What Wade Koss likes about Pepita Cantina:
I'm the guy who never leaves a review with a good experience or bad experience but im hopeful management will look into our experience. Serving staff was fairly horrible. Took too long to order drinks (which when finally served were incorrect) and didn't receive silverware for 10mins post food making it's way to our table, etc... just overall not what I expect from a Mike Isabella establishment. I understand it's a c... View all feedback. What Quincy Gorczany doesn't like about Pepita Cantina:
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. View all feedback.

Pepita Cantina offers a great experience on their covered patio, perfect for an 80-degree day. The margarita, chips, and salsa were all delicious, with a slight disappointment in the overcooked nachos. Despite some minor issues with food and service, the separate seating areas and overall setup make it a great spot for groups of friends outside. While some reviewers found the menu limited and service lacking, others praised the excellent guac, queso, and salsa, as well as the friendly bartenders. Overall, Pepita Cantina seems to offer a mixed experience, with some standout dishes and service, but room for improvement in certain areas.
