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.
I guess it's an excellent place to have drinks & appetizers. Wasn't thrilled by the main dish. I had the fajitas, there was 5 times the amount of oignons to the meat.
The food was good but not exceptional. Calamari is not a big portion of you're looking to share with more than one person as an appetizer. The drinks are huge but not sure how much alcool there's in there. I was in good company so everything else was great.
Ambiance incroyable 🤩 j'ai l'impression de faire un voyage au Mexique. Les portions sont généreuses, ce qui est rare de nos jours. J'ai grandement apprécié!
Came here twice during a recent visit to Laval. Very happy both times. Drinks were tasty, the food was also delicious & came out quickly. Service was great fast.
I had an incredible dining experience at Carol's & Pepe's, thanks to the exceptional service provided by our waiter Nick. From start to finish, they went above & beyond to ensure our evening was perfect. Nick's recommendations were spot-on-every dish he suggested was delicious & exactly what we were looking for. The attention to detail & friendly demeanor truly made the evening memorable. If you're looking for great food & impeccable service, I highly recommend dining here & ask for him.
Understaff would be the themes here. No one could be seen from the front entrance. At first we stood there for a while Until a couple said they went in side to find someone. Sat on the terrace, with my daughter, super nice server asked for our drink orders.. "Two waters please, beer & an ice tea" I said. Got one water, waited 10 minutes for the 2nd water & beer. No ice tea till I got the food & asked again. Food Was bland, rice was way over cooled ( like it sat under a heat lamp too long)no seasonings on the side( salt peeper, hot sauce ) not even complementary chips & salsa as you wait.

Super ordinaire. Nourriture sans goût, cher pour la qualité. Riz sans gout, tacos sans sauce. Service hyper lent avec un serveur qui arrete pas de pousser des shooters (genre 10x no joke)
Had a birthday party for 15 people: food was fast & tasty. The service was responsive & friendly. The only negative is that we felt limited by the space & tables where we we're seated.

Service courtois & rapide. Nous avons pris les tacos (poisson & boeuf). Le riz était très bon. Cependant, les tacos étaient très fades & manquaient de saveur. Il y avait beaucoup trop de salade & mayonnaise. La margarita était aussi sans goût tout comme la guacamole.
