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.
It's always a good time when you get a professional bartender & should you get Vince, you will understand. He's a classic pro, great intro & omnipresent when you need a refill.
J'ai été très déçue de mon passage. Premièrement, la carte est assez mensongère car l'assiette de tacos est vendue avec 3 & on ne vous en sert que 2 (assez moyen vu le prix) Cuisine fade & sans goût. Le poulet était très sec & le guacamole plus que moyen. De même pour le burger... on s'attendait à mieux au vu des différents avis & du cadre plutôt sympa. Toutefois, rien à dire sur l'accueil & le service qui étaient chaleureux.
Nachos with steak was awesome, I am from Houston, Texas & personally I think it's way better than Pappasitos! Authentic Mexican flavors! What a delicious surprise!
Ce propriétaire a décidé que l'assiette de trois tacos, (même si sur son menu c'est aussi l'image de trois tacos) ils n'en servent que deux. Délicieuse entrée…. Mais les serveurs font la différence & sauve la face du boss… 👌🏼
service was great but the tacos are just microwaved. it's too expensive for the quality ($23 for two tacos & some rice). there was also plastic wrap in my food
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!
