    Michelada
    Anna S.

    Monterrey is a local Tex-Mex chain. The restaurant itself has big booths (with comfy seats) and a bar area - it gives similar vibes to a casual dining restaurant. The music is quiet in the background and it's definitely family-friendly. The menu is also very extensive: you get a lot of options so everyone you come with should find an option that they're happy with. With this in mind, the food is decent for what you're getting: a casual dining (local) chain that has a wide variety of options. The portions are generous so it is worth the price and there's always parking available. The food won't blow you away, but I also didn't have any complaints about it. The guac and salsa are solid - and the servers are very good about refilling your chips. I came here because I was really craving a Michelada - and it definitely satisfied my craving. If I'm in a large group with picky eaters, I would have no problem returning here.

    Came here at the recommendation of a friend and did not disappoint. The restaurant is big with indoor, outdoor and bar seating areas. It even has an additional room for seating in the back which is were we were seated. The place has televisions and music so you could watch your favorite sports games. We were watching the GA vs FL football game, and listen to a variety of music at the same time. Antonio was our waiter and he was excellent! Courteous, funny, and very helpful. He recommended some great selections of food, beer and drinks, and even brought us different spicy sauces to sample. Immediately when you are seated they bring you chips and salsa. These are hot and crunchy, just as they should be in every Mexican restaurant. We ordered a side of guacamole to try it. It was real avocados mashed, not the fake stuff. Also ordered two margaritas. One regular and one frozen. Great way to start the evening. Throughout the night, they continued to refill the chips. We ordered the chicken wings as an appetizer. For our main meal, we had the whole fried fish which came with rice, french fries, salad, and a piece of garlic bread. Also ordered the Monterrey burrito. There are pics to see on this review. The food was delicious! Very authentic Mexican flavors and the price was great!! Definitely will be coming back. Kudos to Antonio for making our experience fabulous.

    First time here, my daughter and husband took me to dinner. They love this place and have for a very long time. When I walked in I thought maybe this place was new or a year old. Everything was open and seemed large, plenty of tables and bar area. Very clean and well maintained. Had music playing but low and not too loud. Greeted and seated right away and my daughter told me just wait and see how fast our food comes to the table. I was thinking that isn't always a good thing. But we ordered the Arroz Tejano (shrimp, chicken and steak with fajita veggies and rice $16) they could easily charge 21.99 as they gave me 7 good size shrimp and plenty of chicken and steak. We ordered and within 5 mins food was at table. Total time from being seated to getting the check was 23 mins.. Food tasted great, looked fresh will return for sure next time I visit my daughter.

    After many other restaurants were fully booked on a Friday evening, we settled for Monterrey. The restaurant was impressively large, so there were plenty of open tables. The drink menu was extensive and there were plenty of food options as well. My friend wasn't hungry, so she ordered the cappuccino and tres leches cake and my brother ordered a chicken and rice dish. I opted for a quesadilla. The cake was impressively presented with some spoon powdered sugar art and the cappuccino was served in an interesting cup. The food wasn't bad at all and it was a solid meal.

    We came here since we were running errands in the area and wanted to grab food to make the trip worth it. The service was speedy and the food was good. I got the Birria tacos which came with a dipping broth (which could've used more flavor). I ordered a house margarita which was incredibly underwhelming. A bigger drink isn't always better since it was mostly sour mix. I sent my friend a picture and she asked if it was a pineapple margarita because it was SO yellow. I'd rather have a normal sized drink that's actually well made. I would go back but would probably get a different drink. You can't have Mexican without a perfect margarita

    This place used to have great customer service and food for the price but really disappointed with my latest visit. When I asked if I could replace the tortilla for more peppers and onions instead, both the waiter and manager refused, leaving me paying the same price for less amount of food. Restaurants should consider health needs of customers and could have accommodated this minor request but sadly, Monterrey failed to provide customer service and the manager instead offered more chips and salsa. My food cost $20 but I get more value from a Chipotle nearby for about $4 less. On top of that, when I asked the waiter for more salsa, he forgot to do so and had to wait too long for the bill. The waiter gave the other customer beside us salsa instead.

    This place was absolutely amazing!!! So many options to choose from! I had the birria ramen and flautas and it was so good! I also had the margarita flight and all of them were great!! This is a must try!

    Texas Fajitas
    Vanessa H.

    Came here for a fun Cinco de Mayo night at around 6pm with a table of 11, and we surprisingly did not have any wait time! The restaurant was packed though, but the staff was nice even though they were running around everywhere busy with orders. The menu is extensive and offers food like burritos, tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, and combos. They start by giving the table chips and salsa which are always a treat. I opted for the Texas fajitas which came with steak, chicken, shrimp, and peppers with a side of rice, refried beans, and a side salad. The food took quite long to prepare (but there were a lot of people that night so I understand). The fajitas were so good and flavorful!! I got flour tortillas with it too, and it was all so tasty. Definitely would come back here to try the fajitas again because they have so many options.

    A good spot for a quick lunch. Typical Mexican American fare with great prices. Nothing over the top, but it does the job and was very good. The lunch menu is thorough and service was very fast. The food was also good quality. Definitely a place I will frequent.
