Pep's Mexican Steakhouse - Portland

If I could rate this place even higher, I absolutely would. The food completely blew me away during my first visit. While it’s a bit pricey, it’s worth every penny—10,000%! The portion sizes are generous, and I can't even begin to describe how delicious everything was. Cooking lamb can be tricky, but they nailed it. As a former cook myself, I'm truly impressed by the quality of the dishes. The staff was equally outstanding; our waitress, Amanda C., was fantastic and incredibly attentive. The drinks arrived quickly and were just as tasty. This has quickly become my new favorite spot in town. I highly recommend you come and try it! Even with our relatively inexpensive meals, two kids, and a few drinks, our total bill was just over $150 before the tip for four people.

I visited Pep's for the first time on October 7, 2022, and I was truly impressed by the outstanding service and delicious food and drinks. I enjoyed the rack of lamb with grilled vegetables, along with a Michelangelo and a Landshark michelada. My server, Kaylon, was incredibly quick and professional. I highly recommend stopping by and trying something from the menu!

The food was quite pricey, but the portion sizes were generous. The staff were friendly, and everything we tried was delicious.

The Red Snapper was so good. Fish was perfectly cooked. It comes in a cool bowl that has the fish up and under the fish in a special sauce, spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, asparagus and potatoes. It was so good and expensive right. Our waiter Nate was very nice, on request and very professional. Great experience! I'm sorry I ate most fish before I took the picture, but it'll show you the works.

Food was really good. Only problem was service. Looked like they were hosting a party. I waited at the hostess station for 20 minutes before getting checked in. The waitress while friendly, was preoccupied and I had to ask for a refill and ticket. Looked like they were having all servers attend their tables and the party. I ordered the Texas enchiladas. Carne Guisada stuffed enchiladas topped with queso. The queso tasted like Tosteno?s cheese dip heated up and poured on. The beans, rice and nachos that came with it was better. Wasn?t so bad I wouldn?t give them another chance.
