Waited over an hour for our food. When the food came out it was super cold. We asked for the owner because his friends were here and said he was here. Twice a different individual came out and said he was the owner. The friend said it wasnt him. Finally the owner came out and refused to listen to our complaint. Called is liars because we all complained the food was cold. He said he could believe one thing was cold but not everything. He threatened to call the police on us. I told Eduardo, the owner, I was going to leave bad reviews and he said go ahead. I can not believe an owner of a restaurant would 1. Refuse to listen to his customer. 2. Not take any responsibility for the actions of his staff 3. Call his customers liars and 4. Threaten to call the police when his customer is unhappy. We were here as a favor to his friend to promote the restaurant. I hope he enjoys the promotion he is receiving. I am BEYOND disappointed in this places customer service, this will by my FIRST & LAST TIME ever coming here.

This little place has made its mark in Inland Empire nightlife. Saturday nights Club Skandal has become one of the hottest industrial/goth clubs in Southern California. Skandal and Pepitos even recently hosted an electronic/industrial/metal show as a stop on a national tour. Thursday nights new indie/electro club Revolution No.9 blew up almost instantly. Pepitos also hosted the cult favorite club Tech Noir, among other events and promotions. The bartenders are generally friendly, fast, and skilled. The bar is fully stocked, though a little more variety in its top shelf offerings would be nice. The restaurant portion is comfortable and atmospheric. The food is awesome! I consider the shredded chicken tacos legendary. If you want a perfect night out with a nice dose of cultural contrast, go have a nice dinner at Pepitos on a Saturday, and stick around for Skandal at 9:00 for a completely different (but friendly and inviting) experience.

El servicio de el dueño deja mucho que desear, el tipo es despota y prepotente, el lugar estava vacio y aun asi tenian mesas sucias y moscas dentro del lugar. Jamas recomendaria este citio, el tipo tiene que cambiar su actitud pues por la gente que come ahi el se pude mantener. :-(.

Never going again. Waited a long time for everything. The food was definitely not worth the wait. We asked ahead of time to have the check split but they forgot then said we should have asked ahead of time. Everyone we delt with regarding the check had a condescending tone. When we finally got the check they had already added the gratuity for a group of 6! And had the nerve to say they took off 50% of the gratuity for the trouble.

I havent been here in a long while, I have to say the service at lunch was great and the food was great too. The ceviche was so good....most places simply splash lemon juice on cold shrimp not here.... It was fantastic. Some people mentioned price...yes a tad high... But It was good I would say if they kept the quality and lowered the price is be here every week.

Food has always been A+, but the past few times i have gone there the smell is so horrible coworkers got up and left. It smells like an outhouse, a bad outhouse! i dont know how anyone can even breathe in there. Its really a Shame, they have some of the best food! It has been getting worse over time, i dont know why they do not fix it!

Best chicken tacos I have ever had! They have pretty good not my moms, but good rice and beans. Even all my other mexican friends like them, they agree, not their moms, but they are still pretty good. I am quite picky on my mexican food, and I love this place! Also pretty good Chili Rellenos. Highly recommended.

I rate this place 5stars. They were very patient with our orders, gave us exactly what we wanted, even after we made a mistaken order. Very clean, changed the table cloths after a large party left. That was very nice to see. I appreciate the cleanliness, and very nice and patient staff!!!

Ive been here 3 times, excellent food all three times, 2nd and 3rd times service was slower than the 1st but overall, Ill give them 4 stars...Oh and by the way, Im sure the owner can tell from a mile away the people that want to eat for free! Can you say, Cut, Copy and Paste?!?!?!

Very yummy Mexican food. Very thoughtfully decorated inside and in the patio. Super friendly staff is very accommodating of our 3- year old. She also loves the good. Great quick service during the middle of the weekdays. Good music and volume.

Ewe.....the food is terrible! The rice is greasy ...the beans are the powder kind, just add water...yuck! The Chile rellano tasted like it was fried in old burnt oil! The chips and salsa were the only things edible!

Great service, great tacos, amazing margaritas!!! A friend and I stopped by when the plaza was crowded, not knowing what to expect. Pep iris looks tiny but it is hidden treasure! Great find on a Friday night!

Exquisite food served over several various visits, excellent staff, warm traditional restaurant atmosphere with several private round-top booths, and the price is right at even with cocktails and desserts!

Got some food to go. It was a decent price for everything. What I expected to pay. The food tasted good. The menudo needed a bit more flavor in my opinion but its made fresh there. Chips and salsa is bomb.

Not really for the restaurant but for the pitiful goth bar they do here on Sat. They charge too much to get in, place is a dump, and on a good day, there will be around 50 people here... Garbage!

I love their chips and salsa. Had the steak tacos last time, great refried beens, yum. The staff is friendly and the service was great. The beer was cold and the prices were low. GREAT!
