Pepe's at 821 North Placentia Avenue, Fullerton, California.

It's good to see that this little food shop found a niche that works for them. They seem also to be employing a very effective business model.

Their niche? Serving Mexican food.

Their business model? 1: Serving the best Mexican food this side of Mexico while keeping their prices moderate and their portions dangerously ginormous. 2: Employing out-going hard-working people who know their business and who are always quick with a joke or a friendly greeting.

The first time I came here I ordered two chicken tacos for lunch on the advice of a buddy. Two?! Just two?! He was correct – TWO chicken tacos filled me up.

There is a huge, extensive menu hanging right above the cash registers, but I didn’t feel the need to read it for at least two years after that first lunch. And it’s not because the big menu is written in Spanish – I can read Spanish fine. I just automatically ordered two shredded chicken tacos with everything on a hard shall, every time I went, and life was good.

Then came unexpected change. I believe it was at the advice of the cashier that day that I broke routine. I was called out for being boring and was urged to try something new.

I ordered a California Burrito.

Those of you who know, know. The rest of you go order one. I don’t want to spoil anything so I will finish this review once everybody has tried one..

Amazing of course, what else can one say? Same type of setup as the Alberto's chains, but more selection. Love the Tacos here, I'm still trying to find places like this in TX with no luck.
