4 /5 Billy (OverlandGeek): We visited the newly opened Don Pepe’s Express this morning for breakfast, and I have to say, the experience was impressive.
The restaurant itself is beautiful, open, spacious, and nicely decorated. The ambiance is warm and inviting. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted right away and encouraged to sit wherever we liked. Within seconds, our waiter was at our table taking drink orders. My wife and son had apple juice, and I went with coffee. The coffee deserves a special mention; it was smooth and rich, possibly freshly brewed, and easily one of the best I have had in a while.
For food, my wife ordered the Huevos Divorciados, while I went with two singles: Migas and Huevos Rancheros. Both plates came with a side of refried beans. While the portions were fair for the price and the flavors were good, the beans unfortunately arrived cold, which was a bit disappointing. Still, my wife really enjoyed her dish and finished it, as did my son.
The total for our meal was $37.91, which felt reasonable for the quality and service. Despite the small hiccup with the beans, we left satisfied and are looking forward to coming back soon to try more from the menu.
