This is our "go to" Tex-Mex place near our friend's house. The food is always excellent and service is fast and outstanding. Lunch specials are all under $7. Combinations are not fixed and you can choose almost anything from a large list. Fajitas are excellent. One liter beers are very reasonable and super cold. It is never too crowded except at lunch on weekdays and Friday nights. You can always get a table without a (too much of a) wait. I usually don't eat red meat in a Tex-Mex restaurant, but this place has a great and tender Cheese Steak Burrito. I see a lot of negative reviews on this place and have never had a problem, so I'll keep going back! read more

It's just crazy the new owners, I guess they paid too much because they sure jacked the prices up. Yeah quesadilla up the street at Hacienda is about six dollars less. 250 for shredded cheese two dollars for the good sauce out of the back of the restaurant and four dollars for a club soda. Done there. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! Its very clean and we were greeted and seated right away . Ramon is very kind and made our dining experience very pleasant. I highly recommend the Margarita Sangria swirl ! The lemon pepper wings were so crispy and cooked perfectly! I will definitely be back ! read more

The food was good, but the service.. omg... Me and my boyfriend have been coming here since we moved to the area... and normally it's good but this last time we went.. unless you were buying shots or a big party they didn't pay you no attention! The server she didn't come check on us after we got our food and my drink was never refilled... and our server would just talk to the DJ the whole time and didn't pay anyone else attention, all her other tables were clearly ready to go, this experience was not what anyone would want. Don't know if we will ever come back here... read more

We've always enjoyed our food and drinks here.plenty of parking and inside it's quite large. I like their steak dishes which aren't that expensive. The wait staff are friendly and helpful too. read more

Great service! Very nice staff! And amazing food! Will not go to any other Monterrey location after today!

I will never go to this location again. After supporting this location for over two years, the manager accused me of taking the wrong food and not paying. Not only did I pay I also tipped them for a take out order. This stupid manager had the audacity to walk out of the store and stop my car to ask me if i paid!!! Not only that. he bought me my food and made me stand at the desk waiting for someone to come get my payment. Never again!!! read more

Me and my wife came here on a Sunday. It was one of those Zippity Doo Dah days. First thing I noticed the menu and sticker shock! I've been to other locations in the past and it seems like this is the highest I've ever seen the prices even for the lunch specials during the week. I mean $5 for a cup of soup? Anyway, having said that the food is still good and the service is still great! I don't know how Mexican restaurants do it they always seem to have the freshest Coke. The only complaint I have about Monterey is the quality of the meat doesn't look as fresh as other Mexican restaurants. It's almost of the Taco Bell variety which is pretty bad. However, I still recommend this location just be prepared to Pony up for the meal. read more

we have frequented Monterrey almost once a week for the past 25 years- the recently underwent an ownership change however and the atmosphere has gone down hill- our favorite staff members have either been fired or quit- won't be back read more

Stopped in for dinner after a long drive from a business and met my wife here. Haven't been here in a long time and wanted to try it again. We were very surprised how high the prices have gone. We decided to order anyway and I got the Fajita Quesadilla for $15. When it was delivered to the table, it was soooo small and barely any fajita meat on it. I asked the waiter if this was all the meat I get for $15 and he said yes and laughed. It was literally on a soft taco shell. Better prices and food at other Mexican restaurants in the area. One taco for $15 basically. read more

Our family usually stops by Monterrey to grab a bite with friends on Friday evenings. We have found it to be a great way to cap off a long week and ease into the weekend. The spot is easy to get to with ample parking in a large strip mall parking lot. We usually arrive around 6:30, and we have not had to wait for a table (although the restaurant fills considerably while we are there). We typically have 7 in our party, and the restaurant is large enough to accommodate several larger parties of that size. Chips, salsa, and queso are all great starters with the warning that it is easy to fill up on them. Proceed with caution. My husband and I are fans of the fajitas. We recently ordered the chicken fajitas for two and were overwhelmed with the portion size. That being said - we Put. It. Down. We cleared the plate! The fajitas were a great option. They also have a kid's menu with several options for kids. In our experience, service has always been quick and friendly. I am sure we will be back when we are in the area. read more

laced in order over the phone for steak burritos. They said 10-15 mins wait but waited 25 mins. I get home and got a beefs wrapped in a tortilla I ASKED FOR STEAK BURRITO everything in it with salsa on the side. I called and I am currently still on the hold for 12 mins and the girls said "oh, you asked for steak burrito and salsa on the side" And I said YES! Burrito with rice lettuce and everything in it. Also said I am asking for a refund and she said she'll need to get me to a manager. As I am writing this I am still on hold. I paid $8.17 for beef in a tortilla wrap when I asked for steak burrito. This is ridiculous. They didn't even apologize or anything. I keep calling with another phone but line is busy so I hung up on my side and tried calling again. It's still busy. read more

Terrible service, food is never right and girl at front desk tried to scam me. Beware of this place, I'll never go back

I went here for lunch today. I have been going here for 17 years. I sat outside. Same guy has waited on my for years. After 20 minutes I finally got my food. No cutlery. No napkins. He finally brought me a napkin. I had to use the spoon that came with the dish because again no cutlery. He brought out the bill. I waited 30 minutes for him to pick up the payment. Went inside to pay.. I told the young lady at the counter that if they sit someone outside they need to wait on them. She ignored me. I said did you hear me? The pen didn't write , I said can you please do your job? She said it wasn't her job.. NO TIP I will never ever go back here again. I have never been so disrespected at a resaurant in my life. The Hostess needs fired. Her attitude is running customers away. John W. Mulholland 3 read more

The nachos were good. However the wait time was longer then usual. The staff Is always super kind.

I came here last weekend and I had an awful experience. My sisters and I asked to sit outside due to the somewhat crowded restaurant. When we were seated the tables did not look clean and the server took a while to come to our table. We decided to order our drinks, tacos, & queso. Literally the simplest order and it still took a while. The queso was extremely runny and the tacos were literally just thrown thrown together. This is NOT quality Mexican food AT ALL! By this time we were just over it & wanted to ask for the check. But of course, it took so long!! We finally walked up to the front to pay. Very upsetting. read more

This was the WORST Mexican experience that I've ever had. Ordered chicken nachos, beef nachos and carne asada tacos. What I received was chips, large chucks of boiled , flavorless chicken and ground meat and cheese. No lettuce,tomato, cilantro, pico de Gallo. Also the tacos were literally just meat and a tortilla. No cheese or lettuce! When I called, I was told that you have to ask for special nachos. That's crazy!!!!! What in the world?The bill was 31+ dollars and the manager offered me a 15.00 credit. I will never do this again. Do yourself a favor and keep driving! I threw away all of the food because it was inedible. read more

Used to love this place. The enchilada sauce tasted like sweet barbecue sauce. Did not eat any of my food.

You absolutely must get the chicken tortilla soup. It's not even a question. This is some god tier soup. I have never loved anyone or anything as much as I love this perfectly and masterfully crafted soup. I can't express how deep my love of this soup truly is. read more

This is one of sarah's favorite spots from high school, and it was a pretty quick and easy bite! feels like your typical "local mexican place," serving all the basics. we got the cheese dip to start, i got enchiladas verdes, and sarah got a taco enchilada combo. it was pretty standard, and we did eat all our food. chicken was dry though and not crazy seasoned. also it was kinda expensive for the spot sarah tells me they recently raised prices so that could be it. anyways, good eat! parking was easy as it's in a strip mall, no wait or anything, and they have incremented tables closed for covid protocols! read more

TL:DR-pretty standard Americanized Mexican food that misses on some of the basics. Better options in the area. Like others have said, this is a pretty standard Americanized Mexican restaurant. Nothing wrong with that. I've eaten here a couple times and tried several different dishes. The lunch specials are cheap and come out fast. The other dishes on the menu seem overpriced for what you get compared to other restaurants in the area. Tacos-nothing special. Nothing wrong with them. They're cheap. Burritos-smaller than many nearby restaurants for the same price. Chimichanga-disappointingly soggy, not at all crisp. Fajitas-good, pretty normal imo. Chips-depends, I think they save the previous day's chips. If you show up early in the lunch hour they may taste dry and a bit burnt. For me, chips are a basic and it should be impossible to mess it up. Lunch specials-careful when you order. There are options (sort of listed as included?) that can cost $1-$2 extra. Make sure you're not paying extra for something you thought was part of the base price. Note: the online menu is out of date. I tried to get a tostada and was told sorry, no. read more

we have been eating here for decades but will never come back. There is one waiter that every time we get him we end up with these incredibly expensive margaritas but only when he waits on us...it's not worth it, the food is good but so is the food from the Mexican restaurant a couple miles away and they don't do the margarita trick. you get a higher tab which results in a higher tip but when customers don't come back, what do you have left? Bye Monterrey read more

I love everything at Monterey! They have fun music playing, great staff & delicious food! Service is great & management is always present & helpful! My husband and I go at least weekly!

Update: This place has gone to shit. Only decent things are the chips and salsa. We won't go back. We finally found a decent Mexican restaurant near home! Could be that our expectations were so low, but we really enjoyed our food - I had fajitas with shrimp, steak, sausage and cheese, and my husband had the carne asada. Chips & salsa are good, and we also liked the cheese dip. read more

Favorite place for Mexican. Cheese dip here is the best and the nachos are my personal favorite. Growing up around here, you are definitely thankful this is your Mexican restaurant as opposed to another areas Mexican restaurant that one might experience purely based on food and service. read more

Today I ordered steak fajitas. They came out to the table without a plate or tortillas. They sat on the cast-iron for a while. The onions were burnt, and the beef had a strange, unpleasant flavor. I returned them right away. They gave me a burrito with the same meat. I took one bite of that and return it as well. The waitress said she would take both off the bill. Instead, the manager still charged $10. When I asked what was going on, he accused me of doing this on purpose in order to get free food. "You order one thing, you eat half, we give you a different dish, you eat half, you look for a free food. I charge you $10." Not only was the food bad, but the manager was insulting, rude and very unprofessional. He said some thing about, "if you come back,..." An unbelievably bad experience. Do not go there. Prevent your friends from going there.... read more

This place is soooo good! The service is amazing and the food is just as good. I am not sure why the reviews are low but we love this place! The margaritas are great as well as the nachos. They also make a homemade habanera hot sauce which is some of the best sauce I have ever had!! 10/10 recommend!! read more

Good food. Exactly what you expect. Cozy place and much better than any other Mexican place we have tried around here. Tacos are awesome!!

Wasn't extremely hungry but ordered the tortilla soup, chips n dip and my friends ordered other items. I also liked the mirror in the bathroom and the guitar player entertainment was awesome. read more

For Americanized Mexican food at lunch, this is my spot. I almost always get the nachos and they are completely covered in queso. They have some great $5.50 lunch specials too. Next time I will probably get the lunch fajitas which are a little cheaper than my nachos but look a lot healthier. The staff is great at getting you in and out in 40 minutes flat, keeping drinks topped off, and the chip bowl full. read more

Best standard mexican restaurant in the area. I really love Chile Rellenos made with real Poblanos or Hatch chiles. I will always order them on one of the first couple times I try a place. Well the Monterrey Chile Rellenos are the gold standard for a regular mexican restaurant(i.e. not a gourmet/fine dining place). Wife loves the mexican shrimp, kids love the white cheese dip. It's the cheese dip this guy goes on about...which you can't get out west where we are now. http://www.xenite.org/white_cheese/ read more
