Pepe's Mexican Restaurant

I am in Georgetown, Kentucky for work this week and I finished early. So, I did some looking around and found Pepe's Mexican Restaurant close to my hotel. Walking in, I found myself in the middle of an explosion of color; just like I would expect in this type of restaurant. I was greeted quickly and taken to my table. My server was there immediately after I was seated with chips & salsa, and to take my drink order. I perused the menu and settled on Piñata Blanca. Piñata Blanca is a beef burrito with cheese dip and pico de gallo smothering the top. In addition to the burrito, it comes with a carne con queso bowl which is essentially a small, deep fried, flour street taco shell filled with ground beef and topped with queso and tomatoes. The dish also comes with sides of rice and beans.In typical Mexican restaurant style, my lunch came out of the kitchen quickly and was pipping hot. The dish was flavorful and plentiful. More than I should have eaten. I overate a bit! The chips were very nice. Warm, crispy, and slightly nutty tasting. The salsa was very good. Not to spicy, though I do love spice. Sometimes spicy salsa before a meal deadens your tastebuds for the rest of the meal. When my server, Jorge, brought me my bill, he was apologizing that he didn't visit my table enough to see how I was doing. There wasn't any issue at all in that department and I told him so. Jorge was super friendly, and a great server!Overall, I had a good experience at Pepe's Mexican Restaurant and for only spending $9.53 before tip, it was a great value! If you are ever in the Georgetown, Kentucky area, give Pepe's a visit.

Above average Mexican food though in recent years there have been better spots open up in town. Even still, the friendly servers and consistency keep us coming back when we are in Georgetown.

We were craving Mexican, and this place was near our hotel. The parking lot was PACKED when we arrived-good sign right? The inside was beautiful!!! Ornate tables and chairs (see pics), murals on the wall...For the atmosphere, I'd totally give 5 starsThe food: well, it was just alright. Good favor on the fajitas, stuffed chicken tacos were weird and served with a sauce on them-didn't taste bad, just nothing to write home about. The nachos were gross and I'd advise skipping them. Overall, I'd give the food 3 stars.Overall review-meeting in the middle and giving the place 4 stars. Worth a visit.

The past few times the service has been awful. I ordered something off the menu and like to replace the chicken with steak (due to a food allergy to chicken) This is something I've been getting for months and never had a problem. I was told by the server they could not do that. When asked why I was met with an eye roll and a head shake. I have never been made to feel so stupid in my life as the server made me feel. To make matters worse the server continued to give me looks and never came back till I was done with food. I love this place but I am not coming back. I have had nothing but problems when I dine in or carry out.

We added Pepe's in Georgetown as our staple for Mexican the moment we moved to Georgetown. Service is ALWAYS 10/10. Food quality is ALWAYS 10/10. Pricing is fair and the margaritas make me happy!

My husband and I were staying close and this place checked the boxes for us. We are not "Fancy" pants. We both really liked the service, the decor, the raspberry frozen Margarita and fajita salad. My husband had grilled chicken salad which was a giant chicken breast over char grilled broccoli, cauliflower and some other veggies and he really enjoyed it to his surprise. We sat in a cozy booth along the perimeter. I get sensory overload in cavernous restaurants so I try to avoid that situation. This place didn't bother me and we were able to hear each other talk and enjoy each other's company. With that said, we will be back because we found some treasure in Georgetown. This place was one. Thank you, Pepe for having us. I hope you are good to your employees.

We were visiting from Maryland but we are California natives and when I say we know Mexican food, we know Mexican food.As soon as we walked in, the smell and decor said "authentic" Mexican. I ordered the Chicken Cancun, my wife had the Carne asada tacos and my boys had chicken salad, stuffed chicken tacos, chicken fingers and a cheese quesadilla.We were truly impressed with the taste, quantity and price for the 6 of us. If you're just passing through, it's worth a stop.

Lunch menu is typical Mexican restaurant fare. Service was super fast. Price is right. My waiter was kind of throwing things onto my table. Maybe was just him. Not sure if he was angry ?? Anyway. Decent food. I give it about 2.8 bellies. Also there was a weird funky shaving cream smell back where I was sitting. And the seats have no support support. When you're sitting there the table is up to your face.

Totally screwed up my take out even after asking twice during the order process about correctness.Not ever again

Finally getting around to reviewing since I am now a local. I was introduced to Pepe's by my brother. He lived in Georgetown for quite a few years as did our mother so when I was in town from Colorado, we would usually come here at least once. It never fails to please and the ONLY strike I can give them is parking can be a bit challenging if you come at a busy time. You'll still be seated very quickly and get great service once you have managed to find a place to park.The ambiance is a little cheesy but, frankly, that's my lowest priority for most places I go. If the service is good (it is), the food is good (it definitely is), and I'm comfortable (both physically and mentally), I don't really care if it looks like a hole in the wall or if some gringo from 1962 designed the place. In fact, I have found the less 'atmosphere' a place has, the better it likely is.They are quick with the chips and salsa. I spent 25 years in Colorado where salsa is an art-form - this is a reliable standard. Not award-winning but you will enjoy it.I used to wander around the menu - never got anything bad, just nothing to really demand I order it again - until my brother keyed me in on the Pollo Vallarta. Very simple dish and it is simply amazing Every. Single. Time. I get it.My brother and his wife were regulars to the point their waiter would have the drinks at the table as they sat down. He would pause long enough to confirm what they wanted (making sure they weren't in the mood for something different) and have their order back to the kitchen post-haste.My brother and sister-in-law have since moved to Frankfort but when my fiancee and I happened to land in Georgetown, I already knew we had at least one place for good Mexican food. The four of us had dinner there this past weekend - still great.
