My bf and I tried this place but were a little hesitant because any place that boasts steak, seafood, pasta, tapas, and mexican food sounds like it could be bad. But what a surprise!!! It's tucked away in a little strip mall in Squamish, and it's delicious!!!!! Artfully prepared, and great taste with some really good beers and drinks. Wish we had found this place first because we would have... more

Been here before but don't remember how it was, just that it was decent.
Anyway this time can be considered the first since I actually remember.
They have a nice fenced patio with plenty of seating. On a Sunday evening they had live country music, for me a rarity and though not my style of music, it fit quite well with the surroundings and spruced up the ambiance. I do remember we didn't have... more

The food was delicious, and there was a great variety. The service was excellent! Our server was very personable. I would definitely go back.

It's a killer!!
We stop here all the time we go to whistler from vancouver or other way. It's an amazing place!!! All the items are great!! Never had a bad meal.
Their curry is crazy! An amazing dish!!
Scallops, pasta,.....

They canals any martini you like;
Great service;
Cousy atmosphere;
Bat and tv of someone wants to keep an eye sports.

Just come and check it out. I'm sure you will not be... more

We took our daughters to lunch here during a visit to Quest University Canada. Delicious entrees, reasonably priced. Excellent service. Desserts were delightful. I recommend Pepe & Gringo's. However, it is NOT Mexican. There is a diverse menu, each of us had something different and all were quite good.

Excellent food, great variety, excellent service

A gem in Squamish. This menu has so,etching for everyone. They have great specials, the butter chicken is awesome as are the fajitas and pastas. Great kids menu also.

Very good experience

We tried Pepe & Gringos while on vacation recently. Food was excellent, service was good and price was right where it should be. I had the mussel appetizer and, without question, the best tasting mussels I have ever had. Every one of my family members enjoyed their meal. I would highly recommend this place and if I am ever in... more

Food was good. Too much variety for the chef to manage. Service was slow.

Eclectic place

We stopped here for lunch not knowing what to expect. The menu seems to be all over the place from seafood to Indian to Mexican and so on. We decided to have the fajita's and the food was very good. We are however used to having rice and/or beans with fajita's but this was just vegetables (for me) and vegetable... more

Weird place

Well if this is the best place to eat in Squamish we have a problem...we found an indifference in service...ordered pasta with skirt steak....tough meat not a lot of pasta all for 17 bucks for a 12 dollar dinner...the place seems kinda weird for the Peppy and Gringo name which to me would offer a Mexico feel...
Go a few... more

Excellent food every time

Excellent food, don't let the name fool you, the menu offers more than Mexican food. One of the best butter chicken dishes is found here. The restaurant is spacious, but intimate. The service is great, who could ask for anything more?

Love, love thies place

Great food, great service, prices are good for the quality of food and service. Love the halibut/lobster dish I had...one of the BEST dinners I've ever had. Ingo is the owner and will take such good care of you guaranteed!!!!! Cheers

Varied menu - great portion sizes

Pepe and Gringo's was recommended to us by some local friends. It's a little hidden from view and seems to have a customer base almost exclusively made up of locals. Quite busy (on a Saturday night) and a little on the noisy side - but overall an extremely enjoyable dinning experience.
The appetizers are entre-sized! The entres are very very... more

Always a solid choice

We always go to this place for some good food, You can have Indian, Italian, North West and Mexican in the same place. Service is always good and friendly. As per one of the previous reviewers the food is not brought in from off site. I know a lot of the cooks and they have all been trained at five... more

easily the best eatery in the corridor

A vast menu of interesting dishes like fresh swordfish ,ceviche' and butter chicken ,are just a few of my personal favorites! Pepes also sports one of the nicest bar and lounge section with really cozy chairs, as well their is an awesome patio, where fresh mint leaves grow , and accent Pepe' & Gringos world famous Mojitos! Its a great... more

Great Food

I love Pepe and Gringos. Always lots of options. Great appies and main dishes as well. Camarones are the best! When Ingo (the owner) is ther, he makes you feel like you are the most important person there! Great for a girls night or a romantic dinner or a party!

Michelle Pammenter Young - Best Dinner in Squamish

I cannot tell you how many times I have eaten at Pepe & Gringo’s over the past few years. Certainly if you were to put all those times together it would come to over a year of delicious meals.
NOTE: All meals are made fresh in-house. Nothing is pre-made and brought in as stated by a previous reviewer.
If you... more

forgetable

This place is cheep. Thats the best you can say about it.
Small portions and low quality food brought in from off site.
You'd be better off getting a case of beer and going to taco bell.

A surprising find

This was an unexpected mix of Mexican and East Indan foods. The food was good quality and price. We will return.

First of all - apparently this place is listed and advertised as "Mexican". I should point out that in reality it's Indian, Italian, and god knows what else. We went here because the cool sushi place next door had a half hour wait, and we were really hungry - turns out that we probably would have gotten our food faster if we had just waited for a seat at the sushi restaurant.

As other... more

Good food, great place

Located conveniently off the highway between Vancouver and Whistler, this is a nice restaurant to eat out. Staff was very friendly and we were seated quickly. Food is flavourful and reasonably priced.

Mexican + Seafood= Great restaurant

We ate here our first night in Squamish. Had the Calamari for an appetizer and then we had the Salmon and the Prawn/Lobster dinners. Really great food and super friendly staff!

Pricey but great food

Good service, relaxed casual atmosphere, recommended by the hotel. We had a great entree, there's lots of variety in the menu, from well-prepared standard western fare to Indian.

Exotic place

Spacious and inviting restaurant with flavorful dishes. What I like is they let you mix and match certain dishes like a rice dish sauce can be incorporated into a pasta dish, friendly service and relaxed.

Vegan & Vegetarian friendly

I've never had a bad meal here. The food is always great and the staff are friendly. The menu is diverse and has a great selection if you eat meat. It would be nice to see a few more vegan or vegetarian options for main courses.

very good address

staff really pleasant, good food, good atmosphere, reasonable prices, really a good opportunity to avoid the boring and classical fast food
just behind the mall

Terrible service, small portions, high prices, microwaved veggies, men's restroom needs a new door knob...locks you in the restroom.....REALLY SUCKS........ more

Solid food and good value

One of our favourite places in Squamish for dinner. They have a mix of Spanish, Indian and Western food. Every thing we have tried has been good. Prices are fair and will run you less than a similar restaurant in Whistler or Vancouver. Solid choice if you are in town.

One of the best restuarants in Squamish

regular visitor. food is always great and the staff and owner are friendly and helpful. The menu is good and they have some great and varied specials.

Unfortunate evening with NAOMI

After 25 years in restaurants, i have never experienced anything like this little girl Naomi, maybe 12 or 13, she was so rude and disrespectful, treating staff as subordinate servants. There was no hair in her food, nor was she treated rudely. She became enraged when another patron needed the pos machine and she had to wait in turn. She... more

Low key service and quality food

A peaceful dining experience in a friendly setting, and excellent food choices. Watch for the sign just off the highway in Squamish BC

Solid food

We have been going to this restaurant for years and the food is always solid. Service is friendly, menu is diverse, you can get every thing from butter chicken, chimichanga's to steaks and pasta. Most of the cooks that work here have been trained in high end Whistler restaurants. Compared to Whistler and Vancouver the price point is fair for... more

Take out on two pastas for dinner. Very well cooked, great flavors, spice-ness, and uniqueness to each dish. Impressed by the quality. Great place to grab dinner after a long-day on the mountain.

Just average

This mid-high price menu was just an average meal. The restaurant is pub style and just happened to be having a 70's Birthday Party in their small bar area. Extremely noisy. Would not return to this venue.

Good food

The food is good and the menu diverse. Service is always good and you feel welcomed and there is no pressure.

Interesting menu. Beer has been a bit flat every time I've gone. Half decent service. too expensive for the quality.

AMAZING!!! Definetly coming back next time in town

My family and I were on a weekend getaway and trying to find a place for dinner. We looked online and saw that Pepe & Gingo's had many good reviews. We called ahead and asked if they had a kids menu and they said yes. So we decided to try this place out. We arrived there (about 6:15pm on a... more

We Loved This Place

We stayed in Squamish for a couple of days and are so glad we popped in to Pepe & Gringo's. I liked everything about the place from the moment we walked through the door. The dark wood, and warm southwestern decor, the inviting little courtyard, the friendly staff, and of course the great food and drinks. The menu is varied,... more

Rated the Best in Squamish and we found out why

Located behind the mall so would not find unless directed to it. The front desk at the Sandman suggested it to us and we had an excellent mexican meal. The heat was just right and the portions good. They had lots of traditional items on the menu and we will try next time

Great variety will please any palette

I love Pepe & Gringos because the menu is so diverse. You can order Mexican or delve into a gorgeous tasting steak. They also have a nice wine list. The only thing that sometimes is lacking is service based on minimal staffing.

Great food, friendly service

A wide variety of dishes on the menu-everybody is sure to find something they love. The butter chicken is fantastic as are the pasta dishes and fajitas and steaks. A fantastic place to grab a bite if driving between Vancouver and Whistler or for a night out in Squamish.

Great restaurant

The food is outstanding! The ambiance is great, but it can get really noisy there because of the high ceilings and the open concept.

Don't be fooled, it's not a Mexican restaurant, it's eclectic and wonderful

Service was truly amazing, fast and courteous. The food is very good. The menu has all kinds of variety, including good fresh seafood, some Indian dishes, great choice in Squamish.

Great service! Great meal selection

We've been to Pepe and Gringo's on September 2, 2012. We have had Tapas Ribs, fancy Nachos and Crab Cakes as appetizers (we were three people and we shared these starters). For main courses my sons have chosen Chicken Schnitzel and Pasta Alfredo. All meals were large in size and tasted very good. The waitress was exceptional. The Restaurant is... more

A Hidden Gem

I don't go to Pepe's often, but when I do the food and service is always top notch. We were greeted, seated, and made well aware of the various specials they had running for the night. Our server was knowledgable and never let a glass go below half. I ordered a Caesar and had the lobster seafood medley, which came... more

Food ok , service poor

This place was busy and had large noisy groups, families and couples. It is not really a place for a romantic meal. Fish taco starter was lovely but mains were hit and miss. Service was friendly but incredibly slow, even trying to pay on departure was painful.

good quality food, great patio, but sparse service.

we drove into town and got to the restaurant by 8pm. by then most tables were clearing up to leave, altho the restaurant was by far the busiest in the area. i wasn't that hungry and opted to get the appy mussels with butter, white wine and garlic sauce, and it filled me up very nicely for $12 and the mussels tasted fresh. the actual entrees... more

Hands down the best Restaurant between North Van and Whistler

Don't let the name confuse you, Pepe & Gringo's is not a Spanish/Mexican Restaurant, although it was when it first opened. What you will find now is a fabulous menu serving everything from Ribs, Curry's, Pasta's and or course a few Mexican items. They are famous for their Butter Chicken, Seafood items such as Muscles in White Wine Sauce and... more

My wife and I stopped in here after a climb up the Chief. She had heard good things about it and wanted to check it out. The menu has a lot of variety (pasta, tex-mex, indian) and prices for our two tapas dishes (butter chicken and nachos) were $15 each.

We eat a lot of curry around Vancouver (and other cities) and this was hands down the best butter chicken I have ever had. They have an... more

If I'm in Squamish, then I know where I'm having dinner...discovered pepe & gringo's on a rainy Fall evening, & by accident...you know how it is, strange town, should I check this place out or what....certainly glad that I did! Very friendly staff, good kitchen, delicious meal & nicely presented. Now, that's where I go, whenever it's dinner & I'm nearby. I look forward to being there in a more... more

Really varied menu, with everything from mexican to indian choices, which seemed odd, however dinner was delicious!
Enjoyed the halibut tacos, and my boyfriends stuff pork tenderloin was fabulous.
Service was really attentive, and friendly even though they had two massive birthday parties in there at the time!

This was a great find on the way back from the Black Tusk to Vancouver.
Outdoor seating was nice.

The menu was fairly varied, and not what I would typically picture for a Tex-Mex restaurant. The house salad was fantastic. For entrees, I chose the mixed grill, that included scallops, salmon and halibut. My wife had the skirt steak. Both items needed salt to suit our American palate, but
were... more

I wanted this to be good and that's why I went at least 5 times over a few years. But, when the best thing they do at a tapas/mexican place is...pasta (?) you have to wonder. Service varies from slow and unfriendly to perfectly decent. It depends. If you've ever had real Mexican food, avoid what they try to do - it will not impress you. Sometimes they have some nice fish but to be safe, have... more

I came here after a day on the mountain in the winter. The restaurant was quite spacious and it was a bit on the dark side - but it might become a disco(?) in the evening.

Since it was a Tex-Mex type place I got a burrito. I wasn't expecting too much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The portions was ample - but I was able to eat all of my meal - it's rare when I don't. The burrito reminded me... more

I came here for lunch before heading off to a whitewater rafting trip (woo!).

They had a great lunch menu, with prices ranging from $7-$14. Items were quite varied, from a simple soup and salad combo to chicken tikka masala to three taco fiesta. I order the spaghetti bolognese since I wanted something filling but simple for the days activities.

The food took a bit longer to come out than I... more
