Pepes Taco
Taco restaurant
👍👍 Locals and tourists come to this place.
So good and affordable prices. The guac was unreal and so fresh, and I would def recommend the al pastor. All the food was great. Had a couple beers to wash it all down. Def a place to hit up if you want some authentic local food. Cash only.

Make sure you start off with a larg...
