Tio Pepe Restaurant & Bar

GREAT FOOD, A BIT PRICEY AND SERVICE WAS SLOW. The place was quaint and bustling. We had the sausage appetizer and I had the seafood stew. Delicious! The waitress was slow getting back to us for drinks and it felt like the dinner stalled at times. All said and done it's a good spot.

So happy for finding this place, if you’re looking for a great atmosphere, good sangria and amazing food you found it! Must try the ceviche mixto, the octopus here is so tender. Other options are the mixed seafood plates, unfortunately we haven’t had great meet options. The Brazilian steak is good but easy to over cook

If your looking for portuguese cuisine this is the best place in Philadelphia at the moment. The service up stairs in the dining room is great but down stairs at the bar tables can take a while if they are short staffed (lunch) BUT… The food is AWESOME! If you looking for a dish that bursts with flavor on every bite get the Frango a Pasarinho and add their homemade piri piri sauce with a side of yellow rice and french fries! I could eat this everyday!

Tío Pepe has been our #1 Restaurant We been going here for 4 years special occasions or just because but tonight we experience the must TOP KNOTCH customer service when I say top notch top notch top level the server Joanne was amazing. It’s amazing from the start from everything that we order she enhanced she suggested she did amazing thank you Pepe thank you Joanne for making my birthday exceptional one.

A delightful experience! The servers were friendly and attentive, our meal was fresh and delicious, and the presentation of each dish was beautiful. We had the shrimp in garlic sauce as an appetizer and shared the seafood paella, followed by mousse for dessert. We’ll definitely return!

Came in to check out the place and food. Got good service but I can say less for the food. Even though in the pictures looked good, the taste wasn’t that great. The appetizer was definitely frozen and not fresh shrimp and over cooked. As for the Paella , the rice was too salty, the mussels and shrimp and the scallops again were over cooked as for the lobster ( for those that do t know, if you see green inside, don’t eat that! It has been cooked prior and warmed up in hot water(cooked again), that’s how you get food poisoning. I had that in the lobster but I removed it before I could eat what ever was left from that lobster. The meat in that dish was not even seasoned, just salté and that was it. No glamour besides salty . The staff was nice and caring but the food was just not to Portuguese standards that usually is held up to. I won’t be taking any friends or family here, waste of my money and time.

Can’t begin to explain how excellent everything was. First time here at Tio Pepe, and I’m blown away. Between the food and the service, everything was top notch.

Great Food, quality service, nice place to take your family or colleagues. The staff was very helpful and very friendly. The food was great the paella was well seasoned and very flavorful. All the dishes came in big portions but the food was good the next day too.

The food and service at this place are always impeccable, truly one of the best Iberian restaurants in the area if you want true authentic Portuguese/Spanish food. My sis and I absolutely love their chourico, as well as the Picanha and Bolos de Bacalhau. I highly recommend that you try this restaurant, you will not be disappointed. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and make you feel at home. This is a very special place even though it may not be in the best area it's a complete hidden gem. - Critical Hoe

Just right in every way that matters. Our visit to this restaurant was remarkable! The food stands out for freshness, taste, and variety. The staff member's positive attitude truly improved my experience. I endorsed this good spot to many.

The Food was off the charts...Paella....Zuella...Salmon...and the Flan was to die for.Service was great and people were extremely nice...get the Sangria too...

Amazing place! Wonderful little restaurant with unbelievable cuisine and fantastic service! It's a small place, so the ambiance is quaint, and you should make reservations. By all means, try the Paella! You'll wonder why you've never eaten it before!

I feel like I need to try this place one more time. My wife and I came here one night and sat at the bar. We didn't realize the restaurant was in the upstairs of the building (figured the pictures were out of date maybe). Everything was fine, we got one of the paella dishes to share which was ok. Unfortunately it had some veggies in it that were still frozen and seemed like it just needed something. The bar wasn't really our vibe and there was a bit of a language barrier, maybe we will give the upstairs a shot and hopefully that will be better

I read over other yelper's reviews for this place and saw a few detractors. I read on through mostly glowing reviews and decided the nay-sayers don't know what they are talking about. So I brought my wife here for a low-key anniversary dinner, and I was so right. We honeymooned in Lisbon last year, and Tio Pepe's food took us right back to that city of terrific food. Those who rated Tio Pepe's poorly are probably not familiar with Portuguese food --for example, one yelper who appears to hold Red Lobster in high regard. The atmosphere is the only critique I have: it's kind of a big box, and didn't feel cozy or particularly elegant. Everything else was fantastic. The food, sangria, and wine were all top shelf. We'll be back soon! Ps- don't be thrown off if you have to go all the way through to the back of the first floor bar on the way to the restaurant.

Tip: the restaurant is actually on the second floor and the bar is on the first floor. There is only street parking. We came here on a Friday night for take out. I had called a head of time and they had told me that it would take around 45 mins. We had ordered the salada de polvo (Octopus in a vinaigrette sauce), Ameijoas a bolhao pato (Clams sauteed in a garlic white wine sauce), Linguini a Pescador (New Zealand mussels and clams in, shrimp and half lobster in a zesty red or white sauce), Pargo Grelhado (Grilled red snapper in a butter lemon sauce) and Paelha Valenciana. The food came out promptly and the staff was nice. But I really wish that they had given us a box to hold the food as it was extremely hot and are hands were burned holding it from the restaurant to the car. As for the food, my favorites were the Pargo Grelhado and the clams in white wine sauce. The fish was very well seasoned and it came with two sides of your choice. I got the plantains and the boiled potatoes. I loved every bit of this dish! The clams in white wine sauce was also good! They were a good size and it was very flavorful. My least favorite was probably the linguine and the octopus. I hated the taste of the white sauce and the pasta was way over cooked. The paeha was a big disappointment. Although the taste was okay, the rice was very soggy and there was still water on the rice. The pros are that they did give us nice containers to hold the food, the portions are decent and the seafood tasted fresh.

Don't judge this place based on the outside. Depending on where you enter, it can seem a little off putting because of the bar and hookahs. But the restaurant is upstairs and gives off a mom and pop type of vibe. Service wasn't anything to complain about but wasn't amazing either. If I needed anything, they were around to grab. The food is delicious. I wouldn't get the steak with the egg. The egg was over cooked but the flavor was there. My husband got some seafood dish and he enjoyed it. I would recommend the shrimp in zesty sauce, it was amazing, just make sure you get bread for the left over sauce. Also, order a strawberry margarita, you can tell theirs tequila but it isn't overpowering. I also got the sangria based off the review, and it didn't disappoint, but just not my taste. Gave it 4 stars because there is no drink menu, the restaurant decor was just ehh, and it's just street parking.

Best Portuguese food outside of portugal. They have the best grill octopus. Always fresh.

One or the best paellas I ever had. Service is a bit long but worth the wait. Really enjoyed

Every time I go here the food is always good and hot and fresh. The drinks aren't bad and there's always music playing.

After Literally Searching High and Low for a true Portuguese Restaurant in the South NJ/Philly area, I thankfully stumbled upon..Tio Pepe! Recently Moved to South NJ, originally North NJ very close to Newark, Ironbound of which we've frequented my entire life at numerous quality Portuguese Restaurants, once moved to South Nj, I was on a mission to find a quality Portuguese Restaurant! Thank God for Tio Pepe! A true and authentic Portuguese Establishment, Food Quality is 100% On Point, Huge Portions, Very Tasty Sangria, had the Octopus for an Appetizer, did not disappoint, Paelha Valencia shown in pics was plentiful, delicious, cooked to absolute perfection! Servers were very attentive and helpful. Slight language barrier of course but Im used to their accent and can understand them. Full Bar downstairs, Restaurant on 2nd Floor. Very clean including their Rest Rooms. Decor was very plain and basic Id say, but like my Father always told me, you cant eat the decor! Were here for the food! Parking well, hey, its Philly, just like Ironbound, good luck with that! Must of been my lucky day, found a spot front row! 2 Thumbs Up!

Yum yum yum! Order the sangria, have the Bronzino and enjoy!! The outside leaves little to be desired but the food is worth it.

Tio Pepe is a restaurant(upper level) and a bar(first floor) on the corner of Castor Avenue and Fanshawe Street. I want to try something different than our usual spot, and found TP. The photos alone got me so excited. When we arrived at the beginning of the dinner hour, there were only few patrons so we were seated immediately. I love the setting of this restaurant, it is brightly decorated. The servers brung out bread, butter, and blackberries. I also order their very famous Sangria. Sincerely speaking, everytime I've Sangria elsewhere, it is sweet and fruity. But TP's Sangria is more alcoholic, I felt tipsy after one glass. We also started with Rissois De Camarao(fried shrimp cake), Creme De Marisco (seafood bisque), and Salada De Polvo (octopus in vinaigrette). Fried Shrimp Cake was fried to perfection, crunchy exterior and soft interior. Seafood Bisque taste good but it only have 2-3 pieces of shrimp, bread crumbs, and cilantro, don't know why is call seafood. Octopus in vinaigrette is very flavorful. Entrees were disappointing. We order the Paelha A Marinheira and Lagosta Grelhada Ou Recheda(Stuffed). The presentation for both of the entrees look awesome but LACK TASTE. I thought it was just me at first, but hubby says the same thing. The Paelha A Marinheira have no flavor whatsoever, and hubby says he felt like is goya rice( which he rather cook at home). I added some hot sauce for flavor since is so damn plain. Lagosta Grelhada Ou Recheda(stuffed lobster) looks huge, don't it? I was like wow at first glance. Took a bite, again no flavor. Trying to dip it in their melted butter for a buttery taste, that darn butter is water down. I also order desserts. I got Flan, baby got Cookies and Cream, and hubby declined the sweets. Flan was ok, it was a bit too sweet for me. My lo cookies and cream is cookie crumbs with cream. Neither of us finish our dessert. Give it a 2 stars bc I love their setting. The lamps on the floor were too cute. I did enjoy their appetizers and the complimentary bread. Unfortunately, this is our first and last time. Our bill was around $180, I think I rather spend that at Red Lobster next time:)

Food was very good! Nothing was spectacular but good and enjoyable. Sangria was amazing! I still want more of it after I got home. The flaming sausage was tasty with smokey bbq flavor. The shrimp turnovers was fried perfectly. The inside was creamy but a little too sticky for my taste. Flavor wise it was very good packed with little shrimps. Seafood paella Valencia was very tasty and packed with flavor. Some reviewers said it was bland but mine was closer on the salty side. The bitoque steak and egg was pretty good.

Great pasta. Decent ambiance. Good service. In north Philly close to Frankford Ave and Cottman Ave

What a surprise. I never would have try it-but, glad we did! We were there with a party of about 8. We order appetizers and sangria. D E L I C I O U S!! The octopus and garlic shrimp were fantastic!! I wasn't overly impressed with my steak-but, by then I was so full from the sangria and appetizers, it didn't matter. We also got sausage grilled at the table. Everyone enjoyed that too (I didn't have any.). Service was a bit slow. Normally, wouldn't have mattered, however, we did have some folks that needed to head out early. We enjoyed our time. The side door is the best way in and out.

I've been here a few times but my last time will be the last time. Each time I visit, I am never greeted by the bartender's. On a slow day, it takes so long for them to even notice you because they are either too busy flirting, chatting with co workers, or in their phones. Don't bother to ask for who's in charge to complain because the owner often time be right along with the bartenders not paying the paying customers any mind! When they do finally get to you, it's almost like you're bothering them. Even though the bartenders are terrible at making you feel noticed or welcomed, whoever works in the kitchen is fantastic!! Each time I ever had a meal here, it was properly prepared and very tasty. I appreciate the chef! Far as ambiance goes, I guess it's ok. Not exactly sure what kind of bar or cuisine Tio PePe is considered but, being African American, I'd suggest they consider a wider variety of music choices.

Absolutely horrendous experience at this Restaurant. The food was cold, the service was slow, and the staff were rude. Save your money and go somewhere else!

I love this place. I've eaten in the restaurant & have purchased food to go. Great experiences either way. The service is great & so is their food. Its full of flavor & it never disappoints. If you live in the area & haven't eaten here yet I don't know what you're waiting for!

Loud bar in the downstairs part of the building. Second floor had a nice quiet restaurant vibe. Much slower pace upstairs! The server was prompt and very nice. The menu had great choices. It was very diverse but not over the top or confusing. My cousin and I split a seafood Paelha which included lobster, clams, mussels, shrimp, sea scallops served with saffron rice and green peas. The food came out gorgeous. Almost too pretty to eat. Unfortunately the dish lacked spice. The rice was very bland and overall the dish was very buttery. The seafood was fresh and portion wise it was almost too much food for two people. We were stuffed! The price was $28 so for two people the meal was well worth it. I would definitely return to try other menu items but my heart belongs to another local eatery for paella.

I had a steak that was so tough, I could not even cut it! The service was okay. Sangria was good, as was the rest of the food, mostly. Large portions. Wierd decor with faux flowers. Parking was difficult. Not for me. Thus, meh.... Unlikely to return.

This is the type of philly restaurant that reminds me of my childhood. The upstairs restaurant is a quiet place, with delicious food options, and friendly service. We started with the Portuguese sausage, which was gigantic and very good. They bring it out and light it on fire at the table. It was so much meat, and I was happy to add it to some of my seafood later in the meal. We also had a seafood salad and the Zarzuela. The seafood was fantastic, and the tomato brandy sauce that the Zarzuela came in was very tasty. This was my first time trying green wine, which I did not know was a Portuguese thing. I was glad that they had a half bottle available that we could try without fully committing to a bottle. It was nice, perhaps better suited for the summer. I'll be trying it again. Service was friendly and helpful.

Amazing Paelha!! Great taste and color, and a incredible service fast and attentive. Highly recommended

The Culinary Adventures of Tom Coghlan- FB My friend Dana and I both like to explore "out of the box!" So, when I told Dana about The Museum of Illusion, Dana asked me if I wanted to try a Portuguese Restaurant that she had found... For me, it was a no-brainer! The Museum of Illusion was very interesting, and we both marveled at the exhibits. It was fun! Tio Pepe at 6618 Castor Avenue is where we decided to get a bite... Dana sent me the menu ahead of time and it looked interesting to us both! The two of us had an idea of what we would order, but that all went out of the window after our arrival. We arrived at about 2 pm and secured two seats at the bar, where we met our servers, Hosanna and Jane who brought me a Stella and an Iced Tea for Dana. We enjoyed a bowl of Black Olives, as we surveyed the menu. We decided to share The Octopus Salad and a special they were offering that day, Stuffed Calamari! Stuffed Calamari??? We never saw or heard of this dish before! We HAD to order it! The Octopus was served first and was grilled to perfection. It was served with both Red and Green Sweet Peppers with Onions in a Vinaigrette Sauce! It was loaded with Octopus and the Pepper and Onion Medley complimented it well! YUM!!! Then... The Stuffed Calamari! Stuffed Calamari??? We never saw or heard of this dish before! We HAD to order it! The Calamari was cut into about 2 1/2" lengths and stuffed with Chorizo Sausage, spices and Rice. I have never experienced anything like it! A light Tomato Sauce, Fresh Broccoli, Carrots and Potatoes accompanied the Calamari. The Calamari was tender and flavorful as was the sausage and rice mixture used to stuffed it! We both agreed, It was both AMAZING and Unique. The French Fries were great too! As we were enjoying our meal, The Owner, Orlando, greeted us, and after I told him where I was from, we found that we both knew some of the same people, as he lived in South Philly a while back, and still had family there. There was sooo much more on the menu that we both wanted to try. I could see another visit here in our future! http://www.tiopeperestaurantbar.com/

Food is wonderful! Kitchen is clean! The people there are very nice and pleasant! We always enjoy eating there.

My family and I visited this restaurant on the evening of March 11 for my daughter's birthday. Although we entered through the bar entrance and were confused on where the restaurant area was, we had an absolute amazing experience. Our waitress was attentive and very caring. She even sang happy birthday to my daughter. I loved how she was knowledgeable on the food menu and wine. The food was amazing!! Seriously! I had the grilled cod fish with rice and beans. My children had the arroz con mariscos and shrimp spaghetti. My husband had the steak and egg. Food portions are enough for 2 people. The appetizers, calamari and fried shrimp were great as well. The food tasted homemade. It was very lovely. The atmosphere can be conducive for a family or romantic evening. Overall, for a family of 5, we paid $220 (includes 18% gratuity). I am most definitely coming again, except without the kids!

Got take out last night and food was excellent. Ordered paella and calamari to which both were incredible. Tried calling the number listed on Yelp and I think it was for the bar part because no one picked up so I could ask about reservations. Call ahead for reservations because it gets packed. Also, look for the entrance on the side street because i walked into the one by Castor and heads were turning since I looked like I didn't fit in because that's bar part with reggaeton playing.

Great food!! We had the octopus ceviche and the Paella. Great service as well!! Sangria a must try.

Here's a before and after picture Lol let's just say that plate was AMAZING. I highly recommend that you come here, the people are extremely friendly, the drinks are solid not like other places that are watered down.

My boyfriend and I decided to try a new spot for seafood paella and we were very happy with it. The rice was very flavorful and moist. I wasn't a fan of the scallops, tasted a little too salty for my preference and fishy. For appetizers we got the shrimp if spicy garlic sauce which was good, maybe the shrimp were over cooked a little? As well as the fried calamari which I was not a fan of. The sangria was delicious. The service was good and our waiter was friendly

This food is really good and affordable. Pic is there paella , I forgot to take a pic of the chicken wrap but the chick was amazing. I really enjoyed my night.

The portion size is crazy!! Everything is seasoned well and the staff are very courteous and friendly!

Downstairs is a bar - so if you are here for a meal, head up the narrow staircase located in the back of the bar. Upstairs was decorated homely and festive for the holiday season. They have a menu with plenty of options, and service was always ever so polite. My friend and I ordered the seafood paella ($28) and it was more than enough for the two of us, and could have easily fed three. They also had lots of suggestions for us when we asked (though we just stuck to the one paella since it was so big) They bring out bread and butter and a plate of olives, too. Nice variety to have in the philly area!

Loved the paella.. absolutely delicious! Great spot for great food in the northeast .

Oh, man, the Sangria! I wanted seafood, and my family's usual go-to place has gone out of business, which we were saddened to realize that their great meals were gone forever. After a search for seafood, and trying to avoid the chains, I surprisingly convinced my wife to come to Tio Pepe. Made a call just before 7pm Saturday to see if they could take us at 7:30pm and there was no problem! Made the reservation, got the kids together, and made the short drive to stay within NE Philly. After finding some street parking, came to the "side" door with some very loud thumping music and TVs blaring. This is the bar. We wanted the upstairs restaurant which is quite nicely set up and holds about 30 or so. One of the tables was marked Reserved for us. My son made mention that everything was in Spanish and I had agreed, but we were quickly corrected that this was a Portuguese restaurant, and this is how everything was stated in their menu. I wanted a drink, and the waitress convinced me to try a Portuguese beer which I had never tried before. The Sagres was a great lager. But there was something even better coming. While chowing down on our appetizer of Lulas Fritas (Fried Calamari) and two Creme De Mariscos (Seafood Bisque Soup), I happened to notice that many other tables were having a pitcher of Sangria placed before them. My wife was saying "Yes, I want that," with her eyes, and I asked for one to the table. We both loved it! Filled with fruits of apples and oranges, this sweet drink just made the whole night. The waitress commented that they have the best in the State. I don't know how they got this distinction, but it is well deserved even if it's not true. The person in charge said he had been making numerous changes over time to the recipe to get it just right and a lot of customers love it. You can count us as part of the believers. As far as our food, the calamari was crunchy and the spicy marinara sauce was not too hot. The soups were just ok as my daughter and wife thought they had too much cilantro in them. Daughter had Salmao Grelhado (Grilled Salmon in Butter Lemon Sauce) and the piece of salmon was large and well cooked. She had a side of vegetables which were quickly eaten along with saffron rice which was not and also a large portion. Son had Frango A Marsala (Chicken Breast Sauteed with Mushrooms in our Marsala Sauce). He asked for a side salad which was not eaten unfortunately because he did not like the homemade vinaigrette on it and also french fries (this is a weird combo, but he was happy with it.) He ate a lot of fries and some of the chicken, and liked what he had. My wife had a Filet Mignon (which is the same in English!) She got it just how she asked for it, and was happy with the dish. She had the salad and vegetables and liked them, too. I had the Paehla Valenciana (Combination of Lobster, Clams, Mussels, Shrimp, and Scallops Served in our Saffron Rice). This was the plate of the night. A huge portion the size of a 33RMP record or larger with everything in the menu and the taste was great. We were told we would not finish it, and we didn't, leaving some for breakfast and lunch the next day. Overall, very very pleased with Tio Pepe. I'm not 100% that I'd bring the family back (or younger children), but absolutely bring the wife for a pitcher of Sangria and to share some of that awesome Paehla. The heated rolls were also pretty awesome. Service was very attentive and accommodating. $147 for four not including tip.

Excellent restaurant. A gem on the 2nd floor of a corner building in Northeast Philadelphia. The wait staff is professional, and polite. The food is simply delicious and authentic. I had the Paelha Valenciana and it was better than some of the paella I had in Spain! Highly recommended. The prices may look high but the dishes serve multiple people so it is well worth the money. As an example, for my dish, it was $32 but it could have fed 4-5 people easily. I suggest coming with your friends and ordering 3-4 different dishes. You won't go home hungry and you will certainly want to come back soon!

A friend of mine suggested this restaurant/bar because they had good food. It primarily serves Portuguese cuisines so the menu is in Portuguese with English description right under it. The restaurant operates on the second floor with the first floor being a full bar. Bartenders are great, knowledgeable and friendly, especially Mel who was essential in suggesting a couple food items. I opted to order from the bar because I was already having a beer there. My first order was a plate of wings were that were amazing ! I have since ordered the wings multiple times there. I also ordered the grelhada steak, amazing and full of flavor. It came with rice and a side of beans. The beans didn't really have much flavor , which Prompted me to season it with salt to make it better. Alas, the salt was precisely what was needed. I hope to come back and try some more plates because this place is truly promising.

First time here, the food was great! We went when it was very busy, so service was a bit slow, but I can't fault them for that. The restaurant is tucked away in the northeast and situated above a bar that plays nothing but house music. So, you may not have a totally quiet dining experience. The only other downside was lack of parking, but, again, not their fault. I'd recommend making a reservation since the space is small.

This was the greatest bar I ever been to all the girls were amazing Anna Stephanie and especially Paulina she is soooooo beautiful with an amazing personality and I will be back again as often as possible. Definitely come here for a great time make sure you bring your appetite!

Have a good time here with a few coworkers, the place was family style seating an very comfortable so much that we were there at least 3 hours and we had the best Pitcher of Sangria (yum) it was so flavorful. I ordered the seafood bisque which was smooth an delicious. I also ordered the stuffed crabmeat salmon with fried plantains. I salmon was slightly over cooked an stuff with a seafood flavored stuffing. I did expect to see crabmeat but the stuffing was good also. The girls ordered the grilled calamari an another ordered lamb chops which looked amazing. They ordered clams as well an the butter garlic broth in the clams was good for dipping your bread.

I've been here a few times I go every year for my wedding anniversary. They have the best paella I've ever had. The homemade sangria is delicious too.

There is nothing that we have eaten there that we have not enjoyed. Well seasoned, authentic, and generous portions. We love the chorizo. We take all of our out of town there for dinner.

OK this place is awesome in every way possible!!!. The Paelha was insanely delicious and the perfect size!!! it has all the flavor of the seafood's including clams, mussels, shrimp and half a lobster with chicken and pork. The whole thing just hummed with flavor!!! We did start with the Octopus which was incredible as well. Deserts were great, very tasty flan and a perfect espresso !!! Not many places do espresso properly and Tio Pepe has it to an art!!! I should add that they make the best Sangria that I ever had, loads of fresh fruit blended with some kick ass wine for a refreshing jolt. I ordered a glass of Bagazo with the espresso which complements each other really well if you like a nice high powered drink after dinner. The restaurant was also filled with Portuguese families which was cool and added to the warmth of the restaurant, and the staff were ultra friendly. Tio Pepe wins in every aspect as far as I am concerned. This place should be on everyone list to try!!!

Our first time here and we ordered paella, shrimp & garlic sauce and chicken in garlic sauce with rice and potatoes. Ordered takeout and everything was delicious! Just wish there was more scallops - it's been noted here before that the portion is huge so if you're sharing more scallops would be nice. Also, that wonderful bread? We didn't get any so the luscious sauce wasn't soaked up properly. Worth a second trip!

My husband and I visited Tio Pepe (TP) for my birthday dinner. The restaurant is around the corner from the bar. It opens up in a whole new world with linens, heavy silverware, street lamps, and ceramic art decor. It's was beautifully quaint. On to the food, the octopus salad and calamari as appetizers. I try calamari everywhere I go, this is the 3rd best. The octopus salad was like no other I have ever had. It was tender and flavorful. If you've had octopus salad before you know it can end up like small rubber discs but not at TP. Our main entrees were zarzuela and paella. The paella (incorrect spelling sorry) was enough to feed 3 adults large portions or 4 adults regular portions. The seafood was fresh and not over cooked. The flavors were excellent. The zarzuela, oh that broth. I could go on for hours but I won't. We had the chocolate mousse and my daughter called the restaurant (she is away at college) ordered a dessert and asked them to say happy birthday to me. Epic! The staff were wonderful and the other patrons seemed to really enjoy themselves as well. Go to Tio Pepe you will not be disappointed. Oh and don't forget to get the Portuguese soda.

Muito bon! Afternoon lunch, just two other tables occupied. Pleasant. Upstairs dining with cloth napkins, table cloths, flowers and efficient excellent service. The paella seasoning was flavorful, beautifully plated and cooked to order. My friend devoured his salmon salad. Both portions HUGE, excellent value.

first time here but not the last, the food is fresh and delicious the waitresses very friendly the cook 5 stars all very good thank you

Great vibe!!! Good food!!! Paella is great!!! Pork chop!!!!!!!!! Seafood is amazing!!!
