Hands down the most authentic Mexican spot in Jax. Food is delicious, staff is always so friendly, and I am so excited that they are expanding the restaurant and the tienda!
Great service , friendly staff and an abundance of employees willing to translate my inquiries. I love the variety that this grocery store , butcher and restaurant has to offer. I can ask for many different cuts of fresh cut meats ranging from pork, chicken , beef or seafood. The variety of fresh and exotic fruits and vegetables are endless. The place is busy with very fast service. They even offer fresh cut ready to ear fruit at the checkout along with fresh bakery items . I always have a wonderful and insightful experience here.
Really good food and service :) It is lively and there's a grocery store connected to the restaurant.
One of my new favorite Mexican places. Very authentic. Great prices, great value. I can't wait to go back and try more things! The chipotle bistec plate and the chicken meal my fiancé got were great. Highly recommend the shrimp ceviche tostadas, the shrimp was super fresh. We are gringos (hablo un poco Español) and our server was very patient and helpful in describing menu items we weren't familiar with and helping my fiancé choose an entree. This would be a great place to enjoy some cervesas or margaritas with a group of friends. Everything really hit the spot! I will definitely be taking more time to meander through the grocery store connected to the restaurant next time and see what catches my eye!
We ran across Pepe's restaurant while looking for a good place to get Mexican candy. We came back to try the food and have been back multiple times to try more items on the menu. First thing you need to know is that most of the menu is in Spanish. There are a lot of items on the menu to try. All you need to know is that bistec is steak and pollo is chicken. The chips are made from flour tortillas so they are different from other Mexican restaurants. They are different and can sometimes be very crispy/chewy. But don't let that deter you from trying this place. * The menu prices haven't changed so you can get a great meal for two for less than $30. * Dishes are authentic so they may be different than the what you are used to at other Mexican places. But be daring and give it a try The best dish we've had so far is the Taco's Pepe Bistec. You can get this as three tacos or a plate. Be sure to get the plate if you want the rice and beans. The Chilaquiles Bistec are good - be sure to get it with the eggs. I'll be back and try more items on the menu.
If you want authentic, this place is it. I can't believe I've never been here before, and I cannot wait to try more things on the menu. On top of that, the prices were great - especially compared to some local chains. Then after you eat, ensure you stroll around the store! There's a meat / butcher shop in the back and a huge pastry and bakery section.
Pepe's Hacienda is a hidden gem located in a nondescript strip mall on a forgotten side street (at least that's what it appeared to me as when I was following my Google directions) in Jacksonville, Florida. It is a restaurant with a small market attached to it that produces some fantastic food at an even more fantastic price. Scanning the menu, I opted for a steak burrito. They brought me an order of chips and salsa prior to my burrito and when the burrito came it was a good sized burrito and quite filling. It was also pretty good. I understand that is nothing groundbreaking, however, I failed to mention that the burrito was $4.95. Yes, under five dollars. I could not eat as cheaply at Taco Bell or even Subway and I was quite stuffed when leaving. Service was good, however there was a definite language barrier. Nothing too bad, but when I asked the one girl a question she ran and got another girl. She still did not understand me fully, but I was able to convey my order to her. Since it is in a shopping plaza, parking was not an issue and it was an easy process of getting here of of University (just down that one side street). Pepe's Hacienda is an excellent choice if you are looking for a great meal at a value price. It is far superior to fast food, yet has a similar (or lower) price point. I am so happy that I stumbled across this hidden gem and will definitely return. So, yes, I definitely give this place my recommendation. Go check it out.
