    In a city full of steakhouses, La Nacional stands apart with a timeless commitment to quality and service. I've dined here twice over the past few years, and each visit has been consistently outstanding. The steaks are top-tier--perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The starters are just as impressive, always managing to spark your appetite without overshadowing the main event. And the wine list? Second to none, with options that perfectly complement the food. Add to that the refined, attentive service, and you've got a dining experience that keeps you coming back. If you're in Monterrey and looking for a steakhouse that knows exactly what it's doing, La Nacional is a must.

    Wish we made reservations as we waited an hour while the smart locals had reservations and walked right in. My pulpo was stunning In flavor and texture ! Best octopus I've ever had! Also had a surprisingly tasty whole fried cauliflower that was seasoned nicely. Probably the best cauliflower I've ever had also. They serve decent Mexican wines but they seem to lack depth compared to Napa wines.

    A colleague of mine (local in San Pedro) took me to this amazing place. First, the interior made me feel I'm in a movie scene. Top notch service and food. See the video how meals being served. Visual and gastro joy. I'd love to visit again! At the end we also had a desert which was awesome too.

    In Monterrey for business, arriving late on Sunday night, and luck would have it that my hotel was a mere block from Nacional. And they had the Sunday night football game on. Was able to secure a table in the bar, and proceeded to order up some "senoritas" tacos which were a fresh, almost crepe like flour tortilla stuffed with carne asada, beans snd cheese, then lightly char grilled. Delicious! Tried the grilled beet & avocado salad which was good, but I found it a bit too rich with the pistachio Mayo "dressing" that accompanied it. Great place, very masculine design and ambiance which was very comforting after a long day of traveling.

    Meh, I had high expectations for this place, but the waiter as well as food ruined our the experience , he was first to pushy, then when we asked questions his attitude was really arrogant, we also noticed that he was sick which we were not too happy because managers need to make sure that every person that comes in contact with food to be in good health, meat was over priced and unflavored. Wine was also poor measure. Nah in my opinion I suggest going to Mochomos because was our favorite restaurant in Monterrey.

    Very good food, tacos is very soft and delicious, other food is also trashy.

    Worst service ever. Having a table outside with 40 degree weather is a restaurant not worth visiting.

    The food is really good here but I hate that the bar leaves out chips and salsa for anyone to eat,…read morethey aren't brought out individually, just remain out there for everyone to put their fingers into. I asked for a new salsa and was brought back watery salsa, like he filtered out the tomatoes. Felt like a F you for asking. That said, I do like the food and have already had 4 meals here, and more to come. Service at the restaurant tables is way better than the bar and since it's at the airport they want 20% tip, regardless of the service. I offended the bar tender when I said 15%. Listen if you ignore me, don't check on me and give me watered down salsa, what do you expect?! Everything I've eaten, I've loved and would order again. We ordered a platter of steak for 4 people for lunch yesterday and I have no idea what the menu item was but it was delicious!! It came with tortillas, sopes, guacamole, onions, chopped chilis and a little melted cheese for each of us. The Gaoneras Fresno tacos are delicious but 3 is a lot for one person. I also ordered a half ensalada de la casa with it, so maybe that's why it was too much. Another time I ordered the camarones rellenos and they were outstanding!! Ate every last bite!! Last night I ordered the Taco envenenado and queso fundido with mushrooms, plus a salad, but it was too much! It was all so good and since the salad arrived last, it came home with me. Lol Not sure what's next but I'm enjoying my meals here

    $35 for 3 sloppy tacos (with tons of fat on the beef) and a single small margarita…read more This would be a ok bill in SoCal, Cancun or Puerto Vallarta, seems a little steep for a place next to a cheap motel, especially seeing the untrimmed meat, and overall little care that goes into the plates.
