What is Peppers Cantina in St. George, Utah?
Peppers Cantina is a family-owned Mexican restaurant at 144 W Brigham Road in south St. George, Utah, just off I-15 at the Brigham Road exit. It makes its tortillas, salsa and chips from scratch every day, is known for its Beso Chimichanga and house-made tamales, and pours margaritas and other cocktails.
It is a local, family-run restaurant, not a chain, and as far as we found this is its only location. The kitchen's pitch is simple: food made from scratch each day, generously stuffed chimichangas and a choice of red or green sauce on most plates. The cantina side pours handcrafted margaritas, cocktails, beer and wine. SGWOM is not affiliated with the restaurant.
What should you order at Peppers Cantina?
Start with the Beso Chimi, the chimichanga the restaurant calls its famous dish, filled with shredded chicken, beef, pork or chile verde. The house-made tamales and the Enchilada Anchas, made with grilled homemade flour tortillas, are the other house specialties worth trying. Ask for red or green sauce.
| Dish | What it is |
|---|---|
| Beso Chimi | The house signature: a homemade flour tortilla filled with shredded chicken, beef, pork or chile verde, folded to look like a “beso” (kiss) and deep-fried. |
| Enchilada Anchas | Homemade flour tortillas grilled, rolled around shredded chicken, pork, beef or chile verde, and smothered in red or green sauce with cheese. |
| Flat enchilada | Layered on a corn tortilla with cheese, red or green sauce and your choice of shredded meat, chile verde or cheese only. |
| House-made tamales | Shredded chicken, shredded beef or shredded pork, ordered à la carte. |
| Chimichanga and burrito | Large homemade flour tortillas with cheese and your filling, served with rice and beans and smothered in red or green sauce. |
| Fajitas | Carne asada, pollo asado, carnitas, shrimp, shredded meats or vegetables. |
For a starter, the menu has guacamole and Cantina Fries, and the chips and salsa are made in house every day. We haven't listed prices because the restaurant's own menu and the delivery apps show different numbers; see the current menu for today's prices.
