Yelp.com Review - by Jennifer G.

4.0 of 5 stars. Very good spanish food. We had a party of 12 or so and they were very accomodating. We had clams in green sauce, arroz con pollo, paella, soups, steak, and the best pork chops ever. The pork...

Yelp.com Review - by TootTootTootsie G.

4.0 of 5 stars. This Spanish/Cuban restaurant has been here for 30 years and obviously is a big favorite with the locals. We ate here the night after Christmas, when most places probably were empty, but Tio Pepe had...

Yelp.com Review - by Brian C.

1.0 of 5 stars. Craptastic, that's this place in one made up word. The sangria was good and the service was great, which would make this place fantastic if I only wanted to have a drink and talk to the waiter. We...

Yelp.com Review - by Chris C.

3.0 of 5 stars. This place is "OK", but not fantastic. It's a bit overpriced and with a false attempt to try to pass as a fancier restaurant. Save your money and go to La Terra Sita or something similar.

A Fading Icon

For a couple decades Pepe's was the best of the best. But in the last few years the food and service have become little better than hit or miss. We used to frequent it for the house salad (the lettuce never...

dissapointing

We were eager to try this restaurant and made reservations for a Sat. night (not necessary, it was half empty). The server was inexperienced, did not have a good knowledge of the wine list and recommended a...

Great food and service, more expensive then we expected.

Tio Pepe has wonderful food, stone crab claws were excellent and the prime rib is the best I have ever had. Just so you know when you go to Tio Pepe be expecting at least $50 a head. The food and service is...

A great place for Bad Food and Poor Service!

Just went to Tio Pepe's this weekend for dinner. First, the rude hostess told us that we did not make a reservation, eventhough I pointed out our name on the dining list and the restaurant was almost empty....

4.0 of 5 stars. Spanish restaurant that's been an establishment in the area as far back as I can remember. The atmosphere is very lively and bustling but romantic. I am in love with their chicken and yellow rice...

Yelp.com Review - by Tu-Van L.

4.0 of 5 stars. A great Spanish date restaurant. The sangria was excellent and everything I had here was delicious. The reason this only gets four stars is the price. Be prepared to pay big if you go with a group...

One of the Best in Town by Kim S. at InsiderPages

Tio Pepe is one of my family's most favorite. A true landmark. A real Spanish restaurant. The service is great. The atmosphere is delightful. The food is marvelous. Prices are a little higher than average, but...

Not a Mexican restaurant

We thought this was a Mexican restaurant. We were surprised it was a Spanish restaurant. We didn't have reservations but got seated anyway. Our food was so delicious. I had the arroz con pollo, my husband had...

Not worth the time!

You wait for a table surrounded by tacky fixtures in a room that has not been updated this millenium. You wait at a table that was purchased at a garage sale for a bottle of wine that comes after your...

$20 for what?

Drove up on Thursday night at 730pm, no one in the parking lot. That should be your 1st clue. Food was bad and the sign on the jukebox summed it up, "I may look good but I'm old and dont work, so dont touch...

an AWFUL dining experience. Overpriced, supposedly upper class, and average food at best. The best advice I can give is if you are driving to Tio Pepe, keep going onto the Courtney Campbell and go to the...

Overpriced

Find the food and service not worth the price. The salad was warm. One of the dishes were very salty. The rice was hard (undercooked).
