Pepe’s in Hickory Hills has a daily buffet from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for about $12.99 per person and around $3.99 for a fountain drink. It really is one of the best deals around. The buffet is on the smaller side, but the selections are solid. They have taco bowls so you can build your own taco salad, plus corn and flour tortillas and hard shells. There are simple options like ground beef and some family friendly items, and their Mexican dishes, especially the guisadas, have great flavor. The steak and chicken fajitas use quality meat and are seasoned well.
Their chicken soup was excellent. I added a little rice from the buffet and a squeeze of lime and it hit the spot. They offer horchata as a drink option. Refills on that are not included, but fountain drink refills are.
They also have a small dessert and fruit section with fresh fruit, pudding, different salads, and delicious buñuelos. If you ask, they will even bring out chocolate dipping sauce for your strawberries.
The one thing I wish they had were labels or small descriptions by each item, maybe on the side or above the guard. It was the only part that slowed me down. The good thing is that their team members are quick to help and happy to explain anything you are unsure about, so there is still a very easy workaround.
The service was great, the restaurant was clean, and the buffet stayed stocked the whole time. The atmosphere was calm, and I was able to get what I needed without feeling rushed. I enjoyed it so much that I am taking my whole family back.
It is a smaller buffet, so keep that in mind, but for the price, it is an amazing value. If you are in Hickory Hills between 10 and 3, it is definitely worth checking out.

Per recommendation went to here for lunch with a friend. Love the decor ,Mexican theme and decor. Very clean and food fresh. Noticed the entrees were frequently restocked,and rotated. Our waiter was very nice and professional. I enjoyed my lunch and especially the chicken fajitas and refried beans. Different salsas,fresh lettuce,cheese,tomatoes and other condiments. Food was good. Recommend.

Better than my last visit to this restaurant. Could use a little more Ranchero sauce on carne asada. Also previous pepes I’ve been to had grilled whole onions, sour creme and avocado on platter.

My husband and I placed an order at 4:17 p.m. Tuesday late afternoon “To-Go”(the restaurant had one table of two people eatting their entree and the bar was occuppied),
we were heading back home to Michigan, traveling out of state…ordering two entrees to have for dinner: 1.) Steak taco dinner on flour tortillas – (due to “corn” allergy)
2.) Enchilada dinner on “flour” tortillas – due to corn allergy and a container of refried beans. The young lady who took the order was very nice, she had also asked me what type of taco shell..” corn or flour” which I specified “Flour” however she rang it up under the server “Edgar”. He came to the counter said ” an order of beans” and handed me the container of beans in a bag at the counter. I said to him ” we will just wait here – we ordered two dinners too”. He was very unpleasant…he had no clue as to what I was talking about…the young lady intervened and explained to him in Spanish what we had ordered two entrees; that was the ” To-Go” order being worked on. He went back toward the kitchen. A few minutes later he brought out the two entrees, bagged up in a plastic bag. I went to their empty table and attempted to check them. The enchiladas were covered in red sauce which was expected but I could not see the tortillas used… The other entree was the steak tacos…all 3 were wrapped up neatly – so I didn’t want to mess them up since we had over a 100 miles to drive before we were to get home and reheat the entrees and eat them, so I figured everything was fine. This meal cost us a little over $50.00 dollars….a simple to-go order.
To no avail, when we arrived at home, I attempted to plate the food to reheat it. Upon doing so, When I attempted to unwrap the tacos individually did I find everything on broken up corn tortilla shells. Again, we are allergic to “corn”….that’s why I specified “FLOUR” tortillas. So I tried to pick out and salvage any part of the meat , and cheese possible…what a disaster!!! The steak tacos were terrible, hardly any meat. .not alot to pick out ..and all fat and grizzle. There wasn’t any lettuce put on the tacos, but a hand full was put at the end of the enchiladas?! The tomatoes were poorly diced- more like a few chunks? The only good part of the food was the container of beans I ordered separately in addition to the entrees. So I called the restaurant to let them know that this was a huge mistake, as allergic reactions can be ‘fatal’. As I was explaining what happened to the man who answered, he decided to hang up on me?! WRONG MOVE !!! That was uncalled for..and untollerable! Food allergies should be taken seriously. Needless to say, the entrees ended up in the garbage.. It was “GARBAGE”-“SLOP”! This was the worse food we have ever purchased from Pepe’s and the last. We use to frequent this restaurant often in the past, as we had lived in the area. Every time we’ve come through Illinois we stop at Pepe’s to get food to take home, either the countryside location or Hickory Hills…whatever is more convenient at that time. Since Countrysides misfortune several months ago, they hadn’t been able to recover, so we chose to come back to Hickory Hills. What a mistake!!! This location has ‘some’ very unbelievably careless, incompetant, ignorant, uneducated employees! “NEVER AGAIN AT MY EXPENSE PHYSICALLY AS WELL AS FINANCIALLY!”

Out of all the pepe’s, this one was good. After several years the buffet is still worth it. The staff was nice and I would go back

WOW!! This is by far the best bang for your buck as far as a Mexican buffet .. and for only $12.99 a person! Not only did it have everything to make tacos, tostadas, rice, beans, pico, salsas, fruits , guacamole and all the toppings it also had tonz of appetizers!! Like onion rings, jalapeno poppers, fried mushrooms, cheese sticks, buffalo chicken wings!!! I only wish I could have eaten more! We will absolutely be back.

This location needs to close. The staff is so hateful toward me. I am aware they are nice to other people as evident by their other reviews, but they are so stupid and hateful towards me. They deliberately treat me with hate and they should just close if they want to treat me with so much hatred. I am respectful to them and they are the complete opposite to me.
