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.
J'ai été déçu car la serveuse nous a dit on a pas de menu pour enfant en papier. Il vous faut regarder sur le site Web pour le voir, sans plus & cela est pas très clair sur le site pour voir le menu enfant. & comme pas énorme comme menu les serveurs (euses) devraient le savoir par coeur. & elle est repartie pour revenir 10 mn plus tard pour prendre la commande.

This place used to be better, mixed drinks used to be the main attraction, not any more.
Food is average, servers need to get watched they play with your bill, please double check before you pay. Moe's Laval was famous for ripping off customers with manipulated bills before the closed.
Watch your bills & don't order high end booze unless you are seated at the bar. The may serve you inferior product & charge you for the high end stuff.

This restaurant is very large, well decorated & the murals are fun. When we walked in though, no one came to seat us & another couple for more than 5 minutes even though the place was practically empty.
When we went to order the server seemed as though he had no familiarity with the menu & once we got our food it was good but my chicken was overcooked. Overall, it was an okay experience.
Great food really good menu with more than just traditional mexican food some fun & different alternatives friendly professional staff carlos & pepe's is always a good time
Repas était bon . Le service très bien aussi.
Pour ceux qui m'accompagnait, leurs assiettes manquaient d'accompagnement.
Pour les consommations, l'alcool était soit dilué ou la quantité dans les cocktails était minimale. Pour un pina colada double… on a chargé 26$!!!! Le double du prix pour soit disant un once de plus !! C'est carrément abusif!!
Personnellement j'ai bien aimé. Nous étions 5 & n'avons pas attendu longtemps pour avoir nos plats. Les boissons étaient bonnes & les tacos & nachos étaient bon aussi. J'avais choisi le tacos au crevettes & une margarita au framboises.
Jai commander une entree de chimichanga & un plat principal... jai regretter avoir commander un plat principal car j'aurais manger tout les chimichanga du restaurant. Un delice.
Vous devriez en faire un plat principal & le servir avec frites & un cup de creme sure.
C'était bien pour la nourriture mais le service est à revoir. On a parfois l'impression de déranger la placière où le serveur. L'ambiance générale est ok mais très bruyant. Je vais peut-être le réessayer plus tard. Après un nouvel essai en 2025, j'ai changé ma note de 2 à 5 étoiles, le service s'est amélioré pour les commandes pour emporter. Le bol de poulet barbecue est bon & la guacamole est vraiment bien. J'espère que le service sera toujours à la hauteur.
We went to try this place with our friends - made a reservation online which was nice - when we arrived on a Sunday noon, place had a couple of tables- there was only one server in the resto - took time to place the order , & food took around 30 min to arrive , maybe a big order , but shouldn't on such a slow day - food was ok but nothing wow- I can't say it is bad but nothing outside the box - the waiter was nice though but he was alone which created a sensation of rush - the decor was nice however music & ambiance can be much upgraded. The thing we liked was our margarita pitcher sorry missed the picture (recommended)
The best if not the only good plate is the beef asada Bowl ! I ordered it today & i think the chef litteraly dropped the whole thing of salt on the steak , it was sooooooooo salty it ruined the plate! Sad because its a 32$ plate on Uber..
