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'm not too fond of the atmosphere. However, the service & food itself were great. I don't remember the name of the woman who served me, but she was Persian. I recall asade, but I don't know how Persian names are spelled. In any case, I recommend going here. But again, perhaps not for the atmosphere.

Nice place to eat, relax. But don't expect much from the food. We enjoyed our time waiting for the flight that was delayed by two hours. With the nachos that we ordered came completely cold & when we asked to heat them up, they again came back quite cold. Margarita was good., Apparently everything is made from scratch. Blue moon beer was OK. The person serving was polite & courteous, helpful. If only the chef would pay a little more attention & make the food experience a little better.
Un énorme wow! Pour débuter nous avons été servi par Lina,une soie! Polie,gentille,douce. La nourriture m'a laisser sans mot…de loin le meilleur déjeuner que j'ai eu le plaisir de manger au restaurant. Cet endroit sera mon restaurant à toute les fois que nous aurons à prendre l'avion.

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
Nachos we're pretty good & lots of them. A bit greasy & sloppy at the end. The service was terrible!! Had to ask 4 times to wipe the table, eventually did it myself. Drinks to about 20 mins to arrive. Meh!
The food was okay, but service was not great. I asked for water & got a little glass of tepid water, I was left sitting for several minutes after my dishes were already taken without anyone bringing the bill. I used vouchers to pay & was not informed by the waiter that it wouldn't cover gratuities & there would be no change back. I ended up wasting part of it trying to leave a tip that I then covered with my card. Just really not impressed at all. Do not recommend.
