great place for lunch specials!
the food taste like the home cooked meal you would expect from a soul food restaurant.
Excellent food.
It's not as good as it used to be. Their quality has dropped as they've expanded, and why are all of their restaurants so COLD inside? They have the A/C set so low inside that the pizza is cold before you're even half done eating it!
We will all miss Ray NG the owner of this great place. Taken from our lives. In 10 years I have been eating here I never had a bad experence.
I concur with everyone who rates this place highly. I go there anytine I'm in South Florida. I've know good Mexican, but the ambience, food and drinks at this place beats any others I've tried. Its ambience is darkly-lit, multi-tiered, satillo-tiled. The margaritas and food are to die for, especia...
I live in Tampa Florida and have been going to Carlos and Pepes when ever we go to the Miami area. Each time we go, we wonder if it is as good as we remember. It never lets us down. We try different Mexican Restaurants all the time and have not found anything as good. This is the best Mexican food e...
Back in the 70's we called this place "Dirty Ernies", with words of wisdom and pictures painted on the walls, wooden picnic tables inside, and menu's hand written on paper plates ... Ernie passed away years ago but the food is still the same, spectacular! A real treat! Get a pork sandwich, fritters,...
I wouldn’t go for the pizza though since I like crisp crust and I am not talking about the outer edge that part was crisp, I’m talking about the bottom crust. It was soggy. To me the distinction between ok pizza that tastes good and excellent pizza is the texture of the bottom crust. If you like ...
Just plain and simple the best B-BQ in Florida. Picnic tables, long lines, but the staff is friendly and the food is WONDERFUL! The greens are to die for, and the pork is tender and melts in your mouth,we loved it! We go there from Delray as muh as we can....LOVE the place!
I have not been to Carlos and Pepe's for a while, but all the other times have been excellent. I cannot wait to go back. Now that I am reading the reveiws, my mouth is watering and I cant wait to have that yummy salsa and margarita again soon.
Carlos and pepes has the best food on planet earth. When we go to florida we eat there twice a day. It's that good. The chips are so fresh and the salsa is the best I have ever had. Several of us go there and we all agree, It's the best food we have ever had,bar none. I compare every other place I e...
The absolute best Pizza I have EVER had. I am the Guilt Free Gourmet, so if I'm going to eat something fattening...it has got to be gooooood.
They put so much of an ingredient on their pizza,
it's best to only get 3 toppings. My favorite is
pepperoni, green bell peppers & onions. This place is...
Through the years, we've been going over to Saigon City. Be prepared for WIDE SCREEN TV showing all sports coverage through your steaming pot of PHO.
They're starting to pale against Phuong Nam, nearby in Tamarac, Florida, which has excellent food.
The best restaurant bang for buck in the world! I recommend the beef brisquet. Great location near the beach.
Ernie's, to me Dirty Ernie's from my formative years is not a restaurant, but an institution. A unique dining experience that is hands down my all time favorite restaurant! Conch chowder comparable to none other, along with bimini bread, pork, beef or brisket, and covered in that magical barbeque ...
I JUST MOVED HERE AND I TRIED IT AND IT'S GOOOOD! WHEN YOU DON'T WANNA COOK HOME FOOD FOR YOURSELF.
GOOD LOOKING OUT MR>TOM JENKINS FROM SUNSHINE/06
I VISIT EVERY TWO WEEKS JUST FOR THE GREENS!!!

I NEVER miss a trip to Ernies when I go back to Ft Lauderdale. I grew up on Ernies and it is a must to have some packed on dry ice and brought back to Texas with me on the plane. This is my kind of Bar B Q! I have my brother picking up another load of yummies this week (10/2005) and it is being d...
The food in Carlos & Pepes is outstanding. The prices are very low. The service is very regular. I happen to speak spanish and some of the male servers are just rude!. They hit off on women. I felt harass there. Also the servers are rude if you don't leave a 15% or more tip. I went there and t...
We used to eat at Carlos & Pepe's in Kendall and loved it until it closed - if this is the same company, we tried 17th Street for the first time and were well pleased. It was very busy but we only had to wait 5 minutes, the server was great, very attentive without being obtrusive; the food was good ...
