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.
Souper à trois personnes dans un lieu confortable, propre & bien entretenu. Service rapide & attentionné, sans erreur ou oubli à signaler. Fajitas chauds & savoureux offerts en généreuses portions. Les margaritas sont toujours préparées à la perfection, même si la grandeur des verres semble avoir rapetissé. Mais tout était excellent.
Joli décor. Pas bruyant du tout, on pouvait s'entendre. Portions généreuses. Agrémenté d'une Margarita classique. Simplement délicieux. Notre petit groupe a passé un très bon moment. Le serveur, David, de mémoire, a été très sympathique & il nous a fait d'excellentes suggestions. Je vais y retourner c'est certain.

November 30, 2024 - Very BAD experience! We will never go back there again. A CRUDE welcome: As we arrived, we were told that we must leave the place at eight pm. At the time of booking none of this had been mentioned otherwise we would never accept tp eat in such a place where customers are so rudely treated. The food ? What about it? The beef inside my meal suspiciously tasted like chicken liver (which I hate)- Well, I prefer to think that it was chicken liver & not something else. I could not eat that although the portion was small , as small as my guest's meal. The dessert was supposed to be a crispy crust filled with ice cream. The crust was frozen (cold & not crispy at all). The ice cream tasted NOTHING & this is not because it was cold & could have frozen my tongue. NO! . It tasted like a bad quality ice cream, that's it! The sangria blanca was certainly 95% water judging by its taste. What about the service? The waitress was smiling but always hasty to go elsewhere, sometimes missing what we were asking her- Probably too many tables to serve for one person. However two busboys were really eager to remove my guest's plate although he did not finished. Don't try to have a conversation with your guest. It is REALLY too noisy. We NEVER experienced so MANY BAD things in the same restaurant! & guess what? The restaurant was far from being full. So what's the point asking us to leave at eight under the pretext of allowing new guests (ghost guests?) to have a table? Note that we wanted to leave a feedback on their app'OpenTable'. Surprisingly, our two stars rating was preventing us from writing a review (which would obviously be bad since we put only two stars) & only good reviews (probably very old ones) could be seen. You may wonder why two stars rating? We were just sorry for the poor waitress who certainly tried to do her best but how could she? The two stars are for her, EXCLUSIVELY.
We have been here several times, usually for dinner. The enchiladas are great, authentic, & full of taste, have tried them all but our favourite is the tomatillo green sauce. The fajitas were pretty good, but after a round of nachos it was a bit too much for only 2 people. Nachos were ok in taste, good size for sharing. The burrito bowl was good but the chicken cobb salad was not well balanced. I have never ordered their dessert, but have ordered some of their drinks, the sangrias are very good & light. The music was a bit too loud for our liking so hence the 3 stars on atmosphere
We ordered a pitcher there & what we got was really not beer. It was flat & at the same time a bit sweet. We notified the person who was serving us & finally with some hesitation & resistance we managed to convince them that there was something wrong with our beer. The was just Ok. Nothing special about it.
I don't get the wall of doors, but it is kinda cool. Everyone seems friendly & helpful. We drive from Vermont because we haven't found any place as good here. The food is delicious & the drinks are well balanced. If there was one missed opportunity, it was that if the server had asked me if I'd like another drink when I was 50-75% empty I would have ordered another drink. Nonetheless, we love the place & it is a regular stop when we hit the area.
