I can’t say anything bad about Pepe’s! They’ve been around for a long time. I was about 10 years old or so when they first opened up in Waukegan on Lewis Avenue. Their food is better than a lot of the so-called authentic, ethnically owned, Mexican restaurants. Don’t let folks tell you any different, this place has good food and good drink. Many nights the owner stands by the door to greet customers, you can’t go wrong. And concerning a customer’s review on tacos being wrapped on a glass plate, if you get a good beef sandwich if you get a good Polish sausage if you get a good hotdog or a deli sandwich from a decent deli they are always usually wrapped. Even in Mexican restaurants many times they have paper around the tacos to keep all the accoutrements in place.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
