I've eaten in numerous Mexican joints in AZ, NM and TX; Don Pepe's is near the top of the list as one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. If you are looking for margaritas, this is not the place, but they do serve beer and wine. Best restaurant in the area for the money.

This place was as close to authentic that you can get. We love Mexican food and have been to places in 5 different states and this was the absolute best. Thank God we picked Dunnellon to move too, now we will be there every day! They are amazing!

This is not fancy fare. Good service, fair prices and tasty dishes. The house specials are not to be missed.

Went for lunch on a Thursday afternoon, the restaurant was quite busy. The restaurant is in a little old house that was been repurposed. The salsa and chips were good. I had the lunch special #1 (the favorite) and it was good, a lot of food - enough for two meals. My mom had the quesadilla, she said it was... More

The ffood was just ok....large amounts but nothing to distinguish it from other just so so Mexican restaurants. The fried hamburger was greasy and seasonings ho-hum. The cheese was tasteless and used too liberally. Salsa was good. Chips were slightly stale. On the plus side, the waitress was attentive and friendly.
