Pepita Cantina - Arlington

Pepita Cantina is getting ready to close and is now only serving drinks and non-kitchen snacks like chips. Customers should still be able to be accommodated as long as reservations are still being accepted. While we are sad about the closure, we have had many enjoyable evenings here.

We decided to sit on the bar and our bartender james was excellent. he was extremely personal, but realized when my date and I wanted to talk to each other. he offered us the tasting of margaritas and tried to betray us if possible, but he did it without being pushed. as a former bartender myself, I found him as a person to be perceived and respectful.

Great tacos all the concrete makes it hard to speak to one another.

I went in thinking that this would be nice Mexican food, but it wasn’t. Everything was white-gentrified and pricey. This place takes simple food and makes it into hipster garbage. Elote has renamed “crazy corn,” for crying out loud. The menus were paper print-outs, and they clearly hadn’t bothered to read my reservation. There’s no way I was going to stay here, so we bailed. This was my anniversary dinner. Not cool.

The service was terrible, the food was over salted but some dishes had very little seasoning. We had two dishes that came out under cooked. I would not recommend this restaurant.
