Don Pepe Products

Tacos! You must try their tacos… any of them really… but for starters we went with the carnitas, carne asada, and the chorizo. It had a great kick with lots of flavor. And a great price point if you don’t want to spend a lot of your hard earned cash! The chicharron is the best… and at only $ 1 a bag, it’s a nice little crispy treat. It’s not a big bag, but really… save your arteries and just get one. (if you can restrain yourself!)
Parking is limited, especially considering this place gets a lot of patrons. You walk up to a small window to order then try to grab a table to eat your food.

Had a excellent chili verde burrito. I order a large one with light pico de gallo and even with the language barrier the got it right. You have to sit outside on concrete picnic tables so I wouldn’t recommend them on a hot afternoon. My food was ethnic, not much served from a can, good home style Mexican food. I will eat here again and would recommend. Best to know at least your numbers in Spanish.

Ordered their Adobada Torta and received Asada and ate it anyway. Meat not seasoned enough and bread not toasted enough.

This place is a must! They have the best burritos in town. They are literally the size of a football yum!

Don’t be fooled by the listing, Don Pepe is a taco stand on first street between Belmont and Tulare.
At first look, Don Pepe’s can look a little scary, it’s a white taco stand with bars around the windows and barb wire fence if i’m not mistaken.
I am a self proclaimed taco snob. It takes the right stuff to make a memorable taco and this place offers, in my opinion, one of the best tacos al pastor in Fresno. I will make the 15 minute drive regularly just for my taco fix.
I almost feel like a really good taco requires a really bad area. This place is situated off of first street, but in the heart of a residential area. I don’t recommend going there after dark. The parking lot isn’t quite paved, or looks like it used to be at one time. But all that aside, if you are into going on an adventure to find good food, try this spot.
Rules for first timers:
1. get it to go. They have a fenced in patio, but it’s a little scary.
2. order the salsa on the side. Their red salsa has a serious heat factor… not just hot, make you cry for your mother hot.
3. be adventerous and order 1 thing you’ve never heard of or tried. If you like real mexican food, you’ll probably love it!
4. Get at least one al pastor taco
5. They have pepsi in the bottle, which is a throwback bonus
6. Finally, you get a little magical bonus with every order, don’t be scared. each order comes with a sample of their home made pork rinds. They can be very hard so be prepared for the crunch/​break your teath factor, but they are delicious! They have a pork rind taco, that when combined with their green salsa something magical happens!
