Don Pepe's in Newark NJ

I'm invited to a bday party at this restaurant tomorrow night. Has anyone been? How was it? Also, how dressed up do I need to be? I checked this site and the website but there wasn't much detailed info. Thanks for your help!

The food is your standard, Americanized Spainish fare. I think it is overrated, and they always overcook my lobster tail. Rice is so boring and bland. You could wera jeans to this place. VERY casual. I went to a christening here and there were men in the dinning room wearing those Ginny-Tees's. (Sleeveless shirts.) Gross....nothing worse than dining out and seeing a man's underarm hair stuffing his fat little face!

Since you will be with friends, you will have fun. Like I said, the food is so so, but so is every place else in the Ironbound. Have fun!

No problem!!! I make myself laugh!! :) Anyway, you will have fun..Loud place!! Drink some sangria for me, but not too much since that stuff gives you a NASTY hangover!!! Garlic shrimp as an appetizer is always great!!
