*** NEW UPDATED REVIEW ***
My wife and I love having breakfast at Pepita’s outdoor patio and enjoy the owner’s hospitality and attention to detail. You always are made welcome by Chuy, the owner and his daughter Alejandra. The food has that special homemade taste just like my grandmother used to make including the flour tortillas that are included in our breakfast. We will certainly be back for breakfast and maybe lunch and try other items in their menu. Highly recommended.
*** OLDER REVIEW ***
My wife and I were in the mood to try a new to us restaurant for breakfast. We ended up in National City at Pepita’s Café. We placed an order to go of ham and eggs for me and huevos a la mexicana for my wife plus a couple of coffees. Service was excellent, fast and friendly and the food was delicious, we really enjoyed it. To go packaging was of good quality (didn’t end up on my lap while eating in the car). Can’t believe we drove by many times in the past and never noticed this excellent restaurant. We will be back when in the area.

Beautiful environment and active as well so nice to eat and watch everything happen and very delicate as in the owner pays attention to detail and how the food is served. It’s not even an expensive place to eat. The food taste so good. I can’t believe I didn’t come here before.

We have gone there for a while, the food is good but every time we get the bill its always more than what we kept track of. This last time we asked for an itemized receipt and we got the run around. Our bill as we kept track of the menu price would have been around $28.00. He gave us bill for almost $36.00. When we questioned it, his explanation didn’t make sense. We didn’t leave a tip since he gave himself a large tip. Wont go there anymore. If you eat there keep track of the prices and get an itemized bill.

First time eating here and definitely not the last. Started with tortilla chips topped with fresh refried beans. Like Fresh fresh. Couldn’t stop eating them. The salsa also was amazing. I forgot I had came for Menudo because the beans, chips and salsa were so good. The menudo was also delicious and came in a good portion with all the fixings on the side. The people are also very kind. It’s a great establishment and would highly recommend.

Most authentic and delicious Mexican restaurant hands down!
The refried beans are excellent & the service is really friendly. I have been coming here for years & my family for decades. The customers here aren’t loyal for no reason!
GREAT FOOD

Pepitas has the most delicious home style Mexican food. Their Mexican hot chocolate and huevos a la mexicana are the best in the west!!! Just love it. It is a small but very cozy and friendly place to have a good hot meal.

Just an absolute classic Ma and paw Mexican Cafe everything is made in-house from scratch the sauce I had with the role tacos one day and the huevos Rancheros on another oh, just great looking forward to getting back. The owner is kind gentleman and his main waitress and hostess daughter is very kind and special. Charming to say the least.
Thank you all will be back in this coming week I’m sure.
