We ate here our first night in Montreal. We were tired from travel, and stopped at the first place that looked yummy near our hotel. Anyway, we loved this place! We were seated immediately, and our waiter was quick and friendly. Loved the huge variety of vegetarian options on the menu, and my shrimp fajitas were great. My husband had veggie chili nachos which looked fab as well. The beans were awesome. Really nice decor and ambience as well. Highly recommend.

So, I had the pleasure of eating at a mexican restaurant in Old Montreal last time I came into town. Our Rue Peel restaurant hopping this week brought us to Carlos and Pepes on Tuesday night before hitting the Metro. Truly, I wish we had skipped it.
The margarita was not good, the mix was almost teal in color and tasted as if it had been around the bar for far too long under the counter. The meal included beef nachos for my friend and I had the roasted vegetable quesadilla topped with guac.
My friends guacamole is not green brown! Salsa does not have the flavor of strawberry jam! Quesadillas are not simply heated flour tortillas stuffed with stuff. Indigestion began almost as soon as we walked out the door and lasted till today!
Not my favourite dining experience in town so sorry to say.

Went here a year ago and had an amazing time with great good but this time around i was disappointed i didnt even finish my meal.
Drinks are moderately priced and so is the food. The waiter took 45 minutes to even approach the table and when she did she brought us chips and salsa( tasted like tomato sauce) and then she returned 20 minutes later to order. Food came out cold and bland.
Never again.

There aren't a lot of Mexican restaurants in downtown Montreal, but Carlos and Pepe's compensates for that with its size and adaptability. It's got a large, but still cozy, full-service restaurant on the main floor, while the second floor is more like a pub, though you can still get the same food there too, as well as specials. So it makes for an equally good night out for casual dining or drunken fiestas.
The food is generally good, though not outstanding. One caveat, though: Carlos and Pepe's has really bad guacamole. Instead of mashing it so that it stays thick and lumpy, they seem to puree it, which gives it a whipped, frothy texture which is a bit unappetizing to me, as well as being inauthentic.

I've been here a few times and its never been anything special, sometimes even not good. Dollar tacos and dollar beers night is good though. I wouldn't get anything else but the tacos here. I'd only come back here for the dollar special.
