The Pepper

Delicious food and great service at this colourful Mexican restaurant and bar. I’m vegan and they were super accommodating of me, I ordered a burrito with portobello mushrooms and beans and it was delicious, there were other vegetarian options that I would have been able to request vegan as well. I confirmed that all their beans and vegetables are not cooked with animal products. The portions are huge and come with warm chips and tasty salsa. The best part though was the service, I felt very welcome and cared for as a solo diner. My server Lisa was very warm and friendly, definitely ask for her. Great place to stop at on the trip between Montreal and NYC if you’re passing through town. I’ll be back here on my next visit for sure!

The staff is always attentive and friendly when we go here no matter how busy it is. They have daily specials which include discounted food and drinks depending on the day. Food is delicious and I can't say I've ever had anything I didn't like. Their flavored margaritas are a must if you stop her!

There is no ego here. The owner was helping with tables while planning an event, etc. She was impressive, and whoever is cooking is dead serious. I tried to pace myself but it was incredibly difficult. Atmosphere and service not fussy or self-conscious; all just perfect, start to finish, chips and margarita to the escabeche.

Explained to server I had an onion allergy. She stated she wasn't sure if anything would work for me since a lot of things had onions it. My husband and I explained if it was fully cooked in a sauce I would be okay, and onion powder was safe to use. Everything on my plate was full of onions. We explain I wasn't going to be able to eat anything. The server then ignored us as I sat there with a plate full of onions. When she finally cane back to our table she had a huge attitude and was just unpleasant. I would have been nice if she spoke to the cook first and explained my allergy or had the cook come talk to us. (This typically happens everywhere I've gone, since its such a rare allergy). I'm so angry with how I left feeling. If you have any type of food allergy I would think twice before going here!

We like to hit this small restaurant when in Plattsburgh. The food is generous, margaritas are good. There is too much sometimes, can’t finish my plate. Prices are decent and staff are very friendly. Not the best Mexican food we’ve ever had but in my top five for Plattsburgh.
