From Puebla to Playa Tambor

A story of heritage, perseverance, and flavor.

Born in Mexico and rebuilt in the mountains of Costa Rica, Pepez began in the family kitchens of Puebla. A dream of building cabins in the forest became something unexpected: a Mexican restaurant overlooking Bahía Ballena, opened after a year and a half of hard work, storms, and determination.

Our story

Born in Mexico, rebuilt in Costa Rica.

Born in Mexico and rebuilt in the mountains of Costa Rica, Pepez is a story of heritage, perseverance, and passion for authentic flavor. Our roots began in Puebla, where family kitchens and traditional recipes shaped the way we cook. Years later, a move to Costa Rica opened a new path. What started as a dream to build cabins in the forest transformed into something unexpected: a Mexican restaurant overlooking Bahía Ballena. After a year and a half of hard work, storms, challenges, and determination, Pepez opened its doors. Today we honor our Mexican origins while celebrating the beauty of Costa Rica, serving food made with heart, crafted by hand, and inspired by the journey that brought us here. Bienvenidos a Pepez.
