Whittier actually has a lot of fairly decent taquerias, but most of them are on Whittier Boulevard towards the 605. If you're in East Whittier, your best bet is Senor Pepper's, a tiny little placed wedged into one of Whittier Boulevard's ubiquitous strip malls. The food is very flavorful, and I've liked everything I've eaten here. The service is good; and the owner, who usually works the cash register, is very sweet. You can also watch them make your food, and it won't gross you out. When I lived at my parents' house after college, I used to order takeout from here all the time. read more

Delicious food. Lovely waitress Would definitely recommend. She was very attentive. The tacos were delicious. Def a hidden gem read more

I've always seen this place while driving on Whittier Blvd. and always wondered if it was any good. Well today I decided to walk in and give the place a try. I was the only customer in there and I was greeted by a very nice lady. I ordered their wet burrito special with carne asada and let me tell you, it was one of the best wet burritos I've had in a while! I was really impressed! Another thing that surprised me was their fresh salsas. I've never had good tasting salsa like that before and you could tell it was homemade. I have to get myself back here again to try their other dishes. Give this place a go my fellow Yelpers! read more

Always come here to have breakfast and enjoy a coffee right before I head to work. If you are looking to have a once a week to have Mexican food this place on Whittier Blvd is the place to come with good pricing and flavors of foods. Just I don't recommend the taco if you like real! Mexican tacos from the truck are always going to be better. I don't know why ??? Hmmm read more

Ridiculous expensive for poor quality Mexican food. We hoped the high prices meant good quality food. =( My group was very disappointed with our order: a wet asada burrito, macho nachos with asada and a steak fajita salad. We couldn't believe how bland the food was. Plus the asada was very chewy because of all the fat on the meat. They did have delicious iced tea, but I only had a few sips since my cup was completely filled with ice. Drinks are not self serve, so they charge for refills. $2.25 for an horchata-$1 for a refill The cashier was so busy talking to the cooks that she'd have other customers walk behind the counter to refill their waters themselves. My brother waited at the counter patiently to ask for a take-out box while she continued to chat away. He finally got their attention, so a cook walked over and handed it to him. With the price we paid we could have had a tastier lunch at El Torito with free refills and table service included. (And I'm not even a fan of El Torito!) read more

The best chile rellenos ever. I'm here at least once a week, usually twice. My other favs are the chicken fajita salad (delicious cilantro lime dressing), carne asada tacos, and beef flautas. Their salsa is wonderful as well. I can never get enough Senor Pepper's!!! read more

I've been a regular here for many years and always get the same thing. Wet veggie burrito. I'm vegetarian and it's hard to find good vegetarian food. So when I'm in the mood for a burrito this is my choice to stop. I also love the fresh salsa. My carnivore friends tell me the meat is spicy but I can't say. Also for veg-heads the green sauce is not veg. read more

I come to eat for lunch once in a while and so does my staff. The food is good, they don't take long to make their order which is great. The owner is really nice & humble. I have had the burrito, tacos, and chorizo con huevos. Great service. read more

Service is great and prompt but the food is not as authentic tasting. They don't really have anything past mildly spicy.

This is one of my fav places here in whittier! Not only is it clean & good the prices are very reasonable! They have a lunch special that has plenty to choose from! & yes they get busy at lunch but some helpful intent do a phone order & u wont have to wait, they will have to charge u when u get there! read more

Unbelievably delicious salsa. I am a salsa junky and their house salsa makes everything else I ever eaten seem bland and stupid. The beans were amazing as well. I could live off of those beans and salsa and be happy for the rest of my life. My daughter got the fish tacos and she said that it was light and spicy. I had 3 rolled chicken tacos. The chicken was moist! Usually, most places dry it out. The guacamole was just "ok". I added some of the house salsa to it and it brought it up to par! Support this place. It's amaze-ballz! read more

We live nearby and will order out from there from time to time, but no more. Recently ordered various things and nothing was even really good, just OK, except my burrito which was awful. I ordered the pork green chili burrito, all meat. No beans and no rice. Cut into the burrito and hit a big piece of pork fat. I cut it open looking for a piece of pork that did not need to have the fat trimmed and absolutely every piece of pork was cut with more fat than pork. We all decided there were plenty of other places nearby, so never again Senior Pepper. read more

Food was below okay. Okay means I would eat it again . This I wouldn't. Ambiance: good enough Clean: Yes! It's actually clean I always judge how clean a restaurant is by they restroom , and Señor Peppers has a very nice restroom and smells clean. Service: okay, I guess Food: I got the green salsa burrito sauce had no flavor & the beans seemed to be out of a can , I would say probably 2 tablespoons of meat & lots of unnecessary onion. Chips were below okay & SALSA was below okay also. The water that they offered was actually pretty drinkable compared to other places (thumbs up for that!) Price: I spent 9.70 on 1 burrito & chips I think that is about 3 dollars over priced since the food isn't good . Now I really hope they fix the food because it's a nice place to have lunch at, maybe make the burrito better & charge more ? read more

Excellent service! Erica was very helpful and my order (which contained multiple individual orders) was ready on time and everything was correct. Will definitely use and recommend. Did I mentioned the food was excellent? read more

Senor Pepper's - #2 - Mexican Near Me - Whittier, California

This used to be my "go to" place for quick Mexican food! Not anymore! The prices went way up and the customer service is terrible now. Long waits for to go orders, always messing up my order. Really sad. This used to be awesome. Tonight I ordered for my folks to surprise them and after throwing out $55 for 3 people, I got home and my order was wrong. I called to let them know and he told me I had to bring back the food and he would make it again. Frankly, I don't have another hour to waste, waiting for them to get my order redone. I won't be back...which makes me really sad. read more

Great deal on small tacos. Same ownership for a long time so very consistent and authentic Mexican food.

This place is great! The food is excellent, the Assad's is good the corn tortillas are soft, and all their salsa is delicious. My son and I come every Tuesday after his games and the staff is always super friendly. They also have really yummy chips and salsa. Great place! read more

Senor Pepper's - Even grandma loves this place - Mexican Near Me - Whittier, California

I can only speak for the street tacos. This is my office staff favorite place. The asada tacos and alpastor are pretty good. Service is good no wait time and you can always call in ur food. read more

Omg, can I just stop you from wasting your money? This place is a disgrace to Mexican food. If you want authentic Mexican food, you're better off going to Taco Bell. Ordered a taquito plate, carne asada fries, carne asada nachos and a bean and cheese burrito. The best thing from our order was the bean and cheese and that's being generous. Can you really mess that one up? I don't even know what else to say besides don't go there. read more

Best tasting Menudo in Whittier along with a bean n cheese burrito ! The people here are super nice and the area is nice ...... read more

Senor Pepper's - Mexican Near Me - Whittier, California

when looking for something good to eat this place was ok nothing special. I mentioned to them that it was my first time here the cashier said "great you'll be back" I said "great". I ordered tacos, burritos, nachos, quesadilla, chili relleno and other stuff it was nothing special it tasted like really white washed trying to be Mexican food. Sorry to say I was not back and it has been around 10 years, I recently went back to give them another shot because I was going to subway right next door and I looked over and thought to myself what the heck, BIG MISTAKE it was worse than I remember. I will NOT BE BACK do us all a favor and CLOSEYOUR DOORS. read more

I was here waiting for a postmates pick up that I was going to be delivering. While waiting at a table I spotted a roach walking around on the floor! I would definitely avoid eating here! read more

Great tacos, fairly priced. Great hot salsa! Beans and rice are ok and enchilada sauce taste canned.

SEÑOR PEPPERS MEXICAN Food has never disappointed me, a very old client, every time that i go it is a big pleasure to enjoy such a good food for very small prices. CONGRATS TO HECTOR. (the cook) Gracias Hector por toda la buena comida y el cuidado que tienes en prepararla y en atenderrnos. Te lo dice un Mexicano que sabe de comida Mexicana. How can you compare Subway (fast-food) with SEÑOR'S PEPPERS GREAT FOOD, NO WAY !!! read more

the cashier was rude. the food was gross made me and my mom sick. and it was way overpriced

I don't know what took me so long to post this review, maybe it was because I was too busy stuffing my face with their delicious tacos or maybe one of their awesome burritos and all the while eating their tortilla chips with their hot and tasty green chili but whatever it was I was eating, I guess I was too full and satisfied and I forgot to write this. Lol All I know is Señor Pepper's has some really delicious food! My favorite is the beef hard tacos and potato tacos! Yummy! Everything on their menu is delicious and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend them. read more

Great name, better food, always a trip carnal! I wanted to go to subway but the posters intrigued me so I went in there to get some dank burritos. I cannot say I was disappointed would definitely go back. I recommend to any body looking for some quality Mexican cuisine. ¡Ariba! read more

Honestly one of the worst places I've ever been. Their Asada is not real asada and has no flavor I ordered a burrito and they stuffed it with lots of rice and beans and very little meat! Customer service is terrible and it's not authentic Mexican food honestly they don't even deserve 1 Star! read more

The restaurant has some great lunch specials but no refills on soft drinks or complementary chips and salsa, It was very hot outside in 90"s with no air condition you could feel the hot grill. I ordered the enchilada plate which was good. The employees were not friendly or even thankful for my business. Will I stop again no!!! read more

Go here for their burritos and there salsa. The food here has a good unique flavor. They also have great customer service. the owner is a very sweet lady. very clean environment. read more

Large group of us at work ordered from menu online. Outdated and incorrect prices on menu deceiving the group. Expensive and poor food quality. Rice wasn't cooked as bell peppers were raw and taquitos were inedible. Guacamole was sour or previously frozen and tasted sour. They also didn't complete the order as the left off the beans. read more

If you like Mexican food and love airbrushed art all over the walls of the place that you are eating, then this Is the place for you!

There is a very good reason why this has been a Whittier casual-dining staple for years, many actually: ingredients are wonderfully fresh, meats are top quality and cooked to perfection, their grilled fish tacos are the BEST in town, delicious guacamole. The fajita salad is a great lo-cal option and their homemade cilantro-lime vinaigrette is original and tasty as dressing gets. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I wished they served beer. License in the works, guys? read more

Way too overpriced! Customer service lacked a lot, when I went up to order the lady looked like she hated her life! Food was okay. Overall will not come back! read more

Holy Crap!! Did I come on an off day? This place sucks ass. Food was cold...rice was hard...service sucked. Um...Hi ...hello...Im the only customer in this joint...think you can stop gossiping for one minute and take my order. I finally got my to go order..drove home...hey i live a mile away...and my burrito was cold...in the middle. Come on guys for reals?! get your sh!t straight read more

Order a wet red burrito. The outside was moist but the inside was very dry with on flavoring.

I'd give it 3 and a quarter stars if I could, but definitely not 4 so I'll stick with 3. Although the woman behind the counter was sweet, the food was just too bland for my taste. The portions were not necessarily small but could have been a bit bigger and the prices were too high. Just didn't do it for me. read more

This is not a full service restaurant. You place your order at the counter and pick it up when it is ready. Unlike all good Mexican restaurants, you have to pay for your chips (most likely from a store), and I imagine you would have to pay more if you wanted a chip refill. Drinks also were not refillable. The price for our food also cost more than if we had gone to a real sit down Mexican place. Maybe the food would make up for the lack of service and high price? Obviously with a 2 star rating it didn't. My asada burrito was OK, but nothing special. My wife ordered the 2 tamale plate and asked for the sauce on the side. When she ordered, the owner said no problem to sauce on the side. When my wife went to pick up the order, her tamales were covered in sauce. The owner told my wife that they did that so the tamales wouldn't be dry. No apologies or attempt to correct the problem. She obviously didnt want to have to lose money by making my wife the tamales the way she ordered them. Normally, I would feel sorry for the people who would give this place a 4 or 5 star review, but I could see how they might truly enjoy this place. If you come here to try it, and like it, just make sure to disregard any of my other yelp reviews. Of course, you will never find me here since I will never return. read more
