This place is such a cute little quick burrito spot! Super convenient location! The burritos are nice and big! (The way they are supposed to be) very fairly priced, and it's next to the beach, which is even better! My friend and I enjoyed the strand burritos and we will definitely be coming back again! Thanks for the great service guys !! (: read more

I was really impressed with their carne asada street tacos that come with chips and green salsa. My total bill was only $5.36 for two. This place has nice outdoor seating and the service is fast. read more

Many years ago I gave Pepe's a 2. In the last two years I've been back a few times and the food is good. Priced just right and made with care. Thank you Pepes. read more

Food is solid and decently priced. Portions are good. They can be skimpy on protein portions in my opinion with their burritos, but the tacos are delicious. I wouldn't drive out of my way for it but if you happen to be around the Oxnard beaches, it's a good choice. read more

I love Pepe's. It's a great place to grab and go for food. There's a few tables but it's more for waiting. It's a corner small building over by the beach. There's no bathrooms here so if you need to go then probably not the place. It's a takeout place. The food is great and cheaper than places nearby. Staff is great as well. read more

The tacos were very soggy and wet burrito only had cheese on top, no sauce. We asked for no onions but they still included it, so we had to go back and have them remake our order. Super disappointing since we had heard many good things about this place. read more

Pepe's Mexican Food - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

Was excited to try again after old owners came back. We got two breakfast burritos and they were basically a rice, bean and cheese burrito with Very little egg. No bacon which we asked for and no potatoes. Terrible. Won't be back for a breakfast burrito for sure!! read more

On a whim, my husband and I were walking through the little town shopping center and saw Mariscos. The restaurant owner welcomed us to sit down anywhere. Shrimp Cocktail was good for the price and the street tacos were Awesome and the ingredients were fresh. I loved those tacos. I can't wait for more. Clean and ambience was nice . We were treated with such respect and kindness read more

Pepe's is the best Mexican food ever. We live in AZ, and I wish they had a spot there. But there's no place like the one in the Nard. We love it so much! We got married here and had them cater it. Viva Pepe's! read more

Sort ratings by most recent to past, and you'll see why this place is at minimum, a 4 star spot. Quick breakdown: it's been a beloved beach shack from at least the 1980's with consistently good food and service, then the owners sold it and those peeps did not keep the standards up. OG owners reclaim the place and now it's chef's kiss again for locals and visitors alike. It's a take-out shack, but has 4-5 picnic type tables outside that seat 2 people each. There were 3 orders ahead of us but service was still fast - maybe a 10 minute wait while we sipped on our drinks and enjoyed the salty beach air. Hubs and I had a breakfast platter (shredded beef) and burrito (chorizo). Everything was fresh - portions were huge - could only finish half of each dish. I asked for hot sauce and they gave me a tub of salsa which seems homemade - it packed some serious heat! They also have house made agua frescas. I had a small horchata...again, plenty big and nearly couldn't finish it. This place is now in the regular rotation. We'll be back! read more

This is a place I have been coming back to for over a decade. It started when I was in high school and all my friends surfed. So we frequently were near the beach. I wasn't super into Mexican food back then, however, I actually enjoyed this place. It feels more Tex mex to me, which is fine in my book. All and all, I've never had a bad meal at this establishment. I keep coming back and ordering the same this and it never changes. Let's keep it running. read more

Authentic and delicious. Prices are great and the staff is very friendly. I wish they were open later but I understand why they're not since Silverstrand is such a sleepy beach town. read more

Friendly, Fair and very good food! It's what a real, honest taco stand should be! Always people and school kids hanging around. Service if fast and friendly. Huge portions. Great variety. Home made taste. Love it! read more

Pepe's Mexican Food never misses! The ceviche is super fresh, and the breakfast and asada burritos are so yum!! Total win every time!

Food was very good and portions are generous, so come hungry! Be prepared for a wait though, it took around 30 minutes for them to prepare our lunch for 6 during the busy lunch hour on a Saturday. We ordered a Silver Strand burrito, 2 bean burritos, an Asada torta, a carnitas chimichanga and 2 fish tacos. Everyone reported positive reviews, although my 8 year old had trouble with the bean and cheese burrito because it was so stuffed it was spilling out. Looked like a lot of locals were here getting food. In the future if I ate here again I would call in the order. It is really a take out place--there are some tables outside, but people mostly sit there while waiting for their food. Keep in mind it's cash only. read more

Fantastic food at affordable prices very clean with fast service! Very big menu to choose from.

Before we got our food at this true hole in the wall restaurant that only has outside seating in a beautiful serene neighborhood, we spotted a local seated at a table outside the restaurant eating. Good sign if locals eat at a place. It was excellent food that we all enjoyed a lot. The food came out quickly and was hot. read more

Great little taco stand near the beach. Fantastic weather, picnic style tables out front or just grab your food and walk 2 minutes to the beach or harbor. They sell beer to go, and have a pretty extensive menu of which vegetarian options can be made vegan. This place is an icon at Silver Strand beach and you will be missing out if you don't try it. Burritos are huge. I always split one with a friend. read more

Good food for many years., we keep returning for yummy Mexican food. I hope they last forever.

A local institution. Super-Fast, delicious, inexpensive. Not really a restaurant, though they have some outside seating. The staff is nice to you and the beach is a stone's throw away. This They do a brisk to-go business Silver strand Burrito is my choice. Definitely try this. read more

This little gem is always delicious!! Great friendly customer service and a big selection of menu items with lots of weekly specials casual atmosphere and fair prices read more

Great food at great prices! Try the Strand burrito, it life changing. Awesome customer service

Original owners are back with a bang! Wow! Simply perfectly delicious carnitas tacos, scrumptious crispy shell asada tacos, tasty salsa roja and verde along with extremely friendly service. We will be regulars! This is on the rotations of favorite taco stops now! Sitting outside at the little tables is nice on a sunny summer afternoon but no indoor seating. Grab & go or chill and munch. Yum! read more

Pepe's of old is back -- Hip, hip, hooray! I had a toasted carne asada burrito for lunch and it was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Additionally, the menu was on full display along with their prices. FYI: Pepe's now takes all forms of payment (Venmo, too) rather than just cash -- very convenient! The staff is exceptionally friendly especially the attractive female host that takes your order (Sadly, I forgot her name). I plan on visiting more frequently. John Howard Oxnard, Calif. read more

After 50 years Pepe's is back. Absolutely amazing fish Tacos. Quit going out of my way after it was sold? So they are back on my worth a 20 mile trip for a taco. read more

Back to the original owners. Thank goodness. Best fish tacos on the planet Carne Asada burritos everything is very good.

Local here. Loved Pepe's back in the day when everyone would just go there cash in hand to grab a couple (or 4) fish tacos (the best) and devour them either on the benches out front or more likely to take back home. It was inexpensive and absolutely delicious. Non locals, surfers and just people in the know would stop by and buy fish tacos at this Silverstrand gem. Then, they sold it and it was horrible. For years!! Horrible. Original owners are back and the food is again delicious. Old fish tacos are back BUT are way too expensive. I get it. Prices have increased everywhere. But $5/taco? This is a taco stand. Come on. Disappointing. If it were more cost friendly, we'd eat here at least 3 times per week. I think a lot of people feel the same way. It's definitely not as busy as it used to be back in the day. For the actual fare, I'd give it 4.5 stars. For the cost I'd give it 2 stars. read more

These were the best beef tacos I have had in years. The only ones that come close were the tacos from Sal's Mexican Inn before they closed.

There were bugs in my soda. Literal bugs. Not ants. Bugs. Wasn't 1 or 2 bugs it was literally 10. I'm really disappointed and grossed out. It made me throw away my whole meal and leave. read more

Pepe's Mexican Food - a cloudy day - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

Shoot... I tried this place 3 times since it's in my hood. I want it to be yummy but it's just BLEH... Hoping they see this to fix the simple problems. Really no flavor to the meat or beans--definitely needs some seasonings, even a bit of salt. Just extremely bland. Easy fix. Ordered a hard shell beef taco and the shell is full of oil. Seems as if the oil wasn't hot enough before submerging the shell, hence cooked too long and the shell falls apart into a million oily pieces while eating. Tossed that out and just re-ordered a plain bean and cheese burrito no rice, add pico. Got home and RICE. No flavor to the beans. Pico bland. No flavor. Disappointing. Large size (enough to eat for 2 meals but lacking flavor). 2nd time around asked for the "corn burritos" as they are recommended by locals. "Can't do those sorry"... ok, so went with the safe bet again - a bean/cheese burrito no rice, and a side of fries for my neighbor. The fries were like the taco, filled with oil and cooked way too long, almost burned, and soaked in oil. Tossed those. Forgot to open the burrito before I got home and AGAIN RICE! UGH... NO RICE pleeeze.. LOL... Hopefully they step it up and put some flavor in the meats/beans, and change out the oil, and fry correctly. The oil tastes old. Great spot in Silverstrand. CASH only which is a true pain in the booty.... Come on guys. Let's kick it up a notch and get it together. You could be really busy if you make a few changes. YOU GOT THIS! read more

I dont want to imagine a Silver Strand Beach without Pepe's. Sure, it is cash only. But being prepared with the cash to buy tacos, nachos, burritos, or whatever Mexican food you like steps from the beach is a good feeling. The super nachos are quite large and feed my small family of 3 But we have been opting more often to get carnitas street tacos. The carnitas is stuffed into the street tacos and well-flavored. The wait can be a bit long at lunch time. But a lazy beach day with tacos is always a good day! read more

Pepe's Mexican Food - Super nachos w carne asada - Mexican Near Me - Oxnard, California

Food is awesome and lots of it , had the chille verde burrito ate it for a few days , succulent pork

got the california burrito and i thought it was amazing service was good everyone there was nice 5/5

Priced at $5 a fish taco I watched them microwave it and I had to turn my back and pray they were gonna fry it too. Nope. Arrived dark brown and soggy. 0% crispy, with a tapatio salsa on a fish taco. I'm sorry but for a beach town your fish tacos should be a primary and you should knock it out of the park every time. I am glad I got a single test taco. read more
