Pepita's Cafe

"Food was fine (the beans are a highlight) but was what I feel was intentionally overcharged by $6 for my food due to being “new”. Be careful when you check out. They only take cash, probably for that reason"

"It is one of the best Mexican restaurants that I have ever been to. Savory made, try you will not regret."

"The best red menudo! Not spicy but full of flavor...just like home. They smother their tortilla chips with their beans!!! Delicious!"

"Great Food Chuy the owner/cook is Friendly. Good prices. Give it a try. Well worth it."

"*** NEW UPDATED REVIEW *** My wife and I love having breakfast at Pepita's outdoor patio and enjoy the owner's hospitality and attention to detail. You always are made welcome by Chuy, the owner and his daughter Alejandra. The food has that special homemade taste just like my grandmother used to make including the flour tortillas that are included in our breakfast. We will certainly be back for breakfast and maybe lunch and try other items in their menu. Highly recommended. *** OLDER REVIEW *** My wife and I were in the mood to try a new to us restaurant for breakfast. We ended up in National City at Pepita's Café. We placed an order to go of ham and eggs for me and huevos a la mexicana for my wife plus a couple of coffees. Service was excellent, fast and friendly and the food was delicious, we really enjoyed it. To go packaging was of good quality (didn't end up on my lap while eating in the car). Can't believe we drove by many times in the past and never noticed this excellent restaurant. We will be back when in the area."
