Our Family's Journey from Mexico to LA
Behind every authentic taco is a story of family, tradition, and passion for preserving the true flavors of Mexico in Los Angeles. Little Pepe's was born from a deep love of authentic Mexican cuisine and a mission to share genuine family recipes with Los Angeles communities.
From Oaxaca's Heart to LA's Streets
Little Pepe's isn't just a taco truck; it's the culmination of a dream from Pepe Rojas, who brought his grandmother's cherished recipes and the spirit of Oaxacan street food to the bustling streets of Los Angeles. Growing up, Pepe learned the art of crafting rich mole, zesty carnitas, and vibrant aguas frescas by his abuela's side, observing every meticulous step and embracing the heart that goes into true Mexican cooking.
His journey to Los Angeles was fueled by a desire to share these genuine flavors, not to adapt them, but to present them in their true form. Every tortilla, every salsa, every filling tells a story of generations, of traditional methods, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity. We invite you to taste the tradition, taste the passion, and become part of our story.
