I've been loyal to this Pepe's Tacos location for the past couple of months, and its never failed me. Pepe's has hands down BEST Carne Asada Fries in Vegas. I've tried many food trucks, restaurants, even Roberto's Tacos asada fries and none compare... even outside of Vegas.
The fries are thick, the asada is well marinated and flavorful, the avocado and sour cream are perfect, and there is plenty of cheese. I see a lot of complaints about the asada fries in the reviews, and it's absolutely mind boggling to me. Pepe's always has their carne asada cooked to perfection. If you expect more toppings, you aren't appreciating the star of the show: the meat. I'm very picky on my meat, but Pepe's knows exactly what they're doing. BTW- portions are MASSIVE for the fries!!! Expect to share OR have left overs.
Another go-to of mine is their pozole. I've been on a kick, craving the nostalgia of a bowl of pozole in the winter time. They've definitely exceeded my expectations. A "bowl" is probably 3 times larger than a "cup". The broth is fantastic and the meat is always SO tender. Also, I can never leave without an horchata. This location does refills! Only once or twice very late in the night has the horchata tasted watered-down to me.
I usually do take-out. During dinner time there is about a 10 min. wait on food, depending on the size of the order. Take-out soup comes with toppings bagged on the side. For my pozole I usually have to ask for lime. I believe you get 2 sauces at no extra cost with your meal. Their verde is SO good!
The food is incredible at Pepe's! Always hot and fresh, big portions (MONEYS WORTH FOR SURE!). The restaurant is clean, staff is welcoming, and FOOD IS BUSSIN'!
