For dessert, they brought out a sampling of candies. I thought I took a photo but I guess not. I found the same candies in the airport and bought a bag. The one I like the most was an individually wrapped caramel candy with nuts. So darn good.

It is set up with very nice decor and appears to be popular. We found the service disinterested and everything we ordered was barely OK. The steak was chewy, and the appetizers were meh. Not a fan especially given that it is priced like a high end restaurant.

Good variety on the menu with all kinds of Cabrito choices. Ordered three different Cabrito dishes. Salad bar included, which was simple, but fresh ingredients. Guacamole was excellent, as was the Cabrito. Reasonable price (but note that I live in Austin TX, a pricey location). Large, active dining area. Service friendly and efficient.

English / Español (abajo)…read more An excellent restaurant. One of several in the El Gran Pastor chain in the Monterrey area. Renown for their norteño cuisine, their specialty is cabrito (young goat), however they also offer a variety of other food. My favorite is the arrachera. The service is excellent as well and prices are quite reasonable, especially considering the elegant atmosphere and ambience. The day I went there was live music, very well done and not too loud so you can still hold a conversation. The manager came by our table to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. They have a family atmosphere, but it is also very appropriate for groups or parties, and elegant enough for a date night with your wife. There is plenty of parking. The bathrooms are clean. I highly recommend El Gran Pastor. -------l ---- Un restaurante excelente. Este es un local de varios de la misma cadena en la zona metropolitana de Monterrey. Famosos por su cocina norteña, su especialidad es cabrito, aunque sirven una variedad de otras comidas. Mi favorita es la Arrachera. El servicio es excelente y los precios son muy razonables, especialmente considerando la atmósfera elegante y el ambiente placentero. Hay un ambiente familiar, pero también sería magnífico para grupos, fiestas, y es suficiente elegante para una cena romántica con tu esposa. El día que yo estaba hubo música en vivo, muy bien hecho y no demasiado fuerte, para que todavía puedas tener una conversación. El gerente vino a nuestra mesa para asegurar que todo estaba según nuestra satisfacción. Hay estacionamiento. Los sanitarios están limpios. Recomiendo altamente a El Gran Pastor.
