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.
I visited Carlos & Pepe's at Montréal-Trudeau Airport while waiting for a late flight. Unfortunately, the kitchen was already closed, so I didn't have the chance to try the food.
It would be great if the restaurant could keep the kitchen open until midnight, since many travelers have late-night flights & would really appreciate having food available at those hours. Extending the kitchen schedule could make the experience much better for passengers flying late.

Surprisingly awesome airport find! We stopped by Carlos & Pepe's at Montreal airport & had a great experience. We ordered the steak nachos & vampiro tacos, paired with a passion fruit mojito & a glass of white wine. Everything was flavorful, fresh, & super tasty.
The vibe & decor really stood out-it honestly didn't feel like we were at an airport at all. Chill atmosphere, nice lighting, & a space that made us forget we were in transit.
There was a bit of a wait for the food, but the staff let us know in advance, so no surprises there. & for airport dining, the prices were totally reasonable.
If you're passing through YUL & craving some solid Mexican food in a relaxing setting, definitely check this place out!
Such a pleasant surprise for an airport restaurant!
The service was excellent-Maude took great care of us with genuine warmth & attention. The overall atmosphere was calm & inviting, making it a great place to relax before a flight. The cocktails were good, & the fajitas were flavorful & perfectly cooked. A perfect spot to unwind & pass the time before boarding. Highly recommend!
Food was really good, nacho portion was pretty big even though the price was slightly high. Over-all for a airport restaurant food was delicious & price was reasonable.

Wonderful spot to spend time if you have an extended connection at Montreal Airport. Nice atmosphere & great attentive service from Sonia. The quesadillas were exceptional. Will be back!
I had the pleasure of being served by Lya at YUL, & I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Despite the busy airport rush, she was incredibly attentive, friendly, & efficient. She made sure my order was perfect, checked in regularly without being intrusive, & even offered some great recommendations. Her warm & welcoming attitude made a long travel day much more enjoyable. If you're passing through, I highly recommend stopping by & asking for Lya]-you won't be disappointed!
The daiquiri was amazing, & the service was perfect. For a restaurant in the airport, it is incredible. Thank you particularly to Azadeh, a really good waitress.
We got there with 45mins before our flight, & they made sure we got our tacos & cocktails in time. Everything was good. For an airport restaurant, it did the job really well.
The staff amazing Vincent is great landed in Montreal but not getting poutune if I don't leave the airport. Vincent got me an amazing refreshing drink & great food best in the airport for sure
Azadeh was the best server that we had in all my flights from the airport. She was knowledgeable about celiac disease & suggested us some options so no one got cross contaminated.
