Always fast, always friendly, and always delicious. The menu is plentiful and the staff is always willing to customize the order for you. I ordered a custom fajita shrimp salad on my last visit...it was picturesque AND tasty!

Food was good and hot. But we came for the drinks. Really enjoyed our time here. The servers were very nice. The restaurant was nice as well. We were seated quickly too and saved money.

Peppers Mexican Grill was a nice enough place to meet a friend. The service was friendly enough and while the ambiance is nothing fancy or anything, it was still a nice enough and relaxing atmosphere. All in all, Peppers Mexican Grill is a decent enough place and with the crowd that was here, I guess that a lot of people around here already know that.

It was a great atmosphere. We were here celebrating an anniversary with my in laws. It was my first time but my in laws have been here before. I ordered the chicken & shrimp chimichangas which were amazing. I love that queso is drizzled on the top of the chimichangas . I will be back . Also, they have great drinks -- I wasn't drinking but my in laws and husband said they were good .

As good as it gets. If you get there & Isabella is your server, you are in a good place. She is about the best multi-tasker I've seen & never neglects any customer while keeping up with making drinks, serving food, washing glasses, cleaning up tables & bar. (Even back o n Cinco de Mayo, she Pamela never missed a beat). And really - get a choripollo fajita and enjoy. Great restaurant/excellent wait staff & kitchen staff!!

WOW WOW WOW! I'm in town for family fun and looked this up very close to my hotel and the food is AMAZING! I was very shocked with the quality of margaritas! Our table ordered all a JUMBO and a small. They were THAT good. The food was super yummy and super fresh! My new go to spot when I come back. This place was delicious. The servers were nice. 10/10
