We enjoyed our meal, the service and said to each other that we needed to return. We did. I did. And it's GREAT. In classic Mexican restaurant fashion, the food comes out very fast and very hot and I don't care how. Rice, beans, cheese, tortillas and sauteed peppers and onions are all over the menu and in different forms. The menu is HUGE and the prices are very very reasonable. This last time, we got the enchiladas casas (or something like that) and coyote something or another. Basically, both dishes are enchiladas topped with pork. I have to tell you something: I don't like enchiladas. At all. I don't do corn tortillas and the red sauce is definitely not my favorite because it's usually too acidic and does not match with the enchilada fillings. All of my doubts about enchiladas were erased this day. The sauce is deep and rich, the cheese plentiful and the pork juicy and flavorful. The complimentary chips are warm, the salsa is chilled and the furniture is bright and festive. I think I really have a deep affinity for this little restaurant! Monte De Rey is now my Mexican restaurant of choice. I'll return here again and again without question.

The food is good. There's free refills on the horchata which is made in house. Chips and salsa are served the moment you sit down. I ordered the Steak Tapatio which was good but didn't feel like it was made with ribeye which is usually tender and flavorful. The steak in this dish was tough even to cut but still yummy. However, the potholder used to serve the dish was filthy and the knife to cut it was so loose I couldn't use it to cut the tough steak. . My husband ordered the carnitas. It was perfect. There was enough between those to plates to share with small children. The interior is beautifully decorated in bright colors with Mexican motifs. Even the glassware is exquisitely handblown with swirling colors. The servers and staff were friendly and attentive but not obtrusive. We were greeted when we arrived and wished a warm farewell when we left.

They don't allow you to order lunch portions at dinner(even with an up charge like at other Mexican restaurants) Staff were pleasant, birthday celebrations come out of nowhere, so most patrons jumped (be warned)! LOL! Due to the smokiness of the fajitas, that does come to the table first - before your freshly made corn tortillas, before your plate of toppings & sides. I was told that they set off the smoke detectors in the kitchen. Seems very odd seeing a restaurant can time the food delivery and bring the "cold" items first and the "hot" items last if they need to arrive separately. #justathought

I also love the fact that the place is owned by a Pastor and his family! They are always so kind and helpful. They have authentic Salvadoran food, which is very difficult to find here.

Point, providing no street visibility, and a rough parking lot! The inside mirrors the outside, worn but clean and with a decent amount of seating - booths and tables, functional if not comfortable! Bibical verses adorn the wall, obviously no fear here of standing up for what you believe in an increasingly secular society - courage should always be acknowledged, IMHO! I ordered the aforementioned Pupusas - 4 Cheese and Pork for $11.50 with Crudito included! These were good, not great, Pupusa - under-seasoned for my tastes (added a Rick Bayless (you must know who he is) measure of salt) and it was were I needed it to be - but still weak! Unfortunately the Crudito was very weak, barely fermented - a great side when done right, not the case here! This was not bad food, but there is better available, even as close as Los Primos, only several miles away! The combination of under-seasoning, lack of pork, and uneven grilling makes this more than a bit off the charts for best of show!

And spotted its iconic small red building (absolutely charming). Just one look and you're curious... we walk inside. We had a German Shepherd with us. I walked in and asked if we could sit with our dog in the outdoor seating. Greeted with an enthusiastic, "Hey Amigo!" I was caught off guard but just knew immediately it was going to be a GOATED local spot. Outdoor seating was exceptional! Nice, cozy and simple - nothing more, nothing less. I ordered the Birria Taco dish. Plated perfectly, cooked to order, taste? Phenomenal simply. The beef was so tender, the consomé soaked perfectly and complemented not only the tacos, but the rice and beans served with it. Pure cinema. Service was fast. The guy that greeted me earlier? Yeah, he was serving too and he had everything locked in. What a guy! I imagine the back of house staff are all stellar people too - complements to the chef and team. You guys are awesome.

It is a small place, and frankly the inside is more than a little rough, and it is not the cleanest spot I've ever been to. It is located just off of S. State Street in the "downtown" area. But the food is generally decent and the service has been good as well. The salsa is very, very good, though I did get stale chips on one visit. I've been here several and have tried the California Burrito, the Pastor Torta, and the Carnitas. The burrito was well sized, I chose shredded chicken. The well filled flour tortilla was covered with a very tasty cheese sauce with a sprinkling of pico de gallo. The burrito did not contain French Fries as is the norm for this item! The Pastor Torta was also well filled with al pastor, onion, jalapeños and a Mayo spread on a sub like roll - this was a very nice sandwich. The Carnitas were nice done with some nice outside crust. The pork chunks were not plentiful, and there was a very small amount of guacamole salad and a few slices of jalapeño. Though it came with rice and beans, this was one of the smaller Carnita plates I have been served. I might drop in if in the area, but this is not a destination spot for me.
