Reviews of Carlos & Pepe's at the Montreal airport describe a menu of flavorful Mexican staples such as tacos, nachos, fajitas, and fresh cocktails, with many praising the freshness and bold flavors though some dishes or ingredients are noted as pricey for airport dining. Service quality is mixed: multiple visits mention quick, friendly, and attentive staff and helpful recommendations, while others report slow service, miscommunications, or billing hiccups that dampen the experience. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as welcoming, chill, and surprisingly non airport-like, with good lighting and a vibe that makes waiting for a flight more pleasant; occasional waits for food are mentioned but often communicated in advance. Accessibility and allergy accommodations are praised in some reviews, and overall the place is considered a solid option for a preflight meal or drink, though a few guests felt the value did not always match the cost.
Great food but terrible service. We had four vouchers from Air Canada & wanted to use all four. We even ordered extra churros (on top of the, again, delicious chicken burger & Carlos Cobb) to round up to the four vouchers. However, there was an issue & we were charged twice; the staff was helpless & only promised that they had done nothing wrong. It was late at night & understandably everyone was exhausted, but we expected more than just a shrug.

Very strange experience at this place. I waited at the please wait to be seated sign & it was as if I didn't exist to the staff so I sat myself down with a menu & nobody came to take my order for over 10 minutes. Just staring at me but doing nothing. Horrible customer service
J'ai pris le petit-déjeuner chez Carlos & Pepe à l'aéroport de Montréal & j'ai goûté le toast à l'avocat - c'était absolument délicieux & très frais. Excellente expérience dans l'ensemble. Un merci spécial à Azadeh pour son excellent service !
À la prochaine !
Zacharie thanks so much for thr great food, i got the soft shell tacos & they hit the spot for my next flight. Just perfect best airport mexican i have ever had.
Nous étions en groupe & assis près de la fenêtre, avec une très belle vue. La serveuse nous a offert un très bon service, rapide & sympathique. Les boissons étaient bonnes, je recommande vraiment la margarita.

Food was good but the waitress seemed to be in a terrible mood. Almost felt like I was bothering her. Drink were also really bad. Overall poor experience manly because of the service.
J'ai commandé des tacos ,c'était un peu cher mais savoureux. Le riz était légèrement froid, mais le service était très rapide & les serveurs étaient sympathiques.
