    I eat at Pepitos on occasion; however, each experience is hit or miss. The food quality is similar to other restaurants in the area but almost double the price. Service is average. Margaritas aren't very strong. I'm happy to tag along if my friends already plan on eating here but Its certainly not my first choice.

    Terrible service and equally bad food. The food was cold, also there is no alcohol in their $5.00 over priced margaritas.

    Sometimes it's the little things. The chips are really thin and flavorful. The hand made guacamole is fantastic (you custom order it the way you want it). They use only quality ingredients and the recipes are from their families kitchens. Margaritas are made with fresh lime juice (not a mix like everywhere else). So if you want "real" Mexican food go to "Pepito's Grill".

    Cant go wrong with Pepito's! Dont be fooled there are no authentic Mexican restaurants in Tuscaloosa but this comes the closest. They need to get better quality meat but its not super expensive to eat here.

    The roll tide taquitos are awesome. The perfect balance of chicken, beans, tortilla and cheese. Pepitos stands out from the other Mexican places around by offering some more unique items than you tend to get at several.

    Worst service ever! After waiting at the bar (!) for about 25 minutes, someone finally decided to show up but he was so rude that I decided to leave!

    This is my favorite Tuscaloosa Mexican restaurant. The food and the margaritas are fresh and delicious. The service can be slightly slow if you're sitting outside, but who cares. The salsa is also spectacular.

    In a town full of Mexican restaurants Pepito's is consistently good and cheap. It doesn't have the margaritas of El Rincon, or the convenient downtown location, but the food is better. The menu is large, by comparison, and you get good-sized portions. The service is decent for a Mexican restaurant, which is to say, well above average.

    Summary: Horrible Service (aside from the "Salsa Guy") Went there one night with a moderately sized group of people. The service was so bad, we left before ordering. Pros: 1) The "Salsa Guy." As soon as we were seated, he came out with warm chips and moderately spiced salsa. Everything else when downhill from there. 2) Aroma The delicious smell of enchiladas was enough to pull our group in from The Strip. Cons: 1) Location Had the hardest time trying to find somewhere to park. 2) Space The restaurant is small. It fills up with drunk University of Alabama students quickly. 3) Incompetent Staff The waiter made the space feel even smaller by seating our group between two other large groups. There was barely enough space to pull away from the table, let alone move your elbows. We noticed that there was plenty of space on the other side of the partition. Why we weren't placed there is anyone's guess. 4) Rude Staff Waiter became frustrated when we asked him to explain the drink specials. "No, that's Tuesday - Thursday." "No, that's only Monday and Wednesday." "No, that beer is only for Sundays during a Harvest Moon." I was tempted to order a drink just to throw it in his face. Additionally, he left the table for 15 minutes in order to give us time to review the menus (i.e. smoke break). We were left with lukewarm nachos/salsa, no water, and no silverware. So we calmly packed our things and left, leaving Pepito's with no business from us. I'm not even going to speculate as to *why* this place had crap-tacular service. I didn't stay long enough to survey the opinions of the dim-witted, drunk, Confederate flag-wearing patrons squished next to me.

    Pepitos is definitely my favorite spot for Mexican food in Tuscaloosa. The margaritas are delicious and pretty reasonably priced as well. Also, I believe they have happy hour specials throughout the week on Margaritas. The chips there are amazing and the white queso dip is also delicious. The service is not the best, but it's not horrible either. I would highly recommend this as the best Mexican restaurant in Tuscaloosa.

    Well, I learned to order the right stuff, which apparently is a frozen margarita, guacamole, and a chicken taco. The outdoor patio is pretty nice on a clear evening. It was really good. Right on, Pepitos!

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
