I was in the area and Mexican is my go-to. I decided to give this place a try. The pricing is very reasonable and in today's world of high costs, it was very welcome. I ordered the Birria, and a glass of water. I sat down and it was a pleasant surprise that she brought out chips and salsa. Also brought out hot salsa and salsa cremosa. The food was plentiful and the taste was good. I know there are better Birria options out there but I demolished my plate in its entirety with no problem. It's a good spot to go if you are hungry and on a budget. read more

Their food is great! Love everything I've ordered. Great service and friendly people. Recommend California burrito and Chicken flautas.

$13 for my food too look like I just got a handful of fries... go to the Taco shop instead! I wish I can give this place a zero star. read more

El Monte Fresh mexican Food - Not worth the $13 dollar. Taco shop is better. Go there. - Tacos Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

We had a large order with many different items. The shredded chicken on the chicken nachos was watery and unappetizing. The kids chicken quesadillas was large chunks of chicken meat on a tortilla and nothing else. Very disappointing. read more

The people were super nice. The food, however, was nothing to write home about. Three stars are given for the cashier's and the taco. The birria was super sad, it looked amazing, it lacked flavor, even the consumè had no flavor. So very sad. Everything was well presented and came out quickly but the lack of overall flavor was astonishing. read more

Updating my review from 5 to 4 stars. Unfortunately they got my order wrong today. I very clearly said hard shell over the phone, and repeated myself, but there was a lot of noise in the kitchen so maybe she heard me wrong. I'm allergic to gluten and they gave me soft shell tacos instead so unfortunately I can't eat them. Oh well. Their food is still good. I'll just have to be more careful and check the food before I leave the restaurant read more

We ordered food for the family to go from their website from El Monte Fresh Mexican food. The mainly serve your typical Americanized style Mexican food that we all know, but do have a few authentic items like Menudo. I ordered Birria tacos. They were very good. These are the tacos with barbacoa style pulled meat where you dip them in a cup for red sauce. I'd definitely get them again. Others ordered things like the fajita burrito. It was large and doused I in queso. read more

I ordered the tacos. It comes with 3 tacos and a side of beans. I chose steak, carnitas, and al pastor. The tacos were ok. I've had better. However, the al pastor had the most flavor out of the three. The tacos were good in size. I enjoyed the sauces it came with, a red hot and creamy jalapeño. I didn't expect them to be spicy but they were. I asked for no beans but they were able to sub it for a side of rice. They are very friendly and prices are reasonable. read more

El Monte Fresh mexican Food - Steak, carnitas, and al pastor tacos. The sauces it came with were surprisingly hot (red and creamy jalapeño) - Tacos Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Food wasn't bad at all. Hot and fresh, and didn't take too long either. The rice and refried beans didn't have any seasoning, but that's no big deal for me! read more

Ordered take out, street tacos and combo #5 with a small queso, and everything is delicious! Will definitely be coming back a lot!! Thank you guys! read more

I've only ordered delivery and each time it has been hot fresh and consistently good. The Birria tacos are top notch, reminds of west coast authentic tacos. The beans and rice are a nice complement read more

This place is clean and fast. Food is fresh and delicious but could use so more spice. They do have a drive-thru which is a nice feature. Great specials everyday. The carnitas tacos and chimichanga were delicious and filling. read more

We tried El Monte for the first time last night and the food was excellent! The staff is very nice and helpful. We ordered online and picked up at their drive thru window. When we got home, all of the food was hot. We will definitely return! read more

They got my order wrong the last 2 times I've visited. management was unapologetic and I won't be back.

Good street tacos. Good steak quesadilla. Good nachos. Everything was good. Nothing spectacular about the meal but very good and authentic mexican food. Great service-the staff served us quick and always with a smile. read more

Man I love thIs place! The quality of the food is only rivaled by the friendliness of the staff. I've eaten Mexican food all over the US and Mexico, and this place is on the money! I'd love to see them start serving lingua or cabeza but the standard offerings are just fine too. If you're near this area you should definitely stop by! read more

This place has it all. Their food is always fresh and tasty. The staff is super friendly. My absolute favorite are the street tacos. They are steaming hot and the best tasting I've ever had. They also have a drive thru, which is pretty fast considering the food is so fresh. When I drive away, I have no doubts that my favorite sauce is in my bag. Love love love El Monte Woodbury!!! read more

Probably the yummiest mexican food in murfreesboro. it's so good and their drive through is so quick and friendly. LOVE them

The strongest damn margaritas I've ever had, I got through half of mine and can't even drive home. Food is great as well as the customer service I definitely will return. read more

El Monte food is always fresh and delicious! The staff members are always friendly and pleasant. Service is fast. The dining area is always clean and inviting. I would highly recommend this place for great food, fast service and pleasant atmosphere! read more

There aren't a lot of decent food options on the north side of town. El Monte is solid, restaurant quality Mexican food. The food has always been consistent whenever I've been there. Having a drive thru is a plus for this establishment, since I often pickup on the way home from work. I admit I've never eaten inside the restaurant, since the drive thru is convenient. The staff has always been very friendly and appreciative. I recommend the taco salad and chimichanga, but everything else has been good too. My only area for improvement would be to make sure the tortilla chips are fresh. From what I've seen at many restaurants, they'll bag a bunch of tortilla chips for takeout orders, I'm guessing early in the day. However, after a few hours they begin to taste stale. I'm sure there are remedies for that, but I have no reason to stop frequenting El Monte. read more

Had lunch here...ordered the fajitas. Service was quick. The food was fresh and so delicious....this will be a regular for us

We loved this place but went today 5/4/21 and food bland - sloppy - had to salt everything- did it change owners or get a new cook?

I am so super stoked about this place opening up! It's so close to me and very very fast service it was unbelievable! Don't be deceived by this place because it has a drive-thru window, that's simply for your convenience! I've gotten better food from here than I have any mexican sit-down restaurant anywhere. And not only that, they serve up street tacos too! They have awesome express lunch specials, daily specials, and good pricing all around. Our food was phenomenal and fresh. I ordered a chicken cheese and rice plate and they were so generous with the queso, I was pleasantly surprised. I also was offered corn or flour tortillas and the corn tortillas I got were phenomenal. They're the kind you can just smell and tell theyre homemade/authentic. So yummy! My boyfriend got the Jalisco fajita quesadilla (shrimp steak and chicken) and he said it was delicious. His favorite part though was the rice as the side for the dish because he said it was the best he's ever had. Normally we don't eat the chips and salsa when we order takeout cause the chips taste stale and old and salsa isn't impressive, but this place had us wrong again! The chips were delicious and the salsa was so fresh and yummy you could even taste the cilantro! When the man at the front desk took my order he was very patient and explained the whole menu for me, recommended things, and even told me about the student discount they offer to MTSU students! 10%! :) I will definitely be coming back here for all of my Mexican food cravings read more

Just tried this place for the first time. Went to the drive thru and ordered steak fajitas. It is seriously so much food, way more than I expected. Super tasty too. 10/10 will come again. read more

Delicious! The food was awesome! Definitely recommend. The only negative is a super small dining area with no atmosphere, but the food makes up for it. Large portions as well. We will definitely go back. read more

We eat here at least once a week. We go through the drive-thru and our order has always been hit, fresh and correct! We honestly have been back to Camino since El Monte opened. We've had almost everything on the menu and haven't found anything we didn't like. Give it a try!!! read more

You get your food super fast, and it's great. It's nice that it has a drive-thru as well. They're always super nice as well! Such a good place to go if you need your food fast, and don't want to eat the normal fast food. read more

This place has great fresh food, good agua fresca, and the pricing is decent! It tastes better than most mexican places around Murfreesboro even though it doesn't seem like it. read more

There's more fish in the sea. Me and another got the chimichanga (ground beef), supreme nachos, and chips with queso. The mains were flavorless for the most part; so much lettuce for the nachos and the ground beef is texture over flavor... The best thing was maybe the chips, salsa, and queso. All tasted mediocre. Glad I didn't have to break the bank for this one but was pretty disappointed. Go to Bluecoast instead... read more

Steak street Tacos are soooooo good! Wish would add radish slices. Of only they would offer Mexican street corn, that would be awesome. Not a fan of the thick Chips and terrible can salsa , that could be more authentic and fresher. My husband enjoys the burritos as well. The kids love the quesadillas . We order here pretty often. read more

I ordered chicken fajita nachos and rice. I would rate it a 2/10. Rice tasted like it was 3 days old and reheated. The chicken in the fajita was so dry and bland. It was barely any cheese. Overall, YUCK read more

My daughter and I used the drive-thru to order for the first time. We got the Burrito Real, a chicken taco, a beef taco, two sodas (thank you for serving Coca Cola products!!) and the order included salsa and a bag of chips. Everything was SO delicious and SO fresh. The gentleman who took our order was one of the nicest people I'd ever met. He was so friendly and helpful with questions I had due to never being there before. Will definitely be returning!! read more

This place is good for a drive thru Mexican restaurant. I've been a couple times. The food is typically soggy when I receive it. The last time I went, it was literally like the quesadilla was soaking wet. However my boyfriend always enjoys his food. It's also a little annoying that things such as sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, stuff like that; it's a DOLLAR EACH. I think that's a little extreme if I want that on my quesadilla. Anyway; overall, it's what you'd expect from a drive thru Mexican restaurant. read more

My chicken fajitas was a bowl of grilled onion and peppers, with about 3 little pieces of chicken in it. Not a good value.

Disappointing, got food from here last week for first time, it was great! Husband said some of best "shrimp tacos" he's had. Well... tried to order carry out tonight kept calling & calling, finally got through only to be hung up on! Tried again, finally for their again &phone was answered again & apparently put down & left there unanswered- could hear noises in background but no one ever came back to phone! Sheesh I know it was Cinco de Mayo & they were busy but hey, hang-up on people - twice - not cool! So get to the store & share story get a very dismissive sorry from manager, young lady working front somehow manager said was who answered the phones very dismissive & unapologetic- when I placed my order promptly informed me they "didn't have shrimp tacos ". Really , we just got them 5 days ago & you were the same person that took our order then! So long story short, good food, terrible customer service ... oh @ no shrimp tacos read more
