A New Don Pepe's Taqueria in Fresno

Just a quick heads-up that there's a new Don Pepe's Taqueria in Fresno. Located at 4950 N. Woodrow, Ste. 101. Just south of the intersection of Woodrow & Shaw, across from the Fresno State campus. Must be a new building, right behind the strip mall with the Starbuck's & the now-defunct University Chicken. Parking behind the building & on the street out front.

Same menu as the Blackstone & Gettysburg location. Some of the folks from the old location have moved over to work the new location. Limited indoor seating (just like the old location) & some outdoor seating on a small patio, though my wife & I had no trouble finding a place to sit & eat when we were there today just after the lunch hour. It was fairly busy while we were there (a good sign) & we suspect it will get super-busy once the fall classes start at Fresno State.

      So is this some sort of institution? I've lived here in Clovis for 16 years and have never been to Don Pepe's. Right now, I'm kind of on a Carne Asada kick for some reason. I'll have to try it! Thanks

        It's definitely a favorite with Fresno-area Chowhounds. Here are four threads that discuss the place. It's name also comes up frequently in other threads on various topics (e.g., breakfast, fish tacos, etc.):

        In addition, Joan Obra had a short article about the new Don Pepe's in the Fresno Bee's "7" weekend magazine a week or so ago.
