Hard to find authentic Mexican food made with high-quality ingredients (unless you overpay somewhere), but Don Pepe’s serves it! I had the Chicken and Spinach Enchiladas. Plenty of food... read more (could have taken some home if I lived here), great flavor, fresh spinach, terrific poblano sauce. Rice was top tier. Not dry, not mushy, not hard. Perfect! Chips were freshly made. Salsa was fresh and tasty. I will come here again the next time I’m in town!
This restaurant and it's staff are amazing! We went in for a birthday party with a large number of people (22) they didn't hesitate but got right to work making... read more sure we had everything we needed! Don Pepe's is going to become a regular for this family! Thank you for making it a memorable night!!!!

Food was fantastic! Service was great too. The owner was walking around the entire time, checking in on tables and offering to help his servers. Passed on the margs this... read more time around but will definitely get them next time. Highly highly recommend!

Stopped in tonight to try this new restaurant. Not sure why so many low ratings. Food and service was fantastic. They play bingo on Wednesday nights.
On our way home from Nashville, we just stopped by this place which happened to be one of the best Mexican restaurant we have ever had! Great portion and fresh!
The staff is super friendly! The manager is great. I love their grilled chicken quesadillas. The frozen margaritas are VERY good! The happy hour is great too! The table side... read more guacamole is delicious ! The cheese dip is good.
First visit 11/27. Very impressed. A manager/senior waiter noticed I was in an orthopedic boot and called the hostess back to seat us in the first booth so I didn't... read more have to walk thru the restaurant. His thoughtfulness set the tone for excellent service. A friend had said the staff made quacomole to order at your table, so of course we had to try that. Fun to watch and wonderful flavorful guacamole.I could have made a meal just of that large serving (four avocados for the two of us). He and our waitress were very attentive. It was also a nice surprise to see a fresh take on Mexucan restaurant decor; one wall features a black and white mural, and I asked who the individuals were. (I recognized Frida Kahlo, but none of the others). The owner overheard and came over to identify them and tell their significance to Mexican culture. When we were leaving, the manager/senior waiter immediately came over to offer me his arm so I could safely get up from the booth. I don't know when I've had such attentive restaurant staffers. The food: guacamole was excellent. My companion had the chili relleno lunch combo and loved it. I had grilled chicken fajita taco salad which was excellent. Flavorful, tender chicken (no gristle or tough pieces) and a fine balance between lettuce and the other ingredients. You won't have to hunt thru a head of iceberg lettuce to find the other ingredients. The food arrived promptly and at ideal temperature. Just after we were seated, a group of men who looked to be in the building trades left, and the manager/senior waiter called out, "see you tomorrow." He told us the crew came in daily. If that's not a testament, I don't know what is! Friendly, attentive (but not pushy) staff, a large menu, excellent food--all inspiring me to leave my first-ever restaurant review. Definitely will be back! Thank you Don Pepe! (On Murfreesboro Road in the former IHOP site next to Big Shakes)

Surprisingly good. Read the reviews and figured well… let’s give it a try. We usually go to Garcis locally and don’t care for the other local places, but this place... read more is actually really good. Tacos and margaritas were excellent. Definitely will be back ! Give it a shot, one of the better local places.
Don Pepe’s is so good and the atmosphere is friendly. Good service and I go there frequently.
Exceptional margaritas and food. Used to go to the one in Columbia years ago and was very pleased to find out they opened a new location in Franklin.
Food was great. Chips and salsa were perfect. Cheese was amazing. The dinner was hot especially with a large party.

This has become our favorite local Mexican spot we go to all the time!! They’re so nice to us every time, have great margaritas and the food is always consistent.... read more Chicken poblano is what I get almost every time 🙌 or fajita nachos, queso conpuesto is our fave app. Highly recommend! They also do bingo every week which is a bonus.
The atmosphere was excellent, the food was good, the service was excellent, our waitress was attending us very well, she was keeping an eye on our food drinks, she was... read more taking care of us very well, I hope to return soon, I recommend the peach margarita.
My wife and I came in for the first time this evening. We are newer to the area, but we will be coming back any time we get a hankering... read more for Mexican food. The service was fantastic! Everybody was so wonderful, and it's obvious that everyone from management on down cares about your experience. The food was way better than our old go-to, and the quality of service beats most any restaurant out there. It may not be a drastically different menu than you're used to, but believe us when we say that everything was prepared with care. This is one of those places you won't regret visiting. We were immediately recognized as first-timers, but we hope to be recognized as regulars here pretty soon. 5/5 stars. Would bring anyone to this special little spot. Great drink options, and the carne asada was incredible! We hope that y'all will read this and consider giving them a shot. Truly awesome folks/food over there.
This is the best MEXICAN RESTAURANT in Franklin Tn. Great food, great service

Absolutely one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Nashville area. Absolutely worth the drive to Franklin to check it out.
