Another subpar Mexican restaurant in Whittier which really surprises me. I've always noticed it when Being across the street at Trader Joe's and it alway looked empty. That should have definitely been my first sigh but I hopped into yelp and saw a few High ratings. Was rolling solo for lunch and thought I'd finally give this place a try. Tried heir Carne Asada street tacos which were very dry. Came with beans and rice and the beans were crunchy. Also tired their hard shell shredded beef taco which was very dry and strangely had a lot of potato in it. Also, they don't nickel and dime you here. They dollar you, I.E., $1 for a credit card transaction, $1 for a small drink refill. To top it off, they are not very friendly here which surprises me due to the lack of business in the restaurant. You would think they'd be thrilled to have you there. Would not come back here and regret not going a little further east on Whittier Blvd to one of the superior Mexican restaurants. read more

Over priced and horible service & food. The food is so blan and fir 15.00 fir a burrito..some meet would be nice! They are horrible!

First timer. Ordered 2 breakfast burritos: nopales & eggs which came with pinto beans and cheese, and a bacon & egg burrito. Both were large and tasty. The establishment is very well kept and the food is ready to make. read more

Awesome hole in the wall with.a huge following of loyal customers. Food is good. The menudo is good. Can't go wrong

Just go, there food is made fresh. I have never had a bad meal. Everyone is polite and helpful.

Decent Food. Amazing Service. A-Ok cleaniness (super clean for mexican restaurant) Fail on the price. $15 per fatass, about $10-$15 per head. Chile Relleno: Kind of disgusting. The breading was 2x larger than the Chile. I kind of ate the chile with one bite. #Fail. Enchilada: The chicken enchilada was ok. I think the beef or cheese would have tasted better. The enchilada was sauce tasted like a hybrid commericialized sauce. I mean, they grab enchilada sauce from the can and add cheese, salt, pepper, cumin, etc to it. That is what it tasted like on my pallet. I can be wrong though. However, I would like to try the other enchiladas. Chip: The best part. Chips here are made and deep fried in house. Rice: For Mexican rice, it was on the better side of things. They did not cheat you and use ketchup for the "tomato" flavoring like most cheap mexican spots do. The rice had actual tomatoes in them!!!! Beans: Horrible. Service: La Bomba. I mean... i would come back here just cause the service was that damn good =) read more

Food is good, however, WAY over priced! Even the "kids combos" are almost $6 dollars for a tiny portion! NO refills on chips or soda is another DOWNER! Street tacos are always flavorful! As is the case many times - service is terrible! **for more details see my review** read more

I was in the area and didn't know where to grab a bite to eat for lunch. My parents ate here earlier in the week and enjoyed it. The place is small but has a decent selection of Mexican food favorites. When it comes to Mexican food, I'm pretty easy to please. Just give me good chips and salsa and get me full. This place passed my test with flying colors. I loved the salsa bar. The salsas had the perfect amount of spiciness and tasted freshly made. The burritos and tacos tempted me, but I chose the beef taquitos plate because it came with guacamole. They were very tasty. The rice, beans, and guacamole were nothing special but still good. The nachos were yummy. It was topped with carne asada, beans, cheese, guac, and sour cream where no chip was left unloved. Since there were lots of toppings, the bottom layer of the chips were soggy. My parents ordered menudo and really liked it. My mom ordered a few extra items to take out. The staff said to notify them when we were ready to go so they could have it freshly made and ready for us. If I'm ever in the area again, I will gladly get my Mexican food fix here. read more

So, I worked in whittier today and noticed this place near subway. I came back for dinner , it's a cute little place you can dine-in or take your food to go. If you do decide to eat there I noticed you have to grab your own menu & sit yourself and then go stand in line to order... I ordered to go so that wasn't a problem. They were quick and efficient they lady that took my order was really nice. That's kind of where the 3-stars come from ; the place being clean and them being nice. The food was good, however for the price I could get something where the food is GREAT and pay 1/3 less. It's pretty expensive don't get me wrong it's good but I've had better. Since I don't work in Whittier and I'm hardly ever that way, I guess this would be that place I go if I need to get my fix for Mexican food since right around the corner from the facility. Even though it's kind of high I would come back. The tacos were delicious, really TRY the tacos (chicken tacos soft) read more

Food is great and they deliver if you order over $30 and live in town. Their chile verde is really good and the jamaica is always fresh

So delicious and perfect anytime of day! A family legacy of eating here. I recommend the chile relliano and chicken enchilada combo. I love the beans and rice. The street tacos delicious. I love the red enchiladas sauce. Restaurant is immaculate. Food consistently delicious! The owner has a caring heart for his customers. Definitely eat here any time. I am stuffed and happy! Thank you! read more

Good variety of food A few items for Vegans, and Vegetarians. Some pretty good, Hard Shell Potatoe Tacos, great tasty salsas, guacamole, and very nice customer service read more

We stopped by this place and ordered the wet burritos with green sauce. Have to say they are pretty big so either go with a big appetite or share with someone. They flavor of the meat was just right and the horchata water was also good. Friendly people the moment you walk in, it felt fluke a family business and their service was very good. I will definitely be back to try their tacos. read more

Pretty good chicken enchilada combo with rice and beans. Good salsa. Not as cheap as some other places for the same quality and quantity. But, I would definitely come back again if I am in the area. read more

Cute little place in a tiny strip mall, right next to subway. They have daily specials that are really good, but the most surprising thing was the enchilada plate. At first glance, the sauce is almost black, so it throws you off. Let me tell you, it is delicious and deep in flavor. The tacos are traditional, using queso fresco instead of shredded cheddar. Shredded beef and a little bit of salsa, and you're on your way to deliciousness. The salsa bar is small, but has a fantastic variety of choices and flavors. The green salsa almost taste like Indian chutney, it's fantastic. Downside, they take forever. Like, 30 minutes for one enchilada plate. It's better to call it in, if you can. Try the beers as well, cold and cheap is a great combo. read more

It was really good , much better than a lot of Mexican restaurants I've been too . The salsa is very good and while not as spicy as I like it still had a nice a little kick and was much spicier than most Mexican restaurants that serve watery pico de gallo. I got the mixed fajitas which is chicken and steak with beans and rice , the chicken was better than the steak in my opinion but most of the steak was really good I only got one piece that didn't taste very fresh which is why I'm giving 4 stars otherwise I would if given 5. The brand and rice are really really good too. I will for sure come back but most likely will just get the chicken fajitas next time. read more

Food is always great. I order tacos and they caught that they didn't make them as I ordered but I had already left and was home. They called me and they came to my house to give me a new order of tacos exactly they way I wanted them. That is amazing customer service. Thank you for your great customer service. read more

I have driven by this place for years. Today I decided to give it a try. Maybe I should've kept on driving. The customer service is great (I would give it 5 stars just based on that). But the food is very high priced and isn't very good (I would give zero stars for the food). Rice is full of raw bell peppers. The beans taste like they are straight out of a can. The Asada was dry and tasted like it was re-cooked. If you buy a large soda, you have to pay $1.00 for each refill. Craziness. For a "restaurant" I was surprised by the paper plates and plastic forks. Not what I was expecting. read more

I wish there were 10 stars to give Senior Peppers. We have eaten here a handful of times over the years. Always good food. When Covid hit, we started trying to support our local privately owned restaurants. Senior Peppers have become our favorite delivery dinner. The food has been great, it gets delivered quickly (by them not an 'app') the food is fresh, hot, and a great value!! Huge variety on the menu! Don't forget to add an order of Chips and Salsa. read more

What they do good...their food is pretty tasty, fresh with reasonable prices. The place is clean too. A couple of things they can improve on...Speed...I always seem to be waiting what seems is a long time to get take out food. Another thing is they put your food in those Styrofoam containers and if you have any sauce in your food it will leak out of the side and it makes a mess inside your bag. read more

I do not know why this place does not have 5 stars. This place has authentic home-made salsas,savory foods, and the manager is such a sweetheart. The place is a family own and has hard working people here. The price is a little high but its because its super fresh. They even have a good amount of veggie options The amostphere is very comfy,calm, and lots of wall art. A great place to eat when you want real mexican food. read more

Walked in this morning for breakfast- first time here and everything looked clean. Cashier was nice and polite. My husband and I ordered Red Chilaquiles with rice and beans. It took about 15 minutes for our order. The price for each plate of Chilaquiles with roce & beans is about $10. The order was a big portion, rice & beans had no flavor unfortunately. The Chilaquiles sauce was not spicy but did have a good flavor and consistency, sauce wasn't too thick it watery, you can't really see the Chilaquiles in my picture because the egg was piled on top . It was an ok plate, nothing to brag about so I don't think I would be returning anytime soon. read more

Always good! Every plate I've had, including the menudo is delicious. Can't go wrong eating here!

Senior Pepper's is our go-to for Taco Night. Always friendly. Always delicious. I recommend their family pack of tacos. Crispy chicken and potato! You'll love it. Oh, and don't forget the red salsa! read more

First off the cashier is rude as heck, didn't catch her name , but she is very unpleasant. First time she gave me the completely wrong order after I verified my order with her. Decided to give this place a second chance because it's a small mom and pop shop. Second time I went the food was disgusting. I ordered carnitas tacos and the meat was nothing but fat and poorly prepared! Don't waste your money on their over priced menu. I know I won't. I'd rather drive 5 minutes down Whittier Blvd to grab food from Vera Cruz. read more

My fiancé and I where heading home from a wedding and decided to stop by for some breakfast before heading home. We have lived in the area for years, but never had tried the food here! We ordered chips & salsa, a wet carne asada burrito and the chilaquiles. The chips where fresh fried for us, and the salsa bar had a selection of 3 different, but equally awesome salsas. The food was okay, fresh cooked but I'd give the food a 7/10 read more

Great service. Good local food. $1 taco Tuesday and Thursday. Had regular tacos and ordered a street taco to see the difference and definitely prefer the street tacos. It got good kicks. Parking right out front. read more

I had been eyeing this place for a while. The pictures in their ads outside their location looked very enticing. I finally went in yesterday for a late lunch. I got the carnitas wet burrito with the Chile Colorado sauce. It was DELICIOUS!!! So authentic and tasted like something my mom made growing up. The meat was fresh and juicy. They looked like they were having a slow day or slow time of the day but that did not affect the freshness of the food. I am definitely coming back. Their salsas are also flavorful and with a good amount of spice. read more

A small hole in the wall that has delicious food. They have the best hot salsa in town! I specifically go for the potato tacos since I can't find them any better elsewhere. It's definitely worth trying for some good Mexican food. read more

I am vegetarian and they have a vegetarian menu! I have wanted to try all the items on the veggie menu but I cannot get past the potato tacos. They are crunchy tacos filled with potato's lettuce tomatoes and cheese. I get the combo plate with rice and cheese which are delicious as well. So good, highly recommend! read more

First time I've ever ate here and last time I found a hair in my rice, plus the cashier was not pleasant at all, I should just waited, but I was staving read more

Worse Mexican Food Restaurant. We were going to eat Subway, but since it was breakfast time we had a mind changed and decided to eat Mexican breakfast. Big disappointment. Worse food ever and horrible customer service. It was Saturday morning on Dec. 2nd around 10:30 am When we walked into the Restaurant, there was a group of maybe party of 8, just finishing eating. They seem to be related to the restaurant employees because, when they got up, they went straight to some lady that was LOUDLY talking to the cook, to say good bye. We ordered Huevos con Chorizo and a Carne asada burrito. I am not exaggerating, it took about 30 min to get our food while the cook and another lady were just talking, and talking. I was about to request my money back because it just did not make sense that that simple food would take forever to be served. (Let's keep in mind that we were the only customers waiting for our food) However, my husband stopped me from doing it because he said, that were already waited enough time. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE. WE DEFENITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT. read more

Don't know why I waited so long to post for Señor Peppers . I've been eating here for over 10 years. Their food is delicious. My favorites are their Menudo and beef taquitos with Real Guacamole unlike other places. They have the best salsas too. Their hottest red salsa is my favorite. I always buy a container to take home. Pros: delicious Mexican food, prices, customer service, lots of seating inside, plenty of parking. Cons: you'll most likely get addicted to the salsa. P.S. I don't have pictures because we were so eager to eat our food that I forgot to take some. Lol. Will update with pics next time I visit! read more

Not worth $9.25. Ordered the hard taco shredded beef plate. Utterly no meat and all potato. So disappointed and lacked flavor. If your in the mood for over priced potato tacos, this is the place for you. read more

I am so surprised by all of the bad reviews! I absolutely LOVE Señor Pepper's! Me and my mother usually go into the Subway next door, but we were tired of always getting the same old thing. So, we decided to give this place a try! Everything is so fresh ! read more

Delicious. First time here and omg will definitely coming back. Street tacos are great. Beans are delish and really clean. The rice is very tasty. The homemade chips are great. The service is awesome. Great place to eat. read more

Best rice and salsa ever. I drive past lots of restaurants just to go here. Very reasonable lunch specials
