Pepitos

This is an OUTSTANDING restaurant and it’s beyond obvious that they poured their love into it! Great ambiance and even better food! Shout out to Nayeli-she was our waitress her kindness and knowledge of the menu helped us decide our new favorites. We will be loyal customers and regularly drive a long way to come here for date nights and days! Fav Mexican food in SoCal. Oh….. you’ve got to get the cucumber margarita with jalepeno and tajin rim!

Or bartender and server, Carolina was an absolute gem! Made suggestions on food and then made me the most amazing cucumber, Jalepeno margarita.

The good was delicious, the drinks were spot on, the service was great but the best part has to be the LIVE music! So great to have this in Orange Crest. I will be back.

I'd been wanting to try this for a while. Adan was our server, and he was great. Very attentive to what we needed. As soon as he saw our drinks going low, he'd come to refill them. I had the Spinach Limon water [no refills] and some regular water on the side. I have to say the spinach water was definitely satisfying. I tried the Enchiladas Morelia. They were pretty good. I definitely loved the salsa that was provided when we first arrived. The chips were good, too. My husband tried the bacon wrapped shrimp. I have to say they were not the best. They were deep-fried, which made them extremely greasy. He's had them at other places which are cooked stove top which, in my opinion, are more enjoyable. He ate 1 shrimp and gave up trying to eat any more. The rice and beans were delicious. Overall, the food was enjoyable. I didn't think it was too expensive, but I would prefer to be able to see the pricing on the menu. Sometimes, I'll choose what to eat based on that. I wouldn't want to pay $10 for just a taco. Not that Pepitos tacos cost that much. The restaurant didn't really change at all from the way it was when it was a Coco's. There was only one other patron in the restaurant when we went [Monday at 4pm]. After reading some of the reviews, I was glad Adan provided the best customer service possible. I will definitely be coming back in the future. I hope management pays attention to the reviews and tries to improve. I always hate seeing restaurants go out of business. We spent $52 plus $10 tip on 2 entrees, 1 soda, and 1 Agua Fresca.

Well to start off it was our first time here. The girl said the wait would be 35 mins we waited an hour to be called and be seated. Service was very slow but at the end of our meal our server explained why it was the way it was. The food was good but the service should of been better. Our waiter was real nice tho.
