This week's restaurant is Don Pepe's at Greystone. It comes recommended to us by a co-worker of Jay's who shares our love for Mexican and Tex-Mex food. It is located at Lee Branch in the Publix shopping center which is definitely off our beaten path though oddly enough, still in Hoover.
Immediately upon sitting down at our comfy booth, Gina noticed that the menu was identical to that of the Iguana Grill on Lorna Rd that we frequent. Another look around at the ceiling and we noticed that the same decorations (glittery stars) hang from the ceiling. This was a good thing for us since we love Iguana. We didn't ask anyone, but would be willing to bet that they are owned/operated by the same folks.
We shared chicken fajitas for dinner. They were great - and identical to what we get at Iguana. There was a ton of chicken, peppers and onions and we only needed more tortillas. Even after we each ate our fill, there was plenty of chicken & veggies left for at least a couple of fajitas. The impressive part is that we didn't share fajitas for two, but fajitas for one....
We highly recommend Don Pepe's (and their cousin across town Iguana!)
