Senor Peppers

Not good. Dirty tables and glasses, we were never asked what we wanted to drink, cold food and lots offensive music coming from kitchen. Pretty awful.

Stopped by while enjoying the town of Oregon one afternoon. The place wasn’t busy; us with our Modelos and another couple with margaritas. Must be a decent place if everyone’s drinking at 3pm. Enjoyed a somewhat private booth. Staff was quite nice and attentive. The building is beautiful on the outside; I love the cove of the town it’s located in. Inside the restaurant is nice too. The food was disappointing, however I would definitely order again. I’d like to think I ordered poorly with the vegetarian fajitas; it seemed like frozen veggies were used, still wet. Great accoutrements to the dish.

We have always had really good food here. Sometimes we have good service but sometimes we have had REALLY BAD service. Still, the Mexican is similar to Laredo’s in Madison and we are glad to have it nearby. We almost always order the same thing, so maybe we’ve just found our favorites. For me it’s the fajita burrito (a common special) or the fajita chimichangas when they don’t have the special. Love the cheese sauce. Might not be super authentic but it tastes great. The premium margaritas are very good — much, much better than the «rail» margaritas. Love their chips and salsa too.
Now…the service issues… if you’re in a hurry make sure you order your food at the same time as your drink or at the very least don’t tell them you need more time when they deliver your drink! They often times seemed to completely forget us once our drink was delivered. Now I always hurry my husband to make up his mind by the time we order the drink (especially if we have our kids along and don’t want to wait forever).

Crappy everything. The service was bad, the guy was a jerk. He didn’t care about anything and you could tell he didn’t respect us. The food… so gross. Very very cheap. You could tell everything was the cheapest they had at GFS. Everything tasted fake and like cardboard. And it was really dirty. I’m so glad I don’t live in the Madison ara so I won’t have to ever go there again.

My husband, daughter, and I came in early on a Sunday. Señor Peppers was empty and thus we received very attentive service. The chips and salsa were delivered almost immediately. The chips were still warm and the salsa had a great, mild flavor.
The interior of the restaurant is bright and pleasant due to the the floor to ceiling window. The tables are nicely set. I wish they would pick a lane, as far as décor goes. Are you going with the colorful, eclectic mix of Mexican tchochkes and flowers or with a more minimalistic fine dining feel?
The entrées were incredible. I had the crab and shrimp chimichanga. Wow! The big chunks of crab and well-​seasoned shrimp made this dish a delight!
I didn’t care for the flavor of the refried beans. There was a flavor I could not detect. Pretty standard kids menu: chicken nuggets, burger, quesadilla.
I would love to visit again for dinner, sit outside on the patio, and try a marg!

I know the reviews are mixed, but we had a great experience — especially the food.
Service was OK — not great at first, but finished well in that food was brought out at a reasonable pace; they checked back; and our check was brought promptly.
My girlfriend and I ordered Don Julio margaritas, but they tasted as though orange soda had been added. Made for a strange cocktail — if the margarita were good I could have given 5 stars.
The high score was due to the food. Chips were run of the mill, but the salsa was very good, tasting fresh, and had the right amount of onion and cilantro. The server was happy to get us some spicier salsa, which was very hot but very well seasoned and excellent. They also give you complimentary pickled jalapenos and carrots that were really great. Very nice touch.
Cheese dip is melted white cheese and seasoned perfectly. For entrees, my friend got a nice salad with guacamole, and the guac was very good in that it was well seasoned. My «devil shrimp,» in chile arbol sauce was fantastic, and accompanied by good rice and a small salad with guacamole and sour cream.
Prices were good, and the ambiance was much better than average. All in, I look forward to going back, especially to try another margarita as I expect what we had was an anomaly. Recommend trying the place.

We used to love this place. Had great nachos and salsa. Service has never been great but has gotten worse over time. Same for the portion sizes and quality of food. Nachos are now ¼ of the size they use to be and so were the other meals we’ve tried. Nothing tastes good anymore. Sad to see a good Mexican place in town go down hill.

The service here is absolutely horrible… we have eaten here many times and each time hope it is better than the last, but each time, we have a frustrating experience. The waiters are completely disinterested with waiting tables. I specifically asked for another salsa (as ours was empty), and it never came! The water glasses were empty, even after the food came, and never once were we checked on. In fact, I went up to the counter to get my own salsa to eat with my meal.
I’d love to say that this is a one time experience, but we have been privy to this level of service EVERY TIME we’ve eaten here… We will not return. A person goes out to eat, and expects to be waited on… not met with disappointment and frustrations. We’ve voiced our concerns to managers in the past, but we will no longer be customers here.

Eek, methinks not, indeed. Take one part disinterested service, add two parts craptastic food and serve it in a dirty, noisy setting, you got yourself the train wreck of a dining experience that is Señor Peppers. Move along, folks, there’s really nothing to see here.
The signs of impending doom came from the onset of our visit, as my daughter and I immediately found ourselves standing with a confused group of people milling around in the entryway, waiting for the host to seat us. Eventually, the overmatched host herded us to a table, failing to provide menus or an explanation of who would be serving us. While we waited (and waited) for a server, we noticed food scraps littering the floor around our table. (The floor stayed dirty for our entire visit.) After a 10 minute wait, our server arrived and hastily dropped off menus, water and a basket of warm chips and tomato salsa. We enjoyed the chips, and frankly, we would have appreciated a second basket, even if we had to pay, but alas, our server never offered us that opportunity.
Our harried server eventually returned, took our order and disappeared again with no explanation of how long the wait time would be for our meals and totally oblivious to the empty water glasses on our table.
As bad as the level of service was, the food was even worse. I regretted ordering the Machacado con Hueva as soon as my server placed it in front of me. Described on the menu as seasoned shredded steak with scrambled eggs, what I received was chewy, bland meat pellets with overcooked eggs, made with a fistful of salt. This meal took the humble egg to a whole new level of suckitude.
I waited for an opportunity to send my order back, but the server conveniently never checked back with us until we needed to leave to get to my daughter’s soccer game. (The Señor Peppers website proclaims you can order with no risk — if you order something you do not like, they will replace with something you do. This is a great concept, but terrible execution by our server by never checking back with us.)
My daughter ordered a cheese quesadilla with fries. While not as bad as my Hindenburg-​esque disaster of a meal, her meal was no great shakes. The cheese was exceedingly bland (not sure if it was mozzarella or Monterrey Jack — too little flavor to tell). The fries had no crunch, were cool in the interior and were badly under seasoned (the cook must have used up all the kitchen’s salt when preparing my eggs).
The server eventually dumped the check at our table; we promptly paid and raced out the door, barely making it to my daughter’s game. Afterward, I did contact the restaurant’s customer feedback center about our lackluster meal, however, I never heard back. A frustrating end to a forgettable dining experience. While I generally loathe doling out single star ratings, the perfect storm of lackadaisical service and dismal food leaves me with no other choice.

Had the burito it was very good. Prices are acerage and service was very good and friendly.

The food here is great, it is crazy to think that this place and El Rio in Stoughton are owned by two brothers. The food between the two are completely different. I find the food here at Señor Peppers to be amazing, it’s fresh and the full of amazing spices and taste. It’s more authentic to me.
However, the service is absolutely horrible. I will always prefer to go here than some other restaurants but I also expect to wait forever to be served. Not only that but I’m lucky if they even get me a drink let alone a refill. No one ever comes to check-​in to see if my boyfriend and I need a refill on chips, drinks, or even if we want anything else. I never know what the specials are because the sign is never in view-​able range and the waiter never offers to tell us. The wait staff seems to only want to sit you down then ignore you.
Granted everyone here is friendly and I do enjoy the food but the service itself needs to improve.

I like it here. They’ve never done a poor job – food is always fresh and hot, service is friendly. Muy bien!

Been a fan of Sr. Peppers for some time now. When they first opened we were regular visitors eating there at least once a week, often more. The big down fall for the establishment is that their restaurant is not big enough. The wait is too long. We either go at odd times or do take out not. I think that it is important to note that in over 20 take out orders they have never made a mistake.

Señor Peppers is OK to me — some of the food I’ve had is insanely spicy (Huevos Rancheros) — you have been warned. The vegetarian dishes I’ve had I have not been crazy about; most are kinda bland and the chips and salsa I was not a huge fan of. The service was friendly and the seating both inside and out was very nice and well planned out.

Food is excellent. Very authentic. Great service. Very friendly, courteous, and attentive. Would go back as much a possible

Great food, friendly staff and the new, bigger space helps them serve even more customers. My go-​to for lunch is the fajita taco salad, and the mole dish on the dinner menu is super delish!
