Pepe's Finest Mexican Food, founded in 1962 by brothers Joe, Tony, and Fred, has been serving high-quality authentic Mexican cuisine to Southern California for decades. Named in honor of their nephew who served in Vietnam, the restaurant quickly became a beloved establishment known for its secret family recipes.

After the passing of Tony in 1973, the remaining brothers continued to expand the business, opening multiple locations across Los Angeles, San Gabriel Valley, and Orange Counties. Today, Pepe's remains committed to providing delicious Mexican food and maintaining its legacy as a staple in the community.
