Pepes Mexican Bar and Grill

3rd or 4th time dining in here. The interior is a far cry from the proceeding place that was in this location. Friendly staff, reasonable prices.

The food is good, it just lacks the zest of other local Mexican joints, particularly the one in nearby Crestline, OH. Given the fact that this place is recently opened, perhaps the grill and the skillets are not quite “seasoned”.

Great drinks!

Overall good experience, definitely recommend.

First time visiting the location. Greeted upon entering. Host multi tasked getting my family seated while running front desk checking customers out.

The service was great. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. Loved the variety of options to order.

This is not the same from what was at this location before, It’s better. The interior is completely updated with new tables and booths. The seating layout is different was well. The food was good . . The queso dip was very good and it was a lot. Very nice to see this area get a quality spot for Mexican food. Huevos con chorizo is not listed on the menu but it easily made upon request and it was delicious.

Walked in. Was told we had a 20 minute wait. We had plenty of space to sit for the wait time. About ten minutes in, we were seated. Chips and salsa were brought over. It did take a bit of time for the waitress to take our drink orders after that. We've been to plenty of Mexican restaurants and I have seen quicker times than that but it is what it is. The drinks came out like 30 seconds after we told her what we wanted.
Then another while later our food orders were taken. They did get one thing wrong with mine but it was fixed right away and with no problems. Food was good enough but I just wish they would have separated my tacos from the other foods. It made the shells very soggy and almost impossible to eat without looking like an animal. Especially when you only have one napkin and the waitress doesn't come around often. We ate our food and we paid then that was it. So all in all. It was pretty much ok. BTW It's kind of a small place so you're kinda packed in.

First visit to this newly opened Mexican restaurant in Bucyrus, OH. Based on my recollection of the previous restaurant and owners that closed 2 years ago or more, the inside decor has a more modern vibe, open space, and has a clean looking bar with televisions.

I went after the lunch crowd and had fairly prompt service and reasonable wait time. While I love the fact that the chips were fresh and salsa had a good amount of cilantro, for me, it lacked the bite of that typical jalapeño kick. I recommend the queso which is a generously served bowl for the price. The next visit I will be sure to try the guacamole which is the true measure of a successful Tex-mex place.

My lunch plate of arroz con pollo was a good portion and reasonably priced, and I added the fajita vegetables. My waiter (Pedro A, according to my receipt) was friendly enough but, as I was dining solo, didn’t appear to mingle as much as with other tables with multiple patrons. No biggie as he was still attentive.

Overall a nice place and it’s a welcome return to another restaurant option in the Crawford County seat. I’ll be back with another review.
