This is one of my newest discoveries in the solano area. Wow this place serves bigger portions then most places I've visited for the same price. And I will say the food is amazing and tasty.

I have chicken tamale you see the inside of it right there, beef pork enchilada, the rice was pretty aesthetic and so are the beans. They also sell tamales in bulk.

Chepo’s is the best ‘grab and go’ lunch or dinner! It’s a family owned and operated restaurant. All flavors are great, our favorite is the dessert pineapple raisin tamale.

I went to Dixon to Pedricks to buy tamales today 12/24/24, but they had sold out (1900 today!!!) But the cashier told me where they buy theirs from: Chepos in Elmira. I called to ask if they still had any left, she said they did, and that...Read More
Take outDinner$1–10Atmosphere: 5Pork and Chicken TamalesHighly recommendClearly labeled vegetarian dishesI know they have vegetarian tamales.Plenty of parkingFree parking lot, Free street parkingPark where you can find it, there's more around the side where the mural is, just don't block the houses that are next door and to the side when you park. Be careful not to block the street. People are usually in and out pretty quickly so if you have to, just wait a couple minutes and a spot will free up.The food is great, very kid friendly. The employees/owners are so kind and helpful. They also have a dessert tamale, pineapple and raisins.Fully accessible. Flat parking lot, flat doorway, the door isn't automatic, plenty of room for a wheelchair of any size. Parking is quite close, so even if you can't get a handicapped spot (idk if there is more than one), it's still just a few steps to the door and back regardless of where you have to park in their lot. I have mobility issues and had no problems personally.

Don Chepo is a regional treasure! If you purchase a tamale from any of the fruit stands in the greater Vacaville Fairfield Dixon area you're buying from Chepo's. They work hard there making an honest, quality, authentic product. They even stayed open late on Christmas...Read More
