Hubby and I went out for dinner a few days ago and we decided that we were in the mood for Mexican food. We rarely have a chance to have it as there are no Mexican restaurants in our neighborhood.
We went to Carlos & Pepes in downtown Montreal. We were seated right away (which I love), and got the complimentary nacho chips and salsa. I have been there before and the salsa was mildly spicy and flavorful. This time is was sweet and flavorless. It was quite disappointing.
As usual, I ordered a strawberry daiquiri (non-alcoholic as I was driving), Mexican restos are the only places that you can get a decent daiquiri or margarita. It was delicious, but too big! I was unable to finish it :(
I ordered the roasted vegetable quesadillas and hubby ordered the beef chimichanga. They both came with a green salad and Mexican rice. The plates are huge! The vegetables in my quesadilla were not roasted. There was no char on them and they were very moist. The rest of the meal was enjoyable. Hubby enjoyed his chimichanga. It was flavored properly. He was unable to finish it though as he does not have my appetite and the plates are huge.
They would do well to reduce the portion size a little and reduce the prices in accordance. They would have a lot less waste and save money on the take-out packages.

Until next time!
