The food was outstanding and the staff attention very good. I will visit again to eat me a payea valeciana, a Spanish dish made from Spain. I was taken back to the 1800 century with their special look inside the restaurant. I love every single detail of it.

So happy for finding this place, if you’re looking for a great atmosphere, good sangria and amazing food you found it! Must try the ceviche mixto, the octopus here is so tender. Other options are the mixed seafood plates, unfortunately we haven’t had great meet options. The Brazilian steak is good but easy to over cook

Had dinner with the family on a Sunday evening in this bar and restaurant run by Orlando and his family, having Portuguese origins. We had a wonderful Paelha marinheira (paella de marisco in Spanish). Service was excellent and friendly; Orlando entertained us and gave some tips for our visit to Philadelphia. If you want a taste of Portugal / Spain (fish or meat) north of Philadelphia, I would highly recommend Tio Pepe!

Can’t begin to explain how excellent everything was. First time here at Tio Pepe, and I’m blown away. Between the food and the service, everything was top notch.

A delightful experience! The servers were friendly and attentive, our meal was fresh and delicious, and the presentation of each dish was beautiful. We had the shrimp in garlic sauce as an appetizer and shared the seafood paella, followed by mousse for dessert. We’ll definitely return!
