Restaurant was packed but when my girlfriend and i went in, we were greeted and seated almost immediately. The server Joel was amazing and attentive. Joel is an amazing, friendly and paid attention to our wants and needs. The food was awesome and fresh. My girlfriend got the Fajita Chicken Cimichanga and I had the Shrimp Fajita Nacos. Everything was hot upon arrival and was perfectly seasoned and fresh. The aroma, taste and look of everything was exactly what you'd expect from authentic Mexican food. Both plates were so much food that we both have full bellies and lunch for tomorrow also. If you have the chance to go, do it. You will not be disappointed. I promise.

Then my son and I ordered for pickup and I got a taco salad with rancid smelling house dressing. Definitely NOT El Chico dressing. I didn't eat bc the smell of the dressing was so bad. My son ate his and said the food was just ok but not very good. Plus we had a long wait for our food at the pickup window. NOT IMPRESSED!!

Thoroughly enjoyed the dip trio, but will likely just get the queso next time because my asada taco came with so much guac already. Even the complimentary salsas were noticeably fresh. Outstanding flavors all around, warm service, and I love the locally sourced ingredients that make this place a standout in Shreveport.

The fresh theme continues with the chips and salsa. All of it's made in house, and these were some of the best chips and salsa I've had in a while. The chips are a light and thin and a little bit tricky to dip without breaking. Two sauces, green and red, are provided and each tastes--not to belabor the term-- fresh. The chile relleno is served on its own in a soup bowl with a light sauce and choice of protein on the outside. The poblano pepper itself is stuffed with cheese, as is proper for chile relleno. Again the sauce, the chili itself, and all the ingredients tasted fresh and light. Unlike most Mexican places, rice and beans is brought on a separate plate and not merged with whatever primary entree you've selected. Here again, fresh: there is rice that's almost like a basmati, and refried black beans that are refreshing change from the typical pinto bean base. Service is prompt, knowledgeable and attentive. I had the pleasure of having Angelo for my waiter. The restaurant staff is predominantly Hispanic, the kind of folks ICE likes to round up. (I really hope this reference become dated real fast). The point is these folks are familiar with Mexican food beyond just the concept of this restaurant. The clientele appears to be primarily local and a steady stream of them were coming through at 3:00 on a Sunday afternoon. Access is convenient from i-49 and not too far from I-20.

I ordered the chicken fajitas, which came out sizzling on a bed of grilled onions and bell peppers, with beans and rice on the side. The food was solid and satisfying--nothing overly fancy, but definitely enjoyable. My only real complaint is that you don't get much bang for your buck, at least not during the lunch hour. Still, the relaxed, no‑frills vibe makes it an easy choice for a quick, comforting meal. Good food, simple atmosphere, and a dependable spot when you're craving something familiar. The staff was friendly and attentive, which added to the experience.

I have been a patron of Pepe's for the past twenty-plus years. I am a Pepe's loyalist and…read moreenthusiast. I love Pepe's. I love it and I always will. So, I say all of this with a large outpouring of love. Pepe's has pulled possibly the biggest okey doke of all time. I'll explain. It was the end of the summer when I happened to be in Haughton and driving down the highway here, saw Pepe's from afar. And wow, from this distance and a rather high rate of speed, I saw at a glance, that Pepe's had changed. Like, it had a makeover. An extreme makeover. Pepe's of old was this comfortable, homey, free-standing yellow building with a very tiny interior located next to a strip mall. As I zipped by at summer's end, I could see that the yellow building was no longer, but that it appeared Pepe's had taken new residence within the neighboring strip mall. What I saw in-person from the car, and later online, like here on Yelp, was this unbelievable transformation. The outside of this new location looked fabulous. They did it. They got a new place! I loved the old spot but they always needed more room, more space, no telling what else they've done? But I could never find any pics of the new interior. What's it look like now? Not even here on Yelp. The much-adored yellow building is gone! I want to see the new place. Guess I'll have to check it out myself. So I did. For dinner one night. Pulling up. I eagerly get out of the car. It does look great. Even better standing there. They have a new parking lot even. This is great! I walk in. It is the exact same restaurant. The exact same place and location. Nothing's changed, 'cause nothing ever did. It is the original location. It's not a new location. They have matched, blended and attached the exterior of the old Pepe's to the strip mall. That is it. It is not new, not larger, not expanded or remodeled or updated. It is the exact same Pepe's as it always was and is. It has not changed. Literally, lipstick on a pig. Literally. But it's s good thing I love pigs. What I don't love is their sky high dinner menu. Hardly anything under twenty bucks. I've always been more of a lunch guy here. And that's when I'll return. But it was quite jarring to walk into what I thought was going to be this brand new Pepe's 2.0, only to see the same old, tiny, old interior hitting me back in the face. Stop by Pepe's for lunch if you're on a budget and feeling sentimental. Ain't nothing changed here. It's the same ol' same ol'. Not that that's a bad thing.

I don't remember if we took a while to browse the menu (this was our first time) but our food arrived at 5pm. I ordered the : "BIRRIA TACOS MEXICAN #39 ($16) Three yellow corn tacos dipped in birria juice, stuffed with birria beef, cheese, onions, and cilantro then grilled to crisp. Served with mexi- rice and charro beans" they were fantastic. So good!! As usual I was not able to finish and boxed my leftovers. When I received the check- my meal was priced at $13 (maybe priced for lunch?) I don't know. But it didn't hurt my feelings. Anyhow. It was a pleasant visit. Until the next table came in and was sat right directly beside us. Despite the empty room. Oh well. I definitely recommend!!
