I went to this place and got the buffet. The price was cheap. I will recommend coming to this place and eating the buffet when you are drunk that way it goes down easy. The food was bland, cold and with no taste. I wouldn't recommend the buffet. I can't speak for their menu, but if it is anything like their buffet, I would stay away. read more

Monterrey Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Braselton, Georgia

See all

We love this place! We love the local small biz feel. The food is amaze balls too. I have never enjoyed steak at a Mexican restaurant before. Everything is flavorful and tender. We have taken everyone who visits here. Take out was wonderful too! read more

This used to be our favorite restaurant in Braselton until our last visit and we won't be coming back now that we found Centinela! The quality of food and service has notably declined. I was disappointed by the lack of overall flavor and the inattentiveness of the servers. Sorry, but won't be coming back. read more

So glad this is nearby. Excellent service every time I've been. Large menu and full bar. Another new fave!

I have been to this place hundreds of times probably. I have never seen it staffed by white high school kids lol But I enjoy this place. Salsa great, service is always to par. I only receive sub par service when it's slammed packed. -1 cause the food doesn't do anything special for me. Just typical Mexican restaurant food. But I'll keep going back because I love everything else about it. read more

Do not eat here. I got food poisoning in two separate visits here. The food tasted fine so I'm not sure what happened. My husband also got sick on one visit. I usually love Monterey but I will be avoiding the one in Braselton. I did report them to the health department. read more

Great fresh ingredients always used and always wonderful service.. Must try freshly made guacamole! If you like Margaritas ..ask the owner for Mike's custom Margaritta! Includes Top shelf liquor..not cheap but tastes awesome! This location is surprisingly never super busy..but has great food! Hands down the Best Mexican restraunt around! read more

My father and I ate at This restaurant and we had a great experience. Here are the top 3 things: 1. Portions - the amount of food we received was unbelievable. We ordered fajitas for 2 and couldn't even finish it! 2. Cost - under $35 for two people to eat including non-alcoholic drinks was an amazing value. 3. Service, Christina from Romania was our server and she was on point. Attentive but not overbearing, sweet and good at her job 10/10 would come here again! read more

Always great. We love the brown salsa and how fast the food comes out. It is great with a child. Quick and easy.

I am so over this place! Tried for an hour to place a to-go order but could not get them to answer the phone. So I ordered Door Dash. Order came and was not correct (forgot the tortillas for the Carne Asada). My door dash guy was nice enough to return only to find them wanting him to pay for them! UNBELIEVABLE! As a patron of 10 years, I will not return. Too many options around here to put up with this terrible customer service!! Goodbye! read more

We usually never have a problem when we come here, however this time was a complete disaster. The waitress did not know the menu at all, then she was given specific instructions on the meal and it came out messed up. We were overcharged on all of our items saying they have changed the prices but haven't updated the menu. We will never return. Terrible service. The manager them argued about what we ordered as it was right on the table read more

Tonight is my first visit here and I'm not happy at all with the food prep. We ordered fajitas for two people. During the middle of our dinner I found something that wasn't right. I examined it and it was a small rock. We spoke with the manager and he gave us 15% off the meal. Are you kidding me? A rock and you give me 15%. The food was decent, but finding rocks in your fajitas will kill any meal. I suggest you think twice about eating somewhere that has rocks in the food. They didn't seem to care that an issue of this magnitude happened. Yep, that's my MO, i put rocks in food so I can get something, read more

After showing up at 9:15pm on a Saturday night (July 4th weekend after being on the lake) we were turned away. Online and on the door the hours say they close at 11:00pm Friday and Saturdays. We've eaten here many times over the years since we live in the area and have unfortunately seen it go down hill. Very disappointed in the poor service we have experienced in our visits over the last few months. We informed them that we would take our business to Cabos up the street from now on. read more

This place is horrible. Believe me. It should have been a red flag the second we walked in, it was dead. The place was dark and gloomy and stuffy hot inside. The booths were movable/moving which when we sat down made the whole booth behind us move too. Our waitress was lacking in the knowledge of the menu and dishes they had to offer. She also didnt offer us water. They ran out of coca cola. I ordered the carnitas dinner and instead got a small portion of fat and pig skin to gnaw on. Had to wave down the waitress for a refill on water. The bathrooms were dirrty this day. I guess i just had a really bad experience. I wont be back. I hope others have a better experience here. Good luck. read more

Visiting GA with family and came here on a whim and it was DELICIOUS! We could not stop talking about how good the food was the entire time! All 5 of us ordered something different and there wasn't anything that was short of perfect. We got the skinny margarita pitcher... amazing. Such a bang for your buck. The guac was so fresh. The portions were so big, and the flavor of each dish was spot on (we all tried each other's food). We recommend the tacos al pastor, carnita tacos, carne asada tacos, and fajitas. My favorite by far was the tacos al pastor. So much flavor! Lastly, the service was wonderfully friendly. Recommend through and through! read more

We eat here A LOT! The carnitas are the best I have ever had. Very friendly & clean. VERY good Mexican food & reasonably priced.

I love the food and the employees. They're always so nice, my husband and I always make it a point to eat here once a week. Get a frozen margarita! They're amazing and way stronger than anyone else's I've had! Definitely worth the $$$ read more

This is the best Mexican food in the world! We go so often that the manager & most of the servers know is by name. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean & the food is delicious. Get the brown salsa! (You have to ask for it) the beer is ice cold, too. read more

Try the chorizo cheese dip and wash it down with a cold beer or margarita. The Texas fajitas for 2 is a great option that will not let you down. read more

Have been going here since day one. Very good Mexican food at a very affordable price. Only complaint is that during high traffic times the service is below average. Other than that food is always very consistent. read more

Unreal absolutely phenomenal Mexican food. I had the lunch shredded chicken chimichanga and it's the best . My wife had a shredded chicken salad and it was very tasty. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and wish they had one in Athens Georgia read more

Have been going to this place since I was born! Would absolutely recommend! The food and staff are amazing, great atmosphere, child friendly, great for groups, buffets every Sunday and never busy before 3 PM. Amazing in all! read more

Great queso. Ask for the brown salsa. It is free and better than the regular table salsa.

This is your typical Mexican restaurant. The main thing that sticks out to me is the Sunday brunch. The Mexican buffet is always good and affordable too! Polite and friendly service. Would defiantly recommend. read more

I don't like no more I have bad experiences because the food I ordered was so bad the meat tasted really bad

I honestly think that this restaurant is not such a good " Mexican restaurant" because the food is not as great... last time I went food was cold and had no taste what's so ever and the price of it was beyond the quality of the food. Also, the service that they had the day we went was terrible... bad actitudes to the costumers and acted like they did not care about the costumers and it's disappointing because you would expect to feel welcome in a restaurant but they just force you want to leave. And me having experience working with costumer service for a few years I know that costumers are always the #1 priority and if you can't make a good impression then your just making the company loss. Also the restaurant it's not really that clean, you could see trash everywhere on the floor, the tables they sat you on would be dirty or with food residues, also the bathrooms were in bad shape. I personally expected more out of this restaurant specially the fact that I live like 3-5 min away from it hoping it would be a good nearby Mexican food restaurant i could enjoy. But I rather drive a few more miles down the road for a better treating, clean, more acceptable restaurant that this one. read more

I come into this place once a week! It's that good! The service is great. They are very friendly. I always get the number 5 with a chille rellano with a sweet tea! The portions are great. This is the perfect lunch place, it's quick and just what you are looking for Mexican! read more

This used to be our go to Mexican restaurant, and now unfortunately we will never be back, Our server was Val and she was completely rude from the moment we sat down, we got cheese dip and Guacamole and it was great! Then we got our food 45 min. after we had ordered, tacos were stale, cheese smelled rotten, everything was cold, Cal said she would send over the manager, he never came. Went to leave and they made us pay for everything, and the manager just said "sorry" didn't have any respect nor did they care at all and to top it all off it was Mother's Day, we will be finding a new family Mexican restaurant to go to from now on. read more

Went there last week for a seminar lunch. Server was excellent but food only mediocre. Had taco salad and beef was tasteless. With so many other Tex-Mex places nearby will not be going there again. read more

my family and i have been going to the restaurant since before i can remember. their employees are very friendly and helpful. also the food comes out fairly quick. they have amazing mexican food and an excellent variety for children. if your looking for a Mexican restaurant this is your place! read more

FIRST & LAST experience with this place. Don't waste your $$ on this place, the cheese dip is very thick and has a weird texture. My meal was no better, the the steak is very chewy and stringy. If you are going to eat here, at least choose a chicken dish. I will be sticking with La Parilla from now on!!! read more

Taking a road trip up I85 in Georgia, just stopping for lunch. Monterey is a pleasant surprise. Well worth the extra 5 minutes off the highway. Food was flavorful and plentiful. Really good for Georgia. We're spoiled living in Dallas with dozens of amazing choices. Really good. read more

Monterey in my opinion is the best Mexican in the area. Everything I've ordered has been cooked right and delicious. Everyone who works there that I've met is very kind and helpful. Hannah is an awesome waitress! read more

This is your standard board of fare as far as Mexican restaurants go. Nothing knock-your-socks off spectacular, but everything is decent. But, they have excellent service, and they have Pacifico, so that makes them better than a good many Mexican restaurants in the area. Plus, the lunch menu is cheap! I just ate lunch for $7.00. Can't beat that! Give it a try. :) read more

I like their food even though the staff is quiet. GF ordered just steak for a healthy plate which is pretty inexpensive. The waiter improper charged her by double amount. We went to the manager and he would not correct his employees mistake. So, remember if they make a mistake, you have to pay. The manager comment was he didn't care if we came back. Bad business. read more
