I've been eating there for 2 years. The food was awesome, the service was fantastic, and staff was great. It was my favorite restaurant. Till last night. The waitress was not the brightest, and not very attentive at all. The chips were stale.The food had no flavor and was not worth what they charge. When my wife told her that her order was wrong, her response was I didn't make it I just brought it to you, I don't know you expect me to about it. (We didn't leave her a tip) after talking to the manager they replaced her order and still didn't get it right. We noticed that we didn't see the usual staff.and we will ever go back.
Been going there for a long time and it's been awesome. Went there last month for my husband's birthday on April 16th. There was all the same faces and great food. Went there for my birthday last night and they had a whole new crew including kitchen manager. We got served stale chips and the waitress wasn't bright at all. We placed our order and he didn't get all of his order and asked her if she noticed what's missing and she looked confused. He didn't receive his tortilla shells. Mine was completely wrong and when I told her this she replied that she didn't bring me my food. After trying to explain it to a female Forrest Gump there I asked to speak to the manager. She comes back to the table and asked if I wanted it replaced and said yes. That was the last time I saw her. A guy brought me a new dish and didn't say a word and left. Another guy ran over there and threw our bill down and ran off. The food had no taste, the waitress was dumb, chips were stale, and had another waitress glare at us from another table. Recommend that you don't waste your time or money on this horriffic establishment.
The first few times we came here, the food was really good. Everything was seasoned well and the meat was cooked perfectly. The last several times have been poor. Our server this evening was sweet. They were serving very stale chips. I got a Señor Burrito which arrrived ice cold. The first bite tasted like rancid beans with lettuce. I started pulling the filling out and discovered that it was a lettuce burrito (that explains why it was cold) . I informed the manager who was supervising our server and he said, “oh well” and still charged us for a meal that went uneaten. We will never return nor recommend. Terrible food and terrible service from management.
It's a little pricey but it's definitely worth going to. Food was absolutely amazing. Probably the best cheese dip in my life; a hint of pepper flavor without pepper chunks. The tortillas on the chimichangas were perfect. They serve the side salad in a tortilla bowl, my husband loved it. And the service was just exceptional. I'm excited to come back and try more of the menu.Pic: I got a regular chicken chimichanga, hubby got a fajita chimichanga
The best Mexican food in Birmingham. Highly recommend!
Stay with a good place to eat fair price people were friendly pretty and clean food was good salsa salsa with the chips was so so could use a little bit of improvement but everything else was good
Driving through and found this restaurant online. So glad we did. Food was excellent, service great and clean place. Would definitely go here again.
We’ve been here dozens of times with friends and family throughout the year. Food and service has always been top notch. Not today, there were 4 of us. The waiter was rude and had a terrible attitude. Brought us a miniature bowl of Salsa and chips. We asked for another bowl of Salsa for the 4 of us. Waiter said “you finish that one THEN I'll bring you another”. WHAT! I understand we all have one of those days, but NO MORE. If a bowl of Salsa is going to break the bank, sell the business to someone that will take care of the customer. Without customers you have no business model of any kind. We left there and went to another Mexican restaurant, without asking, we were brought (see photo) 2 large bowls of Salsa and a basket of chips. Service and food were incredible; maybe they could teach Don Pepe’s staff the correct people skills. So long Don Pepe’s, good luck for 2022.
Inside decor is very nice...as if u are in a mexican village. Friendly staff, and good food for a price. Best part of their menu is that theh have a mexican section with authentic dishes that you will not find at your regular texmex or syanfard mexican resturants here. Very nice bar area and their drinks menu is fantastic. Truely a hidden gem on 280.
Went during lunch and ordered a chicken quesadilla off the lunch menu. Price was 8 dollars. I asked the server for peppers and onions also expecting maybe a Buck or two up charge. Folks that was a 19 dollar chicken quesadilla when I received the bill.
