My wife and I were on our way to New Orleans from Fort Worth and looking for a place to stop for a…read morebreak and a bite to eat. Natchitoches, LA was the next town coming up and I started checking Yelp reviews in the area. El Patio, which had solid reviews, looked like an easy off and on from the Interstate plus there was a gas station in close proximity. It was perfect place for us to stop, stretch our legs and get a bite to eat. When we walked in the decor of the restaurant was a feast for the eyes. The chairs and tables were painted with bright colors and designs. It looks like Fiesta Time all the time. Victor, our server greeted us and took our drink orders. No margaritas, but a big glass of unsweetened iced tea was in order. A hot basket of chips and a small carafe of salsa was dropped off at our table. The salsa was good, but too mild for our tastes. The tortilla chips were very good. I decided on the #1 Lunch Special which included a Chille Relleno and a crispy beef taco. Both platters were accompanied with refried beans and rice. Wow, what a quick turnaround from the kitchen! Victor was back in a flash with our lunch entrees. Both of our lunch entrees were very enjoyable and spiced nicely. We both had happy tummies by the time we left El Patio and headed towards New Orleans. Next time we're in the area, we'll make a point of stopping in and try something new on the menu.

Or was it because it was Sunday or the only place open in this small town. Either way, the service was ok and the food was ok. I truly was not impressed as my wife's taco salad was greasy that it almost looked watered down. My enchiladas were ok, not great but ok. But what got me is that my grandson had to wait because his order was taken by another server and they had to redo his meal. This place will do in a pinch if you are passing through and hungry.

I didn't love the rice and beans or salsa at all which is usually the first thing I use to determine if the rest of the food will be good .. I thought that the rice was over cooked and lacked flavor and beans were too thick and flavorless .. the rest of the food was good I ordered the carne de puerco/roja it was very good with authentic red chile flavor and the rest of my party ordered the lengua tacos and street corn .. I didn't love it but the service was great and the atmosphere was nice and clean.. this is Mexico City street food..! Different but good.

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.
