It's Party Time at Tio Pepe, a venerable landmark in Greenwich Village. Since 1970, this delightful restaurant has charmed its way into the hearts of New Yorkers. Tio Pepe has managed to cook up all the right ingredients for success. Tio Pepe has been voted "numero uno" for its Spanish cuisine while food writers have lavished praise upon our wonderful Mexican specialties. Tio Pepe evokes the true spirit of both Spain and Mexico as it is one of the few restaurants that has successfully merged the best entrees from Spain such as Paella Valenciana, with the regional specialties of Mexico, such as a variety of sizzling fajitas. You will be immediately satisfied with your dining choices, all at a reasonable price.

"Tio Pepe is a great place to have dinner with friends or family...good spot for a first date too. The food is great and the service, the same. I had the lobster stuffed with shrimp and it was absolutely delicious...a must try! Oh, ya gotta have the Sangria...red or white...you'll love'em both! Definitely give Tio Pepe a try...ya won't be disappointed!"

"The food was Great. The service was a little slow at first, but picked up later. I went late in the evening and had to change the reservation time on OpenTable due to a show going overtime, and they were very accommodating. I will dine again and would recommend to a friend."

"This is a very simple place, with good food. It's not a hot spot, you won't have a problem getting table. Sometimes you just want a quiet night in a place where you can easily hear eachother, and the food here is very good. They are super nice and friendly."

"Food was just kind of Okay. Chicken was over cooked. Paella was on the gritty side and most everything was just sort of blah. Probably wouldn't go back there."
