Tea • Meat • Steak • Cheese
"I moved to Norman in 1993 from California and opened the original pepes on campus corner. Amelo the owner now, worked for me. He is from the state of Oaxaca, Mexico where they have some of the best food in Mexico..We brought this food to Norman because there was nothing else like it at the time. Plus I'm a huge Sooner fan! If the food resembles tex Mex it's because the customers want it..when we first opened we didn't have sour cream..because that's not mexican food but customers pitched a fit about it so we added it. Amelo explained to me some of his recipes are very old. A slave ship crashed off the coast of Oaxaca and the surviving slaves stayed there and blended there style of cooking with the natives of mexico. To make my point this is not tex Mex food."
