Montreal’s first-ever, go-to authentic and affordable taquería, Carlos & Pepe’s, wants you to feel like you’ve been transported into a surf bar, south of the border, for this upcoming Cinco de Mayo. Whether you’re from Montreal, Laval or Vaudreuil, all three locations will be serving up their special Cinco de Mayo menu, including their famous dishes, drinks and of course, tequila!
Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for 5th of May) is an annual celebration, which commemorates the Mexican Army’s unlikely victory over the French Empire, on May 5th, 1862. Nowadays, the celebration is a lot more significant in the United States than it is in Mexico. In the U.S.—as well as in Canada—the date has become associated with celebrating Mexican culture.
Since 1984, the Tex-Mex restaurant’s goal has always been to keep the fiesta alive by offering everything from authentic Mexican food, to Mexican-style cocktails, an assortment of tequila, cervezas, and more! Carlos & Pepe’s is built on the concept of being festive, colourful, and delicious. They offer authentic and affordable Mexican cuisine that is rich in flavour and texture. And of course, we can’t forget about their drinks! The restaurant takes their bar as seriously as their kitchen by offering the largest selection of tequila in the province, as well as a variety of margaritas, cocktails, and over 20 types of beer on tap.
If you’re looking for a different type of night out this upcoming Saturday, and you’re also craving a night of exciting, Mexican-themed fun, think of Carlos & Pepe’s for their Cinco de Mayo celebration. Their special menu includes: $5 margaritas, $3 tequila shots, 5 Sol Beers for $20, $8 cheese nachos, 8 chicken wings for $8, $1 tacos, and $8 chicken fajitas.
Did we mention that there will also be the famous Mariachis on-site? Yep, that’s right. The Mariachi musicians that can put a smile on anyone’s face and get you bailando will be there all day!
So grab your amigos and head on over to any of the three Carlos & Pepe’s locations for some Cinco de Mayo fun. ¡Que lo pases bien! We hope you have fun!
