with filth and sticks to your shoes when you walk on it. If you go there to eat at night you will notice that the only lights on the outside that work is the sign attached to the building. The concrete in the drive thru is all cracked and broken up. The wood that is holding up the drive thru cano is rotting. I can't dine inside any longer without losing my appetite. Please put some money into your building. You are losing customers because of it, not the food. Update: They replaced the Pepe's sign!They fixed the drive through speaker and driveway! Thanks. Looks so much better! read more

Home town taste that you keep.coming back for. The food is always fresh and delicious. When I lived in Bryan, I ate at Pepe's about once a week for about 25 years. Now that I'm in Austin, I miss it. But I try to go by every time I'm in town. Congratulations on 50 years and also the upgrades to the interior and the new sign. read more

What a horrible place! It's dirty and it's falling apart - the ceilings and the walls and the furniture. The food is pure garbage. I guess you get what you pay for -- it's a really cheap place. However, you have to pay for water! Even if you have ordered two "entrées". Don't ever go there! I'd give it negative stars if I could. read more

Not a fan. Sadly, we stopped here on the recommendation of a friend and wish we hadn't. The food was misrable. The sitting area was dirty. Honestly, I don't remember the service at the counter. We got a taco and a cheese enchilada. High in greasy taste and low in excitement. The husband declared Taco Bell way better and he dislikes them with a passion. Won't be returning. read more

I grew up here and every time I come home I go to good ol' Pepe's. It didn't disappoint today. I got three beef soft tacos with that yummy sauce. They weren't greasy and they're slightly smaller than your standard soft taco. It was messy because it was overstuffed, but there are worse problems to have. If I lived here, this would totally be my post-drinking spot. read more

Pepes is the best kept secret in BCS. I've grown up in CS and been a regular since high school. Pepes isn't a competitor of Abuelos, Ninfas, on the border etc. Although I would rather have Pepes than any of them, don't go there expecting to sit down and have free chips and salsa brought to your table (see reviews below), as they are more aligned with the likes of Taco Bell, Taco Cabana or Taco Casa. They are not mass produced or corporate and the effect of that is evident in the food. Items are fresh, cooked daily and cheap. Both of the salsas are better than anywhere else in town. If you are a student here enjoy it while you can, you can have that other fast food garbage from PepsiCo and friends when you go back to Houston or Dallas.i read more

I came here a couple times in the late 90's, and was not impressed, but being there recently, I thought I'd see if they were any different, as an acquaintance had recommended it recently. Sorry people, it was pretty much like I remembered it. I had a steak fajita burrito, since their taco options were limited, a tamale, and chips & salsa. The burrito was every bit as bad as at Taco Bell. Nay, as their Burrito Supreme. Eech! I didn't ask for sour cream, and warm, cheap, watery sour cream really annoys me. An then there's the refried beans. They too were cheap, and old, and like I remembered, on or in everything they can pile it onto or cram it into. I really had to dig around to find the meat in this tube of goo. The tamale was the same Sysco/U.S. Foods/Wal-Mart & Sam's Club crap I find at non-Mexican joints. They are puny, the size of my middle finger, disgustingly greasy, and beneath the pasty corn dough dwells a pork paste seasoned like that revolting cheap breakfast chorizo. But at least the burrito didn't have that funky Taco Bell taste & smell: Pepe's meat did taste like beef, not something frozen, reconstituted, and then stewed for hours on the steam table like Taco Hell. read more

Talk about local staple. My husband grew up here and though we had never lived here he kept talking about this place all the time I just had to come when we first visited Bryan. Still down home atmosphere and super affordable and yummy food. Try golden taco and tortilla soup! I just tried the soup for the first time and I'm hooked! Oh and don't forget the red sauce! Green sauce IS HOT! read more

You get what you pay for. I don't expect much when I can pay for my meal in coins, but I should have lowered my standards just a bit more. Honestly, there's not much more I can say about it. It's cheap. read more

I used to come here all the time while I was enrolled at A&M, it was nice to come back by while I was in town.

Amazing food with an amazing price. Service was quick and very nice, really hard to say a bad thing about this unless you are looking for it. read more

I opened a yelp account just to say how wonderful the service was. Kindly help, when told it was my first time there the cashier offered me queso to try and a soft drink even though I hadn't purchased one. She told me about the history of the family owned restraint and made some recommendations for lunch. Breakfast tacos were good, so I'll be back. 5 stars for good service! Thank you! read more

A long time favorite Fast Food Tex Mex Place. Think better than Taco Bell and privately owned. My favorites are Fiesta Salad and Queso Pie!

Wyatt that works there is super rude and unprofessional. My order was taken wrong and instead of fixing it he wanted to argue with me over a drink that was suppose to come with my food but my order was rung up wrong and when I tried to tell him that he just kept talking over me and interrupting me! And he wanted to put me out the restaurant because I wouldn't let him talk because I wanted to get my point across and he wouldn't let me talk..I thought I was the customer read more

Queso burrito was fantastic as usual. Lots of queso, onions, olives and meat with chips for dipping.

Gross! The "fajita" meat was a disgrace to Fajitas! The restrooms were disgusting and the ceiling was leaking mildew water. I completely got sick eating here. This is NOT Mexican food! My kids loved the fruit burritos which is the only thing, in my opinion keeping this place open. read more

You get what you pay for. The food is more tex mex than mexican food but my expectations were not high based on the prices. I got chips and queso, a burrito, and an enchilada all for around five bucks. Food was okay, not great but not bad either. Decent customer service, not over the top but not rude either. They were having some technical difficulties with the speaker in the drive thru, so i didn't get a good chance to look over the menu before i was asked to pull up to the window to order. I probably won't return for personal preferences but its not bad if you like tex mex and want a cheap meal. read more

The place was beyond nasty and dirty inside. Employee was seen with his hand sort of down his pants readjusting himself!!! Also pricing was quite a bit higher than advertised. Definitely won't be returning. read more

SO and I were just driving down the road looking for a place to eat at around 10am and we decided to go into Pepe's. I was pretty excited because they had burritos and I've been looking for a go to place for burritos for a while. I ordered a combo burrito and SO got the beef burrito and two beef soft tacos. All in all we won't be returning and this place doesn't have good burritos. Basically, a local Taco Bell or Del Taco. My stomach felt queasy the entire day and I could feel the subpar ground beef mixture trying to make its way back up. Many other good Mexican places to go to in Bryan. read more

I came by the other night. The open sign was on, it was before closing time, they were still helping another customer. I pull up to the speaker, wait a few minutes to be waited on, the guy comes over the speaker and says we're closed. The open sign was still on as I left the parking lot. Pepe's WAS my favorite restaurant of all time. I can't say that anymore, every time I go there the restaurant is failing apart, most of the time the employees aren't helpful, the food is old and the portions are small. read more

I'm new to the BCS area and it was suggested that I try Pepe's. I was not disappointed! It's cheap and the Supreme Chalupas were amazing! The queso is a little bland but overall I'm going back! read more

Pepe's is absolutely AMAZING!!! It's inexpensive and truly delicious. Make sure to pay attention to how friendly the staff is. Will definitely keep coming back read more

Great food and a great environment. Very friendly staff and management! Tacos, burritos, salads, you name it! Everything you order is great. I'm a regular here, and that will never change. I have to eat Pepe's at least once a week! read more

Pepe's is as good as it gets for Mexican fast food. I'd liken it to a gourmet taco bueno/taco bell. Price are just as cheap, service is just as fast, but the quality and flavor are WAY better. Plus you get warm friendly service with a smile. Pepe's is a total hole in the wall and the exterior facade of the facility might deter some from giving it a chance, but I assure you if you give Pepe's a try you won't be disappointed. The best darn Mexican fast food around... Hands down! read more

Yes I am a fan just dont tell anybody. Just kidding, this is a greasty taco shack that makes some pretty good mexican fast food. It is better than taco bell and is more authentic than taco bell. This is not a place to go if you are looking for something to knock your socks off but it is a good alternative to taco bell if that is what you are in the mood for. Big portions and a really low price. Now this deserves 3 stars but since everyone is not giving it any credit then ill give it a little more than it deserves. read more

I am a fan of this place, but I had heard about their queso for years and frankly it was disappointing. The taco's are quite good, and something about this place makes me want to try it again. read more

Went here for the first time today. It was pretty good. I had the steak tacos. The steak is pretty poor quality honestly but the lettuce cheese and rice is really good. The queso was also pretty good. Not much flavor though. Super cheap food. I'll go again but not my favorite Mexican place in college station. read more

Food was good but the meal was ruined by the booty shaking hip hop music. I watched as other customers took their seats started on their food and left. Been going here for years but I think I am done after this. read more

Good food, great prices, and the friendliest staff. Wonderful homemade salsa, get the red. From the loaded tostadas to the biggest burrito the flavor is real. The Pepe's special breakfast burrito is also slamming good. read more

I stopped by here cause I've never tried it and it's close to my apartment so I figured why not? I ordered the Steak Fajita Dinner(in the drive thru) and soon as I'm getting ready to eat I see a long black curly hair in the bag of chips that was given to me. I didn't even want to eat anymore and that is the reason why I'm giving this restaurant one star. I will definitely not come back here again. read more

Thought I'd try them out. Went through the drive thru. Ordered 2 nacho platter, 2 chicken burrito and Frito pie for $26. A little pricey for plain and tasteless food. Nachos were very disappointing. Needless to say, not coming here again. I'll go to Taco Bell next time. read more

So after finishing my workout, I thought to myself, what do I want for dinner? Then the radio commercial about the "BANDIDO BURRITO" starting replaying in my head (damn catchy ad) and there I was. The Breakdown... Steak Fajita Bandido Burrito: This big burrito was so big that it exploded on me. The steak was very tender, but had some chewy, tendon pieces. Overall it was a good mix of flavors, and the hot sauce (in containers) was good too. Not sure what business the lettuce had in my burrito. Frito Pie ($2.59 before tax): Decent, but got soggy quick. A bit disappointed by the size for the price. I prob wouldn't get it again. Steak fajita burrito ($4.29 before tax): Not a very well constructed burrito & had an unwanted surprise of lettuce. Nevertheless, decent flavor, very tender fajita meat. Final Remarks: Damn, gotta hit the gym again... '15 read more

I had heard great things about this place, but unfortunately this ended up being the worst Mexican food I have eaten in 20+ years. I had the nachos and a bean burrito. I have had better at Taco Bell. At least the food was cheap. I ended up throwing most of mine away. read more

Been coming here for 18 years! Great, cheap food and an awesome manager Love both salsas and the queso, and the crispy super tacos are my go-to order. You can find the owner there frequently and he's always friendly. read more
