Pepper's Mexican - Gainesville

Today we had lunch and it was outstanding. Our Server: Daniel was very knowledgeable when it came to the menu and offered fantastic items that we ordered and enjoyed. We will return.

First time coming.. I came for my birthday dinner! It was so worth it. Amazing outstanding customer service and absolutely tasty food!!! I?m literally thinking about going back tomorrow for lunch lol. So serious!! btw: I ordered chimichanga that came with black beans or rice. And the drink was kind of like fruit punch lol. Order the Magritta my friends said they were so good.,but strong though)

I was trying to find something different place to experience during our date night and ran into Peppers. I thought I love Latin food and thought it was a no-brainer. Unfortunately, I walked in and had to speak loudly to the hostess because she could not hear me and I could not hear her. So I gave her my name, sat down and 15 minutes later we are called to our table. Where I am instantly given chips and salsa. Which gave me the indication that it was not fresh and I was right. Right bothered me because it was packed and the turn around to make fresh chips and salsa should have been easy. So to be given these not so crispy chips was not fun. We also received our food really quickly and I thought that cant be good. And I was right on that too. This restaurant had all the makings of a great Mexican restaurant but with all the trapping of a franchise. So it was really disappointing and I won't return again and will keep searching for a great authentic Mexican restaurant in the area.

The tamales were so good. I love the ratio of meat inside. The margaritas were on point and affordable. Lots of different flavors frozen or on ice. I went on a Saturday night and it was karaoke and and music and people was a great vibe. Service was great and fast. I will return. And the street corn was hot and fresh. So tasty. A must try.

This is by far one of the best Mexican places in Gainesville. Staff are super friendly each visit and always keep our drinks/water/margarita glasses full. The food comes out in record time and is always hot and delicious. Very large portions and fresh! Mango margarita on the rocks and the steak fajitas are a must try!
