Pepe’s Cocina

If you're in Hatch, you MUST try Pepe's! We stopped here based on others' reviews and were soooo glad we did. Hubs had their green chile cheeseburger and immediately declared it the best one he'd ever eaten, and trust me - he's eaten a LOT. The fries that came with it were plain but perfectly cooked. They could've used a bit more salt but that's easily remedied to personal preference.I tried the chile relleno burrito and lord help me, I swear it was heaven wrapped in a tortilla. It was THAT good. Two chile rellenos and refried beans...why haven't I ever thought of doing this?!?The one negative was the porta potty they had for a restroom, but let me tell you - it was the cleanest one I've ever been in. The sink is inside the restaurant.The ambiance is old fashioned casual, and everything was immaculate. The service was wonderful, especially considering we were there right as they opened.Overall, we loved Pepe's so much we'd happily make a side trip to Hatch to eat here again. Try it! I'm betting you'll love it!

Oh my! This Mexican food was great! We ordered the Green chili cheeseburger and the Birria tacos. The green chili made this big cheeseburger pop! The Birria tocos were crispy and loaded with meat and cheese. Of course all the chilis are sourced locally from the family farm. The service was good, they served chips and homemade salsa to the table while the food was prepared. Pepe's Cocina is a food truck converted into a restaurant and comfortable inside. Put this restaurant on your must try list.

Man. If you love chiles, Mexican, or just delicious food period. STOP HERE! We tried the hatch Chile burger- ugh! Man! It was just the right amount of spicy and juicy and glorious. We also tried the asada tacos. The meat was tender, seasoned well, and just as good! The tortilla were handmade y'all. Like what?! To drink we ordered the fresh aguas: Jamaica and lemonade . They were just the right amount to sweet to counter the spicy and savory of the food.The down: the fries were kinda plain- fixed them up with ketchup and tons of salt. I'm sure they are great with their loaded fries options like : carne aside fries and hot Cheeto fries but as a side with the extremely flavorful burger they fell a little short. Also! My 4 year old had a weird request to separate the meat from the tortilla and they were super sweet about Overall, Pepe's was the sh**.

Good food . I had the watermelon Fresca it was refreshing . I had the chili relleno and Greg had the el pastor and carne asada tacos . All was good and friendly staff too

Visited Pepe's Cocina while touring the Hatch Chili Festival in September. We HIT THE JACKPOT with this place! Right now, I am craving some of their green chili stew. They serve it in a tall quart container: beans in the bottom, chili on top and issue a long-handled spoon and a warm tortilla. Sooooo delicious! My husband had the pork stomach tacos and the pork intestine tacos--and loved them as well. Very nice people and a great experience. Great food at a great price.

Truly one of the most amazing Mexican meals of my long life. It was my husband's chile relleno burrito that pushed me over the edge. Beautiful proportions, perfect chile relleno, homemade tortilla, fresh salsa-- I'm dying for it as I write this. I can't wait for our next drive through Hatch for my second Pepe's meal.

This place was a little difficult to find as the town has no internet service for GPS. It is actually just outside the city limit sign on Hwy 26 on the west side of town. Was very clean and friendly. I had the nachos which were absolutely delicious, which now rate in the top three of all nachos I've ever had. My partner had a beef burrito which, again, was outstanding! I highly recommend this place!

Amazing birria tacos! Great stop in Hatch. We found this place on the side of the road and were not dissapointed! Friendly staff and good agua frescas as well!

It's like a permanently parked good truck with a nice enclosed seating area. We arrived as they were about to close but they were happy to take our order and we never felt "hurried along." Amazing chile relleno. Wish we lived closer, we'd be there a lot.

Came here from the five star reviews. Very disappointed with the food. Tacos very dry and served without any type sauce.
