I moved to Norman in 1991 from California and opened the original pepes on campus corner. Emilio the owner now, worked for me. He is from the state of Oaxaca, Mexico where they have some of the best food in Mexico..We brought this food to Norman because there was nothing else like it at the time. Plus I’m a huge Sooner fan! If the food resembles tex Mex it’s because the customers want it..when we first opened we didn’t have sour cream..because that’s not mexican food but customers pitched a fit about it so we added it. Amelo explained to me some of his recipes are very old. A slave ship crashed off the coast of Oaxaca and the surviving slaves stayed there and blended there style of cooking with the natives of mexico. To make my point this is not tex Mex food.
This is a great place on Campus Corner in Norman. The food is fresh and the portions are ample. The food is not Tex-Mex (so if you are a fan, you may be disappointed) and they use cilantro in their dishes a little more than most places.I ordered the Loco Burrito with pork. It was about the size of a small football. It was stuffed with pork, rice, beans and cilantro. My wife ordered tacos, one pork and one beef. We also had the chips and salsa. Chips were fresh and crispy and you get a sample of four different types of salsa.You may pay a little more than a fast food Mexican restaurant, but you will get your moneys worth.
I’d say that people that are disappointed in this place most likely didn’t read the menu. No, it is not Tex-Mex. Fuzzy’s is right up the street if that’s what you want. Chips and salsa are separate, that’s just the way it is. But they’re only $2.75 and you get an assortment of salsas, so… Also, I haven’t had a bad meal here. There is sometimes a language barrier but that’s the way it is. If you want Tex-Mex, stay out.
The best Mexican food, in Oklahoma. A very special place. Jeff, the bartender, makes an amazing fresh lime margarita. It’s not Tex-mex. It is very fresh, very yummy, very amazing.
Not impressed at all. Most Mexican restaurants provide chips and salsa with your meal. Not here. You have to pay for them separately. I ordered beef tacos. They came not as ground beef, but fajita meat. No lettuce, cheese or tomatoes. Didn’t eat much of it. Came home and ate a sandwich.
Food is ok, not stupendous but ok. The Sunday brunch is ok also. Not an extremely friendly place but ok. This is a normal everyday restaurant with standard food but is a good change to have
Will return!. Has great fresh food with fresh ingredients. Authentic taste. GREAT staff! Our family had a wonderful experience and WILL return!
