My Arizona brother-in-law recommended this stop saying it was as good as his home town. Finally I stopped today to have probably the best burrito I have had in Central Oregon. Added strawberry water to have an excellent lunch. Don't stop if you are in a hurry because each order is made to order. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE! Whoever Beatriz is who rated this 1 star has no valid opinion, she would choose miracle whip over mayo. Get off the app haters and go eat your KFC. Also, Beatriz, id like to settle this with a burrito throwing contest outside of the Pepe's. BE THERE OR BE SQUARE! Over and out. read more

Q Pepe's has good take out burritos and stuff. They are great for pick up and take home dinner on a busy day!

Absolute favorite place to go. Friendly staff, delicious food (I recommend the steak quasidilla) overall awesome atmosphere. Love this place. read more

We love this place! Gladys provides excellent service and suggestions. Mom cooks awesome fresh, authentic home style food. Ample portions to enjoy now and later. Not fast food, and worth the stop as evidenced in the parking lot full of vehicles: out of town work trucks, vacationers and locals who dine here. read more

Some time ago I read that Pepe's has the best chili rellenos , and I finally got to try them yesterday. It's true; they were great ..,,., best I've had in years. Made perfectly - just delicious. Service was great as well. read more

A veggie burrito with no beans or rice $9 side of rice and beans $5! Chips and salsa $2.50 Walked out of there feeling like i got played.. read more

We stopped for lunch around 2:00. Only one other table. Ordered the garlic shrimp plate. DELICIOUS! Only one gal working (daughter) so service was a bit slow. But if you have time it's very good. (I think they also have drive-up for take-away) read more

If Pepe's were in Portland, I'd be a regular! Just happened to be driving through Madras at lunch time and noticed all the Mexican restaurants in town so I asked Yelp for the best one to stop at and Pepe's came up first. Pepe's is EXCELLENT so it must be the best in town! Torn on what to order because it all looked good, my server pointed me toward the combination burrito (a small one) which they hand make the flour tortillas for. After asking her about most popular meat options, she told me about their steak. Sold! And btw, the "small" burrito is big enough for sharing or leftovers! The steak in my burrito was very good. Not sure if it's always like this but it was crispy, sort of like bacon. Not tough or dry, but crispy chunks. Blended with all the other ingredients, my burrito was quite tasty. For the other stuff you need to know: Order your food to go or eat there. If for there, you get table service. There's plenty of parking and the restrooms are clean. NOTE: Pepe's is closed from 3-4 p.m. each afternoon to prep for dinner. Then there's the service. My server got my order wrong and did all the right things to make it right. That alone is worth 10 stars but the entire experience was so above and beyond I'll gladly tell everyone I know to head to Pepe's whenever they're in the area because I know they won't be disappointed! read more

Moved to madras a few months ago and had been pushing off trying this place, but definitely should've gone sooner. You call in your order and then go through the drive thru about 15-20 minutes later and have amazing Mexican food. Got the verde enchilada lunch special and a large chicken burrito for $17 !! Great price, great customer service. Will be going back regularly. read more

Drive through and pick up only at this point but still the same Good food for a reasonable prices love this place called ahead order you get whatever you want. The nice thing about this place is it is really home cooked food. read more

we were very disappointed in our food..taco salads had no seasoning..the tortilla was rubbery...did not receive our chips and salsa that we ordered... read more

Absolute dumpster fire! Slow service combined with mediocre food equals a complete waste of time and money. You were warned...

Delicious! The tacos were great, and the meat was really tender. They close at 6 but the gal was super nice about serving us a few minutes late. read more

Don't stop there unless you have all day to wait for your food. Finally got up and left after waiting 50 minutes for my food. Still didn't have my food and they didn't know when it would be done. Place was half full when we left. Other people that came in after me got served there food. Horrible service and they act like this a common occurrence. read more

I swung in here a couple days ago. It was good, damn good. My only complaint was that it was terribly busy and a wee bit cramped. The food was legit, though. It reminded me of the kind of authentic Mexican food you only get at a friend's house (or your own house if your a Mexican with a really good cook for a mom and a lot of relatives that sit really close together). There was an odd thing that happened here, which has no effect on this rating. A woman watched us sit at a small table until we realized we needed to get up to order. She was really short and roly-poly. When I turned back toward my table, the Ms. roly-poly had taken my table and stared back unapologetically with her cold, dead, table-stealing eyes. The fresh, quality food, nice staff and reasonable prices redeemed the whole experience. They had a nice little salsa bar too with all kinds of foreign sauces and pickled doodads too. read more

Amazing burritos. Like probably the best place to go in town to get Burritos. Love my pepe's burritos.

Everything on the menu is good. I've been eating at Pepe's since I was a kid and I've never had anything I didn't like.

YuM! This is the spot for mexican food. My husband took me out on a date here and i was thinking, 'This lil tiny place?' The bathrooms are well kept. All around clean. It gets busy! and after eating here I know why. The staff is quick and the food is Bomb. They have a little salsa stand with a small variety of flavors for you to choose. I eat here and love it. the price is right read more

They serve really good food, properly prepared and are always friendly. Best Tacos in Madras and the Taco-Burrito item is really good. There are other choices in town but Pepe's is the best. read more

My husband has been bragging about this place for months, we drive through about once a month. Friday evening we stopped for my first time. Man, it's good. We live in central California where Mexican food is everywhere, and it's one of my faves. This restaurant is family owed and run. Our waitress, the daughter, was so sweet. She told me they started off as a bakery selling bread out of their car when she was little. Her sister would handle the money and she would bag the baked goods. I love stories like that. Everything we had was amazing! Like my husband, now I'm looking forward to our return. read more

Very friendly staff. Best Mexican that I have found in Oregon so far. Makes me feel like I am at home Texas eating good tex-mex

I was provided this restaurant lead by a local business owner and I am so glad that I followed his advice! The service is friendly - like family. The food, of which I had the Steak Fajita Salad, was delicious and the portion - large. As I travel extensively my only frustration is that I won't get to frequent this eating establishment very often. But the next time through - I will be back! read more

Very friendly and great service Packed! That's a good sign. Give it a try when your in town. read more

I've gone to Pepe's twice for their lunch special getting the barbacoa tacos and their verde enchiladas. So good! Reasonably priced as well. The staff is super friendly and made sure I had everything that I wanted, even gave me extra limes for my tacos. I will be going back again and again! read more

Best mexican food in town! Don't let the small building fool you! Best I've ever had!

The best. Period. So busy you need to order early and pick up, hot on the off meal times or be happy chillin. Smothered burrito and Arcelia are my favs. read more

Small and humble place on Hwy 97. Great service. Carnitas plate: crisp, yet juicy shredded pork; accompanied by guacamole with chopped tomatoes and jalapeños; refried beans, seasoned rice and piping hot corn tortillas. Excellent Chicken mole plate: shredded chicken in mild mole sauce; corn tortillas, refried beans, rice. Great food refueling stop going or coming from Bend. read more

ugh..$32 for 2 burritos and 3 churros...what on earth..food was cold they did have good guac. on one of the burritos ordered

I went here because the nearby Mi Casa was closed. I ordered some food - they have a reasonable menu here. It took an eternity for the food to come. The food (when it finally arrived) was pretty good, but I'd still rather eat at Mi Casa, even not taking the lo-o-ong wait into account. read more

Love their food (my dish is almost always chorizo con quevo). I used eat there with my mom and brother all of the time...

Had a great lunch at Pepe's in Madras. We were on our way to the Erickson's Aviation museum so it was the perfect place. Our food was delicious. I had their chicken tortilla soup (best I've had in a long, long time) and my husband had a wonderful chili rellleno. He's been looking for a good since we left Oxnard, CA. The restaurant is not fancy, but definitely a good spot to stop! read more

Compared to other mexican places in this city this place is one of the best. Sometimes the meat is too crispy. Between madras' posada and pepes i rather eat here. Order beforehand because sometimes its takes a while. read more

First visit there and wasn't impressed. Was asked if I wanted chips and salsa so I said yes. Most Mexican restaurants the chips and salsa are free with the meal. I was not told that there was a charge so big surprise when I went to settle my bill. The food was okay but it took almost an hour to get my food. Other people came and went with their food. Also is it really necessary to put a little sign by the cash register that says that you're legal (as in legal immigrant). read more

I had the chicken enchiladas verde and it was delicious. The food was homemade and not like fast food at all. We weren't sure driving by. Very friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Very happy we stopped in, will be back. read more

Our waitress was very kind, and the food was delicious. I had the small steak quesadilla, and it was still a decent amount of food. Good prices and portions. I would definitely go again, though I probably couldn't eat the super burrito, or whatever it's called. Overall great experience! read more

This is an extremely small building, but in a nice and cozy way. The woman who took our orders seemed to be the only one serving people, but she was extremely nice. Service in general was a bit slow and things seemed to be hectic due to the amount of people who where in there, but she handled everyone well. The food itself was good. Nothing incredibly special, aside from the amazing flour tortillas. Like, those things made the whole meal so much better. The chips weren't that good, but the salsa that was provided was great. I might come here again if I am traveling nearby, but I doubt I would go out of my to come here. read more

Waited well over an hour!! Was just about to walk out at one hour and 22 minutes when the waitress brought our food out. Waitress was nice but not attentive. Salsa was very bland. Food was nothing special. It was simple, not tasty. Fountain drinks were self serve and any refills were extra. We would NOT recommend this place. read more

Really really good if you're into shitty bland wannabe mexican food otherwise it's awful and way overpriced
