This place is great, they are cooking the pig on spits out front.. The food is amazing and the prices are good as well. It is rustic, open air, no air conditioning. Friendly staff

No visit to Puerto Vallarta is not complete with stopping at Pepe's at least once. The taco's here are small but oh so good. Very inexpensive meal.

We LOVE Pepe's. Don't expect any white table cloths or cloth napkins, this is not the place for those. What you can expect is the BEST tacos of your life. This is a little hole in the wall with no doors, but it is clean and authentic...You've go to got to Pepe's

Loved this place!!!! We've been coming to Puerto Vallarta and have always heard about this place and their Taco el pastor, so this time we finally made it here and tried their famous el pastor... DELICIOUS!!!! The best El Pastor we've ever had, Service was really good too. Will definitely be coming back!

Excellent tacos, friendly staff. Get anything with pastor. Our group couldn't figure out why the thousands of Mexican trucks and restaurants in Southern California haven't figured out how to make tacos this good.

Simple, delicious, and simple the best. Stick with the Tacos al pastor. I've been eating them for about 10 years on 7 different trips and their tacos are always a highlight. Not fancy, nor good location (across from a gas station) or conveniently located (~ 4 blocks North of the Malecon's end). But open until 6 am! :-)

I think the tacos al pastor are great. It is a quick snack and a nice beer break from wandering the Malecon. The staff is great. The sevice is fast and attentive. And you can't beat the price. If they offer you a plate of roasted onions or queso take it... they are perfect compliments to the lunch. I make... More

We had been to Pepe's on a trip to P.V. many years ago and remembered being the best Tacos Al Pastor around. We've done some major tacos al pastore tastings in many different cities in Mexico and maybe the others have just gotten better. Pepe's was good, but not as good as I remembered them to be. The hubby ordered... More

Recommended years ago by a local resident- and we keep bringing friends and family here! In fact every taco we eat, we compare to Pepes. Begin your meal with bubbling hot queso fundido with chorizo and grilled cebollas/onions in soy sauce. Then try the tacos al pastor- rotisserie pork with pineapple roasted right there in the restaurant. Fantastic salsas to... More
