Reviews describe Carlos & Pepe's as a lively and welcoming spot with a well decorated interior and a generally solid Mexican menu. The food is often praised for its flavor and generous portions, with favorites including fajitas, beef nachos, and various tacos, though a few visits report items arriving cold or with inconsistencies in preparation. The drinks are a highlight for many, with standout margaritas and fruity options noted, though some guests feel drinks have become less impressive since changes at the bar. Service is described as friendly and attentive when staff are present, but several reviews mention slow service, delays, or mixed attentiveness, occasionally with cleanliness or detail issues like dirty plates. A number of reviews reference changes in staff or management affecting the experience, including margarita quality and overall flow, while others praise the lively atmosphere and reliable crowd pleasing dishes. Overall Carlos & Pepe's remains a solid choice for casual meals with friends, offering good value and enjoyable ambiance, but potential visitors should expect some variability in service and execution.

😃C'était à moi,Lavila & mon Amoureux Éric notre première fois qu'on allais là-bas au restaurant Carlos & Pepe's & on à trouver ça très bon,& le serveur il était super gentil.😃
Our waitress zineb was very polite,kind,& friendly towards our group. The food was very tasty & I very much enjoyed the chicken wings they're are so delicious & I absolutely love them. Overall our experience was delightful & once again I thank our waitress for her kindness & patience.
Le pourboire est calculé après les taxe (malgré la nouvelle lois) & le serveur nous a imposé du pourboire & nous a dit que on a mangé pour 1$ alors que on a payer 50$ chaque nous étions 2. sont service étais à désiré donc nous n'avons pas laissé de pourboire je suis de base généreux en pourboire donc si je n'en laisse pas c que le service n'était pas bon. la bouffe étais bonne mais pour le service c'est à éviter & pour la moitié du service ce n'était pas notre serveur qui est venue

Jai ete pour la 1ere fois avec un couple d'ami ( centropolis laval ) j'avais jamais ete la bas, & nous avons ete chez Carlos & Pepe's .
Tres belle place , tranquile , tres bon service ....la seule chose ......les bancs en bois .....bon ca doit etre pour le style mexicain .....mais banc pas confo dutout . Pour le reste cest excellent 👍👌
We visited Carlos & Pepe's around 10:00 PM. The service was very good-respectful, friendly, & attentive ,The prices were affordable . However, I was disappointed with the food. The rice was extremely dry & difficult to chew, & it lacked the flavor I remember from previous visits. Additionally, one of the plates brought to our table was dirty, & we had to ask for a replacement. While mistakes can happen, I believe it's important for staff to double-check items before serving them. Overall, great service but the food & attention to detail could be improved.

Correct, sans plus. L'ambiance & le décor étaient super, mais la nourriture était ordinaire. Les portions étaient petites, plat de birria tacos sans accompagnement, une entrée qui avait litérallement 3 bouchées. Le service laissait à desirée, la serveuse semblait blasée.
