Pepe's North of the Border bills itself as the world's northernmost Mexican restaurant — accurate, and the kind of distinction Barrow excels at. The food is straightforward Tex-Mex: enchiladas, fajitas, generous burritos, all done to a decent standard.
The dining room is busy and chaotic in the summer, full of tour groups and oil-industry workers, and quiet in winter. No alcohol. The walls are covered in clippings, photographs, and signed memorabilia from decades of visitors.
