| - 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.
