This review is for the restaurant lunch buffet at the Crowne Plaza. It is only on the weekends and…read moreit absolutely worth checking out. The day that we dined here we got a two for one deal which added to the value. Cost was around 380 pesos which is about $23 USD. This was my first time to Monterrey in August of 2015 and had an awesome trip. This place gets packed on the weekend because of the buffet which also has a concert floor with live entertainment going on as well. There 6 areas of this buffet: Italian, Mexican, Grill, Desserts, Asian, and a salad bar. I sampled a bit from all the areas and the Grill was the BEST! You cannot find a better rib eye steak for under 400 pesos in all of Nuevo Leon! The reason why this is so great is because there is a lady right in front of the window cooking up 1/2 inch think rib eye steaks on a real wood fired grill. Most restaurant especially in the states do not do this, rather they use a big fancy convection oven which is good, but the grill is awesome. Once I had a rib eye off the grill I stayed with them for the rest of time i ate. The Italian was too cheesy and they use a different type of cheese which is not bad but different from the Alfredo found in the states. Dessert area you can order milkshakes, smoothies, and ice cream on the spot and made to order. Mexican had decent flautas and rest of the areas were decent, but nothing compared to the grill. I will defnietly come back for the Grill. I have some great prime grade and choice grade steaks all around the world but this was unique and very flavorful.

Not everyone spoke English, but the staff was still very attentive and managed to figure out what I wanted. I had grilled chicken from the grill and it was perfectly cooked. I didn't try the Italian side but it looked very good. Mexican food was ok. Would definitely go again.

If you're looking to feast, come thru to Tio Ponchos. My bfs cousin took us here on a Monday during…read morelunch time. There is tons of indoor seating and parking. The lineup is beyond me. Don't be shy, just try. I highly recommend trying a little bit of everything and pairing it with a Gordita. You know tia already at the hot plate slapping them fatties on. Those babies were fresh asf. Don't forget to check out the grill out side where Tio Poncho be smoking up some fresh meat. Overall, defiantly recommend!

Unworthy of a review itself (DO NOT GO)…read more They are pricey than Los Generals & can not even touch the spread or quality or the customer service or the cleanliness. First of all they force you to buy a drink that pushes the rates up by 45 pesos. Then when you go in, you find very bad selection of food and pairing. There is minimal quantity and frequency of filling wasnt up to the mark. I found the plates and cutlery to be stained and very badly maintained. In short i regretted my decision of going there.

Not a good experience but the service was good and we got a refund for one out of two meals. Buena variedad de comida pero ninguno de que era buena calidad. El bistec era demasiado salada y la mantequilla en el puré de patatas no era verdadera mantequilla. Los tacos estaban secos, viejos y quemados. No es una buena experiencia, pero el servicio era muy bueno y nos dieron un reembolso.

What spot has that!? The upstairs is a walk up the stairs but it's manageable. I sat upstairs but went downstairs because the sides down there had more to offer. The service is great but be aware this place gets PACKED so don't be a jerk if the service is not super fast. You have plenty of sides so it's not like you're starving. I Recommend asking for two drinks in the beginning since there is a ton of people if you don't want a long wait time. There is valet parking that makes things way easier. You can make an online reservation or just walk in.

Pretty tasty food, and the price and the quality are well in par. You won't leave the venue hungry…read moreeither as the venue is based on unlimited swords of grilled meat, shrimps, pineapple and other brazilian style of delicatesses -- including pretty tasty picanha. Sunday afternoon looks to be one of the favorite moments so be prepared for queuing. Nevertheless, the place is big so our waiting time was hardly 15 minutes despite of the reception area full of people awaiting for their turn. The salad buffee is included, and is quite complete with also parmesan cheese and hand-cut serrano ham. Being a busy place with sport tv channels and relatively loud background music entertaining people, this is an energetic experience. Well worth it!
