Best

I enjoy the paella, and love the guacamole. It's delicious. But most of all I love the bar and the service.

Worst

I brought my out-of-town sister and her fiance to Tio Pepe and was embarrassed by the end of the meal. Service couldn't have been worse, and our food was bad. We sat in the back p...

Spanish What???? 8/11/2007

Ambience was great, decor nice, my waiter seemed confused. The food was the most bland food that I had ever tasted. When I am eating English food I expect some very subtle seasoning but not when I am eating Spanish food. My husband had a beef fajita that was simply a fill for his stomach. I had the shrimp dish in lobster sauce with a smattering of rice ( I guess there was not enough in the kitchen). We had a $27.00 pitcher of sangria that was so tasteless and it had little alchohol. Needless to say we will not be back. If you are interested in decor and getting off your feet after shopping and want something to eat, for my opinion there are other more suitable eats available in the neighborhood. Then again, if you like bland food then this is your place. Pros: Great decor Cons: Where is the seasoning more

Food is good but service is so slow and very expensive 7/23/2007

I found that the guacamole was good but for the money you pay, it wasnt very much. The paella was okay but nothing special. The sangria was very overpriced and not worth it. Overall I thought it was good but certainly nothing out of this world. Pros: Great location Cons: Very loud, too expensive more

Best ambience ,serviceand atmosphere for having a memorable goodtime. 7/18/2007

I have been dining at Tio Pepe for 15 years and my thirteen year old son ingested his first solid food at Tio Pepe's while I looked on in trepidation. Jimmy, the owner, an old hand at raising kids (he has three) told me to relax and let my son, Elias, enjoy the food. Boy was he right. Elias has been eating there since and loves the chicken and rice especially. The service is attentive and reasonably quick. The "caring" of the staff as to your satisfaction is "first rate" and food is whisked away at any signs of displeasure. The drinks are plentiful and tasteful and cause even non-Spanish speaking people to sign Spanish odes with abandon. A member of the owner's family is usually around in the evening-often seen dining along with patrons. I have brought friends and professional colleagues and always gotten positive reviews after a meal. Prices are moderate and the good excellent. Parking is even possible after seven (the side contiguous to the restaurant does not have meters--hard to believe. Enjoy! Pros: Great Food and drinks Cons: No corned beef. Just kidding. Can get noisy. more

Avoid for private party 7/18/2007

I reserved tio pepe for my supervisor's retirement party. When we signed the contract the menu we chose was open bar (sangria,wine,beer) for two hours. The day of the party the waiter gave me a hard time because on of the guest asked for a corona wich is an imported beer. I explained to him the contract said nothing about only domestic beer for the open bar. The entree was very late for some of the guest they had to practicaly watch other people eat. We had to keep asking for the sangria pitchers to be filled. After a few pitchers the guest were complaining because they were very weak in alcohol. We had salmon and veg. everybody was so surprised because the little vegetables that came with it. Never will return . more

VIVA TIO PEPE 7/10/2007

I have been going to Tio Pepe's for five years now and it is my favorite in NY. I have NEVER ever experienced poor service in the restaurant. Great waiter service is the norm. We are always greeted as we enter and we see the same being done to all that enter the restaurant. The Langosta Rellena is killer as is the pulpo gallego. The pulpo is the BEST my wife and I have tasted in NYC. Too bad the two disgruntled patrons had a bad waiter. It was probably the same person but I have never witnessed this. Do not judge this restaurant on those two reviews. In the five years I have been coming I have dined with my wife, family and friends and always it has been a great experience. I do not work for Tio Pepe. VIVA TIO PEPE!!!!! Pros: Friendly Service Cons: Parking more
