Reviews For Don Pepe's Rancho Mexican Grill

Fantastic. I showed up late to a meetup with family and had to quickly pick something off the menu. As such, I don't recall the exact name of the Pollo dish I got, but took a picture here. The food was absolutely delicious. I go through pounds of chicken each week and dread eating dry chicken when going out, yet the chicken was perfectly moist and extremely tasty. I intentionally saved some to get To-Go just so my wife could try some later. I also got to have some mixed fajitas from another family member and the chicken and steak were both great there as well. Both were juicy with good flavor - sometimes you have one done well and the other is overcooked, but again that wasn't the case here. If there was a detriment, I enjoy saltier chips but tbh I didn't eat many and didn't try the salsa, so that might've been fantastic as well. Regardless, I'm coming from 40 minutes away but am looking forward to eating here again.

Good Mexican food venue. We ate on the patio because it’s next to a playground. Our kids could play and we could see and access them from our seating area. Service was definitely better on our second visit.

My sister decided to have her daughter’s baptism lunch here and it was THE BEST decision she made. The service was incredible! Gaby was the sweetest and so efficient. She took care of 15 adults 3 toddlers all by herself. Pepe himself came to check on us multiple times throughout our meal. The best part hands down was the food. Every single dish was delicious and we left with happy bellies. We got Guac & queso to share, delicious margaritas, and fulfilling entrees. I had the Alambres Nortenos and my sister the Mexican Paella, both sooooooo good! We all agreed we are def coming back!

My recent Friday evening visit to Don Pepe's was a treat. After battling that Dallas rush hour, their Dulce Vida Margarita really hit the spot. It had a great balance – not too sweet, not too tart – a perfect way to unwind. And then there was the Paella. Seriously impressive. The flavors in the rice were so rich, and all the seafood and other ingredients were cooked just right. It was definitely a highlight of the meal. Don Pepe's is a solid spot for a relaxing evening. If you're looking for a good margarita to kick off the weekend, theirs is worth trying - maybe grab one to go for when you get home!

We've been here a few times for family birthdays. The queso was delicious and everyone finished that off quickly! I got the special - grilled chicken, veggies, shrimp and cheese. It was wonderful and so big that I was able to bring it home to eat for a few days! My family always recommends the Paella - they get it almost every time. Highly recommend!

Initially, the waiter wasn't suggesting good vegetarian dishes, but our experience took a positive turn when the manager stepped in. He suggested a few options, and we decided to try them. The cilantro rice is a must for vegetarians—it's absolutely delicious. The taco salad with grilled veggies was also great, and the variety of sauces available was a fantastic touch. Overall, thanks to the manager for the suggestions, we had a wonderful meal. If you're a vegetarian, make sure to get in touch with him for the best recommendations!

Delicious. Outstanding service. Great portions and prices. Expansive menu. Clean and fun atmosphere. Everything cooked perfect and great flavor. Best homemade flour tortillas I've ever had. We will be back.
