    Shredded beef torta

    Pepito's Drive In in Highland is a hidden gem and proof that local spots can absolutely outperform the big fast-food chains in both price and flavor. You always hear about the advantages large chains have, but somehow Pepito's delivers delicious Mexican fast food at prices that are even better than most corporate restaurants. I ordered the Torta special with fries and a drink for under $9, and it was fantastic. You get your choice of meat including ground beef, pork, carne asada, chicken, or shredded beef. The portion was generous, flavorful, and satisfying. Best of all, it still cost less than a typical combo meal at a chain restaurant. Their menu overall is incredibly affordable. They offer daily 99-cent specials from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. with a limit of 10, and their daily combo burrito special for under $6 is tough to beat these days. The staff was friendly, service was quick, and the food tasted fresh. The restaurant itself was clean and welcoming, with Mexican music playing in the background that added to the atmosphere. I also appreciate supporting local businesses, and Pepito's is definitely a place I plan to visit more often. The only downside is that they occasionally run out of certain menu items, but considering the quality, value, and service, it is not a dealbreaker for me at all.

    Pretty good for a fast food Mexican spot. Have a daily special for a $1 and mini meals for $5, but overall the menu prices are so affordable. The staff is friendly. Unfortunately, they do run out of menu items.

    I love Pepitos! My family and I have been going here for years! Food is great! The cooks are always awesome and helpful! I love how they decorate during the holidays! Everything is clean and just comfortable! Their bean and cheese burritos are just perfect!

    Green red salsa love that they give you a bottle but no flavor green or red

    Some people say there's a landmark but I'm sorry the flavors were not there. The only thing that was good. Was that kind of side of fries and that's just cause he had a lot of melted cheese. The environment was good. OK customer service overall would not be coming back.

    Pepito's was on my list to try. So we decided to stop in for some grub. Hubby got the Asada burrito combo with fries and drink. I got the enchilada and taco combo with a drink. Service was friendly and fast. Food was nice and hot. The inside of the restaurant is super clean and well maintained as well as the outside. Which is always nice to see! The food is not anywhere close to the best but not the worst Mexican food we've had. The one thing that wasn't good was the red salsa. Had zero flavor and it was super watery. Which was a bummer because it would have made the food way better if the salsa was good. If we come back I need to see if they make different types of salsas.

    Shredded beef tacos are a must! Make it a combo for rice and beans. I was full!

    Thanks to my Yelp buddies I was inclined to try this place. If you love the shredded crunchy tacos from Pepe's in L.A county you'll love these! I ordered the 2 taco combo, chimichanga appetizer and a carne asada burrito. Yum! The place is clean and the people are super friendly.

    Food is ok, service is NOT good. My sister and I are visiting from Arizona and we stopped here to eat. I wanted to go to Jose's Mexican Food off of Redlands Blvd in Redlands where the food is delicious and the service is ALWAYS great, but my sister wanted Pepito's. It's unfortunate that the experience was not good. Not only were we rushed but we were in the middle of biting our taco and the cashier lady interrupted it us told us they were closing we needed leave as they were locking the doors. I told the lady it was 5:52pm. Honestly, I was very disappointed and felt it was the worst experience ever received. My recommendation is that you go elsewhere to spend your hard earned money.

    Even with that mask on, you can feel the look of non customer service.

    Not sure what is going on. The food and deals are great but this service?? Lily told us 30 minutes for 3 ground beef tacos because she has too many tickets for drive thru and then we asked if we could get out table cleaned and she threw the rag on the table and did one wipe, missing most of the table. I just decided to get napkins and clean it myself. She was rude and had three other separate customers that came in turned away. Whoever is this owner should know that this server is turning away customers and losing them clientele, meaning profit.
