Nestled in the heart of Cottonwood, Pepe’s Diner at 324 S Main St serves up a menu that blends classic American comfort food with a Southwestern twist. The offerings here are hearty, flavorful, and designed to satisfy every craving.
Breakfast lovers can’t go wrong with the Pepe’s Big Breakfast, a plate piled high with eggs, crispy bacon, sausage, golden hash browns, and a fluffy pancake on the side. For those who crave spice in the morning, the Chorizo & Eggs dish, served with warm tortillas and house-made salsa, delivers a bold kick. The Southwest Skillet is another standout, combining potatoes, peppers, onions, and choice of meat, all topped with melted cheese and fresh avocado.
Lunchtime at Pepe’s Diner is all about bold flavors and generous portions. The Green Chili Cheeseburger is a must-try, featuring a juicy beef patty smothered in roasted Hatch green chiles and melted cheddar cheese, served on a toasted bun. The Chicken Fried Steak Sandwich, crispy and golden, comes with a side of thick-cut fries or coleslaw. Fans of Mexican-inspired flavors will appreciate the Carne Asada Tacos, served with fresh lime and a side of refried beans.
For dinner, comfort food takes center stage. The Country Fried Chicken is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and drenched in rich gravy. The Smothered Burrito, stuffed with slow-cooked beef or chicken and topped with red or green chili sauce, is a local favorite. Seafood lovers will enjoy the Grilled Salmon Plate, served with roasted vegetables and a lemon butter sauce.
No visit to Pepe’s Diner is complete without dessert. The Homemade Peach Cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is warm, sweet, and perfectly spiced, while the Chocolate Lava Cake is pure indulgence with its rich, molten center.
With a menu packed with both hearty classics and regional specialties, Pepe’s Diner delivers flavors that keep guests coming back for more.
