Nestled in Firebaugh, Taqueria Don Pepe offers a menu that speaks volumes about authentic Mexican flavors. The selection is packed with rich, hearty dishes, starting with their famous tacos—freshly made tortillas filled with a choice of asada, al pastor, carnitas, lengua, or pollo, each bursting with well-seasoned, juicy meat. Every taco comes topped with onions, cilantro, and a side of zesty salsa, elevating the flavors even further.
For those craving something more substantial, the burritos here are a must-try. These generously stuffed delights come packed with rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and a choice of protein, making them a fulfilling meal on their own. The super burrito, loaded with extra fillings, is a standout for those who love bold flavors.
The tortas at Taqueria Don Pepe bring a satisfying crunch with their toasted bread, enclosing layers of meat, fresh avocado, jalapeños, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo, creating a balanced mix of textures and tastes. Meanwhile, their quesadillas, featuring a golden, crispy tortilla filled with gooey melted cheese and meat, offer a simple yet deeply satisfying bite.
A local favorite, the sopes, deliver a thicker masa base, piled with beans, meat, lettuce, crema, and cheese, providing a hearty, rustic touch to the menu. For a comforting classic, the menudo, a rich and flavorful soup made with tender beef tripe in a bold red broth, is a weekend staple that many return for.
Those with a love for seafood won’t be disappointed either. The shrimp tacos and ceviche offer a fresh and zesty contrast, with vibrant citrus flavors that cut through the richness of the other dishes.
Every plate at Taqueria Don Pepe captures the essence of traditional Mexican cuisine, balancing bold spices, fresh ingredients, and authentic cooking techniques.
