Overall, Carlos & Pepe's is described as a lively, welcoming spot with authentic Mexican fare, where generous portions and crowd favorites like nachos, tacos and fajitas are repeatedly praised and the drinks, especially margaritas, are a highlight for many, even as a few note prices can be high. The atmosphere, decor and a terrace setting contribute to a festive vibe that works well for family gatherings, celebrations and casual nights out, with several reviews mentioning friendly, attentive service. Still, some visits suffer from music that is too loud and slower service during peak times, and a few guests report inconsistent flavors or a sticky table. Drink quality and value receive mixed feedback, with some raving about cocktails and others finding them not worth the price. In short, the spot is seen as a strong option for flavorful Mexican cuisine and a fun, social experience, with caveats about volume, occasional service hiccups and beverage pricing.
I recommend ordering an entree along with your main meal, I was still hungry after only ordering a main, it was delicious, I could have eaten two of them. It was a taco bowl, so good, my kid had two soft shell tacos, really delicious. I wish the music wasn't so loud, otherwise great food & a nice clean bathroom.
Absolutely best experience I've had at a restaurant. The scenery & decor inside was incredible. Server was very friendly & made my visit a memorable one. Food was remarkable. Best Mexican food I've probably ever had. 10/10 would highly recommend
Mon copain & moi sommes des habitués du Carlos & Pepe de Laval. Nous y allons régulièrement & adorons l'endroit. Nous avons tenté cette localisation 2 fois & avons été très déçu . Mon copain a pris le burger Carlos & la boulette était brûlée des deux côté, il avait un fond de frite (petite de 3 cm & moins) & le burger n'avais pas de sauce. Nous avons du demander de la Mayo & du ketchups à part. Pour ma part, j'ai pris les nachos queso & il n'y avait presqu'aucun fromage. Vous verrez dans la photo les seules morceaux trouvés …. Il y avait aussi une montagne de guacamole qui teintait le goût du plat en entier. J'aime la guacamole, mais c'était beaucoup trop… De plus, nous demandons de la ciroc comme drink (il est affiché sur le menu & il y a une bouteille dans le bar que nous voyons de notre place) mais il nous est dit qu'il n'y en a pas en succursale & que la bouteille que nous voyons contient un mélange du barman pour faire d'autre drink. Finalement , le service était très médiocre. La jeune fille était gentille, mais nous a lancer le menu des dessert sur la table, nous a pas apporté d'eau avant la fin du repas à notre demande & nous n'avions pas de napkin . Bref, mauvaise expérience cette fois & la dernière fois était aussi mauvaise… je ne recommande pas, faites le détour pour le Centropolis.
Last week, I went to a Mexican restaurant & tried their guacamole. It was so delicious! The avocados were fresh, & the flavors were perfect with lime & spices. I really enjoyed it & recommend trying it if you love guacamole.

This place takes absolutely 5 stars. Birra tacos are not in the menu but all you have to do is ask for them, & OMG they are delicious! Really good is great! Drinks are great super recommended
The food was okay, but the price is way to high for what it is. If you are looking for a casual mexicain flavor dishes, yes that place is for you. If you are a foodie like me, looking for good authentic flavors, I won't recommend this place. I went there with my colleagues from my workplace, so it's a good spot if you are a big group (& if it's for work). However, I legit paid 13$ + tx for 4 tiny pieces of avocado (it was half of a small avocado) & 22$ + tx for 3 small enchiladas with rice & I was still very hungry. Service was A+ tho! Fast & friendly!
J'ai beaucoup aimé ce restaurant! Il y a beaucoup de choix! Les calmars & les frites étaient délicieux. J'ai beaucoup apprécié mon burrito. Les côtes levées ont aussi été appréciées. La viande des tacos El Jefe n'était pas assez tendre à notre goût. Le service est un peu lent, donc je recommande de prendre au moins une entrée le temps que les autres plats arrivent. J'ai adoré la décoration! Probablement un des plus beaux restaurants où j'ai été. Finalement, les prix sont conformes par rapport à la quantité de nourriture. J'ai hâte d'y retourner!
Everything was good with this place except the food. Ordered two different taco plates & both failed. The chicken was dry as dry can be which ruined the tacos. The pork had a weird texture, like it had nerves & fat all in one but dry at the same time. Sorry, can't recommend this place. You need to improve the actual food. The rest is all good.
