Pepitos Restaurant

You're walking past the Victorian terraces of London Road and spot Pepitos tucked in among the usual Derby mix. Inside, it's warm and unpretentious—the kind of place where families pile in on Friday nights and groups of mates linger over margaritas until late. The menu reads like someone's genuinely travelled, not just Googled 'Mexican recipes': expect properly made salsas, charred meats, and dishes that taste like they've got real technique behind them. At ££, you're getting proper value for plates that actually satisfy.
