At Pepito's, we take real pride in serving our guests authentic Mexican dishes made with the finest ingredients available. Like salsas made fresh throughout the day to ensure the ultimate in flavor, Guacamole prepared with only Hass avocados and handmade tamales prepared daily in the traditional way - wrapped in corn husks for the best taste and to retain moisture.

These are but a few of the efforts we make every day to bring you the real flavors of Mexico. Our menu features regional specialties, including sizzling fajitas, tamales, enchiladas and tacos as well as traditional Mexican combination platters. Salads and soups are also available for both lunch and dinner.
Services
There's no language barrier when it comes to great food, and for nearly 20 years, Pepito's Mexican Restaurant has been serving precisely that, creating plates of cuisine so authentically Mexican that they might easily be found in most any home south of the border.

Boldly breaking onto the Destin scene in 2000, Pepito's dared to offer a menu that stood out amongst the many seafood restaurants laying claim to the area, though they certainly make good use of the local catch.
Below we have listed our catering options in portions we have found work best when catering for groups. Any items not on our Catering Menu must be ordered per plate from our Regular To Go Menu with Regular Take Out Pricing. An 18% Gratuity is added onto all catering orders, pick up or delivery as well as a $100 fee for any delivery over 10 miles from our location.

I'm an American Girl, I love American food. All my friends told me how good this place is. So I gave it a chance.
Simply put, it was the most flavorless junk I've ever had, no taste at all, mushy and gross. I can now add Mexican food along with Thai food as disgusting.

Amazing food, good prices, and clean. And great servers! I can confidently say we will be back to try different dishes. Order their Horchata, you won't regret it ;)

From Chicago and this place was delicious ! A must if you like real authentic Mexican food. Friendly staff, not bad on prices either & quick to get the food on the table. Would highly recommend their Miami vice as well. The bar tender makes a good one!

Hands down, the best wings you can buy. Super random, but definitely a must every time we are in town!

We were having a stressful and long day when the tattoo shop down the clock recommended this place to us. Mouth watering street tacos and one of the tastiest margaritas ever. Our waitress was so cool too- we could tell she was enjoying her job and she definitely made our day better!

Food was ok, we originally were going to mi gente Mexican restaurant next door but it was closing so we noticed Pepitos and tried it. My main complaint is that I got charged 17.99 for a margarita. 😂 all would be ok if I was informed ahead of time, I was shocked. Please advertise or post the price ahead of time. Put it out front on the sign “Pepitos! Home of the 17.99 margaritas” nobody likes surprises and maybe everyone in Destin will raid the place for your great drink prices.
PS OWNERS RESPONSE, thanks mister owner for your sarcastic response stating that I’m confused. Here is the receipt

We had the combination ceviche, sopes al pastor, and caldo de res. All were good and the presentation was nice.

Fantastic place to enjoy some delicious Mexican food that we found to be a good mix of all the various types of Mexican (we are from CO, so the Mexican food here is a bit different). Chips were warm, salsa wasn't too runny or too chunky, but just right. The margarita was HUGE and a perfect blend (not too strong, but you could definitely taste the alcohol!). We were a party of 7 and all of us really enjoyed our food! Highly recommend!

Awesome date night! We shared a double order of steak fajitas and ended up taking home enough for another meal! Ukrainian waiter was fast, polite and kind. Food was amazing! Live music artist was also very good and entertaining. We'll definitely be back.

Wonderful Mexican restaurant in Destin. Nice, friendly and courteous staff.
Awesome food, many vegetarian varieties. Their spicy salsa is out of this world. Is you like 🔥 spicy 🔥, you ought to try it out.
The Chile Rellanos are perfectly made with soft yummy cheese, is been a while I had this best.
The vegetarian enchiladas are very good and the tortillas are so soft they literally melted away in the mouth. My wife didn't even care to offer me a bite and that's the benchmark for me on how good they are lol 😂😆.
