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.
We decided to go here for a spontaneous dinner, for our 12 years wedding anniversary. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time, the food was great, served promptly, lots of flavor & copious amounts. Our server David was great, just enough present to be helpful & let us eat in peace. (I don't like waiters that hover & ask every 2 minutes if everything ok...) It was a pretty busy night, but we were served quickly & all the dishes we chose were prepared perfectly & to our liking. My kids LOVED their cheeseburgers, while hubby & I enjoyed the few appetizers & the mac n cheese. Our drinks were great too! Overall, would definitely be back & would definitely recommend this restaurant 👌🏻 😋
Beau resto Propre, jolie deco & original. Tres bon service, merci a David notre serveur. Plat de Nacho est super ! Portion genereuse. Mexican flag tres bon choix. Poulet BBQ tendre. Vraiment tres bon choix de resto !
I LOVE this place.. Every time I get to Montreal , I'm driving the extra km to get there with my family. Best food , best service , best ambience. Easy to park too.. Don't miss it ...
The service was great, the decor is nice but we were near the door & kept getting a freezing draft. My spicy margarita was also very good! Unfortunately, the fish tacos were extremely disappointing as was the side of Mexican rice. Very little flavour, fish seemed under cooked in the middle & there was way too much cabbage without any sauce for balance. Will not be returning. I also do not feel well today & wonder if it was the fish, I stopped eating it mid way
C'était correct. Je préfère pareil le 3 amigos en général. Quand je vois les banquettes où on est directement sur le bois, je regrette à chaque fois d'être venu, très inconfortable. Heureusement la bouffe est ben correct, mais rien d'exceptionnel non plus
The food wasn't bad but nothing amazing. It's a fun place to go to with a group. The staff was very kind & checked on us & the food. I liked the nachos a lot, fun dish to share.

Carlos & Pepe's in Laval offers a lively atmosphere with a Mexican flair. The vibrant decor sets the stage for a festive dining experience. The menu boasts authentic flavors, from zesty appetizers to hearty mains. The staff's friendly demeanor adds to the enjoyable ambiance. While it's a popular spot for gatherings & celebrations, the diverse menu ensures there's something for everyone. Carlos & Pepe's captures the essence of Mexican cuisine with a touch of warmth & a dash of fiesta.
Le prix des verres alcoolisées sont exagéré & ridicule. Un verre 12$ un pichet de sangria 55$ + taxes + pourboire... La nourriture est OK mais sans plus. L'ambiance peut être festive sans quoi ça peut devenir chaotique & infernal car lorsqu'il y a foule ou party de groupe & bien c'est tellement bruyant qu'on a peine à s'entendre parler sans devoir crier & sembler être dans in club plutôt qu'un restaurant. Il n'y a pas grande place de stationnement disponible aux alentours
I hadn't been to Carlos & Pepe's in possibly a decade! Went with a friend on a Thursday night. The restaurant was not busy & the service was quick. The decor was charming, the food was very tasty, however, I was disappointed with the price. I had the combo fajita which included three shrimp & three average slices of chicken over a pile of onions & peppers & we shared a fry. The meal cost me just shy of $45 & I only had a glass of water to drink (no bottled water, no alcohol, no coffee, no dessert). Even with the rise in prices, this is insane. I found pricing quite steep. For this reason, I will not be returning.
Un bon restaurant pour les amateurs de nourriture mexicaine & la décoration était très original (la murale, le mur fait en portes & les carabines en guise de poignées de portes pour les salles de bain. Les drinks étaient délicieux & le poulet bien tendre & savoureux. Un bon service rapide & efficace. Ils servent aussi de la Labatt 50 ce qui est un big win pour moi haha.
