What was I thinking giving this place 4 stars. Such great value, friendly service, and the food is…read moredelicious. Definitely worth a stop in Monticello. Had the cheese nachos this time as well as our faves from past visits. House-made flour tortilla chips blanketed in Mexican cheeses, black beans, guacamole, pickled jalapenos, tomatoes, lettuce and generous lashings of crema. Yes, the tomatoes were those pale imitation things and the lettuce is shredded iceberg, but it all worked, especially with the trio of house salsas. Was baby shark coming from a phone at the next booth over? Yes, but somehow it didn't matter, the food was so comforting. They bake Mexican pastries there too, and it seems like they've added pizza.

Most visits we've done take out, but recently we dined in and the dishes and had a great experience too. The front of house and back of house service hustles hard here. The steak dishes have always been a stand out. The tortas are wonderful. Try anything with the handmade tortillas. They're out of this world. Aguas Frescas are delicious and not overly sugary or powdery. And most recently, we had a seafood soup special that was divine. And while you dine or wait for take out, admire the wonderful artisan designs on the furniture!

Let me start by saying the owner is incredibly accommodating and genuinely generous. From the…read moremoment we sat down, he made us feel welcome. My brother-in-law ordered the combo with mixed meats and seafood for one, and it was absolutely amazing fresh, flavorful, and more than enough food. I ordered the fajitas; they were good, but next time I'd skip those and go straight for the nachos and the tostadas, which looked outstanding. Before we even finished scanning the menu, the owner brought out food for the baby on the house, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. The drinks were excellent as well made and refreshing. Overall, great food, great service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back for more of his amazing meals.

My husband and my daughter got chicken burritos with rice and beans. They were huge and tasted delicious. I had a shrimp chimichanga and my daughter had carne asada dish that we both enjoyed. My dish was a very generous portion and filled with shrimp. I had to take the star away due to barely any heat in the dining room. We were freezing and I couldn't wait to be done eating. Our hair was still wet from swimming and we were not happy to be so cold. When we asked the waitress, she was very apologetic but said the heat cannot be adjusted as the walls have poor insulation. I wish we door dashed our dinner.

I enjoyed an authentic Cocktail de Cameron with plenty of shrimp, wonderful sliced avocado and cilantro with tomato juice.
