pepe's & mito's mexican cafe

really good food and hospitality. since moving to dallas, i think i have tried amexicanrestaurant on every corner in my neighborhood. but, none of them have had such a great atmosphere of hostess and waitresses. they were awesome, especially one in particular! anyway, i had chicken and beef enchiladas and a sangria swirl to drink! really good food and the drink was on point. i'll def go back :)

delicious authentic. living in san diego, visiting mexico on weekends and living in texas i've eaten my fair share ofmexicanfood. this food was excellent. flavorful, authentic and prices reasonable. recommend it. the place is pretty packed, a sure sign of good eats.

we heard about this restaraunt thru triple d, they did not dissapoint, great food ,great service great value cold beer and great marg's perhapsd the bestmexicanfood we have had in a restaurant!

i can’t say that i never dine in chain restaurants, but i made it a goal several years ago to try to experience smaller, individually owned places, places that have individuality and character.  pepe’s and mito’smexicancafe in deep ellum is that kind of place.  i found pepe’s and mito’s on a food app that i utilize quite often.  after visiting their website, i knew that i had to try this place.  while the dallas metroplex has numerous tex-mex restaurants, pepe’s and mito’s consider their food mex-tex.  they put the emphasis on the “mex”.  they have been featured on the food network channel show diners, drive-ins, and dives, hosted by guy fieri.

best hiddenmexicanfood restaurant, i love going here! the salsa is on point and the skinny margaritas will knock you on your ass they are so yummy!!!

if your are looking for solidmexicanfood, this is your joint. i am a creature of habit and usually get the same dish at places every time i visit - not the case here. everything smells and looks so good that i am constantly asking my waiter what a table next to me is having! recently we went for their brunch menu - served saturday and sunday from 11am to 5pm. so delicious!

all of them are delightful, delicious, damned good. homemade chose and salsa, caritas, enchiladas, it's all good!

bestmexicanfood. husband and i went for lunch on a wednesday, because of course, i saw ddd, and it was the bestmexicanfood we've had in a long time! the tacos nortenas, and a combo #5, with a chicken enchilada, spinach enchilada, and tamale. the food is fresh, stuffed with spinach and chicken, homemade, and w wonderful. the chips and salsa was delicious, and they fry their own tortillas for the chips. we will be back, even though e live in mckinney! we will be back because it's worth the drive. and pepe's wife is a sweetheart.

don't judge the book by its cover. as we drove by pepe's at night, we saw the outside of the restaurant and the surrounding area. it is on a dark - run down part of the street, and can be quiet scary if you don't know dallas. my friends and i were so close to passing on the "ghetto" lookingmexicanrestaurant, but after contemplating it decided to give it a try.

when you walk in the door, you completely forget about the area of town as the atmosphere is inviting and comforting. the host sat us down quickly, and we were served some of the greatest chips and salsa i've had. the waiter was great and spoke fluent english. i had the botanas, which was amazing, but my friends had the chimmy changa, nachos, and enchiladas. everyone was pleased after dinner and we were glad we decided not to judge the restaurant by its appearance from the outside.

10 out of 10. especially because of the cleanliness of the inside as well as the bathrooms. this is a must eat!

cool place to enjoymexicanfood. great find. great casual vibe. great experience on a late friday afternoon. the tacos al carbon were tasty, the beef and the peppers were flavorful and cooked perfectly. pleased with the guacamole and salsa. chips nicely thin and crispy. margarita just o.k. full bar. visiting from out of town and discovered this restaurant on urbanspoon. friendly, prompt service; delicious food and casual atmosphere. was a little concerned about the neighborhood, but clientele was mid-upper scale. lots of regulars. i would definitely go back.

bestmexicanrestaurant in dfw hands down!. my husband & i have been coming here for 14 years. you must try the tacos nortenos, shrimp enchiladas & tacos al carbon. their guacamole, salsa, boracho beans, queso, quesadillas & nachos are awesome! i would highly recommend pepe's & mito's!!

there's bettermexicanfood. we tried this place for the first time today. we had seen it on diners, drive-ins & dives and thought "why not?". the food was mediocre at best. i had a margarita on the rocks and it was an unnatural shade of green. it did pack a little punch, but the flavor wasn't that great. the only thing that was good was the tomatillo sauce on the pork tamal. much better queso at maracas one street over and $1 drink specials for brunch!

located in deep ellum, pepe’s & mitos prides itself on being mex-tex. you read that right. mex-tex, not tex-mex. they want their food to be classicmexicancuisine with a touch of texas flare versus the alternative. boy, do they achieve that.

on a friday night at 7 we only waited about 10 minutes for a table, which was reasonable. the chips and salsa were good, as were the tortillas and queso, although they charge for both and the queso is nothing more that what you get for free at mostmexicanrestaurants. the food was very good, and fairly priced. the only gripe with the meal i had was with the pace of service, we waited too long to give our order and also to receive our check. the waiters were very friendly, though, so it wasn't too bad.

this place is good, but not amazing. worth checking out, but not worthy of its 96% rating.

for a place that boasts about authenticmexicancuisine, it is very hard to understand why the chef would allow a the salsa served with chips to taste like ketchup. the chef is either in experienced or should not call himself a chef. the service was slow and the air conditoning was colder than the frozen margariitas. nope, i too don't understand the hype.

don't understand the hype. maybe i was in on a bad lunch day but following the high percentage of "likes' i decided to check this place out
wow what a disappointment.
the margaritas were watered down limeade
the fajitas are better at taco cabana
the enchiladas were just bland and smothered in tons of cheese...
i lovemexicanfood. more specifically tex mex but this place just didn't deliver... sorry
