Pepe's Place . - New Rochelle

Above all, excellent foods as a whole. I traveled through New Rochelle and saw this Halal place on Google Maps. I stepped and was greeted by the bride at the counter, very pleasant man and very cool soul music. My from Brooklyn, like an hour to 1 1/2 away from home, so I ordered more food so I could really taste and evaluate this place. I ordered the Moroccan style lamb Gyro (5/5, the NY Style Buffalo Shrimp (3/5 with frits (4/5 together with Tarter Sauce and Coleslaw). I finished this with her famous Mac n cheese (3/5 and her signature Fruit Punch (5/5). Overall, the lamb gyro and fruit stamp were amazing. The Mac n cheese and the shrimp seemed like they were from a high-end restaurant, but I personally like my Mac and cheese more cheesy and the shrimp sauce was too sweet. This place gets 4/5, very nice. No bathroom:

The pungent fish and homemade tartaric acid sauce are pure perfection! The Mac and the cheese would be too salty.

So delicious, try the fried fish, buffalo shrimp, and mac and cheese. The homemade fruit punch is the best I've ever had. Not a huge selection but it's not necessary because everything is so good. Great service: thorough and helpful. Only a few stools to sit on, it really is a storefront restaurant.

Yummmm! I’m not usually one for fried fish/shrimp and soul food, but I was having a rough day and needed something deep fried. This food was soo satisfying! Hubby and I tried the Thai shrimp, Buffalo shrimp, fried fish, yams, mustard greens and Mac and cheese (yeah we went in! . The fish was phenomenal, crisp, flavorful but not really greasy. Both shrimps were good, but I preferred the Thai. The Buffalo shrimp had more heat than flavor…. And no blue cheese dressing?!? The greens were excellent. I LOVED the Mac and cheese. It wasn’t typical soul food Mac and cheese… it was a bit more simple in flavor. My husband did not like it. Ha! He loved the yams, but they were too sweet for me. All in all a very satisfying meal. Definitely recommended if you want something indulgent.
