Tio Pepe

This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in NYC. The waitstaff was rude. They brought us the wrong item and then argued with us about what we had ordered, only begrudingly bringing us what we had actually ordered. The salad we ordered had spoiled lettuce in it. We ended up leaving without even eating we were so disgusted with the place. There are a number of great restaurants in the village and I'll be going to one of them next time. Pros: good location Cons: everything else more

Just visited Tio Pepe on Friday night with a dozen friends to celebrate a birthday. The food was blah..the sangria was watered down...and the waiter was rude! I'm convinced the previous reviews were written by the restaurant owners! Our waiter was so pushy and rude. Since it was a large party and the tip was a mandatory %...he kept on pushing us to order more than what we wanted. We ordered a pitcher of sangria to start and he said it wasn't enough...you need at least 2. Fine...bring us 2 pitchers. Some of us order soda and he made a nasty comment "It's Friday, you should drink and party!" We ordered 3 guacomoles to share for the table and he kept on repeating..."It's not enough, it's not enough!" We really wanted to tell him to shut up and take a chill pill. But we bit our tongue b/c we didn't want them to mess with our food. When the food finally did arrive, it was very disappointing. Seriously...Taco Bell can do better than this. It was very mediocre. Def will not go back again and I highly do not recommend it. The only thing I can commend them about is the reservation process. They were quick and polite when I called in the reservation and gave me no problem at all. But everything went downhill from there. Pros: Reservation was easy Cons: Food, drinks and service were terrible more

I went to Tio Pepe for my best friend birthday with a big group of people and we had a blast! The decoration, the service, the food, everything was amazing. We got both Mexican and Spanish food and It was great! The Sangria and Margaritas were so good we barely couldn't stop drinking. The service is very very good, latin people are really good at it, the are very friendly and they know what they do.\r I definitely recomend this place where we had the best time ever! Pros: ambience, service, food, prices. more

We had a 10 people party in The Garden at Tio Pepe's last Sunday, where believe, i would come back every week if i'd live in NYC, it's a shame that I just came on holidays from Spain, where i am from. Well, we drunk mojitos (outstanding) and lots of red sangria (taaaaste it!!!) and ordered 7 tapas to share like: Guacamole (fresh made right in front of your table by Very well skilled waiter) Calamari Sinaloa, 2 orders of Nachos (beef and chicken), Gambas Ajillo (OMG!!) and 2 Plato Iberico (nothing better to feel like at home). Our waiter was taking care of us all the time even when he was very busy with the other tons of people seating at The Garden, very nice place for parties! In general service was great, fast and right, everything on time. I had the Paella Valenciana with lobster..yummmmy!! My mum couldn't make it better (sorry baby.. :) ) It's a shame that i'm coming back to Spain within 4 days...I won't forget such special night with my good friends at Tio Pepe...did i mention desert??? go see by yourself!! more

We went for dinner. The mojito was warm, the "Nacho's" were soggy chips soaked in cold cheese with cold beans. The Fajitas were low-grade steak in about an inch of oil (and we asked them to do "light oil" so I can only imagine) and the paella was blande and repulsive. We did not even eat our dinner. It was so bad we left and had ice cream cones for a meal. Pros: Nada Cons: Food more

Colorful and cozy. The wait staff was helpful in describing some the dishes that weren't familiar to us. Prompt service, but not rushed. Wonderful service, delicious food. I am definately going again! more

Went there this past Saturday evening for my birthday with many friends/family and we had an absolute great time. Alejandro, our waiter was good to work with from the moment I called to the moment we left...minus one token drunk man at the bar...but otherwise...a great place and couldn't have asked for a better time. more

All I can say is that the servers and bartenders here ROCK! Walked in for $5 margaritas- got more than we bargained for- a drunk mother (after they kept hooking us up with free rounds). OK- so first, get margaritas (One guy danced the whole time behind the bar!). Next, order made-at-the-table guacamole- crushed and prepared to your liking by a cute Dominican man. Next, don't let server give your mother another margarita. For dinner, paella (any style) or shrimp fajitas- couldn't get enough. Finally, order a round of waters and fried ice cream. YUMMO. Stumble out with your doggie bag, a lil' dizziness, and full belly. Good times had by all! Pros: drinks and food- fun and lively place Cons: had to leave more
