Pepe's Mexican Restaurant

Birria Tacos were great. Although they forgot to put in onions and cilantro. So I had to ask for them separately. Keep that in mind when ordering.

I don't normally consume beef. I gave Pepe's an exception. Definitely did not disappoint! So flavorful and tender. Even the shell/tortilla of the birria has a distinct flavor. The green salsa is pretty hot, it made me sweat. I like that their menu has a few items, you know it's good because it's highly specialized. All their attention is focused on those only. More of a take out place than a dine in.

This place doesn't mess around- SERIOUSLY great birria. That tender melt in your mouth melt your heart experience. The consume is fiesty and flavorful and the tacos are fried to crisp perfection. Consistently lovely service- perfect to stop by for a quick bite that will leave you wanting to come back again and again

We visited a little bit after midnight and got the combo it was very tasty plenty of onion and cilantro for only $12 and a short, five minute wait I would definitely recommend this place the staff was also friendly.

The taco I have been searching for. This one hit the spot, perfect texture of the cheese, the carnitas is delicious as always. The quesadillas is good as well!! Totally recommend this place.

Best tacos in Austin hands down, service is slow and they're not the most attentive people but who cares if the food is good, also, it's amazing that they're open really late for those cravings.

Small specialized menu. Taco de Birria w/ cheese was so tasty! The beef was well seasoned and the deep fried corn shell was fantastic. The sauce was also bomb. We had to go get seconds. Service was really great and the food came quickly. Some cons - no prices on the menu, very small for the price, each person would need 3 of these for it to be a meal. Combo doesn't specify how many or what it comes with, non combo order doesn't come with consome (though the person was nice enough to give it to us for free). Overall though, the food was so good that we will definitely be back when the Birria cravings some back!

First time here I had to say that I really like it I definitely recommend this birria spot they also need a additional salsas maybe like a md spicy an spicy one too.

Really great, crunchy birria tacos. There were a few fatty pieces as others have mentioned in other reviews, but it wasn’t anything distasteful. I thought it was awesome! The only thing that made our experience bad was the staff member taking our order, not very friendly. Ruined a bit of our experience for National Taco Day.

Had to try the TikTok trend and my friends recommended this place. I was a bit nervous...since I've actually never tried goat before, but it truly was so delicious. The flavors are amazing. My only regret is not getting more. I practically drank the consume after. Will be going back, just need to get more napkins it is a little greasy.

I've had several birria spots and I believe this one could use improvement. Once arriving at the food truck it took the lady at the window more than 10 minutes to take my order. Dint apologize for the wait or greet me. The tacos themselves could use more meat and the tacos were too small. The consume itself had good flavor and came with a huge cup. I will give them a second try because I believe in second chances, but not my go to spot for birria tacos.

I love Pepes tacos and this is my 4th or 5th order.. HOWEVER this last order did not make the cut. One of my tacos was filled with fat and all of them could’ve used more time on the grill, they weren’t smoking hot and filled with their usual flavory juices. Hence, 3 out of 5 stars. I was pretty bummed this is what I opened up on my lunch break. Pics included.

I ordered a pickup order of Birria tacos because I was craving some good ones with the sauce and saw the reviews. I show up to the place, the girl doesn’t greet me annnddd for $8 with two tacos, they DON’T come with sauce! Say what? Very disappointed. Then I got the sauce and it was extra watery. Overall two stars because the meat and cheese were overall good.

Shells were cold and soggy, meat was all pure fat, the birria dip was stored in a huge pot in the back of a car that’s parked in the parking lot. Had huge chunks of fat in it. Guy told us they were out of onion and cilantro but when I asked if he could remake them for us our new ones had onion and cilantro. Just bad, don’t risk it because there are a few good reviews. Find a better taco place.

My birria tacos had a huge long black hair in them. Glad I saw it before I ate it so I was able to throw the entire meal away promptly. I got my refund however I'm never ordering from here again. Choose a more reliable/safe option.

birria taco combo was so dry no flavor barley ANY onions or cilantro on the tacos, the consome was so BLAND. very disappointed!!

Easily the worst ""birria"" tacos ive had... quotations because im not completely sure if I can even call it birria. Being from Dallas maybe I expected to much? But I should have known ,seeing that the tortilla was soggy right off the back and even the meat didnt look like any other birria ive had at any other place so I guess I had it coming. To put it simple , If I didnt spend 30+ dollars on these tacos they would have went straight in the trash where they belong.

I decided to try this food truck and was really disappointed. They charge almost $15 for three birria tacos, 3!!!!!!which were just average-sized -- not overfilled, not huge or crazy, nothing special about them. What made it worse was that the order was labeled as a combo, but it didn't even include a drink. So on top of paying $15+, you still have to buy your drink separately. If your trying to go on a date and want to share a combo with your partner you would be paying about 7.50$ for 1 small taco and half of another taco.Drinks NOT INCLUDED For takeout, the presentation was terrible. They threw the hot tacos straight into a foam container with no paper or liner -- most taco trucks at least put a liner between the food and the foam plate to separate hot food. They also gave half a lemon chopped into three tiny pieces, which honestly felt lazy and lackluster. The tacos themselves were not worth the price at all -- no interesting flavor, no punch, nothing that made them stand out from any other vendor. The consomé (the broth the meat is cooked in) came in a tiny cup, almost the size of a mouthwash cup, which was ridiculous for the price. I can see how someone who doesn't eat tacos or isn't Mexican can find this place as "good" but their just scamming their customers. Between the poor presentation, misleading "combo," and inflated prices, this place just feels like a scam. There are plenty of food trucks that serve better food with better quality, presentation, and value. The only positive thing I can say is that the service was friendly -- the lady taking orders was nice. Also, parking was confusing -- they have about 5 spaces, and it's unclear if you're allowed to park next door the worker didn't know as well. Definitely better out there save your money and go elsewhere PLEASE!!
