Visited 7/29/2025 I Was told this place inside of a Small Mexican Market in Ramona had some decent House made Street Tacos. Well Today was the day I found out what the taco talk was all about. Nice little Mexican Market with a nice selection of food items. Has a nice Butcher Style Meat Counter and a decent selection of meats to choose from. They have Fresh Tortillas brought in each day hot and fresh ready in a giant Insulated Igloo Cooler. The sweet lady I met and the butcher who also cooks some tasty Street tacos I tried were very friendly and helpful. The prices were very fair with most tacos going for $2.49ea. Stuffed with tender Meats of your choosing and topped with your choice of toppings. The in house made Hot Sauces both were excellent. Put a smile on my face. I ordered two each of, The Carne Asada Tacos. The Al Pastor. Tacos. The Carnitas Tacos. And The Lengua Tacos. Wow was i surprised. I never expected to like them all but I did. I ate one of each there and took the other four home for later. 30 seconds in the microwave and they were just as good as the ones I had earlier. I'll be coming here a lot more now that I know how tasty they are. 8 Street Tacos and a Bottle of Orange Soda Wes $25.67 out the door. Very reasonable by todays standards. Sadly they only have two tables inside and none outside. Must do alone of takeout. This place is well worth a try anytime your in Ramona. Check out the menu pictures. It's one of those hidden Taco Gem's read more

Best tacos I've had. Went to a party in Ramona that was catered by Pepe's and I almost made myself sick because I just could not stop eating! I then recommended them to friends hosting a baby shower at a local winery and Pepe's came through big time. The carne, pollo, and al pastor are all incredible, as are all the other ingredients that go into these great tacos. Tortillas, salsas, toppings, everything is perfect. read more

Serving delicious tacos every time I order! I usually only order the carnitas-my favorite!

Recently for breakfast I had the pleasure of trying Pepe's Tacos for the first time. Tucked just inside Pepe's Produce, this place is the real deal! One of the best spots in Ramona for classic street tacos! It's actually a pretty crusty little Mexican market with a taqueria inside. Very small yet inexpensive menu of great tacos. I ordered two tacos al pastor. Would you believe these are only $1.25 each?? They were excellent! Exceeded my expectations. You basically get the meat on torts and dress it up as you see fit with a variety of self-serve salsas, onions, cilantro and whatnot. Menu is very small and basic. Mainly just inexpensive, tasty tacos. I think you can get a quesadilla and maybe menudo. Pepe's is on the north side of Main St, just east of San Vicente/78. It's in a building many know as the old Pizza Hut. It still retains some of the recognizable architectural features of a classic Pizza Hut restaurant. read more

I don't ever leave reviews but I can't stop thinking about this place hours later. Tacos were BOMB! I had the Al pastor and the carne and they were authentic, delicious, AND affordable. Best place in Ramona for authentic street tacos. Also, they had a great meat counter and fresh produce. I'll be going there next time I wanna bbq some carne or pollo. Don't miss out on this place! read more

Pepe's never disappoints! Don't go to those expensive taco trucks for your parties! You'll get even better food with all the fixings for a much better price! We use them for our parties all the time. We order a tray of carne asada, pollo asada and Al pastor for 20 people and it's right around $200. There's always left overs. They are friendly and don't need a lot of time to place an order. read more

I love this little market! I didn't realize it had been well over a year since we ate here. The other day I had a craving for their tacos and Pepe's did not disappoint. The people working there are friendly and I love that you can sit and watch them make your food right in front of you. read more

Best street tacos in Ramona! Burritos are huge and good as well. I wish they still had their fish tacos.

This gringo was very comfortable shopping at Pepe's. Got some wonderful salsa there--tasty enough to please my husband but not so spicy I couldn't eat it. I assume they make it there...no labels. Also got some very fresh Tortilleria Salsa tortillas, placed conveniently in a cooler right by the door. Limes were cheap...so were the oranges. Forgot to get avocados but they looked pretty good as well. I got a nice bag of goods for under $7. read more

I've hit almost all the taco places in Ramona and boy there's alot of them! This is the best place in Ramona for street tacos, hands down!!

Their pan dolce (Mexican sweet bread), is the best I have ever had. But you have to buy it in the morning when it is fresh. Their street tacos are like two in one. Big tacos. Their Mexican sandwich, torta, are very good. Everything you can share not unless you are very hungry. Their produce is priced well. We have their food at least twice a month. People who work their are very friendly. Wish they sold tamales! read more

I eat here like literally every other day their tacos are sooooo freaking good it's me and my besties favorite food in Ramona! They are literally the best tacos I've ever had and I've been to Mexico!! If you want authentic tacos this is definitely the place but if you want white people tacos maybe not for you:) don't go there expecting booths and tables and waiters this is a little market with a grill off to the side and you know it's good because all the posters outside are white lmao!! But yeah I hate reading reviews off Mexican food because it's like is it white people good or actually good? But if your looking for an honest review not based off of class and it's to spicy then here I am because its literally almost identical to tacos I've had in Tecate thank you for reading:) read more

I went here on my way home the other day, it was a Sunday, to pick up some tamales. The place was very low lit and uncomfortably hot and danky. Apparently they were closing up because it was near 8 p.m. PST. I went to an area where they had a big commercial sized stove and a girl was cleaning around the area. I asked her where I could find the tamales and she said they don't have tamales there. She explained that they have taco's and burrito's, "Stuff like that". I thought a tamale was similar to that since, well, you know, it's latin food which I've always thought was at least a little similar to other types of latin food. Apparently my assumption is way off. At least they didn't give me a hard time about wearing the stupid scamdemic mask. That was nice. I asked her if they had any of the taco's or burrito's she mentioned and she told me they don't because the store is closing. I found that odd since they were still open but then it dawned on me that they must have closed that area. I asked her what time they close that area and she told me "About 7:15 to 7:25. Thus, they technically aren't open till 8 rather the other parts of the place are open till then. From what I have been used to all my life was a service of that type actually being open until the hours displayed and not just close to those hours. I asked if they had horchata, nope. I asked if they had churro's, nope. I asked if they had cinnamon chips, nope. So I set down the 1 item I was gonna buy, which I never tried before, and made my way out. Pretty crappy store if you ask me and my business there isn't either needed or relevant apparently. Also noticed something else odd which was there were no people that looked like me. I felt kind of out of place and generally uncomfortable. Doesn't seem like a very inclusive crowd. Probably because it's not. No thanks! read more

They catered a party for us, their tacos were AMAZING. Seriously the tacos were so delicious. There was enough food I even had a bunch of leftovers. They people that came to cater for us were so kind and super friendly. I definitely will be using them for all my catering needs! They won a customer for life. I will even be going there from now on when I need tacos. read more

I'm obsessed with Mexican food and will go to Tijuana just to get some authentic tacos. We randomly found this place- I had a carnitas taco and a tripas taco and they were sooooo good!!! Awesome find!!!:) read more

I eat at Pepe's everyday because the food and the service are authentic, high quality and the best I've had. Pepe, Patricia and Ricky are super friendly and they treat me like family. Pepe's is highly recommended and those that don't live in Ramona should definitely make the trip for the best grocery items and tacos to die for. I truly love the relationship that I have with the owners and will continue to eat here everyday. Check it out cuz it is worth it! Thank you Patricia and Pepe...Carlitos read more

Best street taco's north of the border. This is a great little family-owned market. They also make the best Mexican food in the county. Everyone I know who has been there believes the same. BEST MEXICAN FOOD! read more

A cute little shop to buy basic needs. You can eat on site. They make great tacos. And have a salsa bar. Lots of drink options. Not a bad place to buy meat and Mexican food to make at home. Customer service could be better. The lady at the register was on the phone chatting with a friend the entire time I was checking out - though she did take a minute to say "gracias". read more

I lived in the San Diego area for 30 years and have eaten at many Mexican restaurants. On a recent visit to Near-by Ramona Ca.my grandson suggested we try his favorite Mexican restaurant. Pepe's Produce by far is the best Mexican food I have ever eaten.I had a Carnea asada burrito and the others had Their Adobada tacos. This was by far the most favorable burrito I have ever had. The meat was outstanding and it was not mostly rice and beans like most other places. This will be my go to place in the future. Have to thank my grandson for suggesting this place with it's great food. read more

Stopped in to check it out and grab a taco or two - the food did not disappoint. A taco de pollo and one pastor, both were excellent, freshly made right in front of me and a nice selection of serious salsa action. But timid gringos beware cause the place is definitely funky. I'm fine with that having spent years south of the border -- your mileage, however, may vary. If you need a more pristine spot with comfortable booths, good service in a family atmosphere go to Mar de Cortez right around the corner. Awesome. Pepe's ain't that kinda place. But if you're hangin' with your bros and want some damn good and cheap tacos this is el lugar. And you may wish to read the one filtered review, too. read more

This joint is the real deal Mexican market and restaurant. It doesn't get more authentic than this. I only graded 4 stars because it's such a small place and I feel they could add a table. The chicken is tender and flavored just right. Bathroom has seen better days read more

Pepe's is the best place in town for quick tacos at a decent price. Someone said it's a crusty little hole in the wall, and it definitely is. I wouldn't buy any fruit from there but their tacos are awesome. read more

Great place. Friendly staff. Awesome tacos! Perfect for a quick family take out!

this place is even better as a grocery store, meat market and hole-in-the-wall taco shop than it was when it was pizza hut. if you crave REAL mexican street tacos, birria, carnitas, carne asada, chorizo, etc. etc.... THIS PLACE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. read more

Pepe's Produce - chorizo taco, manzana soda. do it. - Grocery Near Me - Ramona, California

Produce and for shopping it's good, but I do not recommend the carne Asada torta. The lady cooking it burnt all the chicken, and just gave it to me like that all crispy, and hard. All I got, so tacos might be good choice as everyone seems to go with. read more
