Pepe’s Vegan Bistro

Excellent spot for vegans and all. The cashew crème and mole are fantastic.
They even have avocado cheesecake.

Delicious

I've enjoyed every single thing I've eaten at Pepe's, especially the nachos. So happy to have a safe place for vegans in Lincoln. Non vegans will enjoy too

Pros: Nachos, Burritos , Cucumber lemonade

100% Vegan!

Pepe is one of the nicest people on the planet and the food speaks for itself! Do yourself a favor and anytime you're in Lincoln, make sure you stop in. If not for the food, stop in for the supportive and creative atmosphere!

Simple and delicious

Visited a few months ago and got the burrito and some enchiladas. The burrito was super simple but so so good. It was like something my mom would make. I cried a little. Ride your bike here for a little discount and the full experience of having a crazy delicious healthy and filling meal at your friend’s house after a long day of playing outside. Thank you Pepe! I hope to be back someday.

Excellent food!

We loved eating here, their options are great! Very original, great quality and big portions! We had nachos, burger and a lobster roll (we were three people… I don’t eat that much)
Everything was delicious!

Pros: Quality , Food portions, Tasty!

The Best Healthy Vegan Quesadilla!

Never judge a restaurant by its outward appearance!
Pepe's Bistro is a VEGAN restaurant!

The owner Pepe is a local healthy vegan food master! The ingredients are organic and locally sourced: Organic wheat tortilla with pepita mint pesto, vegan smoked gouda, herb roasted asparagus & crimini mushroom, sweet pepper, vidalia onion. Served with charro black beans*, brown rice*, pico, corn and fresh guacamole. *Not shown in the picture.

Pros: Organic whole foods, Locally sourced, Biodegradable packaging

Cons: It's usually only open during lunch

Wonderful vegan spot.

A wonderful vegan spot with great food. Mexican Fusion. Our host was very friendly and offered free hot tea. I had the bbq torta, my wife had the curry taco salad but it looks like there's a rotating menu that changes daily.

Pros: Everything was vegan. , Friendly host. , Delicious.

Delightful

So excited to find a vegan spot on my vacation. Small menu based on what is locally available. We split the Chile relleno, bbq burrito, and taco curry. It was all fantastic!

Sweetest man in town

Pepe is probably the sweetest man I’ve ever met. The food is great, lots of yummy vegan options! He sources produce from local farmers, lots of eco-friendly practices... you will feel great after eating here!!

Low-Guilt Feel-Good Place

Many vegan/vegetarian entree, side, dessert, and drink options in a uniquely welcoming atmosphere. Plant-based books and magazines on all the tables, flyers for upcoming events plastered on the front windows, and local art on the walls made me feel like I belonged.

Pros: Very friendly worker, Easy to order and pay, Even easier to enjoy

Cons: In a part of town I'm not usually in, Constantly busy, which is arguably a pro, Limited options available the day I went, but okay

Nice people - great food!

Love the fresh vegetables, beans, herbs and spices. It always smells so good when you walk in. My daughter and I split a black-bean sandwich with fresh veggies and homemade sauce that was awesome-and huge! We also split a dish of vegan nachos with beans, guacamole, vegan cheese and salsa that wasn't even on the menu, but Pepe made up just for us (really a sweet guy-and great cook) Sometimes they have entertainment too :)

Pros: they now take VISA, Friendly staff, Healthy and fresh real food

great food, but no raw menu

The menu was quite small, and little to no grain-free options. She seemed bemused when I asked about a raw menu (none, apparently). I drove out of my way to find some raw food and came up empty, but we did eat some delicious local mexican-inspired dishes, with plenty of raw greens on the side.

Pros: fresh local greens

Cons: no raw menu

Wow

I heard multiple people in the restaurant exclaim, how great the food was, and couldn't believe it was vegetarian. I ordered vegan style and it was just as exceptional.

Pros: Delish, super friendly, Supports sustainability in multiple ways
