My husband & I have been going to Carlos & Pepe's for fifteen years & they have truly excellent food. The portions have gone down considerably in the past couple of years, but the food remains fantastic. The service is not the best, but if you have to take one or the other, the food tops all others in the area.
The margarita glass makes you feel like you are in a Mexican restaurant drinking a margarita. Should go back to your original glass.
GREAT TRADITIONAL MEXICAN FOOD
- General Info
- Carlos & Pepe's was founded in January 1979. Our objective was to develop an authentic Mexican restaurant that catered to the 'Gringo" taste. We have always used nothing but the finest and freshest ingredients that can be found. In a few rare instances where a certain product wasn't available, we would temporarily take the item off the menu rather than substitute something of lesser quality or perhaps a canned item. As an example, we only use King Crab meat in our nachos and enchiladas and have never substituted a lesser product such as snow crab. Our salsa is made with fresh tomatoes and even when tomato prices reached record highs, we refused to substitute canned tomatoes even though it would have saved a fortune in food costs. Likewise our Margaritas are made with only fresh squeezed limes and lemons, a time consuming process, but worth the effort when you take your first sip. Maybe that explains why we've been here for nearly 40 years.Carlos & Pepe's was founded in January 1979.
