Pepo’s Restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is beyond amazing — packed with authentic flavor and cooked to perfection every single time. From the savory yellow rice and perfectly sweet plantains to their mouthwatering Cuban sandwiches and flavorful stuffed peppers, every bite feels like comfort food made with love.
The service here is just as impressive as the food. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly — they make you feel like family the moment you walk in. And the best part? The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and portions you get.
If you’re looking for delicious Cuban cuisine served with heart, Pepo’s is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Great place and great location. The best Cuban sandwich we’ve found so far. The breaded steak sandwich was so good and tasty. The ladies that served us were great and very attentive. We totally recommend this place.

Arrr, findin’ fine Cuban fare this far from the tropic seas be rarer than a mermaid’s kiss! This ain’t no port swarmed by landlubber tourists, nay—ye’ll have to chart a hidden course, for it lies off the beaten trade winds. But the good folk o’ Northdale be richer than kings to have such a treasure.
The vittles be as true as the old Havana breeze, the crew be kind and jolly, and the whole place be smoother than a calm tide at sunset. Aye, the vibe be chill, like sippin’ rum on a hammock ‘neath the stars.

I’m not sure what the hype is about this place. My food was sent back to the kitchen to be warmed up in the microwave because it was completely cold. The rice was hard, the black beans had no taste, the spare ribs in sauce were not the best. They are overpriced, needless to say that I will NOT be back
UPDATE
2 hours after we got home all four of us got sick

I had ordered a large quantity of food. I didn’t need to wait long for it. My husband and I have ordered meals a few times from Pepo’s. We’ve always been very satisfied.

AMAZING food!! So fresh and flavorful! Staff were so sweet to explain each dish. Pricing was good. I had the pork, yellow rice/plantains, hubby had Cuban Sandwich w/fries, and son had the chicken quarters /yellow rice. All was on point and yummy! Huge portions!

Finding good Cuban food this far north is a good thing. This is no tourist destination and it won’t be easy to find as it’s not on a major road, but the Northdale community is lucky to have them. The food is authentic, the service is friendly, and the vibe is chill.

Exceptional food and service at local Cuban restaurant. Possibly the best empanadas I have ever had. Catered a tournament at Tampa Bay Bridge Center and got absolute raves for the food. Generous and well seasoned amount for the price. Packaged well for easy transport. Only misstep was I placed my order on Tuesday for pickup on Saturday. When I called to confirm the order on Friday they created a second order! Felt extremely bad for the confusion.
Plan to order this again for our next tournament. Shared restaurant vinfo with numerous attendees at event. Hope it generates more business for lovely owners.

I can’t get enough of this place!! Want a full, hearty, home cooked meal?! Stop by and say hello to these awesome ladies who cook with their heart!
All the food I have ever had here is phenomenal!! (But I’ve never thought to order egg and bacon sandwiches I know their Cuban bread would be worth the price of admission!)
