The Res tacos were perfection. The Pirata was so good we had to order another. The Hibiscus Guava Aguq Fresca was delicious and exactly what we needed on a hot day. This taqueria is a must-visit for us in Monterrey-- and should be for you too. :)

Eating tacos almost anywhere in Mexico is like eating pizza in NYC, every taco is just super yummy…read more We tried the chicharon (crispy pork belly-tender, but crunchy), pastore (rotisserie pork-like a giant gyro, well-seasoned, juicy), gringa (cheese and beefsteak, scrumptious). Apparently this place is so famous that Adidas makes an "Orinoco" sneaker collaboration. All served with chili sauces of varying degrees of heat. Not sure what makes every taco we tried in Mexico (taco Chula CDMX !) extra delicious, but just like NYC pizza, never experienced a bad one here.

Lovely little place. Unexpectedly trendy for the location. Great service. Interesting & tasty…read moretraditional food. Must try the lamb soup (available only on weekends though). & tlayuda. & OMG! The costilla taco! Everything is Yummy!! Warms the soul! Had lunch here again. Was let down by the soup. Looks like they've changed the recipe/flavors. This time it was bland & oversalted. Tasted more like a vegetable broth with barely any mutton/sheep flavor. & had rice & chickpeas in it, that took away from the flavor even more. A really pity! The previous version was flavoursome & rich. The ribs were oversalted too. Management, please take note!

These are not the best tacos in Monterrey, but they are very good and consistent, and busy! This is…read morea newer location and it is bright and airy, even when it's busy. I love the tacos with the chile de queso and chile de carne. Adding a simple corn tortilla to lightly battered stuffed pepper is perfect. Who knew? I add red salsa to the chile de carne and green to the chile de queso for a hot mouthful of delight. Their mushroom taco is very good, though sometimes they mushrooms for nopales (not my thing). And the other tacos are good to round out your order or support people who don't love the flavor explosion of the chile tacos.

I've dined here twice over the past few years, and each visit has been consistently outstanding. The steaks are top-tier--perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The starters are just as impressive, always managing to spark your appetite without overshadowing the main event. And the wine list? Second to none, with options that perfectly complement the food. Add to that the refined, attentive service, and you've got a dining experience that keeps you coming back. If you're in Monterrey and looking for a steakhouse that knows exactly what it's doing, La Nacional is a must.
