Pepe Delgados - Norman

Came here for lunch during a visit to OU. The food came out really fast, and it was really good. I got the steak fajitas and really enjoyed it.

I moved to Norman in 1993 from California and opened the original pepes on campus corner. Amelo the owner now, worked for me. He is from the state of Oaxaca, Mexico where they have some of the best food in Mexico..We brought this food to Norman because there was nothing else like it at the time. Plus I'm a huge Sooner fan! If the food resembles tex Mex it's because the customers want it..when we first opened we didn't have sour cream..because that's not mexican food but customers pitched a fit about it so we added it. Amelo explained to me some of his recipes are very old. A slave ship crashed off the coast of Oaxaca and the surviving slaves stayed there and blended there style of cooking with the natives of mexico. To make my point this is not tex Mex food.

The quesadilla is delicious, easily the best I have had in the OKC area. The "salsas" are okay, but there are a lot of options to choose from. They have lunch portions for cheaper. They serve Pepsi products. They do not condone Pokemon hunting in this establishment.

This is a great place on Campus Corner in Norman. The food is fresh and the portions are ample. The food is not Tex-Mex (so if you are a fan, you may be disappointed) and they use cilantro in their dishes a little more than most places. I ordered the Loco Burrito with pork. It was about the size of a small football. It was stuffed with pork, rice, beans and cilantro. My wife ordered tacos, one pork and one beef. We also had the chips and salsa. Chips were fresh and crispy and you get a sample of four different types of salsa. You may pay a little more than a fast food Mexican restaurant, but you will get your moneys worth.

I'd say that people that are disappointed in this place most likely didn't read the menu. No, it is not Tex-Mex. Fuzzy's is right up the street if that's what you want. Chips and salsa are separate, that's just the way it is. But they're only $2.75 and you get an assortment of salsas, so... Also, I haven't had a bad meal here. There is sometimes a language barrier but that's the way it is. If you want Tex-Mex, stay out.
