I’m from Maryland but my wife’s from grand forks MN and went up to visit family and she suggested I try this place. OMG I’d go there everyday if we had this around Maryland. The tacos were so simple but ooh so flavorful. Anyone that is around this area must go to the original red pepper.. my wife even made us bring home their white and red sauce 4oz containers . If you want some old taco bell prices but with much better than any Mexican restaurant tacos you must go there. You won’t regret it. I just wish I could of got their recipe to what’s in their taco meat.. So freaking good

The food here is a guilty pleasure. I love an everything grinder with extra sauce and the beef+bean hard shell tacos with all the toppings. The staff is always nice and get your food to you very fast. Also very affordable compared to other places in town. The taco shells are fried in peanut oil, which gives them a very unique savory sweet flavor. It’s also one of the few places in Grand Forks open very late.

Nothing beats hitting up one of the main Grand Forks hometown staples! Great location near downtown and university campus. Parking is along both sides of university; there isn’t a parking lot or set area for parking. The atmosphere is fun, energetic, definitely a college/high school vibe restaurant that is open late at night to accommodate the night life. Grinders, tacos, taco burgers, corn dogs, chicken tortilla soup, chips/sauce, cheese tostada’s to just name a few good choices! Make sure to bring a PERMANENT marker if you want to leave your mark ANYWHERE inside

If you are from the area…you know. If you are not from the area, you need to stop at the Pepper. I took a few people from Milwaukee, WI to this place about 10 years ago and they still talk about it! I’ve known the family since I was a kid and they are great people. Every time I visit GF this is a must stop before I leave. Much luv to ya!

The original Red Pepper in Grand Forks is the bomb! When you’re craving a taco, most people hit up the Red Pepper! It’s hard to describe, but even though the place is tiny, they have the best tacos in Grand Forks.

We did a pick up order last night (7/6/23) around 9:30. We arrived at 9:26pm. Our food wasn’t ready yet. The 2 girls working were very apologetic about the delay in making our order. It was no problem as we weren’t in a rush or anything. They whipped everything up 15-20 mins later, and we left. It was VERY busy in there too. The one gal was sweating her face off! The employees seemed very professional and polite which was very new to us as we’ve barely ever had good service anywhere in ND. The food was phenomenal and worth the wait! Thanks guys!

This is one of those hole in the wall college town places that was a must visit location from my wife’s past! For the price the food was good. Don’t know if I’ll ever be in the area again but if we were I’m sure we’d stop again.

Last time I was there was October 2011. My husband’s family enjoys this restaurant. I thought how cute it was the food was wonderful. I would love to have one in Illinois Moline QCA area.

Original Red Pepper gives off a college student hangout spot vibe. It’s casual and laid back. The food is cheap and great. What they lack in variety, they make up for in quality. They have Grinders, hard tacos, soft tacos, taco salad, regular salad, and chips with cheese. It’s a great spot if you are looking for great food and a cheap price. If you come here, bring a marker. They let you write on the bricks in the wall (I think. There’s lots of names on the walls here.)
