Carlos & Pepes

Amazing shrimp taco! Jalepeno poppers amazing! ! Service was fast. Monday 3.50 $ tacos!

Décor 5 stars. Services 5 stars. Food 4 stars. Drinks 4 stars. Did not have high expectations. I guess I was surprised. Ordered only apatizers and I was full. My wife had the fajitas.

Grabbed it to go. Had the beaf and chicken burrito… Not very tasty to say it mildly. The salad was also soggy.

The décor gets 5 stars. As I write this, however, I’ve just been waiting for my appetizer for over 40 minutes. The service here is pretty deplorable.
So, just like a pretty girl with no substance, this place is a bit of a one-​hit wonder.
Oh, look! My tortilla soup came! It’s delicious. .and lukewarm. So is my queso fundido. After the server argued with my table, claiming it was not cold, he acquiesced and reheated it.
My food arrived about 1 hr 45 minutes after I ordered… and though it was delicious, I think that was too long to wait.
If the staff here can work on timing, this place will be great. The environment seems fun, but just not service oriented.

One of the best Mexican food places in Laval (Center-​O-​Polis) with excellent ambiance and friendly staff. Check their daily specials. It just so happened that I went twice on Wednesdays. Fajita’s were less that $ 10 and they were delicious. Highly recommended place.

Cuisine americano-​mexicaine. Contente qu’il y ait enfin du mexicain à Laval. Rien de gastronomique mais agréable une fois de temps en temps. Les daiquiris virgin… Ou… double… YUMMY!!!

Service: 3 stars
Décor: 4.5 stars
Food: 1 star
Had the Cochinita pibil and it was not at all good. The meat was very bland, and was served with a basic coldslaw that makes supermarket coldslaw seem like 5 stars. No chips were served at the beginning of the night like is usual for Carlos & Pepe restaurants.
We were a group of 3 people and our food arrived cold, which was really uncool.
I’d say, this place is a great place to get a drink in the Centropolis but I won’t be eating here ever again.

La Tête de Scorpion est un incontournable! Il FAUT en prendre une si l’on va chez Carlos & Pepe!
Pour le reste, j’ai très bien mangé et le service au bar était très rapide. J’insiste sur les mots ”au bar” car la raison pour laquelle nous nous y sommes installées était que le service à notre table était beaucoup trop lent. À voir les autres commentaires, cela semble être chose courante. Je recommande sans hésiter pour une soirée à 2 au bar, mais pour un groupe je serais sceptique.
Ah et la déco, WOW très belle place!

My family is vegetarian and the food was amazing! We found our new fav Mexican food place in Laval! The music was loud and the place was happening. But there are booths available where a family can sit and have an amazing meal away from the speakers. Was disappointed with the spiceness level of their table sauces (4 kinda) and had to pay $ 1.50 extra for the hotter sauce. However the spicy (on request) vege burrito was delicious! My soft taco with cactus and avocado was savory and the spinach and cheese enchiladas was zesty! Will definitely come back.

Les plats principaux étaient corrects mais le service était, lent, mal organisé et il y a eu plein d’erreurs. De plus les desserts n’étaient pas bon, la crème glacée frite était liquide. Si je pouvais donner 0 étoiles je le ferais.

I was so excited to come to this place since I found out they were coming to Laval. The first time I tried to go the line was so long outside that we turn around. This time I came during an off night during the week and it was a good choice because the place was not really busy.
The décor is amazing and the place was pretty clean. The music was very loud actually it was a little too loud because I couldn’t hear what my boyfriend was telling or even hear the waitress. The service was pretty slow and it also took a while for us to get an English menu.
Huge drink menu and my man had a beer and I took some kind of piña colada and it was very good. It was cheap fajitas night so my boyfriend tried that and we both loved it. I had a spicy fish taco with a mango slaw and that was amazing as well the only thing I didn’t enjoy was that awful rice it was mushy and tasted like tomato. Also love the fact that they have so many hot sauce to choose from right at the table.
I will go back again for drinks and food for sure

Donc, cela fait 3 fois que j’y vais depuis que c’est ouvert. Des supers cocktails pas cher les soirs de semaines entre 4@7, incluant la bière!
L’ambiance est quand même bonne.
La nourriture est passable, mais rien d’extra selon moi.
Par contre, les serveurs sont super sympa et c’est un bel endroit au centropolis. J’ai beaucoup aimé la déco.
N’oubliez pas de réserver, car les line up pour une table sont inévitables
Je mets 3*, car ils n’ont pas de permis d’alcool pour leur granfe terasse. Ce qui enlève beaucoup de point à ce nouvel endroit. Esperons que l’été prochain ça né sera pas le cas!

2 stars for service, 3 for the food and for 4 for décor.
This Carlos and Pepes is brand new, decorated with beautiful colors and ecletic knick knacks. I loved the old wooden doors framed on the wall, the surf board type counter, barber chair, and flip flops hanging from the bar.
However, I was not impressed with this new opening, the entire staff needs to get their act together. Service was extremely slow. We had lunch around 12:30 on Friday August 7, place was only half full, we waited 40 mins before being served water and chips/​salsa, which we had to ask for.
Once the food came along, the portion looked tiny and not what we had in mind. Apparently, their «enchiladas» are just small, soft tacos folded in half. They are not the generous rolls you’re supposed to get like EVERY SINGLE picture on Google shows what a true enchilada is.
Also I found a piece of bone that was an inch wide in my beef. After complaining to the manager, he had to give us a discount on our meal.
Half the stuff was missing on our plate, we were supposed to get salad, beans and sour cream, it all came separately and despite ordering the exact same thing, my bf’s dish had an extra touch of garnish, mine didn’t. That just goes to show how there’s lacking attention to detail in the kitchen.
Food was good, although if I compare it to their biggest competitor, I’ve been to all the 3 Amigos locations many times, service is always fast, they turn tables around quickly, food is cheaper and tastier. Plus, they are also opening up in Laval soon!
Won’t be going back to Carlos anytime soon — give them time to establish themselves.
