Came in on a Saturday evening around 6pm. The place was packed. Sat down right away and they took our drink orders right away. We barely had time to look menu and they were already asking us what we wanted to order. The waiter took our orders and the food came out about 10 mins later. Others at the table got their meals first and ours came out 5 mins later. The chicken fajitas were pretty good and the bean and quocamole was decent too. We ordered waters half way thru out meals and they did not bring them until we asked them 2 more times. It's like they forgot about us. It literally took 10 mins to get our waters. The waitress did say she was sorry for the late waters. I think the charged us for Cadillac margarita when we only ordered normal margarita. Oh well. I might come back if I was on this side of town. Oh and they automatically gave me corn tortillas with the fajitas and did not ask what kind I wanted when I really wanted flour. read more

Went there today for a little R&R after a long day of breaking down on the side of the road. Took Triple A over three hours to get to me. Towering my car to a location in Hillsboro off Evergreen Avenue. Was quoted 550.00 just to fix my serpentine belt that busted. Paying for towing& Uber. I get to Pepittas and ask the female server if I can get a half order of ceviche. I asked 3 times and she said yes. When I received my bill, she charged me for a full order. 19.00 dollars for two tostadas of ceviche, already high way robbery. I asked her about my bill concerns and she denied our conversation about half orders. I told her I asked you 3 times and she said Yes. Really sucks that they couldn't admit to their mistakes and adjust my bill. Sad, they don't know customer financial burdens. Not sure if I will be returning. Unfortunately, I feel that she should a no care attitude. read more

Went there yesterday ( feb 21) 1:15 pm. Only two people in the dining room and music very loud. Place looked and smelled dirty. Wouldn't use my knife- filthy. The salsa for the chips ; very spicy, we were told no other choice.wife order combo fajitas-- no shrimp - but pretty good. Just three 6 inch tortillas. Asked for more and were charged for three more. I had a burrito- ok -nothing special. Place got a delivery half way through our meal .propped the front door - two rows down from our booth-- burrito. That place acted like they could care if we ever came back. We will learn from this and never never go back read more

Look very careful when you pay the bill. My family were there last weekend and order 3 dishes and 2 drinks. When I got the bill, they added 18% tip, then asking tip option 15%, 18%, 20%. If you did not pay attention to the bill, you probably paid 30%+ tips with horrible food and service. read more

Super busy, but super friendly service, great food and the best margaritas on the rocks! The flan to excellent! read more

Had very poor service there today. Got up and walked out before even ordering dinner because the guy was so rude. When we walked in we asked to sit in the bar the guy snapped that it was closed. Then the same guy brought us brown unappealing (not the usual) guacamole and got an attitude when we asked about it. This was one of my favorite places before now. Won't be going back. read more

Went there plenty of times. but there is a certain waiter there that will just lie to you. I ordered Chili, Colorado. I got Shredded chicken. I said, hey man, this is shredded chicken, nutshell leave Colorado. He says no, that's chili Colorado. I said no, I know what Chili, Colorado is. And this is shredded chicken. He says, no, that's chili Colorado. Then another time. And now my last time. That same dude charged me a tip the same amount as my whole bill. Totally tried to trick me. He said. Oh, sorry, but the guy isn't here to return the money. But believe me, I will get it done and you will get your money back. No money ever came back. The end of Pepitas for me. Hope it was worth it. read more

TRADITIONAL TEXMEX. This place is so fun to walk into and sip on a few margs. This is America Mexican food right here. Don't go and plan on being BLOWN AWAY by the flavors and yada yada but have appreciation for the refried beans mmmm and Mexican rice!! Mmmmm! I suggest the tacos btw and order that plant pot thing they put drinks in read more

I'm so sad to post this review. I have loved Pepitas for years but tonight was far different. There must be new owners. Everything was completely different. I wish I could find out what happened because this place was my family go to for Mexican for so long. This place will be truly missed by us. read more

I always want to give credit to restaurant staff when it is due. Second time here today, and still impressed. Always greeted with a smile. Both gentlemen working the lunch made sure to stop and check on us every time they passed us. I was impressed by the number of people who are regulars here. (You can always tell a great place by the clientele BTW). It was hot and fast and delicious, with great service. read more

Food is good, service is why I won't ever come back. I keep giving this place chances and every time I'm frustrated that I did. They have good food but absolutely need a better server. The older male server they have had for years is terrible at it. Always not engaging or seemed interested in being at the table. We ordered drinks and some apps and he NEVER came back. We had to flag yes flag a woman down because we waited very patiently for awhile even making eye contact with the guy and he would head in the other direction every time. Do not waste your time or money on this place unless it is to go. read more

Estuardo was my server and he brought such vibrant and happy energy to my table. The food and drinks were massive proportions for great prices. The service was speedy and the staff was so kind. Totally recommend for a Marg night! read more

The service was rude as soon as I was seated. Sadly. I've always wanted to try this place! When served salsa and chips the salsa was so hot and asked if they have mild. No we don't serve mild salsa. Dang ok. How about a small guacamole? One of my favorite food groups. It was just ok. Sadly. I ordered the recommended pork tamale and a cheese enchilada combination meal. The pork tamale had a super hot verde sauce and the Tamala was thin masa, congealed, and not the hearty pork flavor that makes them a staple of goodness. The red enchilada sauce was thin and pale red no rich flavor of the beautiful spices and seasonings from the chilis. The rice was not flavored with the richness of chicken stock, it was dry, and had bits of dried corn sprinkled throughout. The beans were not very favorable either. This is one of my favorite meals that bring me comfort. Tonight the awful food combined with the awful and rude service my recommendation is to drive on past Pepitas. read more

I had dinner with a friend of mine last night. We got Steak Tacos and Fajitas. The table wasn't properly cleaned. The cutlery wasn't either. The knife inside the Napkin was dirty and I asked for a different one. I asked for Salsa Verde and they didn't have it. Today( i.e. The next morning) both me and my friend got really bad diarrheas and that was the only thing we ate in common. This is bad. My friend is Mexican and neither of us had ever gotten sick from Mexican food like this. read more

I loved this place and tonight was the last straw. Nothing is the same. We have been going here on a regular basis for several years. Not sure what happened, but the old Peptita's is a distant memory and so are many of the awesome staff that we held in high regard. I'm going to miss this place. I hope things can change back, but not sure that will happen. Good luck! read more

Excellent food and service! I was in a hurry with my daughter and that wasn't even a factor. Everything came out quickly and everyone was super friendly. read more

Mexi-Hell my mom was in town and she loves Mexican food. I haven't been to this place for years and NOW I remember why. It's horrible.....staff was not up to par and food was like posion. I don't recommend this place if you want REAL Mexican food there's only two/three place that are awesome. 1. Sanchez Taqueria in Tigard (hand made Tortilla) 2. La Fuente Taqueria in Tigard (hand made Tortillas) 3. Mi Jalisco in Aloha decent I was sick for three days...never again!! Horrible !!!! read more

Friends recommended and we are SO GLAD! Super fun atmosphere. Delicious enchiladas. I had carnitas and the chicken. Margaritas big and tasty. Atmosphere bright with color everywhere. Staff smiling and working so fast. We had a great lunch. Will recommend to our family and already look forward to next time. read more

Pepitas is one of those places where you go to eat and you feel like you have been teleported to a little town in Mexico. The ambiance of the place brings back memories of visiting Mexico when I was younger. All the staff really make sure you have what you need and that you're having a great time. They are timely and have a great sense of humor. The full bar menu has some good choices the drinks are strong IMO, so we stayed a bit after we ate. I had lunch with a dear friend of mine on a Sunday around noon, it wasn't super busy so we stayed there for about 4 hours . There aren't any vegan options that I saw but I did have the cheese enchiladas with rice and beans and it was fairly priced for the the large portion size. $11.50 for my meal. A very good authentic Mexican restaurant read more

There was a huge stem stuffed inside the middle of my chili relleno. It was also tough and chewy the entire chili. I explained this to the waiter. He told me no that it was good. I explained to him that no it was not and that I wasn't going to pay for that part of my dinner. He was extremely rude. It's sad because this has been our go-to place for years! Not anymore! read more

Its a small family run spot and has no fixings to impress you ,however my experience here has always been great . The staff is welcoming and the food is good and that is all I expect from a small spot like this . The place is slightly cramped up but the booths are spacious and comfortable . The decorations seem festive and over the top but I think that's what makes this place look so colorful . They offer you chips and salsa once you are seated but be cautious of overindulging in them as they fill you up fast and there are free refills .The enchiladas , burritos and Tacos all taste wonderful and the portion sizes are huge . The tacos come with a side of beans and rice and are a very filling meal for the price you pay . The drinks at this place are boozy and taste delicious . There was a huge drink that I and the hubby shared which comes in a clay vessel and is fruity and boozy . Its something between a traditional Margarita and Sangria, but much lighter. If you love tequila, you will definitely love this drink and plus there is fruit .. so healthy ! There is a parking lot right outside and there is always plenty of parking available . read more

This place is EVERYTHING, from the moment you enter the restaurant you get greeted by every single worker there. Ordered a cazuela (alcohol beverage) and also a Caldo 7 mares. The best 7 mares I've ever had , the waiters came by often to make sure we had everything we needed they were so friendly I loved it!! Definitely will be coming back!! read more

My favorite local spot. Food comes out fast. Fun atmosphere and great crew that works there.

Wonderful place, terrific food, colorful ambiance. Really excellent, great family restaurant.

Went for the first time yesterday and it was great! I ordered the carnitas tacos? Mexican style of course! The plate comes with 2 big tacos, rice and beans. The pork was really tender and tasty. Also ordered the horchata, so good! Really like the place! it's simple,familial with good food! All you need! Go check the place out! read more

Excellent service, affordable prices, delicious food, drinks that are beyond mouth watering and the food portions are HUGE!

Shoddy Mexican food makes us sad. We ordered takeout from Pepitas through Delivered Dish. My broken armed child wanted rice, beans, and chocolate cake. I just wanted not to cook. But next time I will make it at home. I should have read the reviews. Believe them. Maybe this place was good once but the food was not great. It wasn't good either. The enchiladas were terrible and tiny for the price. The chicken inside was mush. It might have been canned chicken mixed with cream cheese.They were topped with what was probably canned chile verde (taste was ok texture was not) and cheese. They were stone cold. Princess got black beans she wouldn't eat ( spit them out) and she has been known to eat them cold from a can. The refried beans looked suspect. Really runny.They went in the trash. She ate both my rice and her rice saying it was ok, edible. Not great. It had veggie pieces in it that were annoying so they were picked out and it was reportedly kinda oily. Princess had a stomach ache later, FYI. The chips were overfried, warmer than my enchiladas, and unsalted. The salsa was watery although spicy. It reminded me of hot sauce I'd squeeze onto my rolled tacos in Yuma.Salsa is typically chunky. The cake was covered in deflated whip and she said it was meh. I tasted it. Yup. Meh. One point for the salsa. One for not being the WORST Mexican I have ever had. I've had some really bad Mexican food... Go to Don Asado, Gloria's, Don Pedro,Amelia's, Pepper's, Don Chilito, Allan's, King Torta. Not here. Even Mazatlan. Trust me. read more

Went here for dinner with my wife. The staff were friendly and we were seated soon after we entered the restaurant. It was around 6pm and it the place was about 75% full. The restaraunt was very darkly lit and smoky from the fajitas. It seems like their HVAC system was not moving fresh air very well. Something to be concerned about these days of Covid. Menus were delivered and were dripping with water on the inside panels. The salsa was very watery and not very nice. We both ordered meals and the option to have either whole pinto or refried beans was offered. We selected whole beans to avoid the lard used in refried beans. Black beans were not an option which was disappointing. The meals were delivered promptly but both were served with refried beans so somehow our order was not communicated. Both meals were hot but seemed overcooked/bland. Overall, the dripping menus, watery salsa, errors in our order and bland flavor of the food is why we could only rate the experience with 2 stars. read more

Horrible service the last few times we went there. Drink orders mixed up three visits in a row. The most recent visit, we arrived well before closing time, and were a party of four. The server understood our orders but appeared to intentionally single out one if our party with abyssmal service. The gentleman asked for a large beer and was given a small, 10-ounce beer, while someone else at the bar was downing a giant mug. It felt like ge was singled out. The staff didn't seem happy or that they wanted to be there. Overall, it matches up with other reviews left for this business lately. It is unfortunate. read more

We had a bit of a wait to sit and when we did we were immediately warned with "we only have one server and one cook here today" and since we were already there we said we'd stay. For being packed and severely understaffed they got us water, chips, then sodas, our food, then boxes, and finally our check in an impressively reasonable amount of time. Food was yummy for one cook who was overwhelmed and not doing what they normally would. Server wasn't cranky for being the one person there. They worked together in harmony. Place definitely has a divey type feel and I enjoyed the decor. For our first impression they nailed it when they would have understandably drowned. We tipped them well and will be back. Hopefully when they're better staffed and less busy ;) read more

I'm only giving this place 3 stars because the Margaritas are amazing. The food is under seasoned if seasoned at all. Carne Asada has no flavor... not even salt. We have tried it twice to make sure it wasn't a fluke or just a cook issue. Service is okay not super friendly like other places in Oregon. One thing we miss leaving Vegas for sure is our Mexican food. The Pollo de Crema has more mushrooms and onions than chicken. read more

The last time we were here was 2018 and it was ok, not great but at least the food was good. Today way different, not busy at all but really weird service 3 different people waited on us, one guy asked us twice within a minute of when we sat down if we were ready to order. He never came back but eventually a nice young lady came by and took our order, not too sure about her English skills as she had a difficult time answering our questions about the items on the menu. The salsa was so hot that we could not eat it so ordered some bean dip which was good. The place looks old and worn out, even the menu's are tired and dirty. The place looks like it hasn't been cleaned since the last time we were here. The food had a very unpleasant taste to it and we each left more than half on our plates. While we were starting to eat a guy that I took to be the boss called everyone together and took them away so I had to go looking for someone to get a bill so we could leave. Will not be going back as there are lots of good clean Mexican restaurants in the area to eat at. read more

Our food was very good, delicious fajitas and super friendly staff. Great experience.

Our default Mexican restaurant. My wife and I have been eating at Pepita's for 20+ years. We find the food consistently good. The service as well, but I would be remiss to not mention the staff - top to bottom - are of hispanic descent and most do not speak fluent english. The language and cultural differences can be challenging as noted by a few reviewers. Pepita's is a fun and colorful place to eat. The downside might be serving sizes which are adequate if a tad small. The pre-meal chips and salsa are good if you like heat, which I do. The space is loud and small, but as I said, colorful and festive. If you're looking for some tasty mex in the area, I can recommend Pepita's. read more

Amazing decor in this place. Food is fantastic, especially the pork chile verde. We love coming here with our four-year-old daughter.

We had great service and an excellent arroz con pollo. The owner is super friendly and welcoming.

Didn't dine in, only Togo for today. Walking in was kind of confusing they don't have a host desk or sign that I saw so I didn't know where to go. Other than that the gentleman helping me was super friendly and the pazole is good but most of the meat was bone and fat. I'll go back to dine in though the atmosphere is nice. read more

I've only eaten here once I ordered the Tacos al Carbon with steak. The beans had no flavor, the rice was stale and taste like it had been sitting in a barrel for 2 days. The tacos were decent though. Maybe it was an off day but man taste test your sides before serving them!! I was shook, it was the worst rice I've ever eaten. read more

My husband and I used to love this place. Went yesterday with our kids and our experience was awful. Our server's interactions with us were so weird & uncomfortable I just don't know what to make of it. TBH, I couldn't tell if he was just an a****** or possibly on drugs. Besides our weird/uncomfortable interaction ordering... every time our server would walk by (very few times) he deliberately would not look at us. He forgot our silverware & tortillas. Flagged a worker about silverware. My husband finally had to go find the server about his tortillas, to which our servers came back happily, telling us he stole them from another order as if to solve everything- there were only three. Had to flag down another gal to pay. She happens to run the place - this restaurant's only saving grace- She is wonderful. However, food was ok, service was trash. We will not be back. read more
